LISTEN to the voice of your MASTERS!

There are people different from you. Difference is bad. (fear) Difference breeds isolation and individuality. (Individuality is bad) You are lonely, you are scared when you are lonely (being lonely is bad, being alone is bad, you are bad), you are different from everyone when you are lonely. (you are the problem) You want to belong, you want to be part of the crowd. (lonely is bad, belonging is good)

Group A is good. You want to be in Group A. Group A is good, belonging is good, belonging to Group A is very good. Group A buys all the rights products, Group A thinks all the right thoughts. (you desire Group A) You want to belong to Group A. You will buy Group A's products, you will think Group A's thoughts. (consuming is good) Belonging is good, you want to belong.

You belong to Group A, you are a part of Group A. (Group A is you, Group A owns you) You identify with Group A, but Group A is better than you. (you are inferior) You want to be Group A (Group A provides your identity) Group A is not different than you, there is nothing to fear in Group A. Group A is your friend. (you trust Group A) You do not want to leave Group A. It would be very bad if you left Group A. You will follow Group A's rules so you do not have to leave Group A. (OBEY) Group A is very important to you.

Group A can help you. Group A will fix all your problems. (you have problems) When you buy Group A's products, all your problems go away. You love Group A, you love Group A's products. (intense attachment) You will always buy Group A's products. (Consuming is good) You are confused but Group A has all the answers. (you have no questions)

Not everyone belongs to Group A. (bad) Group A wants everyone to belong to Group A (you want everyone to belong to Group A) belonging to Group A is good for everyone. (Group A is superior) You know everyone will be happy to belong to Group A. (you are superior) You will introduce your friends and relations to Group A. (Group A is more important than them)

Group B is not like Group A, Group A does not like Group B. (you do not like Group B) Group B scares you, you want Group B to go away. Group A knows what is best, Group A will make Group B go away. (good) Group B is inferior to Group A. You must do what Group A tells you to make Group B go away. (OBEY) If you buy Group A's products, if you think Group A's thoughts, Group B will go away. (good)

Everyone will belong to Group A. (inevitable, resistance is futile) Group A is the best. You live for Group A. (you will die for Group A) Group A knows what is best so you know what is best. (absolutism)

You love Group A (more than yourself) you want Group A. (more than anything else) Group A is the best.

Group A is the pirates and Group B is the ninjas, right?

Can we do this on a Venn diagram? My brain hurts.

Typical blinkered Group A / Group B worldview. Group C utterly ignored, yet again, despite our many historic achievements and contributions to the general weal: the invention of cat glassing and the cheese football, our prowess at camel's back breaking and crestfalling, our fondness for crunchy nut cornflakes, our disproportionate consumption of chicken with cashew nuts.

Is it any wonder we resent Group A (arrogant arseholes) and revile Group B (bumptious brutes)?

You must try to be more inclusive and appease out bruised sensibilities every so often or else we will stamp our cloven hooves and bare our pointy teeth. And, if any pusillanimous Group D (decadent dolts) people are thinking of posting, just forget it. Nobody's interested in you, splitters!. Alphabetically challenged rearguard.

Egad! Has Rev. Jesse joined the Inner Circle? Say it ain't so!

Pah, it's group D which are the real powers behind the throne...
 
 
pointless and uncalled for
09:54 / 16.02.03
I can't cope with a Venn diagram, can I have a Zen diagram?

Has Rage hijacked Rev. Jesse's suit, or something?

Group Arrrrrr.

I'd prefer a phlegm diagram. All the others make me sick.

This is disgusting. "Historic achievements"? What you mean is that Group C are a bunch of hasbeens, clinging desperately to their so-called wisdom, their marmoreal heirarchy. As for group D-- hah! "Power behind the throne"? The last time I checked, Group D were down to three and a part-timer. And that's if you count the stuffed labrador in the lobby.

Join Group E! You know it makes sense!

Nah, who wants to be a Group E groupie?

Aren't we all hanging on for Group X?
 
 
William Sack
19:56 / 16.02.03
Fuck Group X and their hypocritical "War on Soma." Group H for me.
 
 
Ganesh
19:58 / 16.02.03
Their 'Preparation' certainly eases my InnerCircle...
 
 
Jack Fear
19:59 / 16.02.03
There's always Group I.

Solipsism is great! Everyone should try it!

I'd like a Sven Diagram, please. Like one that comes with flatpack furniture. Still won't understand it, but at least it'll have a cutesy name.

And while we're on the subject: I'd like to take this opportunity to refute the totally spurious and unfounded accusations that Group E's literature, instructional videos and online information contains GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY subliminal messages. This is a WE'RE DEAD SEXY, US base canard, a BUY US DRINKS scurrilous and VODKA AND COKE AND LOTS OF PEANUTS! totally untrue attempt by my BUY ONE OF OUR T-SHIRTS WHILE YOU'RE AT IT opponants to discredit the good AND A MOUSE-MAT. YOU REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE MOUSE-MATS name of Group E. This is ensorship by the back door. IF YOU DON'T GET ONE OF OUR AMUSING BUMPER STICKERS EVERYON'LL WANT TO KICK YOUR CAR.

Thanks for listening.

I would like to take this opportunity to denounce all of your imperialism and hegemony of alphabet.
Long live group Я !

04:57 / 17.02.03
hmm... that is not at all the reaction I expected.

This seems to be a trend.
 
 
Sax
08:06 / 17.02.03
So the winners of Group A play the runners up in Group B, and the winners of Group B play the runners up of Group A. Is that right?

Trust us to get the Group of Death again.

Come on Hursty!
 
 
Mourne Kransky
09:50 / 17.02.03
That was the plan, Sax, until Mordant got access to the P.A. system, with her evil subliminal mind control methods. Now Group A has merged with the Dagenham Girl Pipers and Group B has stolen the trophy and pawned it. They're on the plane to Magaluf with the proceeds.

This means Group C triumphs by default! Everybody into the communal bath boys! Olé olé olé-é-é!

Group D wish it to be known they have changed their name and are now Group Ω. Look upon their works ye mighty and go "Ooh, that's nice. Do you have that in purple?"

Just to let you know, I just got this press release...

B
Group B is henceforth no longer Group B. It is now rebranding itself as "the group formerly known as B". And, of course, it is the new black. So ner.
 
 
Sax
12:23 / 17.02.03
I thought Group Dogdrill was the new black.
 
 
Quantum
12:29 / 17.02.03
Typical. I join group A to be one of the mainstream conformists only to discover I am the only one. Can't you people read? Individualism is BAD! Stoppit! Which group should I join now that group A has become the new group B (reviled and feared) and group B is the group formerly known as B? Which group is Barbelith? Somebody tell me what to do, I have nobody to obey! I CRAVE MINDLESS OBEDIENCE!
 
 
Mourne Kransky
12:49 / 17.02.03
Group E for you then Quantum - they have only one mind between them, and that's Mordant's. You'll get some lovely fresh Discipline there, straight out of the box, still warm to the touch.
 
 
Quantum
13:32 / 17.02.03
Yum, the bland pap of mediocrity. I always did like E...
 
 
Jub
14:38 / 17.02.03
I always did like E...

Q - I hope that's not a veiled referance to some sort of drug?!?!
No - sorry - re-reading it it's clear what you meant.
