Title: Malek's Log
Post by: Flannel Boy on March 25, 2009, 11:56:51 AM
 :teehee

It's spring in Winnipeg, which means the city is getting hit by a snow storm.

(can't tell from the photo because of the lame ASUS webcam)


Spring is a time of new beginnings, except for me--my chance with Flannel Girl is ending. We probably won't be in any of the same classes next year. I'm doomed to be alone and miserable; this summer will be a time of of regret, tears, and vodka.

okay, so summer will be just like any other season.

Sorry Diunx, but there's only one Flannel Girl and I probably won't ever see beautiful face in class again; that is, unless anarchists likes corporate law.

 :(

Veidt, as I've tried to explain to Arvie, celibacy is a state of being in which you abstain from sex with others, not a state of being in which others abstain from sex with you. In other words, you have to voluntarily refrain from sexual activity.

quick anecdote:

Last week, I was discussing the trial of Hell's Angels leader with another student, a former councilman. For some reason, he was defensive when I criticized the organization. As it turns out, according to his Wikipedia page, the former-councilman applied to become a Hell's Angels' member. This was revealed after a police raid in which documents were seized from the organization. Among the documents found by police was his filled-out application to become a member, along with an attached photo.  :o

Probably. I mean, I thought I'd just take whatever classes Flannel Girl was taking, but what's the point.


edit:  and you're pissing off hells angels members in a crime ridden place like Winnipeg?

I don't know whether his application was actually accepted. He has, however, owned a bike shop. This alone is not necessarily suspicious, but together with his application, it is.

are you really righting a novel?  what is it about?  PM?

It's about a Kentuckian who discovers his passed out cousin Rebel lying on the bathroom floor. As he stares at his cousin's blank, vomit-covered face, he's overcome with incestuous BrandNew-like passion and begins to masturbate. After five short--very short--strokes, he begins to cry. As tears roll down his face, thick globs of cum ooze out of his penis and onto his cousin's helpless face below.

6-8 pages double spaced.  So really not much.  It's on Berkeley's objections to locke's representative realism.    I have it mostly planned but I'd like a firmer reason to why Berkley isn't allowed to make the metaphysical claims he does.

Panic attacks in the middle of the day are fun! I really need to cut down on the caffeine because it seems to both trigger and intensify these attacks; on the other hand, I need the caffeine to stay awake while reading my tort and contract case books. What to do?

Ken Dryden--NHL hall-of-fame goaltender, attorney, author, and Liberal MP--will be giving a lecture tomorrow at my law school. Even though I'm free at that time, I'm still going to skip it to get a celexa refill.

By the way, his book The Game (no, not the pick-up book) is one of the best sports books ever written.

ya caffeine is horrible for my anxiety too.  The other day I had a cappuccino from Tim's and just walking in the halls with all those people to get from my classes was causing me to sweat and shake.  It was like ten minuets into class before my heart stopped pounding.

I can still drink booze just fine, I just hardly ever do it any longer.  But for some reason caffeine fucks me up.  I guess cause I never have any under normal circumstances, but when I drank like half a 2 liter of Cheerwine a couple weeks ago it fucked my sleep schedule up for DAYS afterward.

Replace the caffeine intake with snorted lines of chopped up ambien.  I haven't tried it yet, but I have a feeling it would be blissful.  Ambien alone simulates what it must feel like to actually be loved.

Caffeine is the worst thing you can do for anxiety, malek.  Start drinking tea, and then cut it out all together.

I know, but I have so much to read during the next three weeks. And without caffeine, I'm very drowsy.

I've never referred to her as a psychiatrist.

If Saskatchewan chooses to spend scarce resources on drugs instead of on education, that's its business. But, I think the results speak for themselves:

Depends on what country you are in.  In the US some states (I think only 2), psychologists can prescribe medication.  I was reading that it's expected to get much more common over the next decade.

EDIT:  Elaboration:  in at least one of the states in question, the change was made because it was some southern shithole that couldn't attract MDs, so since there were no psychiatrists, they just let the psychologists start handing out drugs.  The practice in general is expected to get more popular because of the narrowing of diagnostic criteria for common thangs and the increased availability of good diagnostic technology, probably due to all the breakthroughs we've seen from fMRIs in the past decade (and their increasing cheapness).

There are standards.  I said "something medical-y" because I do not know precisely what they are.

Also, in some ways it makes sense for psychologists to be holding the pen.  They typically spend a lot more time with the folks they are helping than psychiatrists do.  Heck, in every therapy relationship I've been in, the psychologist has done all the diagnosing and I just get sent to the psychiatrist so he can write the note.  It's basically cutting out the middle man.

One sentence--yes one--from Vaughan v. Menlove (1837)

The declaration stated, that before and at the time of the grievance and injury, hereinafter mentioned, certain premises, to wit, two cottages with the appurtenances situate in the country of Salop, were respectively in the respective possessions and occupations of certain persons as tenants thereof to the Plaintiff, to wit, one thereof in the possession and occupation of one Thomas Ruscoe as tenant thereof to the Plaintiff, the reversion of and in the same with the appurtenances then belonging to the Plaintiff, and the other thereof in the possession and occupation of one Thomas Bickley as tenant thereof to the Plaintiff, the reversion of and in the same with the appurtenances then belonging to the Plaintiff: that the Defendant was then possessed of a certain close near to the said cottages, and of certain buildings of wood and thatch, also near to the said cottages; and that the Defendant was then also possessed of a certain rick or stack of hay before then heaped, stacked, or put together, and then standing and being in and upon the said close of the Defendant.

EYES WATERING


20th century Malek prose:

The plaintiff owned two cottages in the county of Salop, one of which was rented and occupied by Thomas Ruscoe and the other, by Thomas Bickley. The land bordering the two cottages was owned by the defendant, and it included a cottage and a hay rick, situated near the plaintiff's cottages.

Locke  defines abstraction as such.
   “The particular ideas received from particular objects become general, which is done by considering them separate from all other existences, and circumstances of real existence, as time, place, or any other concomitant ideas” P.293.
This is a sloppy definition and suffers from an ambiguity.  I do not think that Locke meant the bolded “and” to be a logical and but rather he meant to use it to introduce a rewording of what came before it.    If we broke down the sentence into its logical structure we see three sentences ‘considering them separate from all other existences’ which I will denote with a P, ‘considering them separate from all other circumstances of real existence’, Q, and ‘considering them separate from any other concomitant ideas’, R.  That is to say (P ∧ (Q ∨ R)).  Now P is very similar to R.  To say ‘any other concomitant ideas’ means all other ideas with related existences, and wether or not you are considering an idea apart from all other existences or all related existances does not matter as you are still considering the idea completely alone.  So now we can see that P and R are not just similar but are exactly the same.  Then this means that Locke is saying is  (P ∧ (Q ∨ P)).  But this is going to be true regardless the truth of Q.  It is just P and everything else after the ‘and’ is pointless.  I can see no reason as to why Locke would include this unless he thought he was just reclaiming the previous statement.  This creates a problem because P is not equal to Q.  Locke has defined abstract ideas in two distinct ways.  One is saying that abstract ideas are ideas considered separate from all other ideas and the other that abstract ideas are ideas considered separate from all other circumstances of real existence.  These look very similar but the former, as Berkeley argues leads absurdities while the other is perfectly sound.                       


Look good? 

edit:  I have to take the bolded 'all's out for my argument to work. Can I do that.
edit2:  that's a shitty argument for a number of reasons.  I suck.  Fuck Locke.   :'( :'( :'(

You're correct - it's not a logical "and."  In general, you shouldn't try to construct propositional arguments from prose (i.e., natural language arguments) unless it has a fairly obvious logical form (meaning that its propositions/relationships are explicitly defined).  In most texts, the logical form is generally not apparent on the level of an individual sentence, but rather on a chapter/argument level.  Hunting for p's and q's among a mountain of text is an exercise in futility.  Read the entire argument, summarize it in bullet point form, determine which relationships the author is positing between different aspects of the argument, and then try to impose a logical structure on it consistent with the overall argument.  

It's funny that you're reading this particular work.  I had started to reread An Essay Concerning Human Understanding several months ago while on jury duty.

Thanks.   :)

The problem is that what locke says here is contry to the rest of his argument.  I read that quote and I understand exactly what locke was trying to say but he says something completely different and then Berkeley takes this mis-wording and runs with it.  I feel like I can't just say well locke didn't really mean what he said and there isn't much else that he says on it.  So thus I'm hunting for P and Q.   and the more I look at that paragraph the more I feel it's worng:'(

Locke is interesting but he is rather careless in his terminology and the way he structures his thoughts.

Arvie, no philosophy questions during cumulative law exams! Loki is right, however, when he says that it's difficult to turn ordinary language into propositional logical. It's easier with first-order predicate logic, but it's better to look at the overall context in which the words are situated. I think the answer to your question depends on what Locke's technical definition of "real existence" is. If I recall, it's not very precise.

No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just cant seem to find it


So Ive made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though its not the easy way
I guess Ive always know


Id say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And Ill find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for

I was eavesdropping on a conversation she was having with another classmate in which she made mention of her boyfriend.

This incident proves that nothing good comes from actually attending classes.

I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what there shaking for
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you
It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing
I want you
He tossed some tatty compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
I want you
I want you
The truth cant hurt you its just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then well let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I wont know where to stop
I want you
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling not with that clown
I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I want you
I'm going to say it once again til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you

How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her

Her voice was soft and cool

Arvie, we were writing class evaluations. Mine took ten seconds to fill out because I simply circled "great" for every question, not that it matters: the prof is in his 70s and well liked.

I was disappointed that flannel girl wasn't there. She's not in class like half the time I show up.

a lot of times when we had class late, she'd arrive with bags filled with expensive she'd bought at the mall--shoes, clothes etc.

she didn't have a job and when one of my friends once asked her how she could afford any of that stuff, she told him to shut up and got mad--from there on, we thought she was a woman of the night

maybe i've finally found a fitting nick for a chick i had a crush on... hookergirl

i also remember in one class she was looking at her myspace or whatever and there were all these pictures with her and some guy, and i was at the back and looked at her screen... i was kinda devastated. :(

Some libertarians will argue that there are historical examples of privatized law enforcement (mostly 19th century England) which could be adapted to our society.

Since the letter of marque were authorized and enforced by centralized states, does that even count? I think what I'm getting at is: how would an anarchist keep his private forces inline? Other private forces? What if they merged out of self-interest?

There's probably an underlying assumption that everything will work out so well in anarcholibertopia that very few people will want to upset the apple cart, and naturally the majority would mete out mob justice.

Or that the productive members of society would create Rearden Metal the best weapons technology and naturally be able to fend off the leeches.

Anarchy has a duel meaning in our society. I would imagine most of those kids aren't real political anarchists.

Anarchists are not alone. Most ideologists believe that their preferred systems of government will work out so well that people won't have a reason to become dissatisfied or upset enough to cause internal conflict.

The problem isn't just within: anarchists have the same problem hunter and gatherers had: an inability to protect themselves from powerful organized, militarized, states. Imagine if South Korea dissolved and become an anarchist society. How, outside of the help of an actual state, would it protect itself from the North?

"After the revolution, we will all eat strawberries and cream!"

"But I don't like strawberries and cream."

"After the revolution, you will love strawberries and cream!"



Serious answer to the last part:  If they're coming at the question from an Ayn Rand place, they think of government as a crutch for the weak and ineffectual.  As long as the strong refuse to voluntarily submit, they will always triumph, and the strong are always righteous and more deserving.

There must be, and mandark touched on this, some belief that these social and political institutions hold men back from greatness. Without these institutions weighing men down, men would really flourish.

Have you read the anarchist FAQ (http://www.geocities.com/capitolHill/1931/)?  It's pretty good.  This section (http://www.geocities.com/capitolHill/1931/secI5.html) sort of addresses what you're asking about, I think.

If they're coming at the question from an Ayn Rand place, they think of government as a crutch for the weak and ineffectual.

Rand is not an anarchist, even in the oxymoronic "anarcho-capitalist" sense.

Why would anyone believe that the great unwashed--untrained in complicated legal, political, social, and bureaucratic matters--would be good decision makers? Or is the assumption that the system would somehow, by necessity, turn them into good decision makers?

As can be seen, the only armed force for the defence of the an anarchist society would be the voluntary, self-managed militia bodies organised by the free communes and federations of workers' associations. The militias would be unified and co-ordinated by federations of communes while delegates from each militia unit would co-ordinate the actual fighting. In times of peace the militia members would be living and working among the rest of the populace, and, thus, they would tend to have the same outlook and interests as their fellow workers.

The built-in assumption is that they would always be unified. Have revolutionaries never had disagreements amongst themselves before?  :lol

Also the article talks about the state as if it were a single entity. This is a nice abstraction, but there are many individual states. How exactly do these unified militias fight them off?

I also love the assumption that people that work together think alike and have the same interests. This is a nice fiction. Has anyone actually worked with blue collared workers? I have worked with many . . . WE SHARE FEW OUTLOOKS AND INTERESTS

That question is sort of addressed by this answer (http://www.geocities.com/capitolHill/1931/secI3.html#seci32) from the FAQ.  But is it the case that the various authoritarian (whether the authority is elected or not) systems in place now (and in history) necessarily generated good (for the interests of the people) decisions made by good decision makers?

How would these anarchist decision makers coordinate efforts to prevent a flooding of the Red River in Manitoba? What happens if syndicates disagree thus preventing a coordinated effort? What the fuck do factory workers, for example know about flood prevention anyway?

Quote
Firstly, the class struggle will help workers gain experience of managing their own affairs. Struggles to resist oppression and exploitation in the workplace will mean that workers will have to organise themselves to manage those struggles. This will be an important means of accustoming them to make their own decisions. By participating in the structures created to conduct the class war, they will gain the skills and experience needed to go beyond class society. The process of struggle will ensure we can manage our own working time when we take over the means of life and abolish wage slavery.

Workers in class struggles rarely organize themselves. Even if they did, the skills required to fight class warfare are not the same skills it takes to run a company, run a city, run an electricity plant, run a sewage system, etc. This really takes no time to think about. These skills aren't really transferable. We live in a complicated information age, learning to fight the bourgeoisie means jack shit when it comes to running and organizing our institutions.

Struggle in an anarchist context isn't just fighting the bourgeoisie, it's also about creating alternative social organizations ("building the new world in the shell of the old").  So in that sense it's definitely relevant.  see here (http://www.geocities.com/capitolHill/1931/secJ5.html)

Skimming I keep noticing a presumption that people will always co-operate in these unions* and communes. I did a word search for conflict or compete, and the only times those words are used is to contrast anarchism with capitalism. It's nice to see all disagreement disappear in utopias . . . just not buying it.

Have romantics ever looked at hunter and gatherer death rates from violence? It's been estimated to be between 10 and 20%, far higher than rates in modern Western nation-states. Shouldn't this give them pause when blaming institutions for debasing us instead of lifting us up from our natural depraved condition?

Is an anarchist co-op, which is operated and protected within a state, an example of anarchist success? If someone steals from them, they go use the state police. If another company breaches a contract, they go to a state courthouse. If they need water, they use the state water treatment and sewage facilities. If they need educated workers, they, at least indirectly, use state schools. If the street on which the cafe is located needs repairs, they use state construction workers.

Here's Noam Chomsky though!

Quote
2. Critics complain that anarchism is "formless, utopian." You counter that each stage of history has its own forms of authority and oppression which must be challenged, therefore no fixed doctrine can apply. In your opinion, what specific realization of anarchism is appropriate in this epoch?

I tend to agree that anarchism is formless and utopian, though hardly more so than the inane doctrines of neoliberalism, Marxism-Leninism, and other ideologies that have appealed to the powerful and their intellectual servants over the years, for reasons that are all too easy to explain. The reason for the general formlessness and intellectual vacuity (often disguised in big words, but that is again in the self-interest of intellectuals) is that we do not understand very much about complex systems, such as human societies; and have only intuitions of limited validity as to the ways they should be reshaped and constructed.

Anarchism, in my view, is an expression of the idea that the burden of proof is always on those who argue that authority and domination are necessary. They have to demonstrate, with powerful argument, that that conclusion is correct. If they cannot, then the institutions they defend should be considered illegitimate. How one should react to illegitimate authority depends on circumstances and conditions: there are no formulas.

In the present period, the issues arise across the board, as they commonly do: from personal relations in the family and elsewhere, to the international political/economic order. And anarchist ideas -- challenging authority and insisting that it justify itself -- are appropriate at all levels.

3. What sort of conception of human nature is anarchism predicated on? Would people have less incentive to work in an egalitarian society? Would an absence of government allow the strong to dominate the weak? Would democratic decision-making result in excessive conflict, indecision and "mob rule"?

As I understand the term "anarchism," it is based on the hope (in our state of ignorance, we cannot go beyond that) that core elements of human nature include sentiments of solidarity, mutual support, sympathy, concern for others, and so on.

Would people work less in an egalitarian society? Yes, insofar as they are driven to work by the need for survival; or by material reward, a kind of pathology, I believe, like the kind of pathology that leads some to take pleasure from torturing others. Those who find reasonable the classical liberal doctrine that the impulse to engage in creative work is at the core of human nature -- something we see constantly, I think, from children to the elderly, when circumstances allow -- will be very suspicious of these doctrines, which are highly serviceable to power and authority, but seem to have no other merits.

Would an absence of government allow the strong to dominate the weak? We don't know. If so, then forms of social organization would have to be constructed -- there are many possibilities -- to overcome this crime.

What would be the consequences of democratic decision-making? The answers are unknown. We would have to learn by trial. Let's try it and find out.

But the point is that human beings don't have to be that way.  You're kinda begging the question.  Anyway, I don't think belief in the possibility of biological reform implies belief in a quasi-eschatological "singularity".  The former may not be inevitable, but it's not a huge stretch from the current situation.  The issue then becomes: who controls whatever reform does occur, and to what social end is it directed?  That's one of the reasons I want to go back to school and study biochemistry.

We can argue about where the burden of proof should lie, but in a practical sense it seems to lie with those who advocate radical change. In order to be convinced of change, I have to be convinced that the change is, at the very least, practical.

An anarchist society cannot survive against militaristic nation states.

The closest analog to an anarchist society is hunter and gatherer societies. These societies, the only form of society at the time on Earth, were unable to survive the innovation of the nation state that emerged in the Middle East thousands of years ago. A large top-down state will always prevail over anarchist societies, which are unable to put up a united coordinated, defense against a powerful, well-ordered state.

There's a reason why every square mile on Earth is ultimately controlled by a state. A true anarchist society, one which is not protected by a state, will simply not last. And the state which is imposed on the society will surely be worse than the state that it originally freed itself from. The only realistic choice is between better and worse nation-states.

Post by: recursivelyenumerable on March 28, 2009, 03:22:30 AM
The context is that human nature, in the sense of what humans do, is determined by the effects of social institutions, etc. operating on a biological base.  Most socialist anarchists would agree that human nature in this sense is not currently conducive to an anarchist society, but they'd argue that this is only a result of social conditioning, not a constraint imposed by the biological base, so it can change (at least in principle).  I don't personally have a strong opinion on this question, but if it is in fact a constraint imposed by the biological base, that can change too.  So, one way or another.  The same reasoning applies to feminism vs. gender determinism for example.

hunter and gatherers were able to maintain anarchist societies. I think they were able to do so because their communities were extremely small and close knit, allowing for high levels of social monitoring that enforced "tit for tat" moral behavior. In such a community, you couldn't cheat easily without getting caught. And once caught, you had no where to go. The risk of getting caught and the punishment for getting caught dissuaded "cheaters."

And there would be little incentive to cheat. What goods did your tribe have? Small tools, food, shelter, and mates. What's the point of stealing, when you got nothing to steal? There also wasn't much reason to refrain from doing your fair share. It's not like there was a lot of work: You hunt, gather, sleep, eat, and have sex.  

Modern societies are simply too dissimilar to hunter and gatherer societies. They're too large, complex and impersonal to allow for the needed social monitoring. And, unlike our ancestors, we have way too many goods. AND WE WANT THEM ALL

I don't think that an anarchist society would better meet the needs and wants of people either. But the inability of an anarchist society to even protect itself makes the need for that argument superfluous; even if it did meet the needs and wants of people better than a modern nation state, who cares if it wouldn't be allowed to exist.

The thing is that if all nations in the globe anarchized simultaneously, they wouldn't need to worry about being attacked by hostile terrestrial nation-states.  The problem, though, is that they'd be very vulnerable to alien invasion, because without a centralizing authority to coordinate the resistance, everyone would have to seek information by themselves using Google, so, unfortunately, even if someone were to devise an effective means of anarchist defense against alien invasion, they would be completely unable to disseminate it.  It would be impossible for anyone to find thanks to Funcom's Alien Invasion expansion pack for Anarchy Online.

Dearest friend, you know that this is real life we're talking about, and if you know anything about it as much as I do then you'd know that this is probably the case. Right now you're tailoring her according to your interests and fantasies. The more you do it the more likely you're gonna be shocked by how different she is.

She's a human being who has her own unique personality, while in your mind you're basing hers on yours.

I have based her personality on insufficient information, but I'm not trying to create a female malek.

the fuck

then why did you go out with them? was it just for the sex or what?

were they obese


Attractiveness isn't binary. They weren't Flannel Girls, but they weren't "Triumph in a dress" ugly either.* But they were attractive enough . . .

No fatties.


*no offense, Triumph. But we all know you wouldn't look good in a dress.

Personally, I'm long past caring how attractive women are, at least beyond a very low "not morbidly obese" standard.  I'll settle for someone I like on a personal level.

You do not need the female parts the harlots tease you with.  I can replace that desire with the desire to have an attached motorcycle wheel placed in your cheeks just on top of the bottom's launchpad.  I'll make sure the speed of the wheels is slow at first.  It should be almost pleasurable then.

I don't think Flannel girl would give me a lock of her hair; she once refused to give me her pen when I asked to borrow it.

Because I'm socially distinguished mentally-challenged, I thought she was actually refusing! She was simply joking around; it was so cute.

You are probably slightly above or below average and, therefore, have only a boringly average amount of averageness.  You need to be mind-blowingly, breathtakingly average to get a woman like that.

He's a sad bastard and you're going to meet the same end as him anyway.

I can foresee myself getting stabbed to death--defensive stabs at the hands of Flannel Girl. But I just can't foresee it being self-inflicted.

Anecdote: A friend of mine in university, a fellow philosophy major, was arguing with his girlfriend one night. After they started screaming at each other, his girlfriend told him that she has been fucking his roommate. In response to this news, he picked up a knife and plunged it into his beer belly, just missing his vital organs.

I could never see myself being able to do that. Maybe pills, but I can't imagine a self-inflicted violent end.

After getting out of the hospital, he punched out a glass window, shattering his fist in the process. He moved out of the dorm room that he shared with his roommate, naturally. He tried going back to class, but dropped out weeks later and moved back home. I haven't seen or talked to him since.

In class, the prof was discussing a case and said he was going to write the facts of the case on the whiteboard. He went to the board and the first marker he tried writing with didn't work; he tried another, it didn't work either. I was about to say something lame like "looks like the facts of the case are elusive" but stopped myself.

Anyway, another song about my creepy infatuation with Flannel Girl:

Love is asking to be loved.

Love is needing to be loved.

I'm staying in Winnipeg. I hope to finish my novel and/or drink myself to death. I have no idea why I'm going back to school in the fall or how I'll start going to classes.

As to the condition of my apartment, let's just say that I've been buying paper plates for the last two months.

Post by: Flannel Boy on April 01, 2009, 02:50:03 PM
I was going to post this message in class, but, because I was late (fucking snow and fucking public transit), I wasn't sitting in the back; consequently, the person directly behind me could see my screen. And I'm not being paranoid; as soon as I logged on to evilbore--and my lennon avatar was clearly visible--the person behind me started singing "Ticket to Ride."

Anyway, Flannel Girl finally decided to show up to class. She looked as beautiful as ever, and to further twist that knife into my heart, she was wearing bangs. I, on the other hand, had my anxious I-HATE-EVERYONE/PLEASE KILL-ME look going. During the break, we briefly made eye contact: I quickly became embarrassed and diverted my eyes, then  tilted my head to the ground and did a sad, defeated Charlie Brown walk to my seat.

I never feel as alone as I do when I'm in class, where I'm constantly reminded how alone I really am by the happy, friendly students surrounding me.

Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you, you, you


Feelin' that it's gone
Can change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide love divides


Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways

This is a fun sentence.
Quote
"If A has entered into a contract with B to do work for, or to supply goods or services to, B in return for payment by B and at some stage before A has completely performed his obligations under the contract B has reason to doubt whether A will, or will be able to, complete his side of the bargain and B thereupon promises A an additional payment in return for A’s promise to perform his contractual obligations on time and as a result of giving his promise B obtains in practice a benefit, or obviates a disbenefit, and B’s promise is not given as a result of economic duress or fraud on the part of A, then the benefit to B is capable of being consideration for B’s promise, so that the promise will be legally binding.”

The above quote was from another English Court case--though one from the 1990's.

Modern Canadian cases seem to be written by people who have read Strunk and White more than a few times.

edit: For clarification, Canadian courts are not bound by English courts,* but their decisions are persuasive.

*Canadian courts, except for the Supreme Court of Canada, are bound by Canadian Privy Council cases before 1946. The Privy Council was Canada's highest court, thus their past decisions are treated as if they were made by the SCC, unless specifically overruled by the SCC, the Charter of Rights, or Parliament.

Let's at least try formatting it properly.
Code: [Select]
if
       A has entered into a contract with B
          to do work for or to supply goods or services to B
          in return for payment by B
   and
           at some stage before A has completely performed his obligations under the contract
               B has reason to doubt whether A will, or will be able to, complete his side of the bargain
                   and B thereupon promises A an additional payment
                       in return for A’s promise to perform his contractual obligations on time
       and as a result of giving his promise
              B obtains in practice a benefit, or obviates a disbenefit,
       and B’s promise is not given as a result of economic duress or fraud on the part of A,
then
   the benefit to B is capable of being consideration for B’s promise,
       so that the promise will be legally binding.

Isn't that better?
Title: Re: Malek's Log
Post by: Flannel Boy on April 01, 2009, 06:05:02 PM
I'll give it a try
The performance of an existing contractual obligation is good consideration in exchange for increased payment when the other party derives a practical benefit from the performance of that existing contractual obligation.

The part about fraud or duress is unnecessary; it goes without saying.

What are you going to do over the summer, Malek?  Do you take classes still or do you go to somewhere more depressing.  Because I'd imagine that wherever your home is, it's probably more depressing.
I'm staying in Winnipeg. I hope to finish my novel and/or drink myself to death. I have no idea why I'm going back to school in the fall or how I'll start going to classes.

 

Well, that's depressing.  Staying in winnipeg, and the options being finishing a novel or drinking oneself to death.

The good odds would seem to be on the latter... :-\

I don't even really know what stream of consciousness would be like.  I've never read any.  I can only assume that it would use a lot of pronouns, as in my own mind, that is when I think I hardly ever use proper names as the signified just appears to my thought - it would never work out anyways as I always have to go back and fix my spelling like just now a wrote 'apperies' and saw the red line and had to go back and change it totally ruinng the flow of the thought - ruining.  It would be constant self correction in an unintelligible way.  actually if I was correcting on the fly it would probably help readers understand what I was trying to say.  I would no longer - I can't believe I'm writing this instead of working on latin and doing crititcal thinking work.  Truth trees are boring and this post was boring and un funny.  I should delete it and not post it but I'm not going to because it's the longest post i've written since a 100 posts back.

Actual property law cases

Clayton v. Ramsdon (1943) House of Lords Appeal Court
Land left to daughter so long as she doesn't marry a non-Jew

Re Tegg (1936)
Property left to wife on condition that children never become Catholics
   
Re Selby (1965) English Court
Property to son as long as he marries a Jewish woman

Re Tuck's Settlement Trusts (1978) English Court of Appeal
Property left to son on the condition he marries a woman of Jewish faith. Arbitration clause states that a Rabbi must decides on her jewishness

Perron v. Lyon
Property left to daughter as long as she does not marry a Scottish man.

Jenner v. Turner
land left to to daughter as long as she does not marry a servant.

Re Drummond
(1945) Ontario Court
covenant created stating that land could not be sold to Jews or others of "objectionable race"

covenant created stating that land could not be sold to Jews or others of "objectionable race"

Actual property law cases

Clayton v. Ramsdon (1943) House of Lords Appeal Court
Land left to daughter so long as she doesn't marry a non-Jew
Result: fee simple limited upon condition subsequent, the condition that the daughter not marry a non-jew, struck out because of vagueness: not clear how Jewish the male had to be.

Re Tegg (1936)
Property left to wife on condition that children never become Catholics
void for uncertainty (not the part dealing with Catholicism, but a related part about the children remaining involved with the Church of England.
   
Re Selby (1965) English Court
Property to son as long as he marries a Jewish woman
Upheld because it was a condition precedent, which is interpreted more leniently than a condition subsequent (Clayton v. Ramsdon )

Re Tuck's Settlement Trusts (1978) English Court of Appeal
Property left to son on the condition he marries a woman of Jewish faith. Arbitration clause states that a Rabbi must decide on her jewishness.
Lord Denning gives it the okay, holding that the arbitration clause makes the condition valid.

Perron v. Lyon
Property left to daughter as long as she does not marry a Scottish man.
Interfering with the family unit is contrary to public policy; however, there are many non-Scottish men, so the condition is fine.

Jenner v. Turner
land left to to daughter as long as she does not marry a servant.
Valid restriction
 
Re Drummond [/i](1945) Ontario Court
covenant created stating that land could not be sold to Jews or others of "objectionable race"

It has a nice dark undertone, what with the coming back from prison angle, but it's not really played except for that one line.

The Zombies really are underrated.  I love the mix of psychedelia with thick, Beach Boys-esque vocal harmonies in that particular song, and I also think the production (again, for that song) holds up to what the Beatles and Beach Boys were doing at the time.

It's a good mix of the big psychedelic acts of the time without suffering from the indulgence that plagues the genre, I think.  It's short and jaunty, has nice texture that varies throughout the song, and it has tingly vocal harmonies.  I also fancy that one-line turn on the song more than I probably should.  I could probably listen to it on repeat forever.

Repeated listenability goes a long way.  I can probably rant for like 20 minutes bout why Sister Ray is the greatest song evar but I sure as fuck wouldn't want to listen to it twice in one day.

It's a good song but the basic verse melody is so repetitive/boring. Sounds like something you've heard done before, better. But the chorus transition is great, plus there's this cryptic transition later in the song

wait, you had to argue that Canadians' freedom of expression were violated because a British MP wasn't allowed into the country? 

Yeah, that's different.
Title: Re: Malek's Log
Post by: Flannel Boy on April 13, 2009, 08:00:31 PM
Well, the SCC has held that freedom of expression includes the freedom to hear others express themselves; freedom of expression takes place within a community. Still had some difficulty because none of the case law that was assigned directly dealt with that issue, especially when the other party is a non-resident. It's different then, for example, banning an article by Galloway.

Second question also confused me: it involved an affirmative action program that was disputed by . . . another minority group because the program discriminated against them. This would be easy to solve using section 15(2) R. v. Kapp, but the government, in my fake case, simply created the program out of political expediency. According to Kapp, the program's objective must be to ameliorate the needs of a disadvantaged group. The object was convenience . . . so I then looked at older case law and concluded the program was discriminatory but was, nevertheless, saved by section 1.

For non-Canadians--and Arvie--Canadian rights and freedoms are limited by section 1. They can also be limited by section 33.

Ya I had dinner with my grandpa  yesterday and he is almost completely deaf now so having a conversion with him is near impossible.  You have to repeat things three times, each time louder, and he almost always misses what you said on the third on still but just give a yes or a 'hum' because he's embarrassed about not hearing.  Or worse he'll apologize repeatedly for not being able to hear.  He always seems so hurt about it.    :-\   And he always asks about the same three things.  Am, I driving yet [no], how are the girls at school [ :'(], and do I ever hang out with the guys any more [ :'( :'(].  I always feel like I've let him down when I can't really give him good answers.

Still, wasn't the technical reason he was banned not his views per se, but because he admitted to donating to Hamas and Hezbollah, ergo violating Canadian law regarding funding terrorist organizations?

I was never consciously aware of that being a rule in itself, but it seems intuitively obvious to me.  "A number of" functions as an adverbial phrase modifying the (plural) subject while "the number of" is itself the subject, together with a preposition that connects it with a modifying word or phrase.  Anyway, she's a professional writer now so I don't think it's too unreasonable a nitpick, though the proposed relentless nitpicking campaign would itself be unreasonable.

Pro tip: tie your pants up with a rip cord before you do it.  That way you can stylishly get them off with fumbling around with a belt and button.  Also it increases the chances that you actually get to flash her before she screams.

stab your eyes first so you couldnt see the blood, shut the second eye before you stab the first to minimize the risk

also about the going outside thing, you probably have linoleum tiles in your bathroom right?  smash a tile w/ something heavy and use the broken tile pieces to hone your blade to a fine edge

maybe there needs to be an Amazon recommendations page for potential love interests.  "if you like person X who is unattainable for you, we recommend W, Y and Z who are the downmarket versions"

Only that didn't happen, instead Windows froze, and on a subsequent restart, the software claimed that I never downloaded the exam in the first place and was not allowed to take it.The technician managed to fix the problem (minutes before the exam) but not before I had a major panic attack, a panic attack that only got worse when the exam started. I wasn't able to read for about half and hour into the exam. Even then I had no idea what I was reading. My typing wasn't any better. I think am nintenho and Arvie working together while on high on acid couldn't have done worse.

I will only have two more chances to get to see Flannel Girl--maybe ever as I'm not sure whether I want to return to law school in September. The only plan I could think of to get a chance to talk to her is to "accidentally" bump into her (committing a battery).

LOL I fail at life.

I hear White Man is still looking for a sex-butler. I might consider the position if he promises to occasionally wear flannel.

Seriously don't quit.  You're a quarter of the way done and think of the hell of LSAT you went though.  I mean you tried so hard and got so far and in the end it won't even matter?

And it's only doubts that we're counting
On fingers broken long ago
I read with every broken heart we should become
More adventurous
And if you banish me from your prophets
And if I get banished from the kingdom up above
I'd sacrifice money and heaven all for love
Let me be loved, let me be loved

Law school is only three years?  That settles it you have to go back then.

3 years of med school? well where will I ever going to use that?

You could teach me mouth to mouth.

Thank God* my property law professor is 100 years-old** and hasn't added a new case to his class since the early 80s. It means I can completely rely on old notes. I've printed out three sets of outlines, and they're nearly identical.*** 

*does not exist
**almost 100
***I did not print them out today; I'm not that reckless.

I've never felt this way about anyone before. Two girls come close: One was another hopeless infatuation; the other one ended at second base--or just short of second.  :-\

I've never really cared about any of the girls I've been with, which probably explains why the relationships didn't last very long.

White Man, only if we visit the genocide museum--I hear that will cheer me up.

That's what everyone say, but time and time again, time proves them wrong. This is basically one of many reasons why people cheat on their spouses and (in my case) embrace polygamy.

I'm telling you that I can only think of two other girls I've had similar feeling towards. And I really don't recall thinking about them every single day. Fuck, an hour doesn't go by where I don't think about her.

If you kill her, you can never, ever forget about her again.  The more humiliating death, the better.  Just ties her down, take a couple of poops, couple of pisses on her.  Make her swallow some shit.  Stab her in the direct front of her throat, deeply, so she drowns on her blood.  Will be the most memorable and last several minutes of her life.  While she's still warm, roll her over and go to town and feel what it almost must have felt like when there was flowing blood.  AT least it will be warm and you have 20 minutes before things stiffen up a bit.

When Malek changed the Subject title to "I'm ready to Manabyte the dust" I was convinced he had just fixed himself a garbage plate of meds.

White Man, I'm pretty mentally fragile, but you need to try to manipulate someone who's a little slower and more susceptible to this kind of cajoling.

Chippo: I typed "I wanna manabyte the dust" Of course, like Manabyte, that means I'll never actually commit suicide.
