If you add sound, it can go up to 11.

Why would you want to kill someone? If you say it's OK because those people 'don't really exist', then the same applies to you. So why not kill yourself? Then again, if you don't exist either, why kill yourself? Why do any of that? Why not do what makes you happy instead? Since you will still be part of the karma system an having a mind, being a human being, able to feel pleasure and displeasure - why torture yourself? The core of your reasoning is confusion. You put way too much meaning into mere words and concepts.

Either concentrical, or, even better: in piechart style (with smooth edges to not look too crappy while standing still) so that the faster you go, the more the rainbow blurs into white! This would totally embody the fact that Rainbow Dash unfolds her full awesomeness when moving fast. OR even better: rainbow spiral, so that it creates an outward or inward moving effect of the rainbow colors. Also: muscle car and MLP - who would claim this is girly?! http://www.bronyville.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1626&start=36 Speaking of cars... funny idea: http://ricky47.deviantart.com/art/MLP-NFS-Racers-275365541

This is a job for Psycho the Rapist.

Season 1 episode 21 - "Over A Barrel" is one of those twistings of history, regarding Native Americans. By now I realize that while it doesn't make much sense, Equestria is like a modern time nation. There is France (Fluttershy mentioning French haute couture), and ponies with German accent and all. Makes it less of a stretch of imagination why New Lunar Republic fan fiction came about. I mean, tha episode makes the Natives look like intolerant and irrational. Not only did they want the orchard gone for their traditional stampeding instead of because it's a burial ground (which would have been according to reality), but in the end it turns out there a wide path through the orchard, so they can stampede freely through it without causing any harm. But now they also charge a fee (apple pie) in exchange for peace. The chief talked about his ancestors, so the theme of death can't be a taboo in the show, thus burial ground would be an appropriate reason. I guess it's still just too difficult for the average US American to digest the reality that the colonizing was to an increasing degree militant landgrab. Then there's so much translation to pony theme that doesn't make sense. They have steam locomotives, but they are pulled by ponies. Whuaaa? Why not without the ponies? After all Equestria has electricity and stuff - quite modern. The degree of lazy writing in that regards is comparable to the "The Little Mermaid" TV show, where you have things like hot bath tubs ... underwater. With the hot water staying in the tub ... just like if they weren't undersea... which they are. So as I said before: brain on standby, then it's great fun.

Groovy! I don't really grasp what he's doing with the buttons - it seems like more complex than just restarting tracks. But the whole thing is enjoyable. What I mean with abridging though is not what DJs do. DJs usually stretch music and add 'foreign' music styles more suited for a certain clientele. I guess what I am imagining is something that to my knowledge hasn't been explored yet: the certain something that makes music awesome. There must be a science behind why certain tunes/songs make it into the charts. (Not the best measure, but still.) And I'm an audiocentric guy I guess. I hear a tune and then at some point might go like: Awwww, why did they continue THAT way? It was just about to become really awesome, touching. I'm not good at making things from scratch, but once I get a trigger, an intro, I can let it flow. I wish I had a sound studio and a cool team available at all times. But we can't always get what we want, right? And besides: Forcing things destroys the flow. Back to ponies: I have another question: Did anybody do a personality/visuals (at first I wrote "viausl", lol - talk about mixup) mixup of the six mane ponies? That's always hilarious. Imagine: Apple Pie, Rainbow Rare, Twilight Jack, Pinkie Dash, Rainbow Flutter. Or go fully bonkers: Pinkie Shy and her confused friend Twilight Flutter, lesbian pals Apple Dash & Rainbow Jack, and the unbearable Rarity Rare. OOOOOR ... give all ponies the Pinkie factor, except Pinkie Pie, who gets the traits from all the other five. Hmmm., let's see, that would be: Pinkie Sparkle, Flutterpie, Rare Pinkie, Pink Apple, Rainbow Pie and Rare Twilight Rainbow Flutter Jack. Did I mention any combo twice? I don't think so! OOOH MYYYYY! We need MLP smileys!!! Gonna dig some up. Brb. EDIT: They have no Pinkie grin smiley at the internet. I'm disappointed! EDIT2: HAH! Made my owln! P.S.: I wish I knew how to make smooth resize of a selection in PSP without the edges smooting into the transparent color.

Owledge Weed log. ... We do gel , ogle wed. (Gold ewe. ) -> Weld ego. -> We El God. P.S.: An "analgram" is a pair of words that both consist of the same letters, except one has an additional "l". Just made that up.

Ah, OK, so your new name and your old name are an anagram. Cool that "redundantjovianthor" even makes so much sense ... in itself even.

It is not clear how exactly the alleged plane crashed into the Pentagon. The blackened area could suggest that it was in fast descent and its wings hit the ground or building front, evaporating the fuel over a wide area of mostly free air. Also, the Pentagon, being THE military headquarters of the USA, was built with an extra-fortified structure. More generally speaking, I hope you're not suggesting that the WTC and the Pentagon are in any way or SHAPE similar. *wink* *wink* More in detail - a rocket without a warhead would just punch a hole with minimal collateral damage, depending on the rigidity of the target's structure. And the other things I noted might have been caused by the 'long' collapse of the towers. I've seen some photos and am not sure whether they are photos of the old planned/simulated/practiced attack from decades ago or actually from 9/11, but there was a mention of small scale jet engines. And judging by the crappy CCTV video from outside, that could as well have been a remote-controlled F-16. Too bad there seem to be no aerial photos of the impact area. I'd like to check details about the second row of buildings and the space in-between 1st and 2nd. My gut-feeling tells me that there should have been some debris there. The amount of information I could find about the Pentagon incident is unsatisfying. Which again leads to the political realm: Get the criminals out of office and a lot more information would become available.

Of those things just posted, I recommend focusing on the political issues, like that absurd illogical reasoning regarding explosives evidence or statements from commission members. The other stuff, again, contains a lot of stuff based on a misunderstanding of physics. It saddens me that Jesse Ventura says in interviews that he worked in demolition himself and then talks about stuff like the points I mentioned. Shows that working in a field is (of course) no guarantee for omniscience. The steel girder thing is still soft evidence, because ... who can say for sure that in a scenario like that, with a whole steel structure collapsing and the brutal forces at work, steel girders don't break like that - *SNAP*. They might not have had time to bend. This is trivial: You have a metal rod that is very inflexible. You use a machine and bend it slowly. You take another rod and bend it quickly and it breaks. And there's no reason why it should have a tendency to break in a jagged style like seen in silly comics. Very hard evidence: - perpetrators' own words - whistleblowers - contradictions - proven lies / malicious actions What I would love to see for entertainment purposes (personal amusement) is a visual simulation of how based on aboveshown physics-based claims the collapse of a tower is supposed to look if you remove the alleged explosives from the equation. Just weaken it to the point of collapse at the impact point. How do people imagine it would look? Like a sugarcone maybe, with all the pulverized concrete stacking onto itself? I mean, seeeeriously! How much did that building top weigh again? Something like four hundred thousand tons? Compare with the F4 phantom video again and tell me there were explosives planted in the plane's hull because the dust is flying outwards to all sides. f4 phantom jet: little mass + huge velocity wtc building top: little velocity + huge mass ... And yeah - the official version of what supposedly happened is an absurd conspiracy theory.

What do you mean? An anagram needs at least two parts.

Boeing 767 = roughly 8 times the mass of a B-25. Higher velocity. Reactor concrete is not the same as building concrete and steel girders. Also, to be correct, the video didn't show how the impact point on the test wall looked afterwards. I'm pretty sure abrasion will have caused a crater. That's how it absorbs the damage - by now allowing pressure waves to travel through and wreak havoc in the structure. All this I consider soft evidence, because it involves a lot of chaotic complexity. A possible explanation for the high temperatures is that in that hell of destruction, there will be a lot of pulverized metal of the ingredients of thermate, and jet fuel and pressure might cause it to ignite. I have to say though that there's at least one photo of the remains of a steel girder that look exactly the way they would after a common controlled demolition technique. (45 degree angle, clean cut) Also, since apparently there were explosives planted in WTC7 before the attacks, it is not absurd to suggest that the same was the case in the twin towers to ensure maximum destruction. This gains further credibility by the long history of the U.S. goverment of planning and sometimes executing the same stuff. The real hard evidence is found on the political level, not on the scientific level. People lying, contradicting, deceiving, refusing statement, manipulating data and much more. This is why the 9/11 truth movement emphasizes that they want a proper investigation, not that they have all the truth. And that is not being allowed. It's like first you have a ton of things that don't make sense and then ask those who should know for clarification and you basically get a "Fuck off, moron. We won't say anything more on this.". As far as I know (it's a public claim and relatively easy to verify) the 9/11 commission report didn't mention WTC7 at all. This is just one example of many. The report couldn't contain anything that the U.S. government didn't accept to be published. As I said, on one side you have the people, wanting answers and the truth, and on the other side you have liars with a long history of severe crimes against humanity, and the latter still are given more credibility than the former? That's kinda odd. It's a bit painful for people who are properly informed about history to see how the same stuff keeps repeating itself over and over and almost every time people are being fooled. Reality is that there's absolutely solid legal evidence that would require many high ranking politicians to be incarcerated for life (or even death sentence, depending on the jurisdiction), but in practice they have immunity, because the system is sufficiently corrupted in their favor. The problem is so big that people have come to accept crimes against humanity as 'normal' and regard those who want nothing more than the government to act within a legal framework as radicals and terrorists. I've done a lot of reading about the Iran conflict, and that one is a very good example for why the U.S. government has zero trustworthiness. The USA is in the UN security council together with other countries who have nuclear weapons. They don't allow UN inspectors in their nuclear facilities. They develop new nuclear weapon technologies. They facilitate trade of nuclear weapons technology to other countries that have not signed the NPT. They support countries militarily that have not signed the NPT and have nukes. They refuse to follow their obligations to help all NPT countries with their civilian nuclear technology. They are violating every fundamental principle of the NPT and are bullying another country based on those very allegations. Man, sometimes I feel like a guy in Nazi Germany trying and failing to convince people that Hitler is not a benefactor. But at least back then there was no internet - information transfer was much more limited. Today there is no good excuse for not seeing what's happening.

It's so much I can't remember all the sources, and it's kind of everywhere. (Thus I assume your motivation was a bit biased, since it's almost impossible to not stumble over solid facts e.g. while browsing youtube videos.) You'd have to be more specific. It requires a dialogue based on sincere and somewhat passionate inquiry (which I don't see right now) to be fruitful, otherwise it's just a waste of effort. I won't try to change people's beliefs. I can only help them change theirs once they are ready.

Talking about being open to all possibilities, but quite made up your mind about who the 'bad guys' are. I saw that as an incentive to help you find some factual basis to understand why things happen and why people are doing what they do. And why are you surprised 'the topic' got switched from Spiral Dynamics to 9/11 conspiracy theories? This thread was originally about gun control law. All in all, it sounds like you made a conscious decision to not be ready for further steps in compassionate evolution. It's your choice, but staying at that level could become more difficult over time, and then the choice will be a harder one. Spiral Dynamics caused you some dizziness there.

"You expect me to make dick jokes now, don't you? ... Well, I could ask most of the men in this room to line up on the stage. Would that pass as a dick joke? ...... I'd have to leave the stage though, because ... well ... SPOILER ALERT! Haha!"

Maybe I can save you some time and help you finding what you were looking for, since I've done years of study in the area. Evidence for what did you try to find and couldn't? By the way, you misunderstand. Believing in those theories doesn't help me to go within and see what is. I choose to see what is, thus I know that there's truth in those theories. Thus I don't have to believe a theory, but I know which information is true, regardless of any artificial limiting construct like a "theory". You said you worked in the military, so your perceptions are (apparently) twisted based on the military's authoritative and sometimes chauvinistic mentality. I want to stress that availability of information is not the problem; access is. Various threads here in the forums contain very eye-opening information, and what you should realize is that there's a lot of information out there that you probably wouldn't believe despite being undisputed - yes - agreed upon by corporate media, mainstream and fringe historians and whatever else group. The mind trick that corrupt governments/media play on people all the time is to keep them distracted from the obvious unsettling truth. It's the kind of information that sheeple will usually react to with statements like "Don't you have anything better to do?" or "I have to worry about feeding my family, no time for that stuff.". Any system meant to represent the people has to be fueled by the people. If a group of people choose a champion for something that they themselves are incapable of, then they will get according results. Instead, they should choose mere representatives, humble servants. Compare that to the gun control situation: More and more people giving up personal responsibility for upholding costitutional values, instead putting that power in the hand of people who then take that responsibility away from those who didn't do so voluntarily. If you buy a used car and have no clue about car technology or contract law, don't be surprised if you get ripped off. That's the price of convenience.

I'm wondering about the phenomenon of seeing colors and moving patterns with closed eyes and its origins. Can it be explained purely with mainstream medical science, or are there ways to distinguish what is caused by other things, like excess energy in the head or whatever. I've read somewhere that myopia can cause this, too. Myself, I sometimes for example see in darkness a circle starting from the rim of my view, moving inwards and once reaching the center, a new ring will form and move inwards, in an inerval of a few seconds. Besides that, it's never completely black. There's always some activity of faint, random fields of brightness. Not like when pressing on the eyeballs - much more subtle, but kinda related in style.

Oh my, that's government agit-prop. Just like "the terrorists hate us for our freedom". It's almost insulting to imply that people who don't buy the official story are chaos-loving egoists drunk with power. Also, reigning supreme and anarchy is a contradiction, for anarchy can only work if you don't have that ambition in its participants.

What is "red" about it and what about it do you consider nonsense?

This is what bugs me about popular conspiracy research. How could one 'overlook' the obvious difference of a fire from inventory burning vs. a fucking avgas-filled airliner crashing into the building?! Also, regarding the popular statement about the collapse speed, usually using the term "near free fall", I usually just respond with this little physics course: (To not get confused: The WTC was not built with reactor concrete.) Once a part of the WTC was no longer seated on a stable structure, it acelerated, and then nothing could stop that immense mass. It just pulverized everything below it and blew the fine result out to all sides. Many people don't understand that physics don't scale with size. They're constants. A 1/100 model of the WTC with a steel structure would be much more stable than the actual buildings. WTC7 is a different animal, but one should be able to discriminate. WTC7 was a classic controlled demolition, with the bottom floor collapsing fully plus the central pillar being at the beginning of the collapse. After the lies that the building structure was weakened by airplane debris, then they said they pulled it because it was too badly damaged. And anybody who has at least some knowledge of controlled demolition will realize how absurd it is to claim that within a few hours they got a demolition team into a burning building, prepping it for perfect controlled demolition. Because that takes days... only days if you forget about all the other prepping to avoid hazard to the surrounding environment. A controlled demolition with no prepping except planting explosives makes little sense right next to other buildings, especially since WTC7 was not in danger of collapsing. But they pulled it to get rid of incriminating information about the planning of the 9/11 attacks, and the owner made a nice sum with insurance fraud regarding WTC7 and the twin towers.

Does England have fewer gun deaths in total or per capita? And are those statistics including law enforcement and criminals? It could very well be an exception. Many countries have shockingly loose gun laws and very few gun deaths. This is the prime argument against putting primary blame on gun availability. If criminals know civilians aren't allowed to own guns, they don't think twice about using gun violence. Also, regarding the USA: It's not the guns that kill, it's social problems, created, naturally, by the antisocial behavior of those who have massive influence over shaping society. The whole thing is just another system, and any system can be corrupted. It's the collective power of enlightened individuals that will, naturally, bring about conditions that far supercede Wilber's idea of a World Federation. Because that one is still employing old world philosophy, like that crime has to be fought, met with punishment. I keep advising people not to get too entangled in systems and concepts. The solution has to originate within. Without that source, it cannot manifest outside. Our physical existence is a fear game, and only love and compassion can raise the average level of enlightenment, because it represents and influx from a higher realm. Trying to better the world without that is like a government's fiscal policy trying to improve things by moving around budgets between useful purposes. Unless more money flows in, it's pointless. Fighting something that fights .. guess what's the outcome of that.

Blue is an erroneous belief, orange is wise (or only logical, since it is part of the legal foundation of the government) and green (first sentence) is a philospohical distortion of reality, a blame-game to reject responsibility.

Please point out the truth that allegedly all those first tier views have in them. I don't see any in what you wrote.
