read some stuff by alan watts.  It's fairly easily digestible stuff on eastern religion written by a westerner

I did a quick goodle search of him and he sounds a bit like a quack and the books by him on amazon are mostly all self help stuff. the sort of stuff you would read at a drug rehab center or fat camp. That fact that he is a westerner is kinda worrying too. I get a feeling westerners especially in the u.s. tend to fetishize eastern religions the same way I fetishize eastern women. Thanks for the input though.

Whatever, homophobe.

Lol. Calm down, Proctor. I have a very good friend who is gay and I've worked with several of them without any problems except for one douchebag who was a douchebag in general and got his probed ass fired for his actions. Or more likely for the lack of them at work.

says the guy recommending alan watts in a book thread, hahahahaha.

yeah great recommendation if you're into lighting a doobie and watching youtube montages of an old guy talking over hubble space telescope photos.

bongggggg

schopenhauer writes good stuff on the east. but none of you fucking dumbies actually fucking read.

nothing like someone who isn't a homophobe who can only refer to homosexuals with a remark about anal sex.

His nigger comment wasn't purposely trying to be offensive. He was making fun of Ultrafunkula's gay equivalent of "I have a black friend". I thought it was fairly obvious and on point.

i dont have many friends so its ok

Hey, I have a Somali friend too! But he supports ManU, so I guess he's one of those naggers then. Jew friends I don't have, that I could use in the same way, so that probably makes me straight up anti semitic if I call them with some horrible words. Shit. Anyhoo, seems like reasoning at these forums in general is as useful as taking a piss in a high voltage transformer. Fag faggity fag fag fag.
















Jeez, lighten up

Has the r word been mentioned yet

I am pretty suspicious about Ultrafunkula now. Usually when a person says and defends a bigoted statement, they carry other vile opinions and views as well. It probably has to do with their attitude and personality.

For instance, have you ever heard of a white supremacist defending feminism or giving a talk about gay rights being okay? Whenever an entertainer loses his job for saying something bad about Jewish people, homophobes always come out to attack "political correctness" taking away an anti-semites business opportunities.

The inverse is also true. I am sure if you go and poll the LGBT people on a Final fantasy forum, you will find a significant or overwhelming majority will have negative views on police tear gassing peaceful black protesters.

I am keeping an eye on you now Ultrafunkula, gay bashing homophobe.

What should we expect from you then beyond the usual kitty stomping, asian fetishizing and fascism? Glass houses dude

Strong opinions regarding Japanese video games and militarization, thank you very much.

I meant to word that differently then didn't.

Japanese video games are pretty good. Not the anime ones but the big franchises rock. When it comes to art, music, television, literature etc., basically anything creative, East Asian (Japan, Korea, China to a lesser extent) is the only culture that rivals western culture in their quality of output. Islamic, Russian, African cultures put out a lot of great stuff in the past but they seem to have just stalled.

what a ludicrous comment. russian literature is in fine condition, and, arguably, produced more world-class masterpieces than any other tradition in a time-span of about 20 years. there was a pre-revolutionary period in the 19th century when russia commanded the prose-novel form, so far ahead of anyone else that all the rest of the civilized world could do was gasp (and russia was still largely, brutally uncivilized back then).

african literature had an incredible renaissance in the post-colonial era. read chinua achebe or fanon. ditto latin america.

islamic cultures have produced writers like orhan pamuk from turkey, who won a nobel prize and wrote some of the most beautiful, elaborate prose since nabokov or proust. he came out of istanbul when it was at its absolute historical nadir. and, this isn't much related to a book club, but iranian cinema is also having a major boom and is widely regarded at film festivals the world over.

i don't get where you pull such preposterous generalisations from, but evidently it isn't from your patient and wide reading (do you even read literature or art much at all? or just browse porno subreddits and throw out this bullyshit).
