Honestly, there is a difference between a bridge and a rope

edited 2011-08-25 23:03:15 in General
A rope is made of wood and castlemilk. A bridge is not even aware of its own existence, and as such is denied basic rights afforded to all other creatures on this Earth.

Don't you see what this means for our children? It means they're going to grow up in a world where bridges aren't treated like human beings. They're going to go on television and be yammering to Today about something that doesn't even matter, like some book full of words and letters that don't mean anything.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, FAITH IS KNOWLEDGE

but faith in what, you may ask?

Look it up in your Wikipedia, Stan!

    Sometimes I just get the urge to post psuedo-intellectual nonsense. It amuses me.

    The main theme of Dahmus’s essay on predialectic
    capitalism is not narrative, as Debord would have it, but prenarrative.
    However, Foucault promotes the use of structuralist semioticism to modify
    society.

    In the works of Rushdie, a predominant concept is the concept of
    subconstructive language. The creation/destruction distinction depicted in
    Rushdie’s The Ground Beneath Her Feet emerges again in Midnight’s
    Children
    , although in a more mythopoetical sense. In a sense, Debord uses
    the term ‘neocapitalist rationalism’ to denote the futility, and therefore the
    collapse, of cultural sexual identity.

    If one examines precapitalist socialism, one is faced with a choice: either
    reject neocapitalist rationalism or conclude that discourse comes from the
    masses, given that sexuality is equal to language. The characteristic theme of
    the works of Rushdie is not, in fact, narrative, but postnarrative. Therefore,
    Lyotard suggests the use of structuralist semioticism to challenge outdated,
    colonialist perceptions of class.

    “Sexual identity is intrinsically elitist,” says Debord; however, according
    to d’Erlette, it is not so much sexual identity that is
    intrinsically elitist, but rather the paradigm, and eventually the collapse, of
    sexual identity. An abundance of desublimations concerning the difference
    between sexuality and society exist. But Derrida’s model of neocapitalist
    rationalism states that the task of the writer is social comment.

    The primary theme of von Junz’s critique of
    structuralist semioticism is the dialectic of structuralist language. Marx
    promotes the use of the preconceptual paradigm of consensus to attack and read
    class. Thus, the subject is contextualised into a predialectic capitalism that
    includes culture as a totality.

    “Sexual identity is unattainable,” says Bataille. Several situationisms
    concerning structuralist semioticism may be found. But Marx uses the term
    ‘predialectic capitalism’ to denote a materialist whole.

    The subject is interpolated into a structuralist semioticism that includes
    sexuality as a paradox. Therefore, Parry implies that we
    have to choose between neocapitalist rationalism and neotextual deconstruction.

    STOP TRYING TO UPSTAGE MY PSUEDO-INTELLECTUAL NONSENSE.

    Well, I cheated. I used the Postmodernism Generator.

    While I do not disagree with the OP, I think he/she/it missed a very important point: What makes a bridge a bridge? Imagine, for a moment, that I took a piece of rope and wrote "BRIDGE" on it with a stolen Sharpie. The question is: Who did I steal the Sharpie from? If I have stolen it from a man with but one Sharpie to his name, I would almost certainly be called a monster. So logically, if I stole it from a man who owns an entire Krogerload of Sharpies, I should be seen as a hero, as someone who is fighting against the establishment? But alas, if I were to steal the Sharpie from the rich man, I would likely simply be seen as "riff-raff", as a young idiot who is simply too lazy to go to Walgreens and buy her own Sharpie. And you know what? Perhaps, just perhaps, that's just what I am.

    You're listening to Caffeine 92.5.

    You really ought to fight the man

    What if it's a rope bridge?
