i would say ows has raised the awareness of the increased inequality, consumerism, and materialism that continue to ruin the world's societies

I agree, although on this forum there has so far been IMO too little discussion on the need to change our collective VALUES. We continue to be bombarded daily by advertising which misleads us into thinking that THINGS make PEOPLE happy.

If we could finally CLEAN UP this troll-infested forum and make it usable gain, we would have the leisure to discuss more in depth the important points that you mention, such as consumerism and materialism..

the trolls will always be among ye, i think jesus said that.

You must be joking about Jesus. He said "there will always be the poor among you".

Anyway, this has nothing to do with Jesus, it's about applying the RULES that we have against TROLLING on this forum.

The only reason I can imagine that this is allowed to go on here is that the owners of this forum want it to. I strongly recommend, especially to you, Tiouaise, to give your input at themultitude.org. I still post on this site, but themultitude is moderated well enough that serious topics can actually be addressed in a civilized environment.

jesus also said "internet rules are unenforceable"

i think he also said "worry ye not about the trolls; worry about your dam self"

if it walks like a rat and talks like a rat, its probably a rat

(jesus said that about you)

many of my friends are trolls, i dont like you speaking down about them. not too many worthy trolls on here tho. hardly anyone on this bitch ever makes me laugh.

here's best troll post i have heard in a while, from reddit:

Q. my mother passed away recently, how do i comfort my father?

A. some people say that it is best to forget the past, but this is just bullshit. you should do things that remind him of your mother and the times they spent together.

you should start by fucking all his friends, and telling your father how much better they are in the sack than he is. then remind him what a mistake it was marrying him, and how amazing your life was before he crushed your dreams. finish off by burning his dinner and crying about how his children ruined your figure. this may seem like a lot of work, but it will be worth it to see the gleam in your father's eyes as he slaps you and drunkenly calls you a worthless whore. just like he did with your mom.

p.s i'm going to hell for laughing so hard at this...

I just asked a question. Still waiting for an answer besides the first answer

[-] 1 points by buik2 (66) 12 years ago

all the answers will stem from what i said, basically. but we are not at that point i dont think. this increased awareness will eventually find its way into public/ corporate policy, social mores, etc., but no change is possible without a mass shift in awareness.

its a process, man. it takes years.

we got years : )
