Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I am writing an 8 page assignment on 4chan.

It is hilarious describing 4chan and /b/ as a media and trying to analyse "memes" and "the internet hate machine" while keeping a serious tone.
Never thought I was going to get to use the term "internet superheroes" in a uni paper

We have a very enthusiastic teacher but I don't think she really understood what I was talking about when I pitched the idea.

But when I told her that I wanted to write about a site that more less represents the anti-thesis of the Facebook and MySpace culture, she was practically gushing. Which I guess is natural since 80% of the class was doing those kinds of projects.

I told her that the content of the site would be deemed "offensive" in a normal social setting, but that didn't really seem to phase her.

EDIT: I am currently writing a section about the pervasiveness of the internet meme using RIckrolling as the case example. Should I include a youtube link in the notes do you think?

Better yet. Include the note before mentioning rickrolling.

Anyway, what is making me feel good is that THERE IS A SECOND CONSECUTIVE 13+ PLAYER MAFIA GAME ROLLING.

This Falos?

Quote

Falos is the alias for an unnamed 1337 located somewhere in the western USA.
The origin of the handle was supplied from his cousin when deciding on a character name for the SNES game Secret of Evermore at a young age. Discovering undesirable phonetic/linguistic ties years later, he considered "Khias" as an alternative, but was too entrenched with Falos and decided the effort wasn't worthwhile.
Falos is an inhabitant of various websites and has contributed to the web in a number of ways. He has a personal homepage, long dead since early 2004.
Falos is an amateur cartoonist, and runs Jim-Bob Comics, which updates rarely and has been half-dead since early 2005. Falos believes that someday it might be a real comic, and kept JBC on life support status, which is still going on currently (October 26, 2006).
Falos is a traceur, one who believes in the core values and frowns upon FSW/FSR degeneration, and considers an urban environment crucial.
Falos is a passionate gamer, started from the NES era. He is against the idea of the modern gaming corpotations neglecting the traditional gamer demographic, and spending resources to try and milk the casual gamer audience, attempting to charge money for flash-level games such as Tetris and Bejeweled. He doesn't favor racers, sport'ers, or wrestlers, while enjoying FPS shooters, fighters, platformers, and being particular to Action/Adventure and RPGs.
Falos is an amateur pianist, with poor skill at sightreading sheet music, and typically playing from memory. A large portion of his current songs are in progress and unfinished at any given time. He enjoys VG music, which often turns out to be done by Nobuo Uematsu. One piece of note is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, of which the first movement has been completed.

Because it is in the greek alphabet, and that confuses people?
Anyway, don't call me a heathen... I'm not a native speaker either.

Phallic symbols.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
