Burners Soundoff against Jante Law

Post by PugRay » Sun Jul 11, 2010 2:42 pm

Have you ever felt as though your personal achievements are constantly being over shadowed, creativity stymied,
and individual expression suppressed by some unwritten communal playbook?
Well my friends you are not alone, and the play book
was written long before any of your oppressors were even hard boiled genetic sludge in their mama's ovaries or smegma in their daddy's sack.
That's right it's the application of Jante Law and it is effective and therefore prevalent.
There's no better way to crush someones spirit than to let them know on no uncertain terms that they are not unique, not special in any way, and have no real importance or significance and risk alienation and being ostracized for trying to prove otherwise.
Here are the 10 rules your tyrant oppressors don't want you to know yet relentlessly enforce:

The ten rules of suppression:

1. Don't think that you are special.
2. Don't think that you are of the same standing as others.
3. Don't think that you are smarter than others.
4. Don't fancy yourself as being better than others.
5. Don't think that you know more than others.
6. Don't think that you are more important than others.
7. Don't think that you are good at anything.
8. Don't laugh at others.
9. Don't think that any one of us cares about you.
10. Don't think that you can teach others anything.

A further rule has been identified as: 11. Don't think that there is anything we don't know about you.

Furthermore those who transgress these unwritten 'laws' are regarded with suspicion and some hostility, as it goes against communal desire for control or absolute adherence to the 'status quo' under the guise of preserving social stability and uniformity.

Do not be a victim!

There is a solution to battle the effects of the Janters, and it begins with healthy doses of Amplified, Filthy, Whomping, Dub Step. That's right and the louder the better. For those already consumed by the oppression, for whom there is little hope, and who's fire has long been extinguished by the Jante Law system will be appalled by the earsplitting frequencies. This not only acts as your first line of defense but will actually work to counteract the effects that if left unchecked will slowly erode your self confidence and esteem until you are mindless putty in their hands to mold as they will or discard in the burn pile with the rest.

Begin your self reclamation today!

You don't hafta listen to that crap to feel good about yourself.

First, try smoking some weed.

Then tell yourself that no matter where you are and what you do, there is always someone who is not doing it as well as you are, and also there is someone doing it better, ALWAYS.

who the hell cares what other people think anyhow ?

It matters not what others think,
It matters not what you think,
What matters is what you think others think about you.
If you care, that is all that matters because you can never actually know what others think.
If you don't care (I'm swimming toward that tendency), then just be yourself and others will either accept you (finding that more often than not) or reject you.

I think I'd rather listen to the sound of someone taking a wet powershit in a mens bathroom than that dubstep crap I endured listening to in that first post. Damn, that sucked bloated donkey balls. And the whole concept is bullshit to boot.

Can I get the last few minutes of my life back please?

Hmmm...

HIS: Starts off VERY slow, minute 2 picks up, but then gets boring very quickly. I like a good beat, but it needs more. And far too much dead air in the middle.

HERS: Again with the slow start and dead air in the middle. No life to it, no drive. Too slow. This will clear a dance floor.

Not bad starts, but both need refinement.

I don't agree with everything everyone has to say, however, we are all entiled to our own ignorance and blathering.
Besides its an amemndment or something or another.
THERE ARE JUST SOME BOUNDARIES YOU DON'T CROSS in simple disagreements and You MR. Zeus have blurred that line with your audacity and impertinence!! You've gone too far sir! This thread is about the importance of dubstep in combating the effects of Jante abuse!
Not a forum for you to share your favorite comedic clips!
Good day sir!

We interrupt the program to bring you this breaking bulletin.. Due to the loss of a long and drawn out trademark battle with Russel Athletic over the use of the word 'sock' in our title, the producers have agreed to replace all 'sock' references with 'cankle cover' in keeping with the show's target demographic... Our show is now called 'Who's Cankle Cover is it Anyway?' Thank you for you continued viewership! [youtube][/youtube]

When Ning started charging it killed off a LOT of sites. I closed three sites. Ning was a PITA for me...anytime their name gets mentioned I get hot.

And Pug Ray, I owe you an apology. The dubstep is not that bad now that I went back and listened to it again.
