$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'R')owante,
I have ever so much more predilection to view any system of human consciousness that organizes intention into bureaucracies and institutions as a death knell to future generations than my peers, that most often, there is very little common ground. It becomes, in the end, an issue of how we sift, winnow and sort perceptions into the grand mosaic we tacitly call Reality.


lol people...

TRANSLATION:

Every "position" held by any group is independent of that group's stated agenda, and "grouping" these concepts detracts from the actual point of the individual position.

:)
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Chuck', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('EnviroEngr', 'B')ut, seriously though: If y'all want me to be an asset in a different, kinder, gentler, easier-to-understand, more readable sort of way, for crissakes, Just Ask!


Please EnviroEngr can you write in an easier to understand way? I have started reading some of your posts, but quit after a while because of your difficult langauge. Sort of Heidegger-feeling.


Here's what will make the best use of my time: Go to the threads you want rewritten, paste in the link like this http://www.peakoil.com/fortopic3266-0.html , and copy a little piece out of the copy like so "I have ever so much more predilection to view any system of human consciousness", all on this thread, and I'll check here periodically and redo the ones I see.

Now, here's the question (and I'll expand on this more later): Assuming non-technical, general prose, which style best suits? Journalistic, Short Story, Bullet Descriptions / Outline Form, Street or Explanatory? Let me know in your request how you would best understand and relate to the subject by specifying one of these and I'll put the rewrite in that form.

Aaron,

That's insightfully well done. We must be smoking the same stuff. Maybe we should share the pipe with others! :lol:

Now why didn't I think of that! Let me just readjust my thinking cap a bit and pass me that pipe. (inhales)..............(coughs) Wow, 'sgood shit! Now where was I? oh yeah, translations! I got these predilections, y'know? Nobody gets it. Consciousness is like turned into like institutions and its gonna kill us sooner or later! Dig it, you gotta sift it dude. Reality, y'know. Wow check out the [/I]MOSAIC[I]!

It wasn't an ad hominem attack, it was an ad verbi attack. I think it would be a gas to hear you try a street style. Is that within your reach? And what did you mean you will expand on this later?

At some point here, once I get the general discussion style down, I am hoping to carry this to the other areas of the site as well. When I do, I'd have to move to a two tier system of style selection. The upper tier would be the topic subject area and the lower would be an applicable array of styles that could be used for each subject.

When I get to that point, I'll expand on this line of thought.


On Street, I'll find some threads where that would turn out well and give it a shot; oh, I know: a Guns thread.
