Thug in, thug out.

I get what that's saying, you take on the values of those around you, so even if you still look pure, you'll be corrupted by corrupt company. It's a bad example though, because doves are lovely retarded birds and crows are cool and smart, being corvids. They're not the smartest or coolest corvids, but that rat with wings is in good company.

Uh, this is what you talk about with people sometimes yeah. Especially if you've known them for a while and are in the mood for it or have just met them and you are both drunk/high and probably want to gently caress one another but not like, a bunch.

If you want to take the 50/50 shot that you'll use it to kill yourself in order to avoid the 1/1,000,000 shot that you'll use it to defend a home invasion that should be your choice as a stupid American.

Nah, topping yourself off is a personal choice. Having sad/brokebrains and capping a dozen people on the way out when your access to such an effective method of violence could have withheld from you instead is bad. Not foolproof, you can always go illegal, but maybe if Walmart and Bass Pro couldn't legally sell longarms and pistols to paranoid schizophrenics and bipolar assholes, that'd be slightly better.

Languages traditionally change much more rapidly in urban areas versus rural ones. For example, Colonial American backwoods dudes spoke English much closer to the Shakespearean accent than Londoners during the same time period. A lot of the rhymes in Shakespeare's stuff don't work any longer in the stuffy "traditional" accent his works are performed in because the British accent has drifted so much over time. There's a few troupes dedicated to trying to reconstruct the proper accent for performances, so that's cool.

The same goes for slang and neologisms, etc. In areas of dense population, those can develop, take hold, spread and then fall out of favor rapidly. By the time a slang term is old news in the city, it might just be starting to creep in on the periphery of the rural lexicon.

With giant internet communities being connected and able to instantly message and respond to individuals, there's essentially very high density pockets where language is being pressure-cooked before being flung out into the general population.

Soon we will all speak like moon people and movies from the 1980s will be nearly culturally and linguistically unintelligible to kids born in the 2080s.

"Those civilians stuck in Syria waiting to get hit by a stray bomb or gunned down by soldiers would be happy if only they realized that it's not the situation that hurts them but, like, the negative way they think about their situation"

It's true if you think about it.

They could just learn to love the screams and the smell of petrol, tires and corpse mingling in a blaze, as if it were an offering of incense and blood to a god who actually listened to prayers. There's a sublime beauty in the arcs that shards of skull trace as a bullet passes through as if an eleven year-old boy's head was not there. The spiraling bullet itself is an unthinking artist, painting a masterpiece in the priceless medium of lifeblood.

One might embrace the wondrous complexity of the universe that put them in this situation, where they can witness firsthand the technological marvels of man's ingenuity and meditate on the absurd humor in the fact the millennia of wisdom
, sweat, and blood was wasted on designing a slightly better stick, so one man might kill another who has not even done him harm. As hot brass casings rain on the cooling corpses of their families, the refugees would be able to laugh heartily at the joke.

Discovering the truth that the universe is inherently meaningless and that there is no life after death would free the refugees from their fears concerning the hereafter, allowing them to truly live in this moment. They will know that when the end comes and the pain fades, all struggles and hardships will be forgotten in the eternal, silent embrace of the annihilation of the self.

It was also the "loco weed" that made Mexicans hulk out and lust after our white women. Mormon missionaries brought the spliff back to Utah with them from mission trips to Mexico, which sparked off a whole moral panic on its own, complete with campaigns to ban the vile substance.

Is Hugh Macleod a noted imbecile, or is that just a bad quote?


E:

He runs something called Gaping Void and here's his bio:

hugh-outside-bw2
Hugh MacLeod
Co-Founder and Artistic Director

Hugh MacLeod has been drawing about life and business for over twenty years. At the heart of Hugh’s work is one core belief: art has the power to transform business. Art expresses ideas, vision, beliefs, culture and purpose faster, better and more deeply than any other method of business communication.
Founded in 2008 with business partner Jason Korman, Gapingvoid Ltd. has created custom art work for some of the largest, companies in the world, including Intel, HP, Microsoft, Roche, Zappos, VMWare and VW- and is hung in over 5,000 companies around the world. A special collection of MacLeod’s art, arranged around themes of entrepreneurship, appeared during Art Basel 2013 here in Miami. Gapingvoid takes a unique approach to business communications. Including events, permanent corporate art installations, and outcome focused custom art implementation to help with behavior change in large organizations.
Art, particularly cartoons, are perfect for conveying the root of an idea in a way that starts dialogue between the right people. MacLeod harnesses this power of art in a way that helps businesses confront tough problems, parses complex human relationships and engages employees to collaborate on solutions together. Mission, purpose and meaning are the cornerstones of the message behind his art.
MacLeod is a highly-regarded author, writing on the themes of innovation, creativity and motivation. His book “Ignore Everybody” began life on his popular marketing blog, gapingvoid.com, as an e-book. It was downloaded over 5 million times since being posted and enjoyed by readers all over the world. Re-imagined in print form, the book “Ignore Everybody” made the Wall Street Journal’s best sellers list. His follow-up book, “Evil Plans: Having Fun on the Road to World Domination” was equally well-received and hailed by Seth Godin as a must-read.


So, noted imbecile
