On the internet people tend to communicate with memes and a good discussion that generates new ideas is something I consider a godsend. In real life however you can easily sit at a table and have a meaningful conversation with somebody because you can cut through the bull you get on the internet and better establish a report. The best way to bring about change right now is the old fashioned way. Get people to gather for a seminar and generate discussion. For the internet to bring about change people are going to have to start behaving more like they would in real life when they are on it. We can’t afford to lose sight of what really matters just because we now have a buffer between us.

To further drive home this point that technology is not the sole gateway to change, let’s use Gundam 00 again (yeah I know….). The Meister’s in their early mission relied on technology to try and change the world, to the point where they lost sight of why they desired such change in the first place, turned into a hive mind that was beholden to a falliable computer, and ended up destroying and making things worse instead. Since the beginning the series has been depicting something from the perspective of a rebirth of their initial drive to make the world a more peaceful place. Once the characters started reigniting their own motivations and brought things closer to the heart along with their new found power, only then did they start to get somewhere, albeit that it is now arguably too late for the time being due to their intial mistake.

In short the argument is the time old one of technology being useful for progress, but that we should never become beholden to it or let it take our focus off of that which really matters lest we make matters worse. In that sense I think we aren’t doing the best job we can with the internet. It’s creators invisioned it as the next step in communication and I believe more than a few of them feel it should be torn down and we should try again since it’s just become one big mess of MIScommunication and running jokes. Curiously enough that seems to be what a certain anime series is hinting at in it’s own context. The idea is right, the execution not so much.

Lastly I am sober now, so I can thank you and remember doing it. Just in time to write about my precious Noe…

Lastly remember that you might have trouble destroying those people closest to you, but I doubt you will give two shits for that stranger whose name you can’t remember

ahhhh, remember, good man,… Opportunities multiply as they are seized. Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across… afterall, It is best to win without fighting (– sun tzu)

hehe… you sober yet? the photos are nastily hilarious… decepticons in an almost travolta-like fashion and megatron with OP… geeez… you must really love the politics around you, don’t you?

anyway, congratulations on your “screaming” milestone!

@Calawain
Your goggles they do nothing! Clearly you have not been BROKEN by Kana report to Minami-ke immediately for re-indoctrination into Impz’s Army.

Still I was hoping someone would have commented on the Beatles by now but I guess vowels is much more interesting that Megatron…

Trapservice eh? I am sure Impz will be flattered.

@Linya
As for how weird these pics can get, bear in mind at time ignorance is bliss…

Funny how equality does not apply to family otherwise it be ice cream for dinner every day.

@Sly Sloth
Oh clever…time to make that puppy fur coat.

I am also curious to how much weirder the pictures can get.
