An old man's false testimony

now go ahead you, you say anything you like
Why do you think the old man might lie?
I looked at him for a long time
jacket was split under the shoulder did you notice that,
i mean coming to court like that
he was a very old man in a torn jacket
he walked very slowly to the stand
he was dragging his left leg and trying to hide it because he will shamed
I think i know this man better than anyone here.
this is a quite, frightened, insignificant old man, who,
who has been nothing in all his life
who has never had recognition
or his name in newspapers
nobody knows him
nobody quotes him
nobody seeks his advice after 75 years
gentlemen, that's a very sad thing to be nothing
man like this needs to be quoted
to be listen to
to be quoted just once
very important to him
so hard for him to be in background..
ohhhhhhhh wait a minute,
what are you trying to do,tell us he lied to be one of those important ones.
no he wouldn't really lie, but perhaps he made himself believe that.
Pleasure
Pleasure is a result of a decrease in stimuli ( something external that influences an activity),for example, a calm environment the body enters after having been subjected to a hectic environment. If pleasure increases as stimuli decreases, then the ultimate experience of pleasure for Freud would be zero stimulus, or death. Given this proposition, Freud acknowledges the tendency for the unconscious to repeat unpleasurable experiences in order to desensitize, or deaden, the body. This compulsion to repeat unpleasurable experiences explains why traumatic nightmares occur in dreams, as nightmares seem to contradict Freud's earlier conception of dreams purely as a site of pleasure, fantasy, and desire.Freud believed that humans were driven by two conflicting central desires: the life drive (Eros) (incorporating the sex drive) and the death drive (Thanatos). Freud's description of Eros, whose energy is known as libido, included all creative, life-producing drives. The death drive (or death instinct), whose energy is known as mortido, represented an urge inherent in all living things to return to a state of calm: in other words, an inorganic or dead state.Freud approaches the paradox between the life drives and the death drives by defining pleasure and unpleasure. According to Freud, unpleasure refers to stimulus that the body receives.On the one hand, the life drives promote survival by avoiding extreme unpleasure and any threat to life. On the other hand, the death drive functions simultaneously toward extreme pleasure, which leads to death.
"The goal of all life is death."
Sigmund Freud

Microsoft versus Mozilla, Capital versus who?
This is from isoHunt.com , how does it sound?
Just noticed the tipping point in browser stats for visitors to isoHunt. From Google Analytics:
| Code: |
| Firefox Sep 18, 2007 - Sep 24, 2007 45.84% Sep 25, 2007 - Oct 1, 2007 46.19% Internet Explorer Sep 18, 2007 - Sep 24, 2007 46.42% Sep 25, 2007 - Oct 1, 2007 46.07% Opera Sep 18, 2007 - Sep 24, 2007 3.89% Sep 25, 2007 - Oct 1, 2007 3.79% Safari Sep 18, 2007 - Sep 24, 2007 2.82% Sep 25, 2007 - Oct 1, 2007 2.91% |
Congrats to the Mozilla Foundation and Firefox team for pulling this off! Firefox users on isoHunt have now overtaken IE users, and I see the trend continuing in more Firefox adoption. The less reliance on standard non-compliant and malware-friendly IE, the better. And while talking about browsers, a note for Firefox and Adblock users: I'd appreciate it if you exclude using Adblock on isoHunt and our other sites (Torrentbox, Podtropolis). We make best efforts in not showing intrusive or abusive ads, I hope you'd return similar courtesy. Our legal cost are mounting and we need the advertising dollars. Thanks
Anyways, it's like having one Dictator versus two or three.
p.s. I'll try to de-active pop-up blocker. maybe it was tolerable?

Cockroach

The oldest winged insect on the face of the earth (between 354–295 million years ago) , was definitely resistant to any and all methods of extermination, from tomato slices with borax to flour and sugar, and with its one thousand six hundred three varieties had raised the most ancient, tenacious, and pitiless persecution that mankind had unleashed against any living thing since the beginnings, including man himself, to such extent that just as an instinct for reproduction was attributed to the mankind , so there must have been another one more definite and pressing, which was the instinct to kill cockroaches, and if the latter had succeeded in escaping human ferocity it was because they had taken refuge in the shadows, where they become invulnerable because of man's congenital fear of the dark ,but on the other hand they became susceptible to the glow of noon , so the only effective method for killing cockroaches was the glare of sun.

Punishment: some old stuff

what is a crime?
what is a punishment?
it seems to vary
from time to time ,
place to place.
what's legal today
is suddenly illegal tomorrow, because some society says it so ,
and what's illegal yesterday
is suddenly legal today
because everybody is doing that,
and you can't put
everybody in jail
I'm not saying this is right or wrong
I'm just saying that's the way it is

Custom Concern
The custom concern of the people is
Build up monuments and steeples
To wear out our eyes
I get up just about noon
My head sends a message for me
to reach for my shoes and then walk
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta have a job
Goes through the parking lot fields
Didn't see no signs that they would yield
And then thought, this'll never end
This'll never end, this'll never stop
Message read on the bathroom wall
Said, "I don't feel at all like I fall."
And we're losing all touch, losing all touch
Building a desert

Build up monuments and steeples

Didn't see no signs that they would yield
And then thought, this'll never end
This'll never end, this'll never stop
Message read on the bathroom wall
Said, "I don't feel at all like I fall."
And we're losing all touch, losing all touch
Building a desert
