the gun thread is very different

Thats the thing, i actually have a gun but some of the attitudes in that tv thread towards non-tv owners I was quite taken aback by. I've never thought that way about non-gun owners, I think its a fair enough lifestyle choice to go without!
― cog, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 05:30 (ten years ago) link
its not towards non-tv owners it's to owners of the attitude of not owning a tv

its a lifestyle not a lack
i meant the attitude of non gun-owners but i do see where you are coming from
― cog, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 05:38 (ten years ago) link
i dont even know where i'm coming from i only know that i am against the proposition as stated

If you own a gun and you don't own a tv, you'll have to explain what you're plotting.

People are really weird. Some people believe that not having something is an inherently aggressive action, like people are actually "not owning a thing *AT* them".
I would never have thought that a joke thread was worthy of 400+ posts worth of discussion, but I guess some people do. *gr8080 shrug*
― Branwell Bell, Wednesday, 2 April 2014 07:08 (ten years ago) link
If I'd started a joke thread that somehow turned into a long conversation about art, class, technology, social etiquette and the politics of taste I'd be pretty happy tbh

i just want to make sure i'm understanding this summary correctly: people are discussing gun ownership in the "i dont even own a tv" thread?
― °ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 15:34 (ten years ago) link
Some people believe that not having something is an inherently aggressive action
Some people perceive other people not owning something as an implied slight on them for owning that thing

at this point "i don't even own a tv" just means "i own a laptop" right?

yeah no way I go near that thread but it's interesting how it means something different now than it did 20 years ago

way back in like 1995 we got to do screenprinting in art class this classmate of mine made a t-shirt that was a campy 50's clip-art illustration of two kids laying on the ground, theier heads propped up by their hands, looking at an old television set that had the iconic big brother face on the screen with the caption:
YOU ARE WACTHINGBIG BROTHER
bummed i never got one, it was a great design

is ilx the only online place tho where the theism argument is well-represented? i feel like other internet enclaves are pretty predominately atheism bros or evangelical style echo chambers?

oh, surely reddit has many forums where one may seek for a calmly reasoned, non-fundamentalist defense of theism [/facetious]

Sanatana Dharma handles that all quite gracefully -- you can have your cake and eat it too. Ishwara for the theistically-inclined, and then the formless Brahman for those moments when you want to get real
― dell (del), Thursday, 3 April 2014 01:41 (ten years ago) link
at least one sage compared our lives to a slide show that Ishwara selects from our storehouse of karma, which I think is so funny on some levels -- our life is like the travelogue that you bore the neighbors with, or your Facebook friends with
