Why would you celebrate a Catholic terrorist attempting to overthrow the Protestant King in order to create a Catholic controlled state? I'm really sorry, but I just don't get the Guy Fawkes love. Yeah he wanted to overthrow the government, and he wanted to do so through violence, and only so that the people he liked would come to power.
Anyway, today is my Dad's birthday, so I'll call him.

This!^ seriously most people would not even know or give a damn if it wasn't for V for Vendetta! That's all it is!Vern said:
hey, people with GF masks, Halloween was Monday. Unless you are at Youmacon then dress-up day is over.
That's a double edged blade, the thought of one idea flashing through all of humanity is bad. I would kill myself if the world was one sided. It would be nice if everyone could unite but it can never happen. People always have different views, and they will always act at some point for themselves.Theseus32 said:
One group that thinks they know better than everyone... that's flawed in its self. Sounds like the only way you're going to form such a mindset is by forcefully dealing with anyone who thinks otherwise.
I don't know if you were just quoting something, or joking, but I despise the logic in your comment. It's naive to think everyone can get along in my eyes.
OT: I intend to play a bit of tf2 after I finally finish making a song, it seems to be eating up the hours :/
I will do my laundry. Then some work. Then watch a film and go to bed. I saw some fireworks a moment ago while sitting outside. I suppose that's enough...
I guess terrorism is cool if it ain't done by foreigners. Funniest part is that all the people who buy those masks solely for what they stand for actually help the government, since they bought them from a store, witch in return pays taxes to the government. So yeah, sweet irony.Vern said:

Sat around watching for all those things anonymous promised would happen. Hey, why's my facebook still up and running?
EDIT: Well, apparently they got Los Zetas to release their member, so they've gotten stuff done. Good on them.

I personally have a problem with the notion of justifying actions because the person did it for their beliefs (I am aware that you added 'within reason' but the statement overall still bothers me).Stephen Wo said:
It's a pointless specification to make because I'm fairly certain that most things people have done throughout history (good or bad) have been motivated by the beliefs of the people who committed them (we just tend to selectively apply this excuse, and it is an excuse, to people who share our beliefs).
People can do horrible things in the name of their beliefs but it doesn't make their actions any less horrific (nor does it make them somehow exaulted or heroic for standing by their beliefs).
As for what I'm doing tonight, I have a good view of fireworks out of my bedroom window so I've got a good set up right here.
My family just celebrated by taping a snail to a rocket and well... sending it up into the air to do its thing.
That snail soared higher than any snail has soared before. Just before exploding... or maybe he's okay.

Of absolutely no interest whatsoever, but I was in York at the start of the week, and had a nice meal at a pub in the city which had a little plaque outside proclaiming it as the building that Guy Fawkes was born in.
I've always liked the old saying about Guy Fawkes as well - "The only man ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions."

Well, I worked for five hours uprooting some terrible cedar stumps from the earth, gaining several awkwardly placed blisters. Now I'm gonna go trade in some games towards the preorder of ACR, then I might watch V for Vendetta, to celebrate. Or play Paper Mario, because I've been wanting to again.
