"one people, one government, one world"Erm... was that an intentional reference?
an alternative to the two unhealthy ways to live i mentioned above would be to focus on the important things in life... love, happiness, and helping those who are in need. if you make the happiness of your gf, (or when your older) wife, especially your kids, etc, your number one priority, the love they give you back will be very rewardingYup, sounds like my plans. Help as many people as possible and have a loving family Oh, and I can't say I wouldn't like some flying.
you are a memberBarely that :
doesn't seem to be enough good ones around help educate the little kiddies.If this is going to descend into a flame-war it will be deleted.
We are all brought up in society as unquestioning, unthinking system clones.Not everyone, and not everywhere. Western civilisation, perhaps.
Oh, this is a GREAT novel," "how prophetic," "THEY didn't want you to read it," etc., ad nauseum...From here
1984 IS a great book. It IS prophetic.
But it's a car alarm.
Considering the current social climate, one can't help but make that comparison.
Sure the car alarm is a nifty thing, but who's paying attention to it?
Exactly: no one.
Homeland Security, with its Total Information Awareness database, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which forbids treating with your own property as you wish, government-approved spying on consumers by corporations - foreign AND abroad - the GPS-capable black boxes installed in all new automobiles . . .
These things are happening because YOU are letting them. Those who would presume to select our leaders for us would spew its propaganda that gets more and more outrageous every day - and the public nods obediently, "habilitates" its thought processes and shakes its fists at those who "hate freedom."
Don't crow on about the impact this book has had - judging by the complete capitulation of the lemming-like mob mentality, it has failed its mission to motivate. The eternal price of freedom is vigilance, and those who unquestioningly swallow the Party's line, despite their perceived cleverness in finding a relation to Big Brother within our government, have fallen asleep on the job.
Shut up and go DO something - A N Y T H I N G but nothing.
PLAGIARISM: The act of taking someone else's ideas, words, or writing, and attempting to pass them off as your own.He was obviously not doing so as he linked to the original source. Learn what big words actually mean before you use them.
now just tell g-kid that these are not theories YOU came up with after studdying human behavior and tons of doccumented experiments... just tell him you're only repeating stuff you read at the kinds of sites i mentioned above so he can stop calling them "your" theories.I would like to see the fruits of your research into the subject. Are you not familiar with the spread of knowlege in academia? People do not actually spend years researching and then go "ah good" and forget about it, they share their findings and people can agree with them or have different opinions. Agreement does not mean plagiarism.
my god quit kissing assIf you were a real member you'd appreciate that G_KID is trying to avoid starting a flame war or some kinda feud in our community.
