I'm talking like, life in prison with no chance of parole. Sometimes this actually happens and people go to prison forever, without the chance of parole, good behaviour or whatever else.
So i'm sitting there thinking, what's the difference between that and the death penalty?
All i can really see, is that in the end, we have a load of people rotting in jail costing money and space. Where as if they are dead, then they are dead.
Maybe that's morbid, but when they are on a life sentance, what really is the difference ?
I have to admit, that although i've been "on" the internet for a long time there are still plenty of things that amaze me. Mostly these come in the form of various memes, or in many cases just little things that are acceptable or common practice on the internet. Yet would be totally unacceptable anywhere else in the world, no matter what country or background you are from.
Also on the other side of that, internet in itself is aside from all of that. Thinking about it, it would be arguable that a man from Japan may automatically take his shoes off when entering a house, where as a man entering his house in England may not. Internet is another one of these, and in some cases, has its own little sub-cultures.
Certain message boards as an example, or auction sites may have their own etiquette. I think though, it's funny when you as an "experienced" user of the internet, well versed in various memes and subcultures and sub-subcultures see these abused or even misused.
An example i saw today, and the reason for this post in fact. Is while browsing ebay for trainers, i noticed that some auctions were being listed as "RARE".
Now, don't get me wrong a pair of shoes may well be "RARE" - but exactly how rare can a pair of Nike Air trainers, size 11 be? I could walk into town now and i'm sure i'd find the exact same pair on the shelf. Now looking back to the early days of ebay, RARE was used to describe something that was actually rare, or exceptional. A way of grabbing attention.
I'm sure, you like me put two and two together and realised that "RARE" has just become a marketing slogan, it's not really rare. But it's a way of saying "HEY COME AND HAVE A LOOK!!"
Sad really, since now when i search for things that might actually be rare, they are all rare.
About Vox yet again, i really should do this just for shits and giggles and well...to be honest maybe for a bit of sanity?
Let's see, what's on my mind at the moment...
Work is shit, i need a new job.
Money, from job.
etcetcetc
Playing MMOs again too ...
...to Vox, i promised to update regularly and have not done so. I really should but Facebook has taken over my life.
Maybe i should write something in here everyday, i need an aim, a goal, something!
Alright, i have an idea. A subject...once a day i will say something new about it. Lets see if i remember for tommorow. Please Vox remind me!
Ok, so it's a friends birthday tonight. Lots of Vodka will be involved and i need to think of some fun ways to get it down their throat faster.
Anyone got any ideas?
It's been a while since i posted here, but i just thought that i would say all is ok, well as much as i am going to let on to world anyway and for all of my 0 avid readers!
But i did come across a really cool movie that along with La Femme Nikkita really reinforces my previous belief that women are screwy.
I give you Hard Candy.
About women, to be totally honest. Although men can be quite fucked up too. And in fact, i would consider myself to be one of those fucked up guys that does things which really, in the big scheme of things are actually totally meaningless but we do them anyway.
I think it's safe to say i am a bad person, actually scratch that i am not a 'bad' person per say, but i certainly ain't no saint.
And for the second year in a row, there is no real woman in my life :(
Who are the last five people you called on your cell phone?
My mum
My nan
Some random number i don't know.
Potential girlfriend
Best friend
So family family, random, woman, best friend.
Wow, just wow.
