Curb my agreement?

I have for quite some time found myself in agreement with Larry David’s character on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I just have some questions,

is this normal?

Is there something wrong with me?

Should I be worried?

I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m often excruciated by his behaviour and find myself at a loss to understand the reasoning behind it [particularly when he makes up horrible lies rather than be honest] having said that, I more often than not have the same reaction to other characters in the show. In any case I think a great number of the things that he does are perfectly reasonable and I get the feeling that most people would act in the same way were it not for the taboos of social convention.

Is this nothing more than a monstrous act of solipsism?

Am I simply trying to justify my agreement with this strange character by suggesting that really ‘you all think the same as me and you’re just to scared to say it’?

Racists use this sort of justification all the time, and I can assure you that I’m no racist. Having said that, this sort of solipsism is actually quite common, one sees it all that time, and its actually quite disturbing when you think of how many people must be using it to justify totally abhorrent behaviour and how many of them would not have allowed themselves to commit such abhorrent acts were it not for that justification.

This has gone rather off topic but then I can’t think of anything else to say on the topic, I do however find that writing this has been rather therapeutic, I find my fears and worries subsiding, besides I’m sure you all think the same thing anyway.

how to live a happier, longer, better looking life.

simply start drinking hard liquers such as wiskey or gin
and never stop. This for a start garantees no hangovers
and also means that before long you have pickled you're
entire body thus preserving you're youthfull good looks,
if you don't believe me just take a look at lemmy
from heavy metal legends Motorhead
he's been following this program for the last
thirty or so years or so and he hasn't changed at all
with the exception of those two warts.

p.s. this was a post that was lost recently for some reason,
those who were lucky enough to see the original
probably think its better than this new one
or maybe you don't?

please post some comments
i'm having blogger withdrawl symptoms.

previous post being deleted

I plan for this blog to be fully put over
to gauging public opinion on a variety of issues,
in order to make this work better
i would like to install some teem members,
all that i am asking is that you write
a brief essay about some thing that concerns you
and then post a blog poll about it,
what would be great is if i could get many
people with differing views on the world
and differing ideoligies so that things
will be presented as fully as possible
allso on my other blog
www.nouveaupostmablog.blogspot.com
i am interested into turning this into a proper
art and or political and or philosophical movement
and so i would need teem members for that allso,
just have a look at it and
contact me if you're interested in signing up
phillipgdmn@yahoo.co.uk.

i think that from now on i will
only comunicate with you
through posting polls

but currently no inspiration
to write them down
and many questions
and every inspiration to ask them.

the funniest quote i've seen recently is this
"If I say the cat is on the mat but behave asif the cat is not on the mat, or as if there is no cat, I am not a hyporcrite but a lier, a joker, or perhaps I have a very bad memory, or some other cognitive dysfunction"
its taken from a book called "the simpsons and philosophy".

Mind Body, Spirit.

On the matter of of spirit or rather the spiritual life
1 you have the right to follow what ever path you see fit regardless of how bizzare or offencive others may or may not find it.
2 you have the right to take offence at others spiritual or otherwise practices just as they have a right to take offence at you'res.
3 allthough you can take offence you can not do anything about it, they have the same rights as you.
4 if you do anything to stop them [the people who offend you] from following their beliefs or speaking their mind about you'res then you should be prevented from following or speaking you'res [beliefs and mind respectively]
5 if you break such an order you should be thrown in jail.

On the matter of you're body
1 you have the right to do to you're body as you please, you have the right to modify it, to poison it, to harm it and even to destroy as long as you do not harm anybody elses in the process.
2 nobody has the right to prevent you from doing these things.
3 if anybody attempts either by words or action to prevent you from doing to you're body as you please then whatever they prevented you from doing to you'res they should have done to theirs , if they continue then they should have theirs [their body] removed.

On the matter of mind
1 you do not have a mind you are the mind.
2 you have the right to express you're self any way you choose as long as it does not prevent others from doing the same.
3 no one has the right to stop you from expressing you're self if they do so attemt, then they should have whatever part of the brain that alows them to express themselves removed.

I was lying in bed last night [allthough some would consider it morning] listening in utter anoyance to all the little sounds that houses make the plip plops the gurglings the clicks and clunks and so on and so forth and i realised just how much i crave scilence total utter and complete scilence. It is strange to think that it used to be the other way about, i would as a child sleep over at freinds houses and would often find that i could not get to sleep because there were no trains going past, perhaps this was just a perfectly normal craving for the things that you are used to common to most children in the feelings of home sickness but perhaps not perhaps it is about having a fear of you're own thoughts of being left on you're own with them and nothing to distract you from them and perhaps my anoyance last night is proof that i have got over this weakness [or indeed weaknesses the two theorys i have just put forward are not after all mutually exlusive] but in any case what is beyond doubt i think is that i know for whatever reason crave scilence i either want sounds to exist in the forgraound or not atall.

Drinking advice.

If you think you're going to drink a large ammount of wine especialy if it will be done within a short space of time or indeed on an empty stomach a good way to combat this is to drink one bottle of beer before you start drinking the wine as this will cushion you're system do not however drink more than one bottle as anymore will ruin the flavour of the wine for you also do not drink any beer after the wine oi don't know why this but this will make you ill.
"beer and wine and you'll be fine but wine and beer and oh dear" as told to me by drunken friend.

If you have no use for something then give it to someone else, if you have a use for it then keep it you're self.
This means that if you have no use for something if you don't want to use it if you can't use or won't use or will not use it then give it way but if you have any intention of ever using it for anything atal then keep it.
This does not mean that their is allways someone worse of than you and that therefore it is greedy to keep anything that you're not using even if there is a good chance that you will use it in the future. If one were to hold fast to this concept then one might as well give away all of you're possesions because "theres allways someone who needs them more than you" the only problem with this is that you would instently become the person who needs them more and the person would instantly have to give them back at which p[oint the process would begin again, after doing this for a ten or eleven or so weeks you would both starve to death because giving to the less fortunate is more important than eating and the world will be hell of a lot better of without you.

internet constitusion

If the american dream is that you can come from nothing to having everything, then the internet dream is that even if you're stupid you can still have a valid opinion, one is rags to riches the other is dumb to opinionated.

statement 1: everybody has the right to have four walls between them and the world and a roof between them and the sky.

statement 2: this is a right not a privilage no one can be forcibly charged for it.

statement3: if you choose not to pay for the previously mentioned four walls and a roof then;
1 you can't choose where it is located you go where it is available, 2 you can't prevent others from sharing it with as long as their is enough room, and 3 if any repairs need to be made then you have to take care of them you're self.

statement 4: if you choose to rent then the responsibility for apkeep is on the sholders of the person that you rent from, however you cannot do as you like to the property without said persons permision.

statement 5: if you choose to own you're own property then you are responsible for its upkeep, however this means that you should be able to do as you like to the property, and do not have to share it with any bodyelse

statement6: you may think that these things are obvious but seeing as the ocupiers of a thirty year old squat in london have recently been evicted by the local council they are clearly not obvious enough.

hello all
I've recently found out that gary glitter may be put to death by the Vietnamese goverment on charges of child sex and frankly i don't care weather he's put to death or not it simply isn't my concern however what i do care about is this myth of statutary rape because it apsolutely demeans the idea of actual rape when someone of whatever age is actualy forced to have sex and if forcing someone to have sex is rape then what is it when you force them not to have sex!
