We're not afraid of "carbs". We sometimes indulge in red meat. What if you like to mix a little fun into your life? Does that mean you live wrong? YES IT DOES.

Show the world that you're not ashamed of your lifestyle and don't apologise for it!

Well ok I dont like these faggotary wristabands, but does this not kinda defeat the point of what it is setting out to do?

Anyway I was speaking to my housemate today and he said the "blue anti bullying" wristband that was sent to me in the post, apparently I can sell it on ebay for muchos money. As they arent being made/sold anymore (god knows why I got sent one) and its the first of its kind, along with that armstrong dude, so I might keep it for a few more months, hope they sell some more gay wristbands and then cash in on it.

This livewrong is a good idea but is a bit like a friend of mine who set up a Anarchist Society...Having a society for anarchists to meet in a structured time each week, yada, yada, yada kinda defeats the point.

I bought some green darfur wristbands . I try to wear one, but because I wear wrist support because of my RSI (so you can't see it), it's pretty pointless. Plus it's very uncomfortable. I felt good buying them though.

only retards wear those wristbands. and you dont seem to know what anarchism means.

JonnyBGood · 5 Apr 2005, 03:15

Nobody knows what anarchism means. It's just a word people say sometimes.

This point has already been made but I'll re-emphasise the fact you are misunderstanding what anarchism means.

As a tip, if you're ever confused about the meaning of words there are quite a few helpful websites which can help you out. As a very basic start Dictionary.com can help give a simple (although sometimes misleading) definition.

You could also check Wikipedia if you want a more in-depth article on the subject at hand.

If you're in a rush what you could try to do is put "define : TERM" into Google (so in this case : define:Anarchsim). This will give you a list of different definitions from a variety of sources. It's careful to realise where the definitions come from (check the URL of each one) as each site might have it's own focus, etc. But here's one I like that comes up when you put in 'anarchism' :

Quote:

The idea that peaceful social cooperation can continue to exist without the institution of government, the social apparatus of coercion and compulsion.

I've bolded the section which seems relevent. So you see, unless your friend was violently forcing people to attend the meetings, it really wasn't that much of a contradiction at all!

I hope this helps you in your future internet endeavours.

Much the same as "empiricism" or "hedgehog".

SYMM · 5 Apr 2005, 09:54

I like hedgehogs, they are indeed very mysterious beasts.

And contrary to popular belief, they are not blue nor do they hang around with flying foxes.

Tomkat · 5 Apr 2005, 10:28

I have a pink one (breast cancer awareness) which I gave to my sister, and a blue one, which I never wear anymore.

I'm going to shove the blue one on E-bay soon pig. I have a feeling that come summer, they'll all be out of fashion, so don't wait too long.

Apothos · 5 Apr 2005, 10:50

Hedgehogs?

Precisely, god alone only hedgehogs what "empiricism" means.

Madina · 5 Apr 2005, 12:17

I told my sister that people with coloured wristbands means that you can kick them. She is only 3 and its well funny when she does it.

So to battle the wristbands tell little kids it means 'kick me' etc.

I like the googled definitions...

KoeN · 5 Apr 2005, 15:37

anti-wristband wristbands. how very punk.

Boogster · 5 Apr 2005, 17:19

And to think, I once thought the WWJD bracelets were uncool.
Never again can you insist that Christianity has brought nothing to modern society.

I am Idler · 5 Apr 2005, 18:30

I have tons of wristbands, in assorted forms

Androme · 5 Apr 2005, 23:32

I have a custom made wristband. You can get them for cheap as chips.

Mine is in white and says "Insert Neck In Here"

Tomkat · 6 Apr 2005, 15:11

I'd like a wristband that says "Remember kids: Along the street, not Across the road".

Blastoderm · 7 Apr 2005, 11:28

I just bought a Stand Up Speak Up wristband from NikeTown.

£1.50

Now all I need to do is get a cardboard, write a message on it and walk around in silence.

KaneED · 7 Apr 2005, 11:47

i wanted a lions one.

i had a couple of them, but everyone else wears them and they don't even know who lance armstrong is or what the wristband is all about so i took it off because that annoyed me. cancer hurts
