Who Killed Grasscity?

[arcadianskies77]

I'm sorry I came here expecting to hear people mourning about the state of grasscity when topics like "I'm so fucked up" get 20 replies and meaningful topics with substance get 0 replies. I think I'm just bitter now. I need some herb.

aw but come on, i AM so fucked up.'

but seriously, its easy to just overlook the immature posters, (of which i am occasionally...often) and within any community there are members who have idiosyncrasies such as immaturity.

that said, i dont think you can mourn about an ever-changing community such as this. i came back from a long hiatus from gc and saw at ton of new (to me at least) members with vast depth and insight.

as for the i-am-so-fucked up posts, i mean we love reading them cuz we love getting fucked up.

i love seeing the occasional ksr thuglife thread, and i know bubbles and neg are always getting down, and its easy to relate to.

Who Killed Grasscity?

Grasscity, is much like any other thing that is both an ?organization? and a ?community?.

We can see many parallels here as with right throughout society.

We

are

society.


We have our own little web community in that society,
and so,

that which is true of all society,
must inherently be true of grasscity as part of society.

however, its always very difficult (and potentially dangerous) to try to pinpoint that which is true of all.





Certainly it can be said that grasscity is full of really nice people,

its a fairly tranquil place,
and not a lot of people get worked up about things.

Causes of this outcome include
the efforts of the Admin & Mods,
the soothing color scheme,
the mellow nature of stoners & the city being almost entirely stoners (?cannabis consumers?).

However,
within the one aspect,
the actions of the mods, (again, i must stress for fear of misunderstanding, that this applies across society, not just here in Grasscity which i'm just using as a familiar example)
I put forward the argument
that
this does not truly aid
the quality of humanity,
the safety
and peace
of society,
or whatever it is that any of us expect from the mods & admin.

If our actions
are curtailed, coerced and even controlled [by] law and master,

then it is not us who have improved.


If the reaction to ?misbehavior? or ?rule breaking? is punishment,
the precedence is set, as coming from an ?authority figure?, one who makes the rules (or at least dishes them out), or role model, that it is ok,

and such a scheme will perpetuate itself long into the future given the nature of how our monkey brains learn.

If the reaction to ?misbehavior? or ?rule breaking? is exile,
then the problem increases in complexity and gets passed on to someone else to deal with (yahooka?).

This is very similar to how many of us still deal with our household waste disposal.

Stick it in a bag and throw it away.

The matter is still there, just out of sight and out of mind,
and go back to continuing to ignore how much waste we produce in the world.

So why don't we re-use
or re-cycle
or re-constitute
or re-condition all that we dont want and wish to throw away?



because it's too difficult.



Now part of that is our fault in our lazy fast lane lifestyles,

but a bigger part of that is what unwanted stuff we take into our homes.


do we really want a piece of plastic wrapping?

for what?

and once it's done that use?

oh yeah, we just throw it away.



What goes in must come out,

and to take the analogy back and to simplify,

?Don't let others make more crap to be taken in, reform the crap you take in, and don't throw any crap out unless it's reformed?.


Unfortunately, such idealism rarely meets the practical world,
and so,
this message will be lost,
ignored or misunderstood,
and so the crap will continue,
of that i am almost certain.


STOP LYING TO CHILDREN.

Who killed society?

Our parents

and their's before them,
and so on,

and us,

in what we do every day.





We killed society.



... We are the tall walking monkeys of destruction. *slow clap*

also i read MOST of it cept the end but from wat i read i have to say that without an authority figure the world or community blows into chaos

yeah, i hear that propaganda quite a bit these days. actually i think we used to have another name for it back in the day... now what was it when u didnt have a leader... umm... DEMOCRACY! yes, thats right. "chaos" hah. it's amusing seeing that word banded around like a propaganda term as if it actually were 100% synonymous with the root meaning for pandemonium. (it's not)

I agree with Mike C Ruppert.....

The world could really use a little chaos* right about now.


*democracy

i think it's far more transitional than how that sentence suggestively reads. but then... 11 words later you are on about the how "ever-changing" the community is... so i suppose it balances out and this post just earned it'self 4 stars for redundancy. ;D

that said, i dont think you can mourn about an ever-changing community such as this. i came back from a long hiatus from gc and saw at ton of new (to me at least) members with vast depth and insight.

the song/story/saga of one and all.

.... it's kinda like a drawn out affair of watching a person teetering on the edge of being awake and falling asleep... their head dropping only to be caught and lifted, over and over. the inevitable recharge dawns and the tranquility of the deltawave state becomes prominent.

i killed GC!!!

everything wrong with society is almost directly each individuals fault for partaking in activities which lead to the downfall of the system.

of course like digit said, there have been many 'guided' events to lead society to where it is for an agenda, but nevertheless, without the support of the masses the agenda couldnt even exist.
