well this is my karma post

Green anarchism is pretty good on the environmental part and I do like the idea of small eco-villages. For a anarchic idea, mind, it sounds a little democratic. I think small committees are much better than one big leader (I'm looking at you Bush, Brown etc.) because it's more of a personal government, not just one person guessing what the country wants and going against it.

I never really did get into the whole anarchy thing, I may be a rather huge levellers fan, but the kind of anarchy wanted in the 70s by the punks was very much centred around the thought of antinomanism (sp), which couldn't work. If mutual respect could be given to one philosophy, then anarchism could work. For the moment I won't be spray painting any circled As

I don't think a dictatorship could ever work, I could never trust one person with power. In my experience you give someone a sniff of power and it goes to their heads. They stop thinking of other people, they only think of themselves and what THEy want, not what the people want. There have been some good leaders in times gone by, hence why we call them leaders and not dictators. I don't think its viable to believe there could ever be a benevolent dictator, they would come against too much opposition from the people who do not like love and charity, and it would probably end in a very messy riot. It's why situation ethics, my favourite philosophy, could never work, we're all programmed to love, but not everyone to the same degree.

 

Do two wrongs ever make a right? (e.g. beating up the guy who's sleeping with your wife)
What would you do with £1 million?

 

Do two wrongs ever make a right? (e.g. beating up the guy who's sleeping with your wife)
Ahaha, are you implying that I have a wife? Joking. No I believe in forgive and forget, Well depending on the situation but if my future husband/partner/boyfriend was sleeping with another girl I'd tell them where they should be sharpish!! I don't know, I suppose it comes down to karma at the end of the day, and I'm not sure whether doing a wrong balances the karma or just deepens the bad karma.

What would you do with £1 million?
First of all pay off all my family's bills and go to university. Then I'd put it directly into charitable projects and personally set up a commune somewhere, living simply. I don't really need much, well I suppose a few festival tickets wouldn't go amiss!

 

Festival tickets never go amiss if it was the 70s I'd follow the Dead round on tour buying acid for everyone in sight!

 

Yup, I'd have to join you on that one! (considering the strange fluke that we both had a million pounds haha)

 

Well, if I won the lottery I'd give ya a million
if the prize wasn't just a million, that is

 

I don't need a million pounds, all I need is happiness and health at the end of the day. Nice to have money in the bank mind.

 

Nope, money can't buy happiness. but you can rent it for a few weeks
Ultimately money is the root of material desire, and material desire leads to suffering, jealousy, hatred, all that bad stuff.
All you need is peace, love, and acid :tongue:

 

Yup, certainly do. Hope I can buy some at shambala, not a hope in hell of getting it round here.

 

Well hopefully.. dropping at Shambala would be nice!
If I had enough money I'd go to Burning Man.. there's so much drugs there it's unbelievable!

 

Oh, just thought of another question:
Do you think drugs should be legalised? f so, all of them or just some?

 

I think that would honestly take the value out of them. I mean, if weed was legal, as is so debated, there would be no novelty in a lot of people smoking it. Maybe that would be a good thing, but it doesn't make too much difference to me whether it's legal or not. I have sat and wondered why drugs are illegal before though, we had great drug education lessons, I know what every drug looks like and what it does!

 

Huh, don't be too sure! Drug lessons in school are mostly propaganda.
true or false:
1. Acid is stored in your spine
2. You get flashbacks years later after taking acid
3. One shot of heroin and you're addicted
4. acid eats holes in your brain
5. Weed permanently lowers your IQ
(hint: all false)
... Apologies, fascist propaganda just riles me up.

 

Seriously it was pretty good, the teacher went to Christ's hospital and had taken a fair few in his time! Ignoring the side-effects, it actually told you the effects of drugs, so therefore making you much more likely to go out and try them. If I could be bothered to go into hitchin on a Friday night and blended in with the emos, I could probably get some weed, but as far as I know that's the only thing the dealers seem to have around there.

 

Hmm, not bad - ours was all the usual "drugs are bad mmkay" bullshit they try and force on you.
I busted out scientific studies about cannabis, acid, etc basically left the bitch speechless

 

Haha, good times. I think its so funny that 8 out of 12 politicians on the cabinet had smoked cannabis!

 

Well, didn't know that!
Anyway back to questions:
- At what age (if any) would you want kids? How many?
- Names?

 

I think I'd want to be in my mid to late 20s when I have my first kid. I don't know how many I want, more than one preferably, possibly 2 or 3.
I have a huge list of names!
Indigo (girl or boy)
Willow (girl)
sorrel (boy)
Miles (boy)
Cora (girl)
Freedom (either)
Menai (Girl)
Morven (means girl of the sea)
Autumn (boy)
Gonna give them boring middle names though, I mean, my middle names Jean!

 

But then if you give 'em a boring middle name, they'll either hate you for their first name or hate you for their middle name! Go with two interesting names. Wish I'd been called something more interesting..

 

. Double post.
