Coconutism -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I was bored at work and indulging in a bit of casual racism with my Asian workmate... who called me a coconut. For those not familiar with the term it refers to those perceived as brown on the outside and white on the inside. He then admitted to being a coconut himself. The term, to anyone with half a brain holds no water, but maybe because of this fact we decided to create a religion called coconutism. And I thought, I wonder what the Writers Beat crew would say. So this is a hypothetical brainstorm. Any law you think should be enforced, anything you think is wrong today that could be changed. Whatever it may be, however wacky or ridiculous this is a chance to build a society on the things you hold dear. The Coconut Commandments. Now you can probably tell I haven't given this much thought, please don't take it too seriously, unless you really have to. Suggestions, challenges all welcomed and here's a few to get started with... 1. It will be the general philosophy of the coconut's office that no drug worth taking shall be sold for money. My first act as coconut will be to install on the coconuts' lawn a set of stocks to punish dishonest dope dealers. (one from hunter) 2. You can (*)(*)(*)(*) anyone you like in however which way you choose as long as everyone involved is a consenting adult. 3. There will be no leaders or place of worship or judicial system allowed to profit from coconut marriage. 4. Divorce is fine but will be settled between the people involved and if they cant come to an agreement they will just have to grow up. 5. You now have no ethnic origin everyone is a coconut. 6. Be friendly where possible. 7. People are to be treasured, more than anything else. 8. 9. You will not define yourself by coconutism, or the colour of your skin, sense of identity will not come from your facial features or ancestry, our general philosophy for identity will stem from being members of the planet earth. Therefore judgement is applied in the words of Martin Luther King by the content of your character. 10. We do not preach coconutism. Preaching is for (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s. We discuss moralities but refrain from actively seeking to convert. 11. Anyone can be a coconut it is inclusive. 12. Coconutism will never be profitable, but can be charitable. 13. To convert to a coconut a coconut you have drink coconut water, and cook with coconut milk... every so often.

Slow everything day mate. I'm OK in England personally, being the selfish bastard that I am I find it hard concentrating on all the belly aching. I earn enough to survive, the sun is shining, and the government aren't shooting at me, that'll do, I'm a true prole like that.
Well that's all down to perceptions. What do you call living? I'll be off to Lake Ouidane soon, do some rafting and whatnot should be some good existing. But even if I wasn't I can manage to live without being rich - is that what you're getting at?
Haha, I was pulling your leg, pretending casual racism could only originate from the UK (Fawlty Towers, etc). But in truth, I'm cool with you
Ah, I've been a bit of a dunce in this thread, I didn't really gather that, or recognise Old timer's reference to 1984 which is criminal! Must have not been with it yesterday.
