"The need to speak, even if one has nothing to say, becomes more pressing when one has nothing to say, just as the will to live becomes more pressing when life has lost its meaning."

[Oh, Gee!!]

define "pressing."

[Winehole23]

Baudrillard's supposed profundities can usually be boiled to down to amenable cliches and commonplaces.

for example, in this case: "absence makes the heart grow fonder"

Is that image of Arnold real, or fake?

I agree, but that doesn't mean it is. I take it you don't know for sure.

Real, from the 70s when he was competing. He was full of injected steroids, so some marijuana was nothing. (even without other drugs, marijuana is nothing :) )

Describes 24-hour cable news networks pretty well, imo.

Know for sure? No. I don't know for sure. Looks like a damn fine job if it isn't.

Disagree, with both parts. Of course, that statement can be interpreted many ways. The need as viewed by the individual may not be the same as the "need" as we usually define it. (For instance, most people would say I don't "need" a Ferrari, but I might believe I need it.)

I'm not saying he never smoked it. I know he admitted to that. I'm saying the video is fake.

OK, I stand corrected.

It's pretty well known on the intertronz that the vid is very real.

Your judgment of what is and isn't real/correct remains unimpeachable :)

You're becoming an ankle biter I see. At least I admit I was wrong.

Not Really, but there is so much vile insinuations even the little ones get tiring.

You seem to be getting more and more paraniod of the VLWC lately. Have you been listening to too much Glenn Beck?

No. I rarely watch TV, cut my cable service long ago because of that fact. I rely on an antenna for some local news, and watch Netflix when I want to see something other than my DVD/BluRay collection.

How am I paranoid of the lefties? The damage is already done to this nation. Not much worse can happen now than will already happen. I don't see any way of stopping this nations doom. The entitlement mentality of both major sides rule the elections.

Define gentle.
