I really dont care how many people like you Badger.

You just are'nt the sharpest knife in the draw sometimes. Get as mad as you like. There is no reason for you most times.

Now there was nothing I said that was in pertains to you yet you choose to go negative in my direction with your answers. It's ok. you like mud fighting and creating drama. Since you have tons of time on your hands I'll duke it with you in the dirt. I'll win as usual but jeeezzzz....you'd think you would have grown past insulting me by now.

have fun dood. :evil:

Nice to see some familiar faces. Yes religion is screwed up and people have done horrible things in its name. This is the fault of human beings. It is also no reason to stop trying to get our relationship with divinty right.

No, just if you do it, have a little more creativity and put a little more thought into it than just passing out stickers and venting your spleen via bullhorn. The political piñatas was a stroke of genius, if a MOOPacious one! Maybe contain it in a dome that can contain the detritus it would create? (And I like the idea of burning the political baggage...just be sure to stand upwind of it).

The language of art is, finally, couched in symbolic terms. Find symbols, representations. Flex your allegorical muscles, add a dot or two to your Wits + Enigmas pool. Who knew that nursery rhymes and many "children's stories" started out as rather pointed political commentaries? Take a lesson from Gulliver's Travels, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and the Carmina Burana.

Not going

Post by Gothalot » Mon Jul 19, 2004 10:12 am

No thanks, I'm voting for Kerry this year as well but I am SO not interested in a political camp. There is something wrong about it, kinda like the proposed Donky shagging exhibit at Gigsville. Its just a rumor mind you. Since we're on rumor's isnt it true that Bush likes Donkys and may even visit Gigsville?

Now THAT would be an appropriate artistic addition to BRC IMHO. Should be some Bush stickers to pee on also. In fact, maybe there could be a BRC "voting" booth. 2 jugs, each with a sticker on the bottom (one "Kerry", one "Bush"). At the end of the week, the one with the most "votes" wins the BRC primary! And if there needs to be a re-count...
