Epimetheus

B.S. Detector

Back in the ’70s and early’80s, people allowed their dogs to crap just about anywhere. As a kid, you learnt how to ID the piles of poo, before you stepped in one of them. There is also verbal poo. For example:

The history of the world is like: He kills me, I kill him, only with different cosmetics and different castings. So in 2001, some fanatics killed some Americans, and now some Americans are killing some Iraqis. And in my childhood, some Nazis killed Jews. And now, some Jewish people and some Palestinians are killing each other. Political questions, if you go back thousands of years, are ephemeral - not important.

Did you avoid stepping in it or did you soil your shoes?

I Smelt Your feces at, “i disagree with the definitoin of punk.”

Yes, yes, I know “Dark-side” implies that the opposite must exist. Anyway, on with the show. What Punk Is. By: the internet.

• HIM: we can’t be free of any of those influences (except maybe by living as hermits) what we can do is take an aggressive critical approach to the influences
• ME: what exactly do you mean by “aggressive critical approach”?
• HIM: hadn’t really though. direct questioning and/or selective rejection of the immediate sources of influence

“Direct questioning of the immediate sources of influence,” huh? WTF? “Okay,” I thought to myself, “I gotta hear this.” So, being me, I said, “This is my first exposure to the concept of ‘direct questioning of the immediate sources of influence.’” Followed by a question, “what exactly does that mean?” Now, at this point, I was expecting some long monolog. What I got instead was, honesty:

no idea, i was thinking on my feet and it seemed right. I’m not claiming deep meaning

oops, looks like someone ate their own poop.
