Do you find youself getting frustrated by the endless monotony of pacification and emasculation placed upon you by the state as you waddle along on their mouse wheel? Tired of being herded up their ramp to the slaughter, whilst being fooled to think you should be happy about it? Sick of carrying the load of your Gimp-mistress whilst being whipped into thanking her for it?

I am.

I am.

Not so much the state, but society in general is pissing me off right now... God that makes me sound like a twat.

Just out of curiosity, what is emasculating you?

Personally, it's the irrationality and falseness of humankind that bothers me.

pretty much, yeah. although i have a scheme to extricate myself from this diabollical and ridiculously protracted social experiment, i just need to work out the logistics of it.

Just out of curiosity, what is emasculating you?Indirectly, the state. I am sick of playing into their game. The entire construct (The government-as seperate from the state-, society-as influenced and herded by the state-, and the economy -as throttled and manipulated by the state-) is keyed towards keeping them on top, and I am the one who does them this favour in silence. This is where the emasculation kicks in. For, thanks to the brilliance of their construct, there is not a thing I can do. Whats worse, and insufferably patronising, is they expect that I would not even reailise what is going one.

But what to do but bitch on an anonymous internet forum?

I'll tell you something that irks me: a person using extensive vocabulary for the sake of making their angry rant sound intelligent and worthy of listening to.

Kyronea...ditto.

And no, I don't feel emasculated or detittified or whatever.

And if you don't want to be a sub, you shouldn't have a gimp-mistress in the first place.

I am.
Why let it bother you though? Sure, I dislike it, but I do not let it affect me emotionally.

See, this is where we differ, I would have said "An insufferable little shit indulging in his own verbosity for the self-gratifying end of making his empty rant seem somehow insightful". Just my way, I guess.

Sort of, but "the state" is far too narrow a conception of the culprit.

i don't think there was anything particularly extravagant about the language in the OP. my post above may have been, but then i enjoy exercising my vocabulary and will make no apology for it. a forum such as this provides a perfectly suitable arena for it. take your misplaced anti-intellectualism elsewhere.

Nicely said.

Just some advice: when attempting to make use of highbrow vocabulary, it really helps not to misspell words like diabolical. :p

Anti-intellectualism is believing that thumbing madly through your thesaurus to increase your total syllable usage actually makes you an intellectual.

It looks to me that "monotony", "pacification", and "emasculation" were the most obscure words in that post, and if those are stretching your vocabulary you need to read more.

Agreed.

Are the breasts where women locate the centre of their femininity? Shouldn't it be the ovaries.. or .. where is estrogen produced? Or, more than that, does femininity represent the same thing as masculinity, and if not, would the bereaving of such render the same effect?

Ah, the english language.

Eh, shit's not that bad. Just do what I do: kick back, open a cold one and relax for a while.

Hmm? Oh, no, those weren't a stretch of my vocabulary at all. It's just that I saw his rant for what it was: an angry rant that doesn't concern me one bit. As such, I felt that his using any decent vocabulary at all was an attempt to make his rant look much more attractive.

Anti-intellectual? I am no anti-intellectual, and I find it highly offensive that you believe I am.

Frankly, I'm a little creeped out, because it is clear that the OP is engaging in an excess of loquaciousness as a means of pleasuring himself. And he's involved us all in it. *retches*

Hmm? Oh, no, those weren't a stretch of my vocabulary at all. It's just that I saw his rant for what it was: an angry rant that doesn't concern me one bit. And yet you went along and concerned yourself with it? As such, I felt that his using any decent vocabulary at all was an attempt to make his rant look much more attractive. Or perhaps this is how I always write/speak, take a look for yourself. If you are impressed by this, I am unimpressed by your bar of what is 'decent'.

Anti-intellectual? I am no anti-intellectual, and I find it highly offensive that you believe I am.Again with the getting concerned when you don't have to. You really need to learn how to let things go. After all, what motivation do you have to take ownership of every problem you can find?

Ah ha. I understand now. You are not Xisla. You are Sinhue. (Jolt logged me out and I read your sig). See, this is what happens when you get your identities confused; you end up handing out undeserved levels of tolerance and respect. I could have been ignoring you and your whining for days now! :P

Plus, you would have totally missed that Singaporean joke a few posts back :$

...you know what? I was only trying to find some way of dismissing the rant! I am not a witty person by any extent. I couldn't crack a joke a la Lunatic Goofballs, so I pointed out the one thing I knew I could: the vocabulary! Argh.

Bah. You're right. I'm letting this bug me too much. I guess it's just an example of how I've nothing else to do right now.

Good, you finally figured out what I flat out told you a while back. I'm not your friend.

And I've been dismissing your whining since you began.

Ok, cool. Glad we cleared that up. Terribly sorry about the mix up, all of that peacemongering must have been irritating from a person you flat out don't like.

I think Xisla is Zeek-something...

Ok, cool. Glad we cleared that up. Terribly sorry about the mix up, all of that peacemongering must have been irritating from a person you flat out don't like. Yes. It made my irrational dislike of you swell, and I found myself gnawing on wood just to manage the stress. I'll be sending you a dental bill.

pish. i don't take kindly to people denigrating my desire to learn. the best way to learn is through use of the things you discover. there is not a hell of a lot that is good about the english language, but the one thing i like about it is the huge variety of words that can be used to express oneself. i don't think there is any good reason not to use those words when attempting to convey a nuanced meaning or when wishing to be absolutely clear of ones intentions. of course, it's a learning curve involving a lot more than consulting an encyclopaedia i can assure you. if you don't know a word that you read in a book, or perhaps in a forum post (i've had to consult a dictionary several times while reading other's posts on here), then look it up and improve you ability to express yourself. i don't suppose for a moment that i've used any words you do not know, but what is the point of challenging someone for using an extended vocabulary? especially since the OP didn't. he used rather expressive imagery certainly, but not unnecessarily so.

I hate feeling apathetic.
Listening to Zeromancer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egEecuxp3s0&mode=related&search=) helps get you into it. :p Considerably (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWAcq5IWpI0). :)

No, not really.

I just like poking fun at people who seem to have to put effort into expanding their vocabulary. It's not supposed to be work.

I just like poking fun at people who seem to have to put effort into expanding their vocabulary. It's not supposed to be work.After just under a week of my shit since my return to posting from the vast and empty realm of lurksville, (especially given the 'special' nature of our interactions :) ), you should know that this is simply how I like to communicate. No effort, just my way.

Yeah, but sometimes we all need a break from worrying about things.

Actually, I was referring to Infinate Revolution who in fact seems to put effort into it. You, I like to make fun of just because. Don't ask me why. It just is.

We should totally have hate sex and get over it. *retches some more*

well i don't put as much effort in as you seem to imagine. i do consult a dictionary when reading other's posts if i don't know a word and wish to respond, but i don't consider posting here important enough to trawl through a thesaurus to find just the right word. i'd do that for essays with a tight word limit, not here. the most i'd do here is to look up the exact definition of a word i was already planning to use if i wasn't entirely sure it was usable in the context of what i was saying. most of my vocabulary comes from having my head stuck in a book ever since i learned to read. that it is not as extensive or certain as it might be is probably down to the fact i have a brain like a sieve and the attention span of whatever has a short attention span since some bloody know-it-all scientist decided to prove goldfish have a longer attention span than previously thought.

yeh, i've always had trouble being concise. perhaps a desire to get across exactly what i'm trying to say without any room for questions. rarely works, as shown in this thread :p
