kinda blows the lid on this theory that the US government is this bening loving force that never involves itself in atrocious plots to murder "innocent" people, huh.

Why?
Because i don't get off on hours of anime, and endless wanker US pop culture? Or don't spend 15 hours a day playing Halo 3 or whatever the latest video game is?
I used to spend a lot of time reading about Permaculture, and sustainable design, and "green" stuff ... but you know what? That is kinda far removed from me right now.
I don't want to spend anytime (or lots of money) on school right now, and i don't want to go back to volunteering on someone elses farm (which i have done before) ... so i focus my spare time on brushing up on history & politics while trying to amass enough money to get myself a farm and a strawbale house.
What's so wrong with that?
Sheesh.
If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand?

Once you get settled, give me a call. I fancy a change of scenery, and a job where I can get my hands dirty.
I'm fed up with working for wankers.
Edit: I'm drunk...I'm off to China next week. I''ll see how that goes. I still love America though. One day I'm gonna come over yonder and tear it a new one.

You may want to check out ATTRA.
In the last 10 years it has really grown as a resource for cool alt-farm employemnt\internship opportunities.
Also, woof or "willing workers on organic farms" or "world wide opportunities on organic farms" has always been a good source.
If you want to get your hands dirty, there are plenty of ways to do it. Some pay, some just provide food and shelter. All provide lots of experience and hands on learning.
I just stopped following that path, because i actualy want to hold my own land, not just work for someone elses farm forever. Its not so much that i want the money and the ownership, i just want to plan it the way i want. I want to be part of the organizing force of the exercise.
But i've got a ways to go, so check out some other opportunities while you can.

Actually, I'm just biding my time until I sell my flat/apartment this year - or maybe next year - and then I'm gonna travel for a year or two. I'll se how China goes first. We'll see how it goes. But I do like the States. I have a feeling I'll be swinging my inconsiderable dick there again at some point.
Edit: I just hope you pussy's get some decent fucking beer there sometime in the near future!

Heh.
Good luck.
You want good beer and your headed to China !?!
Bwahahah. Have fun drinking the Tsing Tao!
I'm actualy busting open a bottle of St. Bernardus 12 as we speak.
If you want good beer in America, imho, its Belgian bottles or bust. Most of our microbrews are heavy on the hops and light on the alcohol ... i like mine the reverse of that ... and smooth.
Bottle of Duvel, St. Bernardus, Piraat, Val-Dieu, Chimay, La Chouffe, St. Benedictus, Kwak, Delerium Tremens ...
thems all good stuff, and can even be found here in crappy ole Georgia!

Assuming that you don't do those things, it still doesn't make any sense to assume that every one else must be doing just that. And that way of thinking also implies that people who don't lolligag must have views that are like your own. Of course, that is far from the truth.
I used to spend a lot of time reading about Permaculture, and sustainable design, and "green" stuff ... but you know what? That is kinda far removed from me right now.
Again, this is more about painting yourself as someone who does not obsessively play video games. Good for you.

Wow, I rarely see that much effort being put into building oneself up for the sake of appearing informed. You seem to be preoccupied with creating the illusion that in a world of sheep and intellectuals, you clearly must be one of the intellectuals, and therefore your opinions must be correct. Not only is the world not that simple, but it's kind of delusional to think that it is.
Why? I don't usually agree with him (her?), but do you honestly disagree with that post?
Of course I don't disagree with his post.
But, if you follow Drifting's pattern of posts, you might notice that he believes he is some kind of modern day Paul Revere of conspiracy theorists, in that he thinks we're all just sound asleep in our beds, unaware of what's going on under the cover of darkness.
For example, in the post of his that I quoted, he talks about how the reason he thinks the way that he does is because he does not waste his time playing video games and tuning in to pop culture.
In another thread, he went on about his ability to not believe everything the government says, and to look beyond mainstream media for world views.
It's like a red herring mixed with some appeal to authority, topped off with a bifurcation. The red herring is the creation of a "sheep" class of individual who clearly lacks intuition and independent thinking. The appeal to authority is his supposed devotion to research and bookworming. The bifurcation is the belief that people are simply divided up into those categories, and that his views are clearly in the latter category.
