The tone of personal attack and dismissiveness started with you, and you know it. All I did was point out the fact that your rhetoric was not really designed to make anyone sympathetic towards your point of view, which I maintain to be true, and which you continue to make even more apparent with each post you make.

You didn't join me in your disdain of Chan's involvement with De Beers, instead you thought you try and be funny.

You're a vegetarian that cares about animal rights yet you have to be shamed into acknowledging your ignorance and apathy concering human rights abuses.

I see the two, like all things, as very related.

And you, like so many others, have the cart before the horse. You're not a realist as you described yourself earlier. What you keep demonstrating is that you are a deluded cause-and-effect Cartesian thinker.

Enjoy it now, because I'll be out of here for another week soon.

I haven't posted very much in the past two weeks and am finally staying away from this cesspool.

Savage Clone · 12.18.2006, 05:32 PM

Would I have used the phrase "conflict diamonds" if I had never looked into this stuff?
My vegetarianism is not primarily animal-rights oriented, but since you seem not to want to ask any questions before making personal remarks without foundation, I suppose you can say whatever you want if it suits your agenda. I also have never told anyone else they should be a vegetarian, nor do I wish to convert anyone into making a lifestyle choice they are not interested in making.

I don't know if these comments will even make sense after you do your customary 28 edits to your post, but I hope something will still come through.

You didn't "shame me into" anything. We simply happened to already be on the same side of the issue.

atari 2600 · 12.18.2006, 05:36 PM

You most likely did have such agreement all along, but you certainly didn't express such agreement right away. You had to be shamed. That is where we are now.

AND FINALLY

GOODBYE

Savage Clone · 12.18.2006, 05:39 PM

Yeah, that was definitely the last word.
O Atari!
Please forgive me.
Lowly, shameful, and ignorant that I am.
Your long shadow casts its reproachfulness and coldness upon me as you take your ball and go home.
How could I have remotely thought I could match wits with you?

That last part there goes without saying, so maybe I shouldn't have, but, as you can see, I stated it anyway.

How the fuck am I supposed to know that? We don't have 'De Beers' over here. You should just shut the fuck up before you make a fool of yourself again. Asshole.

atari 2600 · 12.18.2006, 06:34 PM

Please, haha write more.

Oh, but you do have De Beers, even in Liverpool. All the diamond dealers in your town (be they local businesses or chains) know that company quite well, I guarantee that. What? You think they have their own mines? Grow them on trees? What? haha

Established in the nineteenth century and based out of Johannesburg, South Africa, De Beers controls an estimated 60-80% of the diamond market worldwide.

Danny Himself · 12.18.2006, 06:42 PM

Do I look like a diamond dealer to you?

I don't even understand the gibberish you typed after that.

atari 2600 · 12.18.2006, 06:51 PM

Look man, I would cut you more slack, but you've always been such a pain in the ass.

Enjoy your hell.

It's like pulling teeth to get anyone to acknowledge anything resembling general agreement over anything here on this board that has anything remotely resembling real meaning, and it's just a pain, a huge fucking pain.

Go ahead, commence with your rabble babble about Lindsay Lohan's freckles, YouTube videos, random scatology, general self-loathing, the latest crap platter you bought, or whatever it is you people like to discuss.

...

Danny Himself · 12.18.2006, 07:41 PM

Pain in the ass? Come on. Don't be silly.

I too wish that the board could see some real discussions, but until everybody stops resorting to childish nonsense, it won't happen.

Norma J · 12.18.2006, 08:05 PM

My girlfriend loves Cat Power. But she doesn't know about any of this other crap. She just digs the music.

nomowish · 12.18.2006, 09:22 PM

She's in SoBe!!! How to approach her without coming across lame and fan-boyish? Maybe I should act like she's just some woman...

In other news: all of these Cat Power stories read the same

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 12.19.2006, 12:02 PM

i wonder if she was wasted @ bonnaroo

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 12.19.2006, 02:33 PM

does anyone have the Cat Stevens cover she does in the diamond commercial?

Those pieces were recorded after the India trip, which happened in 1966/67, I think in 1968.

I know exactly what you're talking about and you have it all wrong !! In the original lyrics to "Get back" john wrote some lyrics and i cant stress this enough from a SARCASTIC point of view. He was making fun of the way some elitist englishman were acting being racist in all.All those words you posted are from an alt version of get back.John discussed the lyrics with paul and they both felt the lyrics might be miscontrued as actually racist instead of being sarcastic so they didn't publish it. You prove their point exactly being an idiot fan who misinterpreted the lyrics. Furthermore John loved chuck berry and littel richard so don't be throwing around heavy words like "racist" when you don't know all the information.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to finding nobody again.
