Basshole Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Shawdow, I think what moderators need is common sense. I remember my brother (jessenoah19) was messing around and acting like all funny. He said the n-word. he got booted for 6 months. He didnt mean it in a hurtful manor at all. I think mods can do a better job at understanding a blog, see how a person is acting, how the people are reacting to it. like once yoy know how somebody is then you can judge him on what he said. Like homz is troll, very clear jk thundergod is a smart and logical Rich is actually the messiah but he hasnt told nobody yet you dig? If someone says something funny and not intented to hurt anybody and 9 out of 10 people laugh and then one person says its racised. then what? You boot him? you see how people on this fourm hate when you suspend people for small things. we are adults here we know better. Keep these kids out who personally cause trouble.

badjuju342 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've said elsewhere: I feel that only Gibson staff (i.e.' date=' salaried employees of Gibson) should be accorded the job of moderating the forum. [/quote'] I volunteered via PM to do mod duties but haven't heard back. I am a Gibson employee and they like me enough to run 2nd shift Electronics at the plant. I own www.clubhioctane.com , am a supermod at www.ls1tech.com & www.seatstaysup.com ( both have over 100,000 registered users) plus I am about as neutral as the Swiss when it comes to the internet. I have not been here a long time but I do come pedigreed. I like this site very much and haven't made anyone mad (yet,har). So perhaps you might see ol' Bad get that magical usertitle . Who knows? Maybe I gotta buy a Gibson first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homz Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Voted in a Socialist who replaced the Fascist and such are the days of our lives. If I am to be quoted it would be nice if you would try to understand that many of the things I post are meant in irony. I guess if you hadn't been around you might not know that. The above quote is such a post. I don't actually think President Obama is a Socialist. I have never heard him claim to be one. But, then I suppose I would also have to say I have never heard President Bush Jr. claim to be a Fascist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmngretsch14 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Alright let's not go ganging up on Homz now--and furthermore, I'm pretty sure the Gibson server is somewhere in this country, (the US of A) and therefore forums should be protected under the first amendment. I dont expect anyone will actually read this, but for everyone about to get all pissy about politics, here is the definition of Fascism In 1932 Mussolini wrote (with the help of Giovanni Gentile) and entry for the Italian Encyclopedia on the definition of fascism. Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism -- born of a renunciation of the struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have courage to meet it. All other trials are substitutes, which never really put men into the position where they have to make the great decision -- the alternative of life or death.... ...The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide: he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, but above all for others -- those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after... ...Fascism [is] the complete opposite of…Marxian Socialism, the materialist conception of history of human civilization can be explained simply through the conflict of interests among the various social groups and by the change and development in the means and instruments of production.... Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism; that is to say, in actions influenced by no economic motive, direct or indirect. And if the economic conception of history be denied, according to which theory men are no more than puppets, carried to and fro by the waves of chance, while the real directing forces are quite out of their control, it follows that the existence of an unchangeable and unchanging class-war is also denied - the natural progeny of the economic conception of history. And above all Fascism denies that class-war can be the preponderant force in the transformation of society.... After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or in its practical application. Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers alone can govern by means of a periodical consultation, and it affirms the immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of mankind, which can never be permanently leveled through the mere operation of a mechanical process such as universal suffrage.... ...Fascism denies, in democracy, the absur[d] conventional untruth of political equality dressed out in the garb of collective irresponsibility, and the myth of "happiness" and indefinite progress.... ...iven that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, of Liberalism, and of Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority...a century of Fascism. For if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the State.... The foundation of Fascism is the conception of the State, its character, its duty, and its aim. Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State. The conception of the Liberal State is not that of a directing force, guiding the play and development, both material and spiritual, of a collective body, but merely a force limited to the function of recording results: on the other hand, the Fascist State is itself conscious and has itself a will and a personality -- thus it may be called the "ethic" State.... ...The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone.... ...For Fascism, the growth of empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of decadence. Peoples which are rising, or rising again after a period of decadence, are always imperialist; and renunciation is a sign of decay and of death. Fascism is the doctrine best adapted to represent the tendencies and the aspirations of a people, like the people of Italy, who are rising again after many centuries of abasement and foreign servitude. But empire demands discipline, the coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice: this fact explains many aspects of the practical working of the regime, the character of many forces in the State, and the necessarily severe measures which must be taken against those who would oppose this spontaneous and inevitable movement of Italy in the twentieth century, and would oppose it by recalling the outworn ideology of the nineteenth century - repudiated wheresoever there has been the courage to undertake great experiments of social and political transformation; for never before has the nation stood more in need of authority, of direction and order. If every age has its own characteristic doctrine, there are a thousand signs which point to Fascism as the characteristic doctrine of our time. For if a doctrine must be a living thing, this is proved by the fact that Fascism has created a living faith; and that this faith is very powerful in the minds of men is demonstrated by those who have suffered and died for it.

rmngretsch14 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Of course I am about as anti-facist as you can get, so I didnt write that Mussolini did--but I can see where President Bush takes on a few characteristics of a fascist, just as Obama takes on a few of a socialist, of course there is what we call a political spectrum, so there are places in between, so Bush can classify himself as a Republican, and Obama can be a Democrat, and I can be a Civil Liberatarian, who voted for a Democrat to protect the constitution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the text book definition do a web search. As far as a Socialism goes, I am not one. So I don't really care how your definition ties it to the democratic party. I don't always agree with the democratic party. I don't agree with an group or person all the time. If you need to show your conservative buds you have street creds then by all means do your thing. Publish your manifesto, diary, ramblings. What ever makes you happy. I will do the same. You may be surprised that I don't tow the party line on every issue.
