Trends And Ron Paul » Shoutwire.com

Ron Paul seems to be getting Bashed as of late.

The battle of art vs. trends still rages on in a bloody identity rampage. Innocent personalities get pillaged and their little children loose their imaginative limbs in the cross fire and can no longer walk on their own. TRAGEDY! Blood soaked fashion cloths and emotional hair cuts. War between who is fake and who is real. Who is a example of good marketing and who is the artist? I know we all think we aren't susceptible to markets..but guess what!? Your Wrong. We are. Good Ideas only last for as long as they stay out of the profit cock suckers and opportunity whores.

The ranks are in such an order. Skip if you don't care.
1.Status Quo (mainstream) ->
Which intern creates->
2.Counter Culture Subcultures (ex. Anarchist, Punk, Graffiti, Hip-hop, Grunge, Hippy...ect)
3.Then spawns the markets to the counter cultures->
Marketed subculture, which were once REAL subcultures, but in getting "bigger" became marketed and now is part of or an off branch of the status quo AKA mainstream. (skateboarder, punk, you know) Everything marketed soon become desaturated, partly because of the Popularity. So what do we do! REBEL! REBEL! REBEL!..or conform...

But this is where Ron Paul comes in. The internet now is not just about research and entertainment, but is also a place to HANG OUT.

Yes.

..Thats just the way it is. I feel ya. But if you participate one way or another you probably know who Ron Paul is. (unless you are socially masturbating on myspcae..in that case, fuck off vanity!) Not only know who he is, but know every-fucking-thing-about him. He is everywhere.
But why is it that people that once embraced this man are now bashing him and being like, "yeah, I'm over him." Is this the law of ART VS. TRENDS? Who's the Shoutwire philosopher! we need this question answered! Whatever the reasons might be, I'm having a hard time cultivating the idea of Bashing him because they see to0 much of him. Is it just instinctive to gravitate away from something you see too much? (answer please, shoutwire philosophers)

I'm going to be blunt. People that bash him are fucking incompetent lethargic losers. Let me explain. The illogicality of hating on something that is trying to benefit you is beyond comprehension. Whether it be Ron Paul or not. I know you people see too much of him and your o' so precious entertainment is loosing it's happy value. But this is your life, and this is finally something big enough to influence the things around you for the better. Does that mean Ron Paul is the answer to everything? FUCK NO! It's the fact that the message is clear and it encourages dissidence. Something that humanity needs. Ok ill stop being gushy.

If you don't like Ron Paul, then find something better that is just as positive. Create a new...Trend?

Maybe you can get my drift. The 2 side are the dicks who love RP. I am SO sick of the articles too.

And the dicks who hate RP.

IMO they are both responsible for the sheer amount of crap we have to wade through. It's like the RP supporter's have something to prove and won't quit. Annoying as hell.
And the RP haters also won't quit bashing and ripping-in.

Yes there are other candidates, but as you say they're never mentioned so it has turned into RP supporters VS everyone else. Positve RP comments vs negative RP comments. UNDERSTAND, retard.

I am NOT bashing the negative commenters but simply pointing out that they contribute just as much as the blind supporters to the on-going spew of non-sense. You just didn't get that. I did bash both sides or neither side, either way it wasn't about RP but the ongoing shit we have to wade through. I think my eyes will start to bleed if I have to read any more 'RP does...talk...etc"

I have been ignoring commenting in RP articles for a while. And I agree that 'he' or the RP supporters are getting what they deserve for just spewing so much shit.

IMACULATE, you obviously don't get my drift at all if you think that I think of RP as a messiah.

(my favourite candidate was gone ages ago, and I do think RP may be the best of a bad bunch but that is not the point of this comment)

...I was rather pointing at the fact that, and one sentence now so that you can "get my drift"

Would everyone, dissers (or other candidate supporters ;)) and RP supporters please shut the fuk up, you're all equally to blame for this shit"

Dissers are always saying it's the supporters and I was just drawin attention to the fact that they FUEL the BS just as much as the BLIND followers.

ONCE AGAIN, I am not an RP supporter, my candidate lost long ago. I do think he is the best of a bad lot and that ppl all need to shut the fuk up because EVERYONE is sick of RP now. now.

"There is no balance like you suggest", I think I was pointing to the imbalance also. Yes I realise there are other candidates but they are never mentioned, as you say, and that is why it HAS TURNED INTO A STUPID RP VS battle.

OH and you can't blame me for wanting to rip the pussy comment, I just couldn't let it slide. 24/7, I'm only here for an hour or so at the most.

Maybe this is where I got a little side-tracked which resulted in a bit of confusion.

Allright, if I inadvertently put you in the RP fan base, my apologies, but that's because most RP supporters say exactly the same things as you said.

"24/7, I'm only here for an hour or so at the most."

Me about one or two hours a day. But RP is here 24/7, every time when I open up the browser he's there on the frontpage and when an article leaves the next one is already submitted and shouted up.

1 - "I am NOT bashing the negative commenters but simply pointing out that they contribute just as much as the blind supporters to the on-going spew of non-sense. You just didn't get that"

2 - "IMO they are both responsible for the sheer amount of crap we have to wade through"

I did get what you meant, I just don't accept that as a viable comparison.

I refuse to accept that there is some sort of equality between an "submitted article" and a mere "posted comment".

Articles get on the frontpage and comments are only placed within the articles. Therefore a comment is always a REACTION to an article. An article is not a reaction to a comment.

The articles are the base of this shit, and not the comments. You can not just look at the amount of characters typed and printed on a webpage. You got to look at context as well.

People keep asking this same question over and over again, what was there first, the chicken or the egg? Well, with ShoutWire that question is non-existent, FIRST there's the article and THEN there's the comment.

And the only way to level all positive RP articles is to submit just as much articles about other presidential candidates or to submit just as much negative RP articles.

Comments don't count in the same way as an article, just as a 1 dollar note doesn't give you the same purchasing power as a 100 dollar note, even though they are similar in size.
