I don't know what it is.... I'm not a revolutionist type, i.e i'm not far left but quite moderate and I am comfortable with my lifestyle.

However part of me just desperately wants a revolution, a huge change. Things need to change, I don't know what and I don't know how. I just don't think we can keep on going on like this, whatever 'this' is?

Does anyone else feel the same way? Or am I crazy?

You know you asked for this:

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

You know you asked for this:

I did?

I did?

Well, in the OP, "you say you want a revolution" so I figured ...

Right now I just want it to stop being dark at 4:45 in the afternoon.

Sorry but I need more answers, that song does not satisfy me ;)

If you don't know what and how, there's no need for a revolution, to be honest.

And I think it's probably just you being subconsciously worried about a part of your personality or somesuch. I dunno that you're crazy, mind. Just bored.

Well I know that society sucks at the moment.

yes, unless the democrats can make some major changes the peopel will reach the breaking point. increase of the national debt, tax cuts for the rich, job outsourcing, at some point the american people will reach the point at which they can take no more and revolt. :eek: :mp5:

Ummm... do something different.

All I can say. *eats more chocolate chip cookies and plans second honeymoon w/ polygamist sect*

Yeah that would help but thats only short term. Maybe I should organize an NSG revolution to keep me satisfied for a while. The qestion is, what would the demands be?

For MTAE to be sent some place far,far away.
As for actual serious stuff,I have no idea.

Here's one, MTAE should be made to stay in the forum and compose weird and wonderful troll-threads for our amusement.

MTAE has was banned for 2 weeks so he made a public resignation and is with a puppet and is already gone, did you not see?

...Like some sort of slave-troll....immune from the moderators!
Scrap my point.Your's is far more entertaining.I just had images of him running in some wilderness with a hungry big cat chasing him.Then catching him.






*Dreams.*

If you could source that somehow I would be forever happy.

The chase thing is okay, as long as the cat brings him back to us, you know, like they do with mice and voles and birds.

I think his farewell thread was shut down by the Moderator HotRodia for being overly dramatic, or something. I think the Mods get a little caught up in themselves sometimes.

We could get him to do it over and over again.Bring him back,then let him run free again.This time with a different animal.

Anyone else think we're going too far into this?Or is horrifically torturing MTAE a fantasy for most people on here?

I missed it! :(
Well,I'm sure he'll be missed.And I think they just wanted rid of him once and for all,he was an egotistical moron.

Maybe a little too far.

He was full of himself but I don't think he was a moron. Those threads showed evidence of actual thought, unlike, for instance, Kohlstein's recent "Evolution is a myth". All he put up as an OP was "If you think we are descended from monkeys, let me know and I'll give you evidence that evolution is wrong." Or Soviestan's recent post-conversion threads where he goes to great lengths to defend Islam against non-existent attacks. No, MTAE worked on his stuff. At one point I thought he was taking issues from the Game and reworking them but they went beyond just that. So, if he really does stay away, I will miss him. I do want to shake some sense into him, though.

Oh I didn't mean moron as in stupid.I meant moron as in his ideas were moronic to me-"John Bolton is teh sex" and all that.He certainly wasn't stupid,that's for sure,he knew what he was talking about all the time.I saw Kohlstein's post,and couldn't stop laughing,and I've been on a few of Soviestan's posts and most of the time I don't dignify him with an answer because it tends to be about Jews of some description.

So here we are.
R.I.P. MTAE.
You will be missed in a really weird sort of way.

Amen.

It was shut down because MTAE was posting around a forum ban, a big no-no, even if you're doing it as a "goodbye, cruel world" kind of gesture. Charges of mod-bias didn't help matters either.

In my defense, I chose "the proletariat will suck the blood of the capitalist" assuming that we are speaking figuratively. Revolutions need not be violent. I would not support the violent overthrow of a democratic nation (socialist or capitalist), but I would try to help create the conditions for a peaceful revolution. Reformist socialist is not an option that is in the workers' best interests. We need a revolution. Not a revolution with guns, but a total reconstruction of society.

I do want to shake some sense into him, though.
In order to shake some sense into a person, that person has to be honest in the first place. MTAE, as far as I could tell, didn't actually believe the shit he spewed--he just liked the game. That's why I never bothered with him.

That's right, he did take the opportunity to go after the Mods. Threw in the word "liberal," too, his favorite curse-word.

I tried not to get too terribly incensed with him. Sometimes it was a struggle. His trollish nature was pretty obvious, though.

In general, I ignored him--put him on the actual ignore list at the end, which is rare for me. At first, I marveled--I still think his "Mark Foley equals Rosa Parks" opening post is a work of art--but the act got old really quick.

BTW, here's a way to find out which revolutionary (http://www.youthink.com/quiz.asp?action=take&quiz_id=768) you are. I'm Nelson Mandela, apparently.

He never did come up to the level of the Rosa Parks / Mark Foley thread, did he? Ah, well.

So, hmm ... what other NSG revolutionary demands could we make? Can't think of any right off.

I'm Margaret Sanger! Wow, and I thought I was being facetious.

I'm Che Guevara! Yay!

Ditto.

:D

EDIT: NSG revolution would create a referendum on any Moderator decision *nods*

Ummm... do something different.

All I can say. *eats more chocolate chip cookies and plans second honeymoon w/ polygamist sect*

I would suggest sunny Florida.

Much as you want to be revolutionary deep down, I want to be counter-revolutionary. It's a facet of all of our personalities, a desire to represent the most aggressive and extreme facets of ourselves, in one all-defining struggle, one way or another.

Spartacus, apparently.

I'd much rather be Pompey or Crassus though. Or even better, Octavion.

Witless Consumer.

Good. All of the other answers were useless anyway. There's nothing revolutionary about revolution.

Well, in the OP, "you say you want a revolution" so I figured ...

It gets dark an hour earlier than that here.

To the OP, how old are you?

I would support a revolution.

Time for more song lyrics. Revolution all the way!

For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I'm tired of all this bullshit
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam

They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

You know you asked for this:

That was spooky.....I was listening to that song just before I went on to the thread :eek:
