Cabron LaSwan I just heard the book 'The Giver' referred to as futuristic. I am Cabron's revolted irritation. Why is the future always depicted as a cold, barren state of physical and emotional stasis? Is that what people want, a future without music or beauty or pleasure or passion, or just what they've innately accepted as the consequence for the 'convenient and disposable' mentality that society promotes, and if so, why doesn't anybody get that they can change that if they just stop telling themselves that everything's ******** anyway and actually try a few solutions instead of wallowing in the problem?
Maybe people just like to complain; maybe they want things to b***h about. I mean, I'm having fun bitching about this. There's nothing wrong with having fun. Why did I never see this before? Try reading Brave New World sometime. You realize afterward that pretty much every "classic" book set in the future is a social commentary on the practices of the time in which they were written. For the writers, that is how they choose to change the world, by showing people what they're doing in another light.

Yeah, I get that, but marketing it as futuristic, rather than as the warning that it is, is like...accepting it. I dunno, I just didn't like it. In the context, it seemed like it was being described as a welcome future somehow. I would trip balls if society just let something like that happen.
Oooohhhh if they tried to get rid of music there'd be hell to pay. I would bust a nut. I would grow a ******** nutsack just so I could bust one.

y u no ******** squid. >:C I wanna teach everyone cure now. I had run out of potions. Tidus can actually get onto Yuna's path right at the Nuls fairly early in the game; you can send him on a detour on to pick up the four Nuls, Cure, and Esuna if you're having trouble in the water. Just keep an eye out for a Key Sphere (I think you need lv. 2, which you can get by defeating Lord Ochu in Kilika Forest, but I think you have to Overkill him, so save Yuna's overdrive for the last hit.) Well s**t. I'm already pass Ochu. fffuuu Yeah, I wanted Yuna to learn some Black Magic, and both she and Tidus have to get pass this on Lv 2 lock.

I'm not sure if you're able to get it on your way back or not. If you are, Ifrit should make short work of him.
OH BTW Ifrit (like the other elemental aeons) absorbs his own element. You can use the Fire spell he starts with as healing.

Anyone ever read Eden: It's An Endless World?
Pretty good manga. Lots of philosophy and s**t, but it also has the standard manliness qualities:
- Guns
- Tits
- Is not moe.
- Blood
- Gore
- Language
- Did I mention blood?
- Robots that have guns and make people bleed.

Got my septum pierced because I'm awesome.
Actually it's because it's the only piercing I can hide at work and show when I'm off. The only thing I didn't account for was that I have a a different nasal structure than most people with pierced septums. So genetics (I'm probably like 95% black XD) are keeping me from keeping this amazing piercing. Hopefully the piercer can find me a different size or make it wider.
I had to take it out earlier today because I had an appointment that I had to show up for in uniform. It was out for an hour and I'm so surprised it didn't close. I got it pierced less than 4 days ago.

That's the thing though, LPS, it wouldn't be just an overnight thing.
Like BAM NO MUSIC
BAM NO COLORS
BAM NO FUN
In The Giver, in 1984, Fahrenheit 451, they're all futures that have "Ironed out" all the creases of society that cause problems, basically. It's not a "Warning" but it's not "This is how the Future will be" either.
You can't market it as something of a warning. That just.. wouldn't work to me.
I mean, it worked in like.. Idiocracy, but that's a comedy(If you can call it that) movie.
It needs to read like a good novel.
I dunno. Maybe I missed the whole point of what you're saying. .-.

Yeah, I guess I only see it as a warning because I'm seeing basic freedoms violated around the world and human rights disregarded in the news stories I read... I'm sure, however, that if s**t did go south, we would be able to turn it around before we ever let it get that out of hand.
I think the proper word to describe The Giver would be 'contrast'. It is a shocking contrast to our society, maybe a reminder to count our blessings. I mean, there are some people who live in the present day who can't see colors. There are some people who can't see at all. And there are some people who can't hear at all.
....Some people can't listen to ********>

....Some people can't listen to ******** class="clear"> So, for the sake of arguing a point I don't agree with. Why is that so far south? What's wrong with getting rid of music? Music seems to be a huge problem in today's society, what with the rape and violence in rap music, and the whiny teens that scene music brings? Or Movies? Movies are just turning us into mindless zombies. Or opposite to that point, books. Why read books? Books have knowledge, that might make you want to rebel. Might give you ideas you shouldn't be having. We should burn those books. Freedom? With freedom, again comes rebellion. Do you think, if we lived in a world like Orwell's 1984, there would have ever been a 9-11 bombing? What about... Columbine? If the government can watch you all the time, See your every movement, why not? Why not save millions? What makes your freedom more important than Dave in accounting's life?

If the government can watch you all the time, See your every movement, why not? Why not save millions? What makes your freedom more important than Dave in accounting's life? We clearly have a very different view of the world and I'm going to choose to avoid getting into a topic that I am passionate about with someone who's admitted he only really cares about arguing, because I can't see that creating anything but pointless conflict. Instead I'm going to ask you why you would invest any time at all into arguing in favor of things you don't want.
