i think it's very widespread in the smaller communities outside of the big cities, and even in some parts of the big cities. the closest association i can think of is the old southern/western towns of the US, particularly with the sentence, "we don't take kindly to the likes of you around here" wrapped around them. it's also not only just saying you're better than someone else, it's also (and i've noticed this a lot) if you speak up about issues or otherwise break a taboo silence. people don't want you to get to where they can't get to, and they don't generally favor change.

i don't think you as a young person can change it, even if you want to. it's your culture, it's the way you were brought up. you risk alienating/getting ostracized from your family, your friends and pretty much any relation you might have with people if you choose to be different.

since it seems very much to be in the mentality of people as well as in the culture, i think most people don't notice it (either consciously or subconsciously). i was raised differently; i reckon that's the reason i've noticed so much of it.

in addition to the jante law, non-confrontational-ism is also big in scandinavia

i agree, and i really can't stand this part of the culture.

wow brown noise is nice

i always imagined life was over by the time you were 30. after that time, you'd be chained down to your wife, house, kids, etc. i really don't want to settle down, ever.

fuck me that car ride looks realistic

that tv holder looks nice, i might have to pick up one of those for my new apartment

sounds very jung-ish, with his collective unconsciousness. i can't remember whether he argued that there would be something like that post death. it's an interesting thought though, and it sort of ties in with the concept of tabula rasa.

Quote from the0rthopaedicsurgeon

also, technically reincarnation does happen. there are only so many carbon, oxygen, hydrogen etc atoms on earth, so everybody probably shares some atoms with dinosaurs, kings, molluscs, basically any species that ever lived. long after i'm gone, parts of me will be in species, stars and maybe even planets that don't even exist yet, which is enough to make me not worry about what happens when i am dead.

yeah i've always had that in mind myself, it is also pretty much what made me rethink the case of death.

i don't believe in any gods or deities, but i like to think that there are more things than we can perceive or even imagine. the universe (or even, what lies beyond the universe) was never built for humans alone, so to think that we can see everything let alone consciously understand it is in my mind very arrogant. i have wondered if the universe isn't just some sort of snowglobe or cage, and if there aren't beings outside this cage. perhaps these are the being some refer to as gods, and perhaps they have no interest. perhaps they are some sort of farmers that harvest energy or unknown substances from this universe. perhaps there's just another universe beyond this universe. perhaps there's nothing. perhaps i just can't understand it.

You got that from the Bible...

Erm... no, I didn't. lol

Why, is that phrase in the bible?

Quote from Serenius

I've never really understood portable gaming unless you spend a lot of time riding buses/trains, or have to spend a lot of time in airport lobbies. I used to see some guys from ES who would walk around with a DS or PSP plastered to their face constantly. Seems a little too hardcore.

well i always had the idea in my mind that people would randomly challenge me to tetris ds or some shit, but it turns out that not a lot of people actually have a ds, much less tetris ds...

Quote from Campaignjunkie

Actually, I'd make-up a word but make it easy to spell -- e.g. "Narbacular Drop"

if it is a contraction of words, otherwise it'd just be weird...

Quote from Steppenwolf

Personaly i'm afraid of the process of dying. Afraid that it could be horrible and painful. But i'm not afraid of death.

that's how i feel about it. i just imagine dying will be choking on your last breath, and suffocation does not seem so nice to me

so i was kinda inspired by the doomsday topic, but what do you people here think of death? do you fear it? do you not care? will you convert to all religions so that you may have a chance at afterlife even though you lived your life as an atheist?

keep in mind that i do not mean the death of others, more of what your own perception is of it.
