the only way to truly protest this site is to abstain from using it. and to convince a few thousand others to do so as well.

*Plageurism Alert!*

Paradigm got this title from the 1980 alien movie stinker called "It Came Without Warning". This alone is worthy of a ban.

Review: Sure it's terrible, but if you can't enjoy a film this bad, there's something wrong with you. This predecessor of the highly-successful "Predator" features a similar plot involving a single alien coming to Earth to hunt humans for sport. Instead of a military platoon though, this E.T. happens to be up against a few inebriated backwoods characters, including Martin Landau and Jack Palance. It's got the works: poorly lit sets, drunken actors, slime covered bodies, and a briefly-glimpsed weird alien. It spends most of the movie offscreen, apparently throwing living frisbees with tentacles at hapless humans, then harvesting them and storing their bodies in a convenient old shack. A perfect time-killer! My only regret is that I never got to see this one at the drive-in, which is obviously where it was meant to be enjoyed. It meets that lofty goal very nicely.

The fact that Martin Landau and Jack Palance both appear in this film, light-years away from their Oscars, is even weirder that the appearance of the alien (which really does look just like those famous aliens from "The Outer Limits" with the big lampshade heads). It also features an early performance by David Caruso as alien chow. This one is pretty hard to track down, but it's not to be missed. Pop some popcorn and watch it with the lights out...you might actually see something that way!

I've started acclimating to the Shroomery Police State in much the same way that when a cop in the real world stops me, wants to search me, give me orders, whatever, I immediately comply regardless of whether or not what they are doing is right (or even legal).


Whether it is right, or even legal?

Officer: "You were going a little fast back there, son. Now step out of the car and put your hands behind your back while we handcuff you and search your car and trunk."

Diploid: "Sure. Do you want to do a full cavity search too first?"

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Being a good little sheep is what it is all about. Just do what you are told.

Great men who spoke out in history: Christ, Gandhi, Twain, King, Einstein, Galileo etc.

Famous sheep: Um, can't think of any at the moment.

This is fair and balanced.


Perhaps the mods have been watching Fox News!  :wink:

four fluffily-biased people in a position of some power itching to demonstrate their superior spirituality.


Maybe the itching is a result of the fluffily bias.  When itch turns to scratch things can get rash.

Swami, you need a different approach.  Repeat after me:  "Shakin' the bushes, Boss!"

Btw, although it wasn't me the one who got you banned, i believe there are enough reasons to do it.

It's not a secret some members are trying to sabotage S&M by exploiting the rules while they are not finally set. Some other members are falling for it and getting into the game.

To all this people, you're free to do it but the moderation is also free to lock, move and delete any thread, and to warn or ban any member not respecting the rules in this moment of change.

MAIA


Why do you always say "got you banned"? It's like you are trying to divert attention away from you. You should say "did/didn't ban you."

You really believe there are enough reasons to ban him from one statement? Wouldn't a warning be better?

You and things you say constantly, seem to be mockery to the skeptics.

Well, as you well know, this can't be answered from the posted rules, but I gather that skeptics are permitted so long as they reform and tow the line.

I've been told that any non-proactive favorable speech about mysticism is explicitly prohibited. Any skeptic posting non :fairy: will certainly get at least a warning, though depending on the mod's personal opinion of you, it may arbitrarily be a ban.

My recommendation is that you just stay away. :shake:

Sorry if i don't understand the difference between "got you banned" and "did ban you". I'm always learning, no cynicism here, please elucidate.
If i would try to divert attention away from me, why would i state that "i believe there are enough reasons to do it".

Quote:

The implications of the recent bans and its celerity are due to the sabotage attempt at SM&P. This event is severe by the staff standards, probably non popular actions were taken but the things is we didn't start the whole thing, but we're doing our job and trying to fix it.

Quote:

Good lords they only seem because they are not. They "seem" to some of you, you got your reasons people. I have received support from some skeptics as well as believers, that's what matters to me regarding this issue. The thing is, i also think about the people that constantly attack my position and i wonder what i can do to explain them my reasons, even if they're just a handful of them.

Many wonder if i'm a skeptic or a believer, i'm neither and both at the same time :wink: . Some people call me agnostic though ...

MAIA
