True to an extent, since perception is a state of mind. 

"All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise."

Anyone who can ressurect dead threads has a gift!

And I was going to ask Zen Badger where he'd dissapeared to!

Well I guess we have another near death experience to start a thread about haha.

Why isn't earth a paradise? Gee, might be, because given half a chance, the milk of human kindness is the hole between their buttcheeks and it''s contents.

Because prayer is nothing more than talking to yourself.

And, in general, people are self-absorbed cunts.

Fucking noobs pulling up two year dead threads.

Noobs, please read the fucking rules you agreed to abide by when you signed up!

"Necroposting
Necroposting is not allowed. We consider necroposting to be the act of posting a new reply to a thread which hasn't had any new replies for 30 days or more. A warning notice will appear if you are about to necropost, however you will not be prevented from necroposting due to limitations with the forum software, and also to allow certain exceptions to the rule as outlined below.

Exceptions to this rule are granted by staff on a case by case basis. Usually if the thread is popular and intended to be an ongoing discussion, rather than one related to a specific event, necroposting is allowed. For example, in a thread where members are encouraged to post photos of themselves, necroposting would be allowed, but in a thread which is a discussion about a recent event or news article, necroposting would not be allowed."

Below each thread there is a section called possibly related threads, which is where this one was. Rather than creating another to recreate the wheel I posted on what existed to expand on what was there. Sorry to the mods if that broke the rules.

And...

At the top of each post is an indication of how long ago a post was made. At the end of each page of a thread (full version only) is a red warning banner advising you to start a new discussion rather than digging up the dead ones.

What I use as a rule of thumb:
If the thread is only a few pages, I'll leave it in it's shallow grave. If it's hundreds of pages long and has post going back months or years before the last post date then it'll probably fit the stated exception.

The good Lord hath heard my prayer! It's a murricle!
Hallylooyer!
