Thought this was a really funny video, maybe you guys might enjoy.

This is how we trip
"The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride." - Bill Hicks

Wow this video is stupid.

I don't find it funny, because it seems as if they are actually tripping... and they are giving it a horrible name. DXM is fun, but drinking cough syrup is not.

Flagged.

It's an amusing satire of trip behaviour and the pseudo-profound bullshit theorising that psychedelics tends to provoke in most people. That the first response on the Nexus is one of humourless disapproval and censorship I'm not surprised one bit.
Sometimes I believe that this less material life is our truer life, and that our vain presence on the terraqueous globe is itself the secondary or merely virtual phenomenon.

I thought it was pretty funny too. The mom was my favorite part, "Jesus Christ!... Larry, he's in the portal again!"

talk about over analyzing things

The video wasn't your type of humor? Nor was it mine.
Do not listen to anything, "Steely" says. He is a made up character that his owner likes to role play with. His owner is very delusional and everything he says is completely untrue and ridiculous.

It reminds me of those videos where they are smoking pot and run over the girl on the bike, or smoking pot and the kid shoots himself with a gun. They just are not needed. They poke fun at something that the majority of people don't truly understand, and they watch this video and even though they laugh it still gets put in their subconscious.

i wasnt amused either that is definitely not how we trip, and it just seems like they were making fun of it, not funny.

Haha! are you kidding me dude? You really think its like the drive thru video anti smoking ad? Its a joke video on youtube bro, not some mainstream commercial where people are hurting others. And the subconscious thing, really? you really think THAT since you just watched that video it is going to come back and haunt you in a later dmt trip or something? "OH NO IM STARTING TO THINK THE LIFE FORCE TRIANGLE IS REAL THE Y2K BUG REALLY DID HAPPEN!!!!" Laughing. If its not your type of humor that's fine, but don't try and say it gives tripping a bad name just because they are doing a bunch of random shit while "supposedly" tripping.

Why do you guys feel the need to get so polarized over what I think we can all recognize to be small potatoes? Giver of will, you posted a video you found to be funny with the community. The community is made up of free thinkers. Why not allow these people to view/interpret this joke as it is, without your defending it? Is the joke not strong enough to stand on its own merits?

To the rest: People have different senses of humor; no need getting bent out of shape trying to ascribe your own funnybone to others. If you liked it great, if you didn't great; recently it seems as though people here are using any pretext to make snotty remarks about/towards each other...Where's the love? Let's not erect constructs over which to fight...enough of those exist already.

I'm not defending this video, If you dont like it I dont care, some people thought it was funny, cool. That was the reason I posted it, I knew not everyone would enjoy it. I am not trying to tell everyone here what is funny and whats not. The only thing I am defending against is bullshit remarks about how this video "gives a bad name to tripping". Come on, its a video. You can say that you dont think its funny, I dont care. It just annoys me when someone acts like my post "degraded" the way people feel about tripping.

There is no need to defend this...Imo, it's not even possible to defend this. If you are someone who finds this video to offend your sensibilities/beliefs/values about tripping, then that's all that there is to it; it's offensive, the end. You can't defend this position because it's a personal preference. This video didn't offend you, we get it, you think it's funny, we get it. Others found it offensive, we get it, they don't think it's funny, we get it.

There is no reconciling these positions any more than reconciling the beliefs/values of the Black Panther party and the Ku Klux Klan; they are inherently different. The ideology presented in the video presents a certain outlook/commentary on tripping; some agree with it/find it funny, some disagree with it/find it offensive. No need to explain to anyone why your views are right; they're your views and that is enough. Things you view as BS may be meaningful to others and vice versa...no need to defend the video, it stands as it is, nothing you say can/will change that. Do you see what I'm getting at?

Yes I understand where you are coming from. Its like arguing religion. I guess I just felt as if I was being scolded for trying to entertain some people by showing that video (i was flagged?) so I kinda went on the defensive side. Not trying to start any arguments.

Peace and love.
