Could you possibly stuff more self-contradictory jingoism into one post? You don’t care about my dad yet you go on to tell me what he was fighting for. You say we should fight communism, and then that we shouldn’t. Do you realize that while your sacred US government was out fighting your communist boogeymen that they were at the same time HELPING brutal dictators elsewhere? Of course you do, and that is why you’re such an ass. Do you realize that your sacred US has killed millions too? You sweep that under the rug because you can’t imagine a world in which the US is not the white hatted good guy, so blinded by propaganda and jingoism are you.

Anyway, I do know quite a LOT about the Vietnam war, and just because I don’t go into a frenzy like you when I see or hear the word “communist” doesn’t mean I don’t know what I am talking about.

As for mentor, maybe that was too strong and unnecessarily pointed, but you two both have that Archie Bunker thing going on and have posted in support of each other in the past, likely because he bought into your whacked out ideas to a certain extent.

I do agree that there is something wrong with him though, something to do with self-loathing probably, not unlike you Prok!

And if I am not entitled to post a claim which you claim is false, then you better get busy scouring your own blogs of thousands of claims which you have made based on “heresay” that you more than likely imagined.

And I AM entitled to as long as the editors here see fit, so sorry, you don’t get to dictate to me what I can and can’t say and what I am entitled to or not.

Fail.

I was invited to see the project in SL and was immediately sucked in by the atmosphere created. Personally, I believe that the Wall is a place where we as a race, can aknowledge and honour those that gave their lives.. the victums of foolish politics and those that practise them for agendas unbeknown to those sent, to risk their lives.

What I saw, was a place that gives a credible side to Second Life.. a place for those, wherever they may be in the world, to reach out and remember.. a place ‘to be’ whereby they can share in the moment at those times when distance and finaces, may inhibit or exclude them. I created a movie, in the hope to signify the transition between what is in RL and what was now, in SL.. allowing those to visualise and capture the ambience recreated. This is no publicity stunt, nor created for recognition of talent/skills… what has been acheived successfully, is the ‘to be’.

One thing tho, a democracy doesn’t guarantee freedom…

The US itself is a good example. I wouln’t want to call a country free if it’s citizens have to be careful what to say on the phone, or possibly be seen as a terrorist.

The build is very, very beautiful, from these pictures. Gorgeous, and a bravura effort.

The other day I commented some on the A = R formula that Mark at 45n5′s and he did an interesting video piece. He covered attention, revenue and threw in scalability for good measure. It was refreshing to see longer term thinking. Attention That is the…

There’s nothing wrong with me, I don’t suffer from any ‘conditions’ except probably frustration about the crap some people throw at me, and Linden Lab not listening. At least I got to shout at Zee Linden last night at a developers meeting and he apologised profusely.

Can’t win. Frankly, I no longer care. Humanity sucks, so I ignore it. The little kids are going to kill themselves whether I care/intervene or not, so it’s on them, not me. If they want peace, let them prove it by actually creating it themselves. I’m done – the world is on its own.

Saddam, the whole mess in Africa and even a few others I’d also count in on the list.

And ehm… The main message of monuments like this, is generally “This shouldnever happen again” and generally to learn from the mistakes of the past.

Only, people never seem to remember that other then on the special occaisions years later… for one day, then go on with their lives like nothing ever happened, and happily send their sons into another senseless war that will have no victory, only casualties, without making use of their rights to say no and stand up to those eager to wage war for profit.

Humanity will never learn, sadly.
