View Full Version : REALITY T.V. - Take a look

It appears that I spend way too much time on this web site. My girlfriend is on my case about this, yet I love the debate. Since it is effecting my personal life, I came up with a way to resolve the problem.
As many of you know, something called 'reality' T.V. has become a popular phenomenon. Far be it from me to explain why, as I think it sucks and lacks a certain intelligence. Once again, one network has taken an idea and beat it into the ground, while all the other networks follow the leader. Piss poor T.V..
Since all of these networks copy each other they all have a common feature. That is they allow for competitors or participants to be voted off the show. The shows who use this tactic usually eat away at 15 good minutes of air time in doing this. I suppose they think it adds to the overwhelming suspense.
Instead of flipping a coin to make a desicion about my internal conflict (to leave or to stay), I will allow the viewing audience to decide. Give me your votes. Stormin Norman, should he stay or should he go? Give me your responses, please use specific reasons for your voting, one way or another. I will count responses through today at midnight, my time. Remember my future is in your hands.

I had the same problem last fall when I was under my other name AugustoSandino, she definitely would get pissed when I typed into the wee hours of the night.

Rough translation of Norman: how many of you like me?? Stay or go, I'm sure you have enough strength of your convictions to be sure that you're making the right decision...

Stay
1) You are pro-capitalist
2) You provide good insight and well thought submissions/responses in all threads, and provide a good balance towards the right in this poilitical debate forum.
If I may borrow another reality TV buzzword, It is also good for my "strategy" to keep you here, as we are usually allies on any given topic.

Life is a big game of dungeons and dragons in my opinion.
well, really I was setting up for my big, ultimate master plan, it was so ultimate that no one would ever suspect anything, I had to plan it just right.
Then along came Emma and Kathy and screwed up my plan, now my plan is wrecked and in total pieces.
P.S. All the juniors think the opposite way round to the adults.

personally speaking, since you asked,
I think you engage in thoughtful discussion, and you should stay.....screw the female.........after you get off the net.
That is my tasteless answer, other than that, I really think you are craving some attention he, "should I stay or should I go," Make up your own mind, what is more important to you Jacko?

You really need someone else to back up your opinions?? Surely someone as entrenched in their ways and thoughts as you has enough confidence to state them independently...

It's to do with my real life. The saga nearly ended with me writing this essay http://www.fightcapitalism.net/users/moski...stuff/essay.htm (http://www.fightcapitalism.net/users/moskitto/stuff/essay.htm) but alas it still continued. I just know I'm going to go training tommorow with Bob handing out copies of this to everyone, except it's not printer friendly:). Or maybe someone would have actually read it, when someone reads it I will confirm or deny it.

Of course I can, but why turn down an ally if it is there? A good capitlaist leverages all advantages, such as strategic alliances.

Damn. Not one piece of hate mail. I am shocked, because I thought there would be more negative responses than posative. Perhaps I am not hated as much I thought. Does that mean I am not doing my job?
Seriously, I didn't do this as an attention seeking measure. Throughout my life I have been indecisive when it comes to trivial matters. Maybe this is because I am a pisces. Just kidding, astrology is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. The real reason lies in the fact that I can see the benefits of staying with this forum and continuing to debate the topics, but I can also see the benefit of freeing my time up for more important things. The cost benefit analysis of this situation offers a close tie, so I tried a creative (or lack there of) approach to making a final decision.
Apparently I am loved by all. This is good because I can't live my life unless everyone likes me. Thanks for doing my thinking for me. It was too much of a bother for me to make a crucial desicion, like whether to continue on an internet bulletin board. Hey, wait a minute, I am starting to see the benefit of a socialist or communist government. Now I see the error in my ways. Instead of deciding for myself how to go about my life, I can have the government do it for me. Okay, I am really glad I posted this thread. It has allowed me to recognize the true value of such a loving and caring government. A paternalistic big brother form of government is really what I need to make sure my life is in order.
I guess I should get comfortable, because I have decided of my own volition to stick around a while longer.
