Re: Diseased by hatedestruction	8-Jan-04/10:51 AM
You colossal fucking retard. Do you think poetry is some kind of competition to see who can write the most cryptic-sounding nonsense? Poetry is not supposed to sound like Nirvana lyrics. You clearly think that the poeme has a beautiful, revolutionary message deep inside it, and that it is made all the more beautiful because you really have to work and study your unconventional use of language to understand what you meant. You plainly don't even know what the lines in this piece are supposed to mean, just a vague sense that they're beautiful and express the dark abyss of beautiful hatred that is your life. You assjacket. You are between the ages of 13 and 17. You listen to "alternative rock" or "nu metal". You once applied 3 joules to your arm with a safety razor and then told people "sometimes I cut myself" and showed them the "scar". You have a selection of candles and jossticks in your room. They have scents like "waking dreams" and "opium utopia". You once smelled some cannabis smoke, but you never smoked any yourself, or you would be writing about your tedious drug adventures instead. You think you are special and misunderstood, and that one day you'll find someone who understands the dark beauty of the soul like you do. You're a talentless nobody with a corncob for a face.

Dear Pervy Elf, I tell by your love of *constructive* criticism, and your use of the word "malice", that you are a deeply, deeply mature individual.
Re: BreakBeat TimeTravel by nentwined	7-Jan-04/4:03 AM
When I read the title, I actually thought it might be about beaks. Needless to say I was jolly excited; but then it turned out that you just couldn't spell "break", and instead I had to read a poeme that contained the word "moment" far too many times. Thanks.
Re: a comment on The wise by richa	3-Jan-04/1:23 PM
It doesn't really matter what mark you get as long as you learn from the experience. Just remember that poemes can mean different things to different people, and that there's no such thing as a wrong opinion, even if it is wrong.

Sir, Let us hope these temporary trousers aren't as temporary as the pair that fell down mid-way through my hour long acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in Advanced Trouser Suspension Utilities. I don't think the Gentleman's Guilde would tolerate another public "fall from grace", do you? Regards, Professor Eustace Q. Bloomington
Re: a comment on Where was god? by little_big_nose	3-Jan-04/8:56 AM
It may be that the author is a quadro-dunce. Indeed, their post on your poeme would suggest just that. I thought the author was trying to get Christians to ask themselves those questions, viz. "will God ever be there?" etc, so that they might come to the conclusion that their God doesn't exist or something. I think the only way to resolve this dispute is to ask the author whether or not they are angry with a non-existent God. It's a standpoint I can quite understand; I myself am extremely angry with the non-existent hammer that is currently bludgeoning my non-existent pet otter to an imaginary bloody pulp.

How can you be an atheist when the Bible says atheists go to Hell? Checkmate, I believe.
Re: a comment on Where was god? by little_big_nose	3-Jan-04/8:30 AM
Of course it's stupid to say something sucks because it doesn't exist. But I don't think that's what anyone here is trying to say. This poeme is essentially just the argument concerning the supposed contradiction between the existence of a benevolent, all-powerful Jesu and the existence of suffering. The author is saying that if God existed, he would suck (or at least could not be benevolent AND all powerful), so a benevolent, all-powerful God does not exist. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this argument, but I definitely think you have misinterpreted the poeme if you think it means "God sucks because He doesn't exist". If you think that, then I'm afraid it is you who is the one who is wearing no trousers, not me.
Re: a comment on The wise by richa	3-Jan-04/8:20 AM
Don't ask me, ask richa for his (honest) opinion. I don't have a clue what it means, other that it's about the wise (and decrepit).
Re: a comment on Where was god? by little_big_nose	3-Jan-04/8:08 AM
Why not just answer the question? And for your information, your intentions cannot be "quickly resolved" by perusing your posting history. I spent some time doing just that before posting my comment and couldn't decide whether you were joking or not. If I had to bet my life on it, I'd probably say you weren't joking since, after asking you about it, you seem to have got yourself into some sort of "huff". Nice one!

No problem, richa. By the way, if you would like to read a thorough exploration of my views relating to elderlys, why not have a look at my comment (in reply to Joe-joe) on the following poeme: http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=64276

Your comment is stupid in so many ways that I think it must be some sort of joke. Is it?
Re: a comment on Faith by Pervy Elf	1-Jan-04/10:31 AM
You can tell somebody isn't thinking when they start a comment with "Believe what you will - it's your right". What an utterly pointless thing to say. Next time you think about saying that, ask yourself what you think it will achieve. Since this discussion has NOTHING to do with whether or not I have a right to believe something, don't you think it's rather bizarre that you would start off on that track? Good Christ I hope so. And as for your refusal to engage in what you call "meaningless banter", I can only say I'm not surprised you're unwilling to defend your beliefs though I am rather bemused as to why YOU think putting forward a rational defence of your beliefs would necessarily constitute "meaningless banter". It seems we agree on one thing at least... With regard to YOUR comment on being a child molester, I'm afraid you have quite utterly missed the point. Either that or you just wanted to casually slip your own history of child abuse into the conversation to make it look as if you know what you're talking about. I wasn't accusing you of child molestation. I wanted to raise the question that if there is such a thing as free will, then is it possible to have a world without child molestation that still has free will? Since (I assume) you do not molest children, yet (presumably) you believe you have free will, I don't understand why Jesu can't get rid of child molestation altogether and still keep free will. Do you? Nice one.
Re: Faith by Pervy Elf	30-Dec-03/6:56 PM
TO fair12 (comment indentation has malfunctioned) What's amazing is that you believe a magical super-being swooped down to planet Earth and took on humanoid form. You also believe that this pseudo-earthling was the SON of god AND was god at the same time, you also believe He had various special moves like the ability to walk on water, the ability to make small quantities of bread and fish become large quantities of bread and fish, and some other completely arbitrary and indiscriminate powers - like the ability to heal certain random cripples he happened to bump into (but not the ones He didn't bump into because they were naughty) and the ability to bring someone back from the dead even though that person would have been in Heaven or Hell at the time, and if they were in Hell then their eternal damnation wouldn't have been very eternal, and if they were in Heaven, why would they want to be brought back to life anyway? You also believe that despite the fact that this humanoid was supposedly omniclever, He still prayed to God (aka Himself), to beg for an alternative to crucifixion, even though anyone who was omniclever would already know the answer to such a prayer, and anyway, why pray to yourself? Your comment doesn't address the issues put forward in this poeme in anywhere near a satisfactory way. The way I see it, the poeme is trying to say that if there truly is a benevolent Jesu - as the Bible claims - then He probably wouldn't condone child molestation on an unreasonable scale. However, child molestation exists, and given that Jesu (if He existed) would have the power to stop it, why doesn't He stop it? And why does He manufacture child molesters in His secret laboratory in the first place? And don't say "free will" because it is perfectly possible to have a world without child molestation that still has free will. Do you molest children? Do you have free will? If God is willing to intervene in order to hold this particular victim's "faithless ass up, not allowing evil to take that final step of control", then why isn't He willing to go all the way and magically generate a force field around the child's buttocks that wards off molestation completely? Hmm? What is also amazing is that there is a staggeringly simple answer to all these problems: The Bible is a complete load of balls. Thanks.
