The Death of a Blog

It will not be much mourned, but it is gone and will not return. It wasn't very good, but it was there and is no longer. So i must remove it from my links, good bye blog.

Hard Work for Nothing

This is the year 2005 A.D. 5,000 years ago our ancestors began the "o'l nine-to-five" and we have continued every since. Why? Why must we work so hard?

So much progress has been made that has radically increased the standard of living, but has led to almost no decrease in the time spent working by all classes of society. This does not seem right. Surely we should be resting on our laurels. Surely we should all go into semi-retirement and slow progress so we can be lazy for a while. Why all this hard work?

But human society has developed around progress and striving for exellence. Unfortunately, it lookes like it'll stay that way. The major problem is that humans don't know what to do with free time. Even though we've become so intelligent and elightened, we just can't handle free time. That's why Rome collapsed. The slaves were doing all the work and the upper classes got lazy and pleasure seeking. Since humans can't control our base instincts, we have to work hard to prevent them from having the chance to appear.

So our standard of living will increase, but what good it the good life if you can't enjoy it?

Philosophy or die!

The Split

I'm dividing this blog into two, sort of. The political aspect of the blog is being moved here

Now in this blog i'm going to try to live up to the blog's name somehow, plus the occasionally post about the english language.

test 2

…

a stream of consciousness

Andy: i stil need an idea for a post, something original
Ben: umm
hm original... how about on the effect of a belief of a fake liberal media bias on politically middle americans
Andy: you know, sometimes i don't know whats true anymore
cause now its seems like people can get away with out right lies
it used to be you had to bend the truth
that you could have statistics that were correct, but...
and now it seems like anything goes
and both sides say the other is lying all the time, and there's never any proof because the worlds so complicated
but both sides see proof everywhere
and they both say their hypocrites
Ben: i don´t think there is bias either way
for the most part
some papers or new channels obviously lean one way or another
but i think reporting has gotten lazy
Andy: did you just ignore my entire speech?
Ben: and is thus more prone to show these
no im not
Andy: yeah, i agree rpeorters arelazyier
Ben: i know people are gonna say oh its liberal or oh its conservative but also you have to remember thats how papers were to began
papers began as insturments to get certain beliefs spread
it wasn´t until recently that we demaned non biased news
Andy: well, what it was was the invention of investigative reporting, which is now dead
i the main reason is because of corporate pressure and the consolidation of the media
Ben: no way!!! it is not dead why just yesterday I saw ¨Thirty things in your kitchen that could kill you, and the one you would NEVER guess!!!¨
Andy: i think what i'll do is just copy this convo and post it as a post in my blog
which one?
Ben: haha
the plastic spoon
Andy: if you burn plastic it releases fumes that people can get high off of
so it is very dangerous, yes
Ben: hahaha
Andy: and the spoon, truly an instrument of destruction... copy.... paste... woot
