Comments on: re-stressing importance of openness and honesty http://livingtech.net/2003/08/29/re-stressing-importance-of-openness-and-honesty/ blog for blog's sake Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:19:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: DualBios http://livingtech.net/2003/08/29/re-stressing-importance-of-openness-and-honesty/#comment-442 DualBios Mon, 08 Sep 2003 15:55:56 +0000 http://livingtech.net/blog2/?p=438#comment-442 Coming from a country that isn't the USA, I can see John Titor for what he really is. A right wing conservative American, who thinks that guns are great and that big government (with their taxes) corrupts the real crux of civilisation, the small community. He's from Florida, or another southern state, no surprises there and thinks that he should have the right to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants with noone to tell him otherwise. Believe me, it's clear if you're not from the U.S lol. Just check out his "suggestions" for life. 'Get comfortable with a gun' or how there are no income taxes in 2036 hmmm *para*. Yeah, ok.Freak. He comes from 2036 where everyone lives on farms in little communities and die when the time is right, rather than trying to live, where factories are rare. Yet the internet is bigger than it is now, with faster chips etc etc and of course time machines. Obviously there must be some real dynamo's working the fields during the day and making mother boards by night. Tops. His comment that pop-music (and other forms of culture that he doesn't respect) is extinct in 2036 is just laughable and that's of course before you get to the civil war, the nuclear war and then the 5 presidents in Omaha thing. Of course he is right even when all that stuff doesn't happen though, because he's on a different "worldline" raaaaah Coming from a country that isn’t the USA, I can see John Titor for what he really is. A right wing conservative American, who thinks that guns are great and that big government (with their taxes) corrupts the real crux of civilisation, the small community.

I'll respond anyway. I should really devote an entire entry to this topic, as I know I can go on and on about it, but since I've just posted something that I feel was particularly interesting this morning, I'll save that entry for later. Basically, the short answer is that yes, I fear commitment. But not, I don't think, for the reasons that said anonymous poster no doubt thinks I fear it. Rather, I fear disloyalty. I fear for the committed relationship that I would get into and then fuck up because I basically don't even want a monogamous relationship, and how could I possibly lie to myself and my partner and expect to stay in one?
