 |
|
A guy called me this. I know the word, but figure he meant I'm easygoing or something. I would like to be a peaceful person. Underneath our thin veils however, I see violence quick to boil. Crazy. You cannot adopt a stance of peacefulness. Any stance adopted contains violence. Don't pose. It's artificial.
No, I'm not stoned, unfortunately.

| Look at our current situation with that camel f$cker over in Iraq. Pacifism is not something to hide behind. |

| I have no idea what "our current situation" means. Our human situation has never changed. We are violent and foolish, as we have always been and always will be. Nothing resolves what we are. We just aren't smart enough I guess. |

| Pacifism is a beautiful theory which does not blend very well with reality. |

I guess you've never watched the Big Lebowski. It's a direct quote, and it in no way relates to your original post. |

| I suppose part of my idea is that if you are an "---ist" of any sort of all, then you are being fake, or ignorant. |

What is PIFF?
Nope, no smoking illicit stuff here, although that is not something I would decline at the moment.
I'm asking good questions as well as I can. I figure some of you realize my ideas are worth consideration. |

I watched it ages ago, whenever, but details are sketchy. Perhaps it's worth another view. It did not impress me much then so I don't much care. |

| A pacifist is someone who gets peace by using his fists. |
