The blue glow of their Heads Up Displays lit up the decompression bay. &amp;nbsp;Their bodies moved with the unhurried grace of professionals, who had clearly done this before. &amp;nbsp;Well, most of them did, My own partner seemed to be having problems moving about. I hoped it was just nerves. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The rest of the blue dots moved towards the rectangular airlock, while a voice counted down. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;“5…4… 3..” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Outside the window, there were stars, clearer than ever, with no pollution or air to make them shimmer. They stood there, pinpricks of light from millions of miles away. No one glanced out the window as they completed weapons checks. We’d had months to get used to the view. &amp;nbsp;Ahead of me, I could almost pick out Hadley Station, the white, pre-fab buildings catching the raw glare of the sun, bouncing off its golden solar shielding. That station was about to be the first moves in our first Space War. Glancing back, I saw my home for the last day, the ISA shuttle; &lt;i&gt;Destiny. &lt;/i&gt;Black tiles gleamed with an illogical sheen, as if someone had been mopping and cleaning them, and as I drifted further away from her, I could see the scars of micrometeorites, one of many hazards she had protected us against. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;“Decompression cycle complete, Airlocks open” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I felt the airlock doors open, the vibrations moving through the metal plating of the deck. One by one, the men, activated their thrusters and hurtled towards the rocks that formed our objective. &amp;nbsp;The deck still vibrating from their departure, I followed suit. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;“Squad Audiolink Online”.. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;At first, static filled my helmet, as I activated my own thrusters and headed out into the void. Usually, One would get a dizzying sense of vertigo, as if the ground had fallen away, but months of training had gotten rid of all the queasiness of space flight. &amp;nbsp;The voices of my teammates filled my ears, the tinny chorus somewhat reassuring. One by one they checked in, before the radio was mostly silent. In space, radio transmissions can give away your position as surely as tracer fire. Not a good thought to be having on any mission. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;“Audio simulation online”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;A series of lights lit up my arm panel, indicating that my radar and laser targeting system had come online, already detecting the other astronauts and dozens of micrometeorites. Using thrusters, I brought myself towards the nearest set of rocks, watching, and listening for any sound of enemy fire. Normally there is no sound in space, but developments in laser radar and computer-assisted tracking systems had allowed real-time movements of meteorites and bullets to be translated into passable audio simulations. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;An observer would see dozens of flashing blue lights, as we all moved off our shuttle in formation. The same observer would have noticed those lights cut out as momentum carried us towards the tinier specks of light in the distance. In space, the difference between life and death could be in the tiny gaps between thruster bursts. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Moving in groups of two, the astro-commandos, moved from asteroid to asteroid, lit up only by the light from the thrusters of the man next to them. My partner was a rookie named “Raj”, hindi for King, which is his real last name. He copped a fair bit of shit about it since he came from an upper class family.&amp;nbsp; We both linked up above one of the pre-fab structures that once housed engineering equipment for the arduous task of mining the moon. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;So far so good. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Hovering there like little specks above the boxy white-washed structures, the teams of astro-commandos swiftly maneuvered for entry. Stacking up against one door at a time, we would attach explosive charges to each airlock entry. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Raj’s fingers stumbled in attaching the charge. Calmly, giving no hint that he almost actually blown us both away into the depths of space, I guided his hand to the plastic tab marked ADHESIVE. &amp;nbsp;His arm felt stiff, probably because of the suit. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;“Easy there, Attach the bottom adhesive first, then Arm the charge”. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Faceplates being what they are, I couldn’t tell if he was annoyed or relieved that I intervened. I hoped for the latter. &amp;nbsp;Backing up against the wall,I waited for him to pull the ARM tab, when his head exploded. &amp;nbsp;It wasn’t an explosion like you see in those old action flicks from the noughties, but more like the outgassing of a wounded hot-air balloon. The hole is his faceplate let loose globules of blood, like those bubbles in lava-lamps back on earth. Bits of bone and brain matter smeared against my own faceplate. King was clearly dead, but his body would float forever in space. All this happened in the space of a few seconds. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Without thinking, I grabbed hold of his body to prevent him from floating away, when I noticed the gaping hole where his faceplate used to be.&amp;nbsp; Shit. Looks like there would another one for the micrometeorites. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Tracers flew over my head, looking like little shooting stars, with a point of light, and a nice vapour trail. Guns in space were completely different from your standard firearm. Basically miniature railgun in design, the bullet was twice as large as a .50 cal round on Earth, almost the size of a man’s hand. The SAR-51, or “Potholer”, as it was known by its unlucky victim, accelerates it’s highly conducive projectile using overlapping electromagnetic fields, to over 2.4 meters per second, about 7 times the speed of sound. Of course, that distinction is lost in space, save for the giant gaping hole it leaves in people.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;As I pressed against the wall, bright glaring flares of light sprung up here and there, men dying as their microfusion tanks exploded. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;I thrusted closer to the wall of the pre-fab, pulled the ARM tab myself and waited. A bright yellow glow started around the edge of the blast charge. Unlike the “Frame charges” used back on earth, this did not use det-cord, but a powerful acid, ignited by the incendiary chemical lined along its edges. &amp;nbsp;Had the late Raj set of the incendiary without sticking it to something, we could have been blown off into space. If that weren’t enough, detonations are dangerous in space, sending fragments everywhere at high velocities. While the chances of a “natural” micrometeorite hitting you in space are remote, man made ones are a whole other matter. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The charge evaporated in a ball of gaseous vapour , taking the door with it. Tracers still flew outside. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;After all that effort, I was in.

We can rationalize anything, anywhere, anytime. We can convince ourselves that it is good to murder Jews, Palestinians or Tutsi. Indeed, given enough of a nudge in the right direction, based on half-truths and myth, we can convince ourselves that WAR, is good. (e.g. War on Terror).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming back to House, it seems that nearly every show has a disillusioned husband, wife, mother, son, father, niece, or close friend. I began to think, that really, they shouldn't be shocked. Everyone has secrets, everyone lies. Everyone hides. and Everyone dies.. (hey that rhymes).. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lies go two ways, We convince ourselves that we know the other person well enough that they would trust us with their secrets too. We lie to ourselves in the face of all logic. One lie could not succeed without the help of an another. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, If Wife &amp;amp; Kids think husband can't have AIDS, it's because that not knowing their father/husband would mean some implicit de-efficiency in ourselves. It would mean we do not know them as we'd like to think. So we deny that they could have AIDS. Because we, ultimately, do not want to feel bad about ourselves, when logically, it's not even our fault. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hell, I don't know. No one does. Cue "It's the human condition" explanation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8500650113998885593-5261816529085282463?l=challenger78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/feeds/5261816529085282463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8500650113998885593&amp;postID=5261816529085282463' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/5261816529085282463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/5261816529085282463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/2010/05/lies.html' title='Lies.'/><author><name>M.Muzahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01129829920940658063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IDcO6vOwErc/S_51VOify1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/2ypCqgvvibM/s72-c/half-life_gregory_freeman_aka_gordon_house_thumb%5B3%5D.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500650113998885593.post-3771317414915055272</id><published>2010-05-21T17:35:00.000+10:00</published><updated>2010-05-21T17:35:32.688+10:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Society'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Social commentary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='facebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='earth'/><title type='text'>Social Pressures.</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta content="text/html;

font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I suppose it’s typical, that as a young adult, social pressures would inevitably become a major issue in life. It is after all, the stage where our place in the world is most clearly not defined. That uncertainty of where our lives will lead results us in looking to others for inspiration and guidance. We look to our parents, our peers, the television, and almost everywhere but ourselves. We often do things that don’t make us happy, but we convince ourselves that they do. We see what’s “cool” and not “cool”. This is of course, a worst case scenario. Most of us have a limit as to the impact of society on our lives. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;But that line is fast becoming blurred. Most of us have a “me” time/zone, and area where we don’t have to watch what we say, what we do, or how we do it.&amp;nbsp; Some of us, unfortunately, do not. But one must ask the question, How many of my hobbies, interests and attitudes are formed by my own mind? How much has been drummed into me by society, and how much is my own conscious decision? &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Are my attributes merely the product of genes? Do I choose to do the right thing because I want to? Or because society demands it ? Is there a fundamental aspect that is unique to each individual, one that used to be called a “soul”?&amp;nbsp; Do we have free will ? What is this festering presence on earth called humanity? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;One could simply not care about societal norms, and as tempting as it is to say “FUCK YOU” to society, in large bloodred letters, Very rarely, do people actually avoid engaging with others. One could go live in a mountain cave somewhere, and not be seen or heard from, but then one would be devoid of all the benefits of society.&amp;nbsp; It finally dawns that, increased contact with society is the result of technological advances. The very same technological advances that I cannot do without. So while i can sit here and rant about how people take facebook too seriously, and that we can no longer truly know who we are, or who everyone else is, and that life is very much like a play, with everyone wearing masks in different scenes. &amp;nbsp;In the end, i will probably go and become a productive member of society, because I am human. I will end up adopting the same hypocrisies, the same emphasis on the superficial, the same sense of social ineptitude that we are all eager to hide. I will do all that because I cannot comprehend what it is like to live without a computer, running water, or electricity.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;And in a fittingly Bathetic end to this blog post, I will apologise to my imagined audience, that the internet bandwith has been capped, and hence the delay. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Oh, and here’s some pictures. It occurs to me that beyond childhood, we never comprehend "the big picture" That we are just on a planet, and our trivial concerns are just a few of 6 Billion. Most of them are the same as the other 6 billion, just with different dressings. We are not unique. We are the product of cause and effect. Only few of us can change the world. The rest of us have to deal with it.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fantasy-and-art.com/wp-content/gallery/nature-wallpapers/hd-space-wallpaper.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="16" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.fantasy-and-art.com/wp-content/gallery/nature-wallpapers/hd-space-wallpaper.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hellasmarine.com/_borders/Earth%20at%20night.bmp" imageanchor="1" linkindex="17" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="165" src="http://www.hellasmarine.com/_borders/Earth%20at%20night.bmp" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8500650113998885593-3771317414915055272?l=challenger78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/feeds/3771317414915055272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8500650113998885593&amp;postID=3771317414915055272' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/3771317414915055272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/3771317414915055272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/2010/05/social-pressures.html' title='Social Pressures.'/><author><name>M.Muzahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01129829920940658063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500650113998885593.post-6809791379317021930</id><published>2010-05-12T08:38:00.005+10:00</published><updated>2010-05-12T08:45:23.394+10:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Society'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Social commentary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='etc'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='facebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='twitter'/><title type='text'>Facebook, twitter, and society</title><content type='html'>Good morning,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some inane reason, my body clock decided to wake me up at 6 am, probably due to my severely screwed up circadian rhythm. Maybe it's the fact that I organise events on facebook (fb), or that I'm staying at home alone, but I couldn't help but log on, and check my facebook, instead of rolling over and trying to get some more sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the whole concept behind social media, is not that people care, or that people want to connect, but rather that people are afraid. People are afraid that there aren't others like themselves out there. People are afraid of being alone, or different, and being the only one, who say, has a habit of (to take an example off fb), "counting the hours you have to sleep before you sleep".. Ok, that would be a minor fear. Granted, the majority of fb users aren't quaking in fear/maudlin emotions.. oh wait. Anywho, my point is, if you take away all the social pressure and gossip to be on facebook, at the core of it all, is a human desire to belong. But do we really belong there ?&lt;br /&gt;I know that a similar thing about dehumanisation was said of SMS, and twitter and the internet in general.&amp;nbsp; To a certain extent, they are true.&amp;nbsp; However, some forums get along well and community members have no qualms about telling others that they post there, in real life. But an online presence is not the same thing as an actual presence and here's where my theory gets interesting, While excess fb usage is a fear of being alone, an actual social gathering requires effort, and carries the potential for awkward situations. So, fb usage is a combination of fear of being alone, and a fear of being rejected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fb is society in a microcosm, and an intensification of fears and hopes that dominate our normal lives. Often, people don't know how to react to the immediacy of fb, and twitter, and either play it safe, or go above and beyond the call to "be yourself".. We have manufactured fb personalities, and while we would like to believe that everyone is acting honestly in our everyday environments, we know that to be impossible. We put on a face when we go to work, school, mosque, gym. We want to make ourselves look good. Certainly, these concerns aren't at the forefront of our mind, but they certainly do form a great part of our motivations..&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for someone who has just recently moved Cities, I can understand the feeling of non-belonging, but I also accept that there are some groups that you do not want to belong to. Clearly, for me, I would prefer to belong to a group that did not organise, and revolve around facebook. Hell, even texting, I consider to be closer personal contact than tweeting or fb. Fb has it's uses, but is not personal, and only an illusion/chimera?/ (insert fancy term for cure that only works for a short while), for our fear of loneliness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, we all die alone, and nothing can change that. Having said all that, I still find my fb usage spiked when I moved, until i realised that my friends back in sydney probably had better things to do, and could not possibly respond to every tag that I had. So the only solution for me is to engage with friends I have here, while using fb to keep in occasional touch with people over there. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done, because physical interactivity requires a lot more effort and risk than typing away on a keyboard..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8500650113998885593-6809791379317021930?l=challenger78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/feeds/6809791379317021930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8500650113998885593&amp;postID=6809791379317021930' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/6809791379317021930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/6809791379317021930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/2010/05/facebook-twitter-and-society.html' title='Facebook, twitter, and society'/><author><name>M.Muzahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01129829920940658063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500650113998885593.post-3642091265404017371</id><published>2010-05-07T12:40:00.001+10:00</published><updated>2010-05-10T03:34:46.005+10:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alienation ?'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reorgranize'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New Start'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fresh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='facebook'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='re-group'/><title type='text'>Wow.. didn't think this would still exist</title><content type='html'>&amp;nbsp;It occurred to me (rather forcefully, thanks to my friends) that facebook is no longer a space to express my thoughts as freely as possible while still ensuring that they get heard outside of my own head. It also was impressed upon me by the same friends that, my thoughts are not welcome on their walls. Hence, facebook does not, or rather, your friends do not want to know, what's on your mind, unless it's funny, important, or work related.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To a certain extent that is understandable, but I ask this, No one is asking you to read my wall, or even include me in your newsfeed. Furthermore, If you do strike me from your precious friends list, I'm not going to go all superficial on you and suddenly not speak to you in real life, or as they say on the internet, IRL.&amp;nbsp; I generally do not think about anything that I post on FB, because I didn't think that people took it seriously. Evidently, I was wrong. I make this blog post for two reasons, To put down my thoughts in a medium that is available, but not ubiquitous, i.e. something that doesn't appear on peoples walls unless they choose to, and to ensure that I maintain some form of record, of the paltry existence that is my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To this end, I have resolved to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Post Once a week, and ONLY once a week, barring holidays.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make my posts as coherent and non-context specific as possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To limit my posts to a general subject area.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;I recognize that no one may see this post, and that I may eventually give up on this adventure, but It is , as they say, A start.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8500650113998885593-3642091265404017371?l=challenger78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/feeds/3642091265404017371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8500650113998885593&amp;postID=3642091265404017371' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/3642091265404017371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/3642091265404017371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/2010/05/wow-didnt-think-this-would-still-exist.html' title='Wow.. didn&apos;t think this would still exist'/><author><name>M.Muzahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01129829920940658063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500650113998885593.post-6013393551931875087</id><published>2008-07-31T19:40:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2008-07-31T19:43:43.582+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Left wing radicals ?

(If anyone from the AAFC is reading this, note this is my personal opinion, not those of the AAFC). Seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also could be people adopting a wait and see attitude. Obviously one of them is not me. I'm going bright, and I'm going to go out with a bang. If i have to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, I've been at this rank for 2 years now, and the people below me are ready to take over soon. I owe it to them to tell them the way things work, and to ensure that the people below me get the best i can offer them. They deserve better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, I'm standing by my opinion. If the AIR force cadets places more value on Fieldcraft than aircraft, then it's not the place for me. If it values charisma, sweettalking, and bludging more than blood,sweat and tears.

Yes, his reports are filled with reports of death and destruction. But it's death that the US, Directly or indirectly CAUSED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need people like Dahr to go out there and see what the rest of us are too scared to see or even read about. the same is true even for me.

And, although Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ( I wonder who said that), It's just not their thing. Sure there are woman soldiers, but that doesn't mean that all girls like violence.. Thus leading to popular stereotypes... (ie, dutch, bull dyke marines.. etc. ) but thats died down in recent years as the idea of a woman holding a rifle doesn't seem too bad, as long as she kills the enemy, and not her husband.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although..- "Nothing beats a woman that you have to salute in the morning" ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;iframe id="AnswersBalloonIframe" src="javascript:false" style="border: medium none ; z-index: 99998; position: absolute; width: 490px; height: 306px; visibility: hidden; background-color: transparent; top: 205px; left: -23px; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div style="width: 490px; position: absolute; visibility: hidden; z-index: 99999; text-align: left; top: 181px; left: -23px;" id="AnswersBalloon"&gt;&lt;div id="AnswerTipHook" style="background-image: url(http://www.answers.com/main/images/hook-topL.gif); width: 67px; height: 24px; margin-left: 25px; position: relative; top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="AnswersHeader"&gt;&lt;div class="AnswersHeaderInner" id="AnswersHandle0" style="cursor: move;" handlefor="AnswersBalloon"&gt;&lt;div class="AnswersHeader1"&gt;&lt;a style="float: right;" onclick="var ac = document.getElementById('answertipClose'); if (ac) ac.innerHTML='close'; else window.status='close'; return true;"&gt;&lt;img id="AnswersCloseImage" style="margin-right: 10px; position: relative; cursor: pointer; left: 456px; width: 10px;" alt="Close" src="http://www.answers.com/main/images/close.gif" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a id="AnswertipMore" target="AnswersQueryWindow" onclick="var ac = document.getElementById('answertipClose'); if (ac) ac.innerHTML='close'; else window.status='close';return true;" style="float: right; text-decoration: none; visibility: hidden; padding-right: 10px; margin-top: 9px;"&gt;&lt;span class="AnswersHeader3"&gt; Read more &gt;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a id="AnswertipOptions" onclick="var ac = document.getElementById('answertipClose'); if (ac) ac.innerHTML='options'; else window.status='options';return true;" style="float: right; text-decoration: none; padding-right: 10px; margin-top: 9px; cursor: pointer;"&gt;&lt;span class="AnswersHeader3"&gt; Options &gt;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a style="float: left;" href="http://www.answers.com"&gt;&lt;img id="AnswersLogoImage" style="" alt="Visit Answers.com" src="http://www.answers.com/main/images/answers-logo.gif" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="Answers_frame" class="AnswersContentFrame"&gt;&lt;table id="Balloontable2" class="donotmoveme" style="width: 480px; float: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div id="Answertip" style="overflow: hidden; height: 235px; width: 473px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="answertipClose" style="display: none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="AnswersFooter" id="Answers_footer"&gt;&lt;div style="width: 470px; height: 22px; float: left;"&gt;&lt;iframe id="AnswersAds" allowtransparency="true" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; width: 100%; height: 22px;" src="http://www.answers.com/main/tip2.jsp?s=male%20act%2C%20rapacious%2C%20extreme%20&amp;amp;wt=1&amp;amp;nafid=&amp;amp;cobrand=" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8500650113998885593-1176778793672714070?l=challenger78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/feeds/1176778793672714070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8500650113998885593&amp;postID=1176778793672714070' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/1176778793672714070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/1176778793672714070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/2007/12/but-its-true-girls-dont-play-video.html' title='But Its true, Girls don&apos;t play video games...'/><author><name>M.Muzahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01129829920940658063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500650113998885593.post-2794724161406838074</id><published>2007-12-06T23:05:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2007-12-06T23:06:33.764+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Fragging..</title><content type='html'>This is so fucking true...

I'm not knowledgable in my hobby/job, I'm not particularly fit, I'm not adept at ONE skill required. (just one)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, I still try. Which is more than the other candidate can say. He is skilled and fit, but He doesn't try or adhere to the objectives of the organisation. But he lacks discipline and EXPerience. Which i have.  Alright, so the others don't really respect me that much but it still should have been me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as I looked around tonight, Neither do any of the higher rank, or staff.  That doesn't make sense at all. They should embody what the organization wants them to represent. Lead by example. And if you've got a corrupt head of state, you'll have a corrupt state.  Power corrupts ( I've only taken One can of Pepsi .. I swear) .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also , It turns out scamming teachers is useful, My presentation on War on Democracy, Was brilliant, according to the teacher. (I had it organized in my mind...

It's vital to stop WWIII ... Dude, WWIII is going to be the world against the US.. (wishful thinking, I know) .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, So for all those that listen to Faux News (Fox..)

However, not many people are aware that it is a farce.&lt;br /&gt;All it does is allow the US to plant bases on our soil, on the pretense of security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason it is false is because :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;Each Party recognizes that an armed attack in the Pacific Area on any of the Parties would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional processes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Note that it says "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt; its constitutional processes&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;", that means that the President of the great US, If he doesn't like us, doesn't have to help us, unless his bases are threatened. So unless the Chinese army, steps on the bases of the great Uncle Sam, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO DO SHIT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;So you Australians, out there, keep listening to FOX news telling you to keep an eye out for terrorists, or Today Tonight telling you that Uncle sam is looking over you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;WELL he isn't, dumbasses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8500650113998885593-6383638660458806977?l=challenger78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/feeds/6383638660458806977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8500650113998885593&amp;postID=6383638660458806977' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/6383638660458806977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/6383638660458806977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/2007/12/anzus-i-mean-anus-treaty.html' title='The ANZUS, I mean ANUS treaty.'/><author><name>M.Muzahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01129829920940658063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500650113998885593.post-5419446524789677348</id><published>2007-12-01T13:44:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2007-12-01T13:49:22.920+11:00</updated><title type='text'>I is n000b</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;How could I have been so stupid ? , Leaving me open to attack from all directions in a public forum(the interweb) From both people that know me and don't know me..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;I is a giant, dammn &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;n00b. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;I knew i shouldn't have published this address onto msn, ah shit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Now they know EVERYTHING, all my darkest thoughts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;See, Now is the bit where i go..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;great, Now they know that I'm sick of my job and that Oliver North and Fox are total bullshit...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;So from now on, I'll only be posting about world news that pisses me off enough to write about it..

That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around. What do you see. Business men, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.

Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself.

Most of them are jocks, and assholes who don't really care about anyone but themselves.&lt;br /&gt;Others that do care are reasonable, nice people, but don't really know much about the world they live in.  amongst all of them , there are a few precious jems, the intelligent ones, and amongst those, there are those that can be intelligent and play sport at the same time.. OMG..&lt;br /&gt;I know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, to the above bunch of people, How do you make Latin America and all its issues, as mentioned in the film War on Democracy, by John Pilger ( It's a intellectual film), Interesting ?&lt;br /&gt;Seriously ? I'm boned.&lt;br /&gt;Ok, I was thinking of mentioning cocaine as in connection to Latin America (Columbia, Eucador etc) but i don't think the teachers would approve.. So, I guess my presentation will be a Straight A boring as shit presentation about the purpose and analysis of Pilger. John, I'm sorry, I couldn't educate these ignorant (some are nice though) people.. They just don't give a shit.  Besides, what the hell are they gonna do about Chavez as a dictator ? (of course, The people in Venezuela will kill him if he becomes one) .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, thanks to bg for the comment..

Or whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, while I still have time, (I just finished year 10) I've got alot of time, 2 weeks of time, until i fly off into the sunset, and buy the farm. Just kidding, I'd never be that ridiculously American.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since i got myself started on Americans, I'll stop. Before the CIA gets me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because i don't like americans, know how to fly and have access to fuel tanks , doesn't mean that I'm a terrorist. Seriously, ever go to a gas station ? I mean Petrol station ? , Yeah, fuel tanks there too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O, and heres another reason to lock me in guantanamo, I like Michael Moore's films, and live in a country with federalized healthcare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See, I started and finished my self on Americans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, onto more about America. ... Hey, Its not my fault i know more about it than the country of my birth, BLAME IT ALL on CAPITALISM.. comrades. .. I mean, Citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and just to give you even more hints about which country I'm in, well, We just elected a Labour govt. who loves americans almost as much as the previous govt. Great work..dipshit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great work by microsoft, in whose blogs/spaces, you can't swear at without being censored, so what if so dipshit in the CIA is watching my every move. I'm an egotistical bastard. As much as I'd like to pretend that I'm not really that bad ( and i'm not) I can't without somehow contradicting myself in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously speaking, If you want to find an egotistical bastard, grab your nearest male human being, Or yourself, (just don't grab you're own penis), Kick him in the nuts, and watch him bendover, then, when he tries to exact revenge, you have your proof.  Females are slightly less egotistical, but the same procedure works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, where were we ? Ah yes, Americans. The single race/country ever to drop an atomic bomb, ruin millions of lives, save thousands, and then ruin millions more. Then of course, save thousand again.  The single country on the planet which has been the subject of a lot of comedian's acts recently. Why ? Well, for starters, Your President sucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"We cannot let terrorists and rogue nations, hold this nation hostile, or our allies hostile"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Or what about that time he confused Austria with Australia, I mean like WTF ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We Australians have licked the shit out of your ass for the last 80 or so years, Kyoto, Vietnam, Korea, Israel.  We've been by your side since the fall of Singapore. And you couldn't even get the damn name right. Or the names of so many places, including the Opera House. Jeez, Is it a wonder, Ladies and gentlemen( and advertising bots) that we think so lowly of you Americans ?  This man is meant to be the representative of the &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;GLORIOUS&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;USA,&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;the same country that bailed us out of cold water in WWII. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, We're not stupid enough to privatise our healthcare or ban the communist party, But we're plenty stupid to believe that the ANZUS (Sorry ANUS) Alliance is gonna do us good.&lt;br /&gt;I mean ,give us some credit, we can locate Hong Kong and &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Singapore&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;rom a world map, &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;WITHOUT HELP.  &lt;/span&gt;(probably coz most of us are from there)  O, did i mention We can locate INDIA and the USA and UK on a map too ? We're a smart people, and we're grateful for it, Unless you're one of the country bogans who love pauline hansen. People with access to the interweb usually aren't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, If you did have trouble reading the above posts, It's because Americans are a nice generous people ,who are easily mislead, but have penchant for holding riots with guns, So don't get caught misleading them (easy enough).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN ALL SERIOUSNESS. AMERICANS ARE NICE - CIA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe id="AnswersBalloonIframe" src="javascript:false" style="border: medium none ; z-index: 99998; position: absolute; width: 490px; height: 306px; visibility: hidden; background-color: transparent; top: 104px; left: 21px; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div style="width: 490px; position: absolute; visibility: hidden; z-index: 99999; text-align: left; top: 80px; left: 21px;" id="AnswersBalloon"&gt;&lt;div id="AnswerTipHook" style="background-image: url(http://www.answers.com/main/images/hook-topR.gif); width: 67px; height: 24px; margin-left: 400px; position: relative; top: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="AnswersHeader"&gt;&lt;div class="AnswersHeaderInner" id="AnswersHandle0" style="cursor: move;" handlefor="AnswersBalloon"&gt;&lt;div class="AnswersHeader1"&gt;&lt;a style="float: right;" onclick="var ac = document.getElementById('answertipClose'); if (ac) ac.innerHTML='close'; else window.status='close'; return true;"&gt;&lt;img id="AnswersCloseImage" style="margin-right: 10px; position: relative; cursor: pointer;" alt="Close" src="http://www.answers.com/main/images/close.gif" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a id="AnswertipMore" target="AnswersQueryWindow" onclick="var ac = document.getElementById('answertipClose'); if (ac) ac.innerHTML='close'; else window.status='close';return true;" style="float: right; text-decoration: none; visibility: hidden; padding-right: 10px; margin-top: 9px;"&gt;&lt;span class="AnswersHeader3"&gt; Read more &gt;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a id="AnswertipOptions" onclick="var ac = document.getElementById('answertipClose'); if (ac) ac.innerHTML='options'; else window.status='options';return true;" style="float: right; text-decoration: none; padding-right: 10px; margin-top: 9px; cursor: pointer;"&gt;&lt;span class="AnswersHeader3"&gt; Options &gt;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a style="float: left;" href="http://www.answers.com"&gt;&lt;img id="AnswersLogoImage" style="" alt="Visit Answers.com" src="http://www.answers.com/main/images/answers-logo.gif" align="top" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="Answers_frame" class="AnswersContentFrame"&gt;&lt;table id="Balloontable2" class="donotmoveme" style="width: 480px; float: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;div id="Answertip" style="overflow: hidden; height: 235px; width: 473px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="answertipClose" style="display: none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="AnswersFooter" id="Answers_footer"&gt;&lt;div style="width: 470px; height: 22px; float: left;"&gt;&lt;iframe id="AnswersAds" allowtransparency="true" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; width: 100%; height: 22px;" src="http://www.answers.com/main/tip2.jsp?s=be%20that%20ridicously%20&amp;amp;wt=1&amp;amp;nafid=&amp;amp;cobrand=" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8500650113998885593-6029241116445356225?l=challenger78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/feeds/6029241116445356225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8500650113998885593&amp;postID=6029241116445356225' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/6029241116445356225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/6029241116445356225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/2007/11/what.html' title='What the ?'/><author><name>M.Muzahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01129829920940658063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500650113998885593.post-2016852276937870191</id><published>2007-11-26T22:13:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2007-11-26T22:22:33.157+11:00</updated><title type='text'>And Here It begins.</title><content type='html'>The sequential nonsense that flows out of my mouth, and that is typed to this screen has to go somewhere right ?&lt;br /&gt;Why not the Interweb ?  After all, Some guy gets alot of money from the ads around here, so hey, everyone's a winner. I never get to shut up, and that guy gets lots of money, Or google gets to know my mind ,so it can secretly brainwash me through igoogle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did i start this blog ? Well, In the vain and egotistical hope that someone, somewhere might remember a lonely , lonely high school student (who isn't that lonely). The one guy that is so craven for attention that he posts pictures of himself on the Interweb. And writes nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bet by now, Some of you (my non existent readers) are probably going " O here we go again, We've heard all this generic nonsense, NEXT PLEASE" and I the egotistical bastard that I am, will go " Nooo, Please don't go, I need your attention, while i totally blabber on about shit that people don't care about..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, Go on, click that dammn button. I'll be here when you remember. I think.  Unless google brainwashes me again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8500650113998885593-2016852276937870191?l=challenger78.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/feeds/2016852276937870191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8500650113998885593&amp;postID=2016852276937870191' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/2016852276937870191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8500650113998885593/posts/default/2016852276937870191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://challenger78.blogspot.com/2007/11/and-here-it-begins.html' title='And Here It begins.'/><author><name>M.Muzahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01129829920940658063</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
