This is some truly weird shitSubmitted by Prometheus 6 on July 15, 2005 - 3:42am.
on Open thread | Random rant | Tech When I check my referral logs, I'm really likely to backtrack a search engine link. Just curious. Early this morning I got a query from Google Australia on a single word: nigga. I was like, my GHOD, how far down did he have to tunnel to get to P6? I myself rarely get past the third page of a search. Turns out it was the tenth listing. On Google USA it's the eleventh. Believe it or not, I come up first in a search for "nice thought" (though I pity the innocent that clicks the link...). And ninth for "dark evil." I even get a shot at being seen in a search for "james c. dobson"...I'm listed on the third page of the search. All as of this writing, of course. I found one search—for "Bush president nipple"—truly disturbing...who would search for such a thing? I was pleased there were 29 entries ahead of mine but a person who searched for "Bush president nipple" would up on my site. My monitor feels a little tacky now when I visit that page... Oh, this is an open thread.
I like that one. If you haven't tried this already, google the phrase "miserable failure" and check out the first result. I like that one. thought you would :)
miserable failure (tehe) awesome. more links: Urban Legends | A Miserable Failure | Google's (and Inktomi's) Miserable Failure | Miserable failure @ Wikipedia do you think google bombing is a terrorist act? Did anything explode? Quote: Middle-class blacks are moving into formerly all-white neighborhoods, buying homes with swimming pools, hiring maids and putting their children in private schools, just like their white neighbors.
At the same time, poorly educated whites--once first in line for government jobs under apartheid--are joining the lines of black beggars at traffic lights and moving into black townships such as Soweto, which are more affordable. I linkified your text. Hope you don't mind...the URL was quite descriptive. Oh. My heart bleeds for them. Hope you don't mind. You put it the way it should have been. Thanks.
seems part of the process of breaking the color barrier moves lower-income, regardless of color, to the bottom. during the 2004 US elections a brown person said to me, "to the poor it doesn't matter who gets elected". i've been contemplating the difference between a constitutional democracy vs. a capitalist democracy lately. i certainly can relate to Afrikaners with ties to no other countries. when folks here say, go back to Africa i know there's nowhere to go back to because Africa isn't "home". today we have celebrity blacks, justice blacks, gay blacks, rich blacks, geeky blacks, hip-hop blacks & can't-dance-worth-a-lick blacks. we are republican & democrat, rich & poor. guess what? white people can use that race card too. i have a white step-mother & one of my students is white with a black step-father. some whites are certainly "blacker" than i am — my neice told me the other day "I'm White" not causing a single blip to appear on my Color RadarTM. is it time for all blacks (you know who you are) to come together with all that we've learned & achieved & consider the next step? gee. i sure hope so. i have seven nieces & still can't manage to spell that right. You can edit your comments, you know. People here are straight-up enough not to alter the meaning of what they wrote after they get a response, so I let you registered folk do that. i've been contemplating the difference between a constitutional democracy vs. a capitalist democracy lately. Can you describe your idea of a capitalist democracy, NA?
You can edit your comments, you know. ah. i see the Edit button now. but it doesn't always show up on all my comments. i will be straight-up when editing. :)
Can you describe your idea of a capitalist democracy, NA? i think it's what we have now. just wish we were more honest about it. in a nutshell, i think CD protects the rights of companies to pursue open markets domestically & internationally. labor (or individual rights) do not hamper the ability of companies to operate effectively. however, we'd award companies that set aside profits toward education, health care, etc. in essence, coporations are the framework to secure individual rights.
I'd call what we have a corporate democracy, where "legal persons" have all the rights (and far more money) of an actual person. corporate democracy. i'd agree with you. i did a search on corporate democracy on your site & saw (and read) a lot of interesting posts. would you point to one or two posts that best outline your thoughts about this? especially in the political arena. i think CD protects the rights of companies to pursue open markets domestically & internationally. So far so good, though, eh? It's pretty well been shown that lack of competition results in high prices and shoddy, stagnant products. Fair competition is a good thing for all but the very few who sell those shoddy, stagnant products. we'd award companies that set aside profits toward education, health care You and I would do such awarding?
ah, DW, i was only trying to put a positive spin on CD. trying really really hard & not demonize it since it's here to stay. i'm willing to get jiggy with CD to make sure (in this terror-ridden atmosphere) that police & marines have body armor that really acts like, well, body armor. okok, so there are still some wee small holes in my thinking. You've stirred thing up in a friendly way NA, and that's good. Observe that any kind of democracy is a scary thing. People vote their interests. On paper, that means democracy simply doesn't work, because 51% of the voters are going to vote to give themselves all the assets of the 49%. Hell, they might vote to execute the 49%, so that they won't be able to make a political comeback.
Geez, what a Republican thought. You know, I don't have a post that sums up my thoughts on corporate democracy. Maybe I'll whip something up... Geez, what a Republican thought. i was watching a documentary the other day about those white-folks-who-shall-not-be-named and heard them use: "ethnic cleansing". look forward to your CD thoughts. You've stirred thing up in a friendly way NA, and that's good. i'm still learning the art of demonizing something vs. telling the truth. 51% vs 49%? you summed things up nicely. political comeback. watching the president with australian prime minister today thought i imagined a signficant pause after ... "I am looking forward to working with him in his fourth term in office". always thought this administration was capable of getting that 2-term rule overturned.
i'm still learning the art of demonizing something vs. telling the truth. Successful demonization involves avoiding the common trap: ugly hostility. Bill Cosby is the best demonizer we'll ever observe. Check out his act. He doesn't just rant, you never suspect that foam is about to appear around his lips. He upsets those who disagree with him because he's so much harder to ignore.
