All of our words are "cut and pasted". Do you think anyone thinks on their own? I can guarantee you though, that I cut and pasted them from my mind on the fly and not from some source on the net.

Habituality--the state of being that is "held together" by habit.

(Here) habituality is symbolic order, because it is the seemingly whole symbolic world lived that seems flawless until an IT pops up between the cracks of habit and demonstrates everything is patched together.

You didn't get the "habituality" part, but the rest made sense... I doubt that. Either one has an intuitive or academic understanding of what I wrote, or else it's just nonsense. Of course, nonsense is often given meaning, take the pharse "commercial sex worker" for instance.

The impression I got from the movie (because I won't sit through 2000 pages of Stephen Kings wordy vomit he calls literature (keep in mind that the book had a whole chapter about part of a turtles toe)) was that IT absorbed them and that they are eternally tormented.  With all of IT's rhetoric about floating and deadlights, IT gave me the impression that he was collecting souls and that they remained concious as if in a personal hell.

Heh heh, exactly

About the eternal torment you brought up: that's kinda what I was thinking and that's what I was hoping someone would talk about.

But, again, Lakefingers: your posts really intrigued me

Ur an idiot.

HighTek, flaming isn't allowed in this forum. Read the forum rules.

Pick on the ideas presented, but leave the person presenting the ideas out of it. That's how philosophical discussion works.

Thanks for understanding.
