viva le resistance
I hope that's spelled right, my French is somewhat lacking.

This one goes out to all the wackjobs at DU, and most especially to the girl two semesters ago that wouldn't let me talk because my opinions are "Exactly the same as the Nazis'":

Der Resistance
Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 13% antitolerant, and 61% blindly patriotic
Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side.


Breakdown: Your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but
you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance
to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight Fuehrer with furor, so to speak.


Conclusion: Born and raised in Germany in the early
1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even
your friends' oppressors. Congratulations!



Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in Der Resistance!





Actually, I wasn't all that terribly impressed with the test; the questions are, perhaps by nature, awfully subjective. Having said that, I like that result, and hope I could live up to it in reality. Some of what they say is true; I am a patriot in the sense that I do think this country and what it stands for is the best thing going, I am willing to fight for it if need be (obviously), but there's only so much bullshit I'm willing to put up with. Really, I would be (and am) willing to fight for the ideas of America, the universal freedoms it stands for, more than simply for a flag and name. I hope that I would have the courage of my convictions when it came time to actually do something about it, under penalty of being ostracized, tortured and killed. Fighting in the German resistance is a truly scary thought, one that I hope I could pull off in reality but am terrified by just the thought of.

howdy, thanks for stopping by. what you're looking at is the intermittent ramblings of an iraqi vet, college student, goth-poseur, comic book reading, cheesy horror loving, punk listening, right-leaning, tech-obsessed, poorly typing, proudly self-proclaimed geek. occasionally, probably due to these odd combinations, i like to think i have some interesting things to say; this is where they wind up.



"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us...We need the books that affect us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside of us.
-Kafka
