/dev/null Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Pssst. It's Art Bell... the midnight ozone pilot from Tralfamadore. You know what would be epic?

OCinBuffalo Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) While I've been on many long, strange trips I'm pretty sure I'm not Bob Weir or Art Shell. Weird combo you chose there. One's a musician the other is a former offensive lineman. Not sure what they have to the upcoming "situation" we will be facing. Pretty sure I'm not a baby boomer. Nothing is quickening? Really? You sure about that? The mere fact we're having this conversation on the internet is proof that things are indeed quickening. Globalization has shrunk our world, technology and communication continue to advance at exponential rates (that means it's quickening). In the past 25 years we've gone from a world without cell phones to a world were everyone has a computer 10x more powerful than anything from the 80s in their pocket. But there's a hole in our technology. A big missing gap of time that spans almost 100 years. Think about that for a moment -- really think about that. For all the advances we've made as a civilization in communications, medicine, and general tech, we're still using technology from the 1930s to travel. Why is that? We're missing 100 years of technology somehow... why is that so? As a species we went from the covered wagon to the railroad to the automobile to the moon in less than 100 years. The technology we developed in the 1930s (rockets, jet engines) are still the means of travel we use today. It's as if this one segment of technology research just stopped dead in the water. Why would that happen? If technology advances exponentially, how is it that we haven't advanced past the 1930s when it comes to simple propulsion? The mistake is thinking that the side show we call the election has any bearing on this conversation whatsoever. It's a charade. And for further proof, I recommend you look at this: http://devilsverse.f...rocket-ship.jpg The Mayans predicted that war. Yes, and if Newton was brought forward in time to the 20s, he'd run screaming from the Model T...that is based his work. Imagine his reaction to a Corvette coming at him. See? It's all a matter of perception....and "quickening" is the only refuge for people whose entire ideology, from 1965 to today, has been proven to be hopelessly wrong. Rather than admitting they were wrong....they assign some sinister, otherworldly cause as to the reason they are wrong. After all, we largely listened to them, and built the big government they demanded. Now, when their constructs haven't delivered the promised results, and in many cases have been proven to make things worse? It's time to blame something besides those constructs...and certainly not the idiots who created/supported them. Why not blame some non-corporeal entity like "the quickening"? It's convenient...because nobody can define it's properties. Thus, they can't be held accountable for this ghost entity...as they are by the obvious causes and effects of their failed big government programs, which in contrast are very tangible. Wait: aren't these the same people who hate those who believe in anything supernatural? What is the quickening...if not a supernatural entity? When liberals who believed they were smarter...are confronted with their failure, apparently the only place left to turn...is the supernatural. How fun! Perhaps we should pray to "The Quckening" and ask it to spare us? I'm pretty sure I know what we'd get back: 42 Edited September 26, 2012 by OCinBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mayans were staunch believers in human sacrifice, top down economics and had no problem causing a massive climate change through deforestation and overpopulation. Pretty sure they were conservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing really missing from this thread is crayonz arguing that the Maybin Apocalypse will actually occur December 30th when he gets five sacks on Ryan Fitzsimmons...

Have you asked yourself why Crayonz is missing now of all times? He and Googlebot were trying to warn us all. But the lords of TBD silenced his voice too soon. But we'll meet Crayonz again on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's a grand conspiracy to cover the truth of the Maybin Apocalypse, which is why crayonz was banned. Thus making...Simon?...a member of the conspiracy. Yeah, that's likely.
