How much longer will we sit here twiddling our thumbs, waiting for the "Facebook crowd" to check in here? I'm not on Facebook right now, so I don't know if anyone on there cares. Facebook is a circle-jerk of approval and status. Is Fornits doomed to obscurity in the face of facebook? Does anybody 'LIKE' the idea of revitalizing this site besides the few who have put forth recent efforts?

My hope is that we can simply restore the conversation as it was taking place here on fornits, some years back.  I am not too impressed with the dialogue on Fb, which is full of unoriginal ideas, memes, other shallow bullshit and is essentially a submissive-authroitarian wet dream.  I'm not twiddlin my thumbs waiting to turn fornits into Fb.  Fornits is better because I think a certain level of anonymity, helps keep the conversation honest, or closer to it anyway, and yet there can also be continuity in conversation, as long as there is a user name to identify fornits posters with.

Right.. this medium can't really become that; it's just a regular old forum... I wouldn't want to try to ~drag everybody here, or anything.. let them find it for themselves, for the most part..but there are a few people I wish were posting here who posted in the old days.. forum veterans.. like on that other thread..

"Biologically speaking, man is a moderately gregar­ious, not a completely social animal -- a creature more like a wolf, let us say, or an elephant, than like a bee or an ant. In their original form human societies bore no resemblance to the hive or the ant heap; they were merely packs. Civilization is, among other things, the process by which primitive packs are transformed into an analogue, crude and mechanical, of the social in­sects' organic communities. At the present time the pressures of over-population and technological change are accelerating this process. The termitary has come to seem a realizable and even, in some eyes, a desirable ideal. Needless to say, the ideal will never in fact be realized. A great gulf separates the social insect from the not too gregarious, big-brained mammal; and even though the mammal should do his best to imitate the insect, the gulf would remain. However hard they try, men cannot create a social organism, they can only create an organization. In the process of trying to create an organism they will merely create a totali­tarian despotism."

~ Aldous Huxley

Yes, it becomes easier and easier to see as time marches on toward the endgame. At this particular point in time it seems that they are afraid that we are no longer afraid enough. If we're not afraid enough, then they can't do what they want, which causes them to become desperate.. when they get desperate they tend to do stupid, desperate and extreme things.

Determinism AND randomness are both components of life, not just one or the other. Within the framework of Social Darwinism, the survival of the most socially ruthless is the only natural order of things. Survival is the highest aspiration and the highest law, referred to as "self-preservation." These are hallmarks of dark occultism as well, and moral relativism is one of the main tenets of Satanism. They believe that there is no such thing as objective truth. They and they alone control who gets to live and who dies.  Along comes another "smart one" ready to speak for everybody, but these types do not possess (holistic) intelligence. Their "intellect" is one-sided. With them, the left side of the brain has taken over. Authoritarianism is due to an extreme left brained imbalance, and the controllers want to keep the imbalance in place.. at the opposite end of the spectrum is 'slave-think.'

I hear you; I might need even longer to achieve that.

But I don't know if that is why I like to post here..

Is this nothing more than a habit?

Maybe it is naive positivism to want to resurrect this "sewer filled with hate, lies, and verbal violence (sic)."
Like you, I'm really tired of facebook right now... and want discussion to happen elsewhere.

So naturally we migrate back to from whence we came...

10 Homelessness Myths

    Homeless people are lazy. In fact, over 45% of people who are homeless have a job(s) while they are homeless. Joblessness also exists as many times wages do not translate into livable earnings.
    Homeless people are alcoholics/drug addicts. In fact, about 35-45% of people who are homeless do have a substance abuse problem; however the relationship between homelessness and alcohol and drug addiction is quite controversial. While addiction and drug use is prevalent, many homeless individuals use substances in order to self-medicate, exposing a fundamental problem in our nation’s lack of healthcare provision for the poor and homeless.
    Homeless people are crazy. In fact, 20-25% of the single adult homeless population suffers from some form of severe and persistent mental illness, the most common of which is depression. Consequently, many people develop mental illnesses while on the street.
    Homeless people are uneducated. In fact, many people who are homeless have high school diplomas or their GED, college degrees and even Masters Degrees.
    Homeless people want to be homeless. In fact, nobody in their right mind wants to become homeless. There are some people who are “chronically homeless” who have lost faith in society; they don’t think that there is another way out because of society’s treatment towards the homeless.
    Homeless people are dirty/smell. In fact, you would be unable to tell that many homeless people are as such. Many people living in shelters you would never know were homeless because they have a place to shower.
    It is your fault if you become homeless. In fact, people become homeless for a wide variety of circumstances such as: family problems, abuse, mental illness, lost job, can’t afford to pay rent (lack of affordable housing and lack of a living wage), no health insurance, substance abuse (alcohol or drugs), natural disaster (hurricane, earthquake, fire etc), etc.
    Homelessness can’t happen to you. In fact, it can happen to anybody at any time. 1 out of 3 people working today are one or two missed paychecks away from being homeless, especially the 37 million people currently living in poverty.
    Homelessness will never end. In fact, homelessness can end and will end once it is no longer acceptable in our society for another human being to be sleeping outside, in their car, in an abandoned building, or in a shelter.
    Homelessness is easy to get out of. In fact, it is not. It takes a lot of work for a person to move from homelessness to homefullness and obtain access to gainful employment based on a living wage, housing, healthcare, and networks of support are imperative.

The ones who were in Straight were shown the nature of the beast, but when they get out they are fooled back into group by their t.v.s and their democracy.
