By the way I think someone downloaded the multitracks for Bohemian Rhapsody and did a remix for this video.

[Barry Hufker]

Probably not.

What's the world coming to?

Maybe it's developing a sense of humour at last.

I doubt any child would be damaged physically or psychologically by sliding out of the end of a giant penis.

[PRobb]

Wow. Where is that? Totally inappropriate. Funny as hell, but totally inappropriate.

For anyone who doesn't recognize that particular Queen cover

Well, you know what they say...

[Barry Hufker]

It's not that I think my child would be somehow damaged or traumatized by the slide.  Using the slide somehow condones its presence.  I choose neither to condone or condemn it.  It is welcome to stay for others to enjoy.

[Hallams]

Time for a bit of psychoanalysis ........  definitely a strong theme of re birthing mixed with a latent fear of passing gallstones

[Devin Knutson]

Um...   I think that may in fact be a significant portion of how my child came into the world in the first place, no?

Or, as my dad used to say to me, "Unbelievable...  A hundred million sperm cells, and YOURS was the fastest?"

How did we ever find anything to laugh about?, in the absence of a giant penis at the playground?

Somehow, we muddled our way through all that, lack of any sense of 'humor' intact.

Perhaps I should have been clearer and stipulated that I was referring to a sense of humour about one aspect of life that people have a tendency to get unreasonably uptight about, and not a sense of humour in general?

But then I expected people to have the intelligence to work that bit out for themselves, I don't doubt Barry did.

You need to switch to decaf or something.

[Edvaard]

  You found humor in watching kids slide out of a playground penis.

Other kids watching, all the while.

I never needed caffeine to take note of loud or obnoxious behavior heretofore, and not participated in that for some years now.

Any other suggestions?

Those video games are still there for you, man.

Go make use of yourself to yourself.

Just stay away from kids, is all.

You really don't get it do you?

Kids sliding out of a giant penis isn't funny in itself.

What is funny is knowing that some people are going to get really worked up because that slide is shaped like genetalia, something we all have and something we all came out of.

In many societies, including communities and families within western society, nudity is accepted and normal and it does children no harm whatsoever, it's only people telling  us it's bad or shocking that makes it in any way traumatic.

Child on penis shaped slide = neither humourous nor not
People getting worked up about something that's harmless = humourous
You flying off the handle interpreting my original comment as accusation that you have no sense of humour at all = either deeply sad or fucking hysterical, still not sure which.

As for the caffeine quip, I've seen you fly off the handle at the slightest thing in thread after thread, it's just another way of suggesting you calm down and stop taking stuff so bloody personally.

[Edvaard]

Jon, I "get it", your humor in the affair, as a whole, ...

My issue was that there were kids involved, for sake of "adult humor" as it turns out.

Is that so hard to understand?

And the kids were affected how?

What is sliding out of a giant penis or watching other children do it going to do to a child?

Is it going to traumatize them? Turn them into perverts or rapists, or make them subjectible to sexual preditors?

No, they'll just play on the slide and go home when they've finished and still be just as psychologically healthy or unhealthy as they were before.

If the children were being harmed in some way I would be the first to speak against it, but they're not, the only way they could be harmed is if some adult starts lecturing them on how it's a disgusting thing and they're wicked perverted little children for playing on it.

[Edvaard]

We have both done our job's well, as uncles, so, no worries here, right?

And, don'cha know, these kids will be all the better for the experience, and, furthermore, obtain some sense of "humor" that could not be obtained elsewise.

Man, you've just helped me out SO much, I can't tell you, ....

It's not a logical furtherance.

XXX porn is about sex, the interactions between people, what they do to each other and how they treat each other, the sight of body parts is incidental to that. I wouldn't want anybody to see that until they had the maturity to interpret it and evaluate it.

Can't imagine any young kid actually wanting to watch porn anyway, what kind of adult would think of making them watch it?

A penis shaped slide is just a slide shaped like a body part.

So I think I'll forego that outing with you and just watch Thomas the Tank Engine with my nephew and then I'll take him to play on whatever slide he wants to.

[Edvaard]

Excellent!

And if you took my joke as any resemblance to reality regarding my niece/nephew or yours, carry on, is all I can say.

Carry on far from here.

[Edvaard]

Look, there is just too much going on in the world here for me to accept that playground thing, and just have someone else say, "hey, no big deal"

Am I just gotten too far out into pasture?, or is it OK to just want to let kids be kids, and not have to worry about "that" stuff, so early in life? when they are still (in my R/L experience) so preoccupied with other things?

Those kids ARE just being kids. They're playing on a slide, most of them probably don't even realize it's shaped like a penis and those that do probably think it's funny... "look, I'm peepee!!!"

If it upset them in any way they wouldn't be playing on it... ever try to get a kid to do something they didn't want to?

You're the one with the emotional and psychological issues at the sight of it, not the kids playing on it.

I'm the one who's let go of adolescence, unlike yourself, to state it plainly.

[MagnetoSound]

Jeez Edvaard, what the hell is up with you?

To be using this thread just for the purpose of making a prolonged personal attack on another member (- for what? -) is quite unacceptable behaviour in my opinion, and pretty insulting to the rest of us.

Do you really think that anybody wants to see you conduct yourself in this way? And what do you expect us to think about it?

If you're tired, take a break man, get some sleep, come down or whatever you need to do to return to the land of the living. This is just sad.

Get well soon.

Perfect!  I think I may have finally found the title of my next record.

At the release party, I'll have a slide shaped like an elbow, and have post menopausal women sliding down it with naughty looks on their faces.

All the children will be in the other room, watching people get their heads blown off in PG rated movies, but at least none of the bleeding corpses will allude to human sexuality in any way.

Will that be all right?

Yes, the violence thing is another issue.

No,  it's not - and if you'll indulge me a bit longer, I'll try (almost certainly futilely) to explain why.

Quote:

You are correct... Clearly, you do not understand either sex or violence.  In fact, they are very closely related, both being based entirely on empathy.  The one on the presence, and the other on the absence.

The simple truth is that you DID come across as a prude, because you ARE a prude.

It is important to note that you are NOT a prude because you feel a certain physical revulsion toward a phallus shaped children's slide  -  you are a prude because your personal Belief system prevents your understanding of the clear link between the vilification of human sexuality and the glorification of human violence.

The one is the direct result of the other.

I will repeat that, because it bears repeating.

The one is the direct result of the other.

Institutionalized solipsism.  It really does go a long distance toward controlling how you think and act and react.

Believe it or not (and you have already demonstrated that you do not), the inability to grasp this simple truth is at the root of much of the world's grief, and the longer we force our children to Believe otherwise, the longer we force them them to repeat the same mistakes.

And the more I think about it, the more I think I really will write an album call "Playground Penis".  Alliterative genius, that.

Your efforts will not be futile, I assure you.

"You are correct... Clearly, you do not understand either sex or violence.  In fact, they are very closely related, both being based entirely on empathy.  The one on the presence, and the other on the absence."


OK, you "got" me on this one. I have never understood sex or violence, as pertains to "entertainment", but,  if you choose to limit discussion of either item to the world of "entertainment", then, again I'm lost, and you win the game.

"The simple truth is that you DID come across as a prude, because you ARE a prude.

Oh really? The "clear link" you allude to is based perfectly upon YOUR belief system, not mine.

(man, I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed things since becoming a virtual anarchist, )



"The one is the direct result of the other.

I will repeat that, because it bears repeating.

The one is the direct result of the other."


Thank you, that explains your own "beleif system" so well.

And, like so many belief systems, it needs to be repeated, repeatedly, for effect.




"Institutionalized solipsism.  It really does go a long distance toward controlling how you think and act and react.

Believe it or not (and you have already demonstrated that you do not), the inability to grasp this simple truth is at the root of much of the world's grief, and the longer we force our children to Believe otherwise, the longer we force them them to repeat the same mistakes."


So now, my inability to "grasp" mainstream media, or take them at their word, constitutes just what, now?

If you can make any sense out of all that, you'd be the first.


Sorry, but this is all just TOO funny.

You make some large presumption, when any other point of view "startles" you too much, and you then flail about, trying to point to "religion", at the first stroke of someone going against your cherished ideals?

Mainstream media has accomplished the task well, is all I can say.


Read any of my other posts here regarding the war, or the bailout, then tell me again how my "beleif" system is any worse than yours.

I haven't been to church in decades, but I was just born with whatever sensibilities I have, sorry to all here, however much such "understandings" might trouble others.

If your "Belief" system has you so rigidly on one side or another, I'm sorry, but you've been suckered into the scam.

Your efforts at trying to pull me into all that are hereby summarily rebuffed.

As to your efforts towards over simplification, especially as regards such convenience (not to mention contrivance) as tying repulsion of sex-for-entertainment to admiration of violence (so completely of your own making there), again, you've struck out.

Get used to it, your ideological convenience is not my concern.



And, if you expect that retention or not of the sensibilities of a 15 yr. old boy well into adulthood marks one as a target, then consider me so painted, on the 'not' side of it.

[sugar21]

Here's my point of the world. Straight from a comics mouth...

It's now time to celebrate adultery, porn, misconduct, Manson want-to-bes. . .If it's disgusting, disturbing, full of NO self-control or lack of manners...the world is turning onto it.

We can now go into the grocery store, head to the deli and poopoo. We can't say its' wrong because someone is 'expressing themselves'.

We can't say don't eat the shit b/c its colorful that makes you a hater. And the person using the word is the one spewing the hate but can't see it. (didn't you see the venom coming out with that word) and they ate the shit is still stuck to their forehead.

And if your shoe needs tied so you don't trip, we now let the person trip down the 30 flights of stairs then laugh at them.
