Xanga.com a beta test for the Fourth Reich?
As a chile after I learnt about the holocaust i always asked myself---Would I have the chutzpah to stand up to the Nazis if I lived during those times???
Looks like we're living through those times now, and I'm glad to report, the answer is a resounding NO!!!
Okay, Xanga is not the world, but it's a microcosm of what is happening on the internet.
This post and the comments it received shows a disturbing trend...
Sure, there's been restrictive communities on the internet catering to nerds and the biblehumping turds that run those sites, I've encountered those before at Dave Chappelle's site and Blog-it, which was then known as the Blogging Network...a bunch of "progressives" who don't use the so-called "N" word, but who more likely than not have thought nigger more than once...and this so-called liberating experience that is supposed to be the internet is now denigrating to the oppresive Fifties pseuber-Victorian mentality that crucified Lenny Bruce and made it taboo to shoot Elvis below the hips when he appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show...but does it go deeper than that?
TRIED three times to finish this post...but it kept going to white-screen with DONE by the "e" so what was written thrice is now lost in cyberspace!!!
Went into Xanga to see if i could cut & paste the HTML and discovered you can export it to here...so on the next post i'll try that.....
Except for last night, damn, I always highlight & copy posts before posting. This has saved me many tears (sometimes I post to 4 sites, I know, crazy).
Yeah, it's easy to copy from Xanga and paste here - sometimes you have to remove some stray html, like (font) or something, but it works fine.
