A-ha! Not only is Fr3sh mentally deranged like the rest of us, but he also believes in Murphy's Law: "The toast always falls with the butter-side down." Or something to that effect... I'm terrible with quotes. this part of the quote is A-O-K BUT this is only the 1st part of it!! not only it drops with the buttered side down, but also lands on something of extreme importance (or on something that will become unusable or it will be very expensive to make it usable) FOR MURPHY and GARFIELD!! In them I believe CHEERS!! Oh, this man has excellent role-models! I say we make him a Rec. ASAP! People, pls post your vote here (not you, fr3sh... we want to keep the illusion of democracy): paradiselost1.proboards25.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=joinPLC&thread=1127777649&page=1

almost correct i thought that 'voluptas' meant lusts, whims, smth like that, pleasures seem a bit strange with what I remember... but hell, I learnt that a long long time ago (in primary school I think-i had ambitions then... english, latin... now only broken dreams...) brkbakl nvm... [...] Ok, "pleasures of the flesh", then, for "voluptas". Oh, and what's this? "brkbakl nvm..."

[...] 'Bibamus... cras enim moriemur'[...] Uuuuhhh, for this one ill need the "code book", it has 2 verbs, and in the passive voice! Ok, if I read the "code book" (the "cook book"?) right, this is what it means: "Let us drink... tomorrow we will certainly be dead"

Oh, this is fun!
"Militia est vita hominis super terram"
And without even glancing at the cookbook...
"Military is the life of men above the earth"
But it probably means something like
"A man's life on Earth is that of a soldier"
Bah, right or wrong, it's dinner time -- no time for Latin when a hot meal awaits for me at the dining table, hehe

'Bibamus... cras enim moriemur' Let us drink, for tomorrow we shall die (or smth like that, so yes correct) 'Militia est vita hominis super terram' 'fighting' is the life of men on earth (yet i could miswrite smth... it has been 6 years since I learnt latin, now i'm trying to find my notes ^_^) and as for 'brkbakl nvm' put your fingers on the keyboard and push some keys randomly (it resembels 'ermmm' or smth similar ) and 'nvm' is 'nevermind', i happen to do it all the time now, I just spend too much times on various internet forums and waste my time on 'stupid' games

'Militia est vita hominis super terram' 'fighting' is the life of men on earth (yet i could miswrite smth... it has been 6 years since I learnt latin, now i'm trying to find my notes ^_^) Ah, "militia" as adjective, ok; but in economical Latin (Latin is always economical...), you would have the syntagm (noun and adjective) together, and you should drop the "is" (it goes without saying, or so the snobbier Romans though). So, it should read: "Militia vita hominis super terram" Lol, I only had like 6 months of Latin in College (but it was Beginner's Latin), a few years ago, so I still need the cookbook (dictionary&grammar) a lot, although I can pretty much "guess" (which my teacher, the former priest who wouldn't talk about it, always told us not to do...) some of the easier stuff. Hmm, you type with all your fingers, right? I mean, not just the usual 2 longest fingers of each hand?

The illusion of democracy ?? But of course, Silent, the ilusion of democracy. Democracy is but an illusion, as the fates of all of us are not decided by majority, but by a handfull (sometimes even just 1) who make arbirtrary decisions that affect us all -- regardless of what our vote was. We can only hope that, whatever illusion of democracy we are talking about, whoever the tyrant may be, he will be a good tyrant... in the sense that he means well.

Well, ok, even though I wasn't thinking specifically about just little 20-some us here; I was broadening the scope to every Human Society in the world, present and past. Democracy is an illusion -- if for no other reason, because when the sh*it hits the fan, there is no time to call for a vote; you just switch the fan off, before it spreads the sh*t all around the room.

I mean, not just the usual 2 longest fingers of each hand? i used to write with only my index fingers (the longest ones are used to show off before others ) but thanks to a large number of games with a lot of functions designated to various keys on the keyboard I'm getting better and better in writting with both hands, and not just 2 fingers and as for latin... i only 'learnt it because i wanted to u can always seal one's lips by saying somthing he doesn't understand in a dead language and yes, more and more ppl dont know latin, even those that should know it know only the terms used, like lawyers, butchers (a.k.a. doctors) and so on and on... I learnt it on my own accord and now i benefit from it so boys and girls, learn languages...

We can only hope that, whatever illusion of democracy we are talking about, whoever the tyrant may be, he will be a good tyrant... in the sense that he means well. Furthermore, I would say Democracy was no less flopped even at it's birth days than, say, Communism. You cannot call Democracy to a system in which large parts of the population cannot vote. Women, slaves and foreigners could not vote in ancient Greece. Of nowadays "Democracies" the song is slightly different. Oh yes, in some cases even foreigners can vote but their vote is simply ignored by those who are "elected" because they receive and carry out orders from above not from below. That is the human logic. Order(s) always come from above not from below. Who is the above? I would steal an expression I heard of one of Nine Inch Nails': God Money... (in Head Like a Hole) That is why I am politically a rare animal. An Anarchist (and consequently an utopian).

Democracy is a requirement of Capitalism; without the illusion of being in control, the masses would never let themselved be subjugated to a system of faith that promises future rewards for hard work now. If you think you're free, you don't try to break out of prision.

I learnt it on my own accord and now i benefit from it so boys and girls, learn languages... Then you'll love these 3 titles, I hope: Latin for All Occasions (Lingua Latina Occasionibus Omnibus), by Henry Beard Latin for Even More Occasions (Lingua Latina Multo Pluribus Occasionibus), also by Henry Beard Which Way to the Vomitorium? Vernacular Latin for All Occasions, by Rose Wiliams and Leslie O'Mara You'll find these filled with everyday sentences that you can use to silent even more people, in even more situations! As an example: Latin Bumper Stickers for Your ChariotFRENA PRO FERIS TENEO I BRAKE FOR ANIMALS
BALAENAE NOBIS CONSERVANDAE SUNT SAVE THE WHALES
CUM CATAPULTAE PROSCRIPTAE ERUNT TUM SOLI PROSCRIPTI CATAPULTAS HABEBUNT WHEN CAPATULTS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE CATAPULTS
SI HOC ADVISUM IN OBICE LEGERE POTES, ET LIBERATER EDUCATUS ET NIMIS PROPINQUUS ADES IF YOU CAN READ THIS BUMPER STICKER, YOU ARE BOTH VERY WELL EDUCATED AND MUCH TOO CLOSE

the only test u will get to see on the rear of a car is a red scrolling text board saying: Stop police, pull over..

Well, you live in a civilized country, Iron, that kind of thing is to be expected over there. Here, the traffic police with use unmarked cars in the highway, look for drivers who are going fast, give chase to them (without ever letting them know they are the Police), which means the guy who is speeding will speed even more, to try to "lose" the other guy, and when the speeder can't go any faster, the Police tapes the guy on VCR, logs the speed given by the radar, and only THEN they flash the little blue lights and syren and tell the guy to pull over to the side...
Of course, the risks of a high-speed colision with anyone else driving on the highway will increase very much, but that seems to be of no concern to the Police (and to those who tell the Police what to do): what matters is that it's a great way of filling the State coffers...
Too bad all that money from fines, along with the unbelieveably high tax moneys, disappears in the meanders of politics before ever reaching the Hospitals or the Schools...
