On Drinking Urine

I don't value blanket, unthinking "tolerance". As Marilyn Manson once sung "Love everybody is destroying the value of 'All hate has got me is nowhere.'"

"Tolerance" is often a mask for the game of social approval.

 If someone drinks their own piss, so what? It may not be my cup of tea, but it's their prerogative. I might be curious to learn something about the practice to increase my understanding about acquired tastes, biochemistry, and even the imbiber's state of mind and  reasons for doing it, but I have absolutely no need to give approval of it or validate it in any way.

Lessons Learned From Hoaxing: Man of Steel

I thought that the 'deeper meaning' of the most recent Superman movie couldn't be more clear. With the filmmakers being so obvious about it, it really surprised me that anyone could miss it.  The filmmakers were so obvious about what they wanted to say that I regard Man of Steel as the most "preachy" movie of all time. (Finally surpassing the all time winner of movie preachydom, Return of the Living Dead part III). [1]

Alas, despite having their noses rubbed in the point of the movie repeatedly, nearly everyone missed it. By miles. Only one of small sub-culture actually understood what The Man of Steel was all about -- self-proclaimed individualists. This wasn't so much a surprise because the movie is about individualism.

But this post isn't about the hits. It's about the misses, and this brings me to my time as a hoaxer. [2]
