    Ok, now about Malcolm in the Middle at BURNING MAN tonight! Hal, Rand, Jack......more

    opinions?


    i think it wasn't bad. i liked it. i have never attended, but i have always had this vision of it and what it stands for. i don't really think they violated it. it showed that even though you are a "regular" person you can still let loose and have a good time and not feel bad about it. i love that they made the dad into performance art. that was great. they played to alot of the stereotypes that i hear so much about. i think that they put alot of thought and attention to detail into it now that i think about it more and more. i expected a total massacre of something so great. i got to say, as much as i don't want to like it, it was cool to watch it play out and not be disgusted. i guess i will see the year that i am lucky enough to attend. what did you think?

        I'm very curious.

        It would be like if Malcom went to Mecca. Lots of potential to disrespect. But we shall see.

                Somehow I don't think an event attended by less than 100,000 in the dry heat is on the same level of the most holy city for a religion of hundreds of Millions.

                Maybe if you had of said Malcom goes to the "Rocky Horror Picture Show".

                                    anyone who attends is willing to die for burning man, it's on the back of the ticket you purchase to be there - a contract of sorts. i am willing to die for the freedom of expression - similar to how an american soldier is willing to die for his/her country. it's just a matter of each persons' individual beliefs. i'm not sure why you're attacking ours - i can only assume it's your ignorance of the spirituality of the playa; understandable if you've never experienced it.

                                      no worries, it's about to come on and i haven't really read the bits of this thread specifically about it; just saw that you thought it did an alright job of pointing out that everyone's welcome/you don't have to look "crazy" to attend. thanks for the reminder that it's on though!

                                          I'm not attacking your beliefs at all. I'm questioning them. There's a marked difference.

                                          Since you brought it up though, I will say that I find many of your "spiritual beliefs" to be silly at best, "playa".

                                            well, west coast has it on the screen now, so we wil see.


                                            warchild just needs to learn to identify the tone of the room and respect people who are discussing something is all. i'm sure he isn't a bad guy.


                                            btw, PLAYA is a commercial term. there is nothing spiritual about it, so it would appear that you are out of context. no offense.

                                              It's not like I'm wishing ill upon any of you. I don't want to change your minds, and I'm not calling anybody stupid.

                                              I would submit that even taking the time to offer a dissenting opinion is a form of respect to the room and the discussion. Writing it off as childish and dismissing it all together would be the true form of disrespect.

                                              Further more, if you read carefully, you called me an Idiot for daring to ask questions in your discussion.

                                                you are correct. your first amendment right is protected here. you can interject and offer your opinon, of course. iidiot was retracted by me, the author of the thread in the same thread. whats the problem?

                                                no one is really upset with you man. this is gfy, but the threads that actually do have some sort of substance to the and not "i'd hit it threads" or worse, or guarded comparatively to a brinks truck full of gold.

                                                basically, i guess there are some things that some people take seriously, while others do not.

                                                thats no big deal. we are all different.

                                                    i really am sorry sweetie. i am not used to posting with this time difference. what did you guys think of the show?

                                                        first off, I have tried to explain a bit of why Burning Man is spiritual to me here: http://halcyon.lustmonkey.com

                                                        As for the show, I was impressed. And I thought it was funny. It did not make fun of Burning Man. It *poked* fun of certain aspects, teased some people, but mostly, it showed respect and showed much more than boobies and crazies on drugs.

                                                        I'm happily surprised. The best mainstream portrayal to date.

                                                          Since you brought it up though, I will say that I find many of your "spiritual beliefs" to be silly at best, "playa".

                                                              where actually is the threshold of on a groups (less than 100,00) belief being more qualified or appreciated by society than another, or equal to actulally? that is my question. what if burning man was the next mecca in 200 years, 500 years? is that fathomable to people? burning man is very much like mecca. it is a crusade, annually, very, very much like mecca. you may have chosen a bad example warchld?

                                                                    first off, I have tried to explain a bit of why Burning Man is spiritual to me here: http://halcyon.lustmonkey.com

                                                                    As for the show, I was impressed. And I thought it was funny. It did not make fun of Burning Man. It *poked* fun of certain aspects, teased some people, but mostly, it showed respect and showed much more than boobies and crazies on drugs.

                                                                    I'm happily surprised. The best mainstream portrayal to date.

I find all organized and structured religions to be a crutch for the weak. A need to believe in something coupled with an inabillity to think as an individual. I actually have a marked distain for religion. It's the greatest tool the strong use to control the weak.

                                                                            haha, i have a similar issue with all the current slang in songs, when a person is referred to as a "playa," i think "how odd, they're a plot of desert salt flats..."

I think that some of it's precepts as I understand them are far more healthy than Western religions which require one to abide by the rules that may or may not make sense.

                                                                                              It may be unfair to call Burning Man a religion but it surely is a spiritual event for those who attend. I will have to check it out sometime, just for the experience.
