Inflatable_Man February 21, 2005 12:07 AM	Tomorrow I'm gonna get incredibly high and watch 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' and probably cry like a little bitch. I haven't been this pissed off about a celebrity death since the original Q died.

MikeyG February 21, 2005 6:19 AM	This is one of the most tragic things I've heard in a very, very long time. This is going to sound cheesy, but... Thank you, Mr. Thompson.

possums February 21, 2005 12:55 PM	This leaves an ambiguous end note to an ambiguous life, and I think Hunter probably wanted it that way. God, this is really depressing... Is it still too late for a "Colorado is the Worst State in the Union" thread?

You can stop holding your breathe for something funny, or at least for me to make a joke about you. There's no point when you are a joke to begin with.

PS I have no clue who you are, don't know, don't care. Just being an ass.

dcomposed February 28, 2005 9:15 AM	All I know of this guy is fear and loathing, and that's because I saw the movie. Based on that, I can say out of ignorance that killing himself is the best thing he's ever done. It will be a great ending for the sequel. PLUS HE WAS A FAT BALD SMELLY JERK HEY.

possums March 2, 2005 8:43 PM	You know, I'm pretty pissed at Hunter for going and killing himself... all it's doing is making those douchewhores at Newsweek write shit like, "Well, it's no suprise he killed himself! HE WAS A HIPPIE!" How fucking shitty is that? GOD! CHRIST! GOD-JESUS!
Post #168711	link

Spankling March 2, 2005 9:29 PM	For those who read, his Hells Angels stuff was pretty good. And the BOOK Fear and Loathing was far better than the movie. But chewing bullets sucks. I get mad at people for stuff like that. 'specially with kids in the house.

possums March 2, 2005 9:51 PM	Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was a great book and a great movie. Different, both, but still great.
Post #168723	link

Inflatable_Man March 3, 2005 9:30 AM	I hate how the mainstream media is fawning over him now that he's dead, but of course when he was alive they called him a junkie and a degenerate. HST rallied against the same ignorant, conformist fuckwads who are now shedding crocodile tears over his death.

No, I'm very "normal human being who feels the way he feels and does their best to act well about it".

I know who HST was, what he did, and I think he was overhyped. Sure he had an impact, but i think it was unwarranted. Am I not entailed to an opinion now because the mighty force of your judgment reigns supreme?

It's very simple, boorite. He imposed or bestowed his opinion on a specified person.

It makes perfect sense, if we replace the word entailed with the exact same conjugative form of the definition. The italics demarcate the replacement.

quote:
Am I not imposed or bestowed upon a person or specified succession of heirs an opinion now because the mighty force of your judgment reigns supreme?

See? Perfect lateral replacement.

Also, Hunter S. Thompson carries a lot of stigma with him because he's associated with debauchery and overindulgence. If you're too stupid to see past that into his actual prosaic ability, then you're not fucking fit to comment on it.

Hwa?!? Where's that quote from? Are you quoting yourself... like in the third person?

quote:

It's become very popular with the right wing to protect pre-judgments under what they say is merely the freedom of opinion. Opinions are very personal, what you spew are your peer's talking points.

boorites right, it was a typo. I meant to write entitled.

Perhaps some of you can tell I have a much different personality after getting spending most of my time out of the house, getting a paycheck and being on the road to get the fuck out. It'll be another year or two before I've escaped, but rest assured I still have the morals I used to, just more of the wisdom I didn't. I like to poke around here every now and again because I smell good posts.

1. Yes I was. You may discover people doing this with a satirical air from time to time as you progress through life.

2. What you've done is taken my personal opinion and identified it with a stereotype based on what my reputation is. Even if my statements resemble some kind of generalization that the right wing might make, I do not represent the right wing or stand for it merely because I possibly sound like it. Disregarding my political views and retaining my literary tastes and opinions on personal character, Thompson was a fruitcake. A popular, somewhat talented fruitcake, but a fruitcake none the less.

Hunter S. Thompson was no less of a fruitcake than anyone else with an intellect that far surpasses the average man. He realized that working day in and day out at a shitty job just to make ends meet was soul-death. Those of us with that level of intellect realize the same things, but the stronger (or weaker?) of that group of us realize that there's nothing much to be done about it. Hunter S. Thompson carved out a fucking UNIQUE existence in a world that thrives on mundanity. For this I will always and truly be grateful beyond words.

My only request is that, in the future, you edit your remarks to leave out words like "another." The rest is your opinion and I can bear it, but the Good Doctor was one of a kind.

I was wrong, I'm sorry. He's only 19. And I gather you are also still a teenager. Ah yes, I remember the days when I thought adults mistook my level of maturity and worldiness. How dare they! Well I have grown to realize that I was just being an adolecent. It's what we all do and we're almost always ignorant at that age.
