A Clockwork Orange is a book and movie with many different levels. The most obvious level is the theme of violence and 'ultra-violence'. A bunch of droogs get-off and take joy in terrorizing others. On that level it is an extreme example to those that do not feel self-empowered. This makes it a cult classic. On other levels it is also about learning self-constraint and how we alienate others by selfishly fulfilling our own needs before those of others, and on yet another level, it shows how being short sighted and trying to race to the end of a learning process can actually completely defeat the process. The story clearly shows that 'law' tries to subvert its criminals via brainwashing, but if someone doesn't learn to change for themselves, then you are only just holding them prisoner.
It is a book/movie I highly recommend for the analytical types. There are many levels to it and although there are some scenes that may disturb the faint-of-heart, it is worth it for the rest of the movie.

The movie A Clockwork Orange gives deep insight into those of us that feel alienated and yet self-empowered. It reinforces the feeling that I may do as I please, without regard to the repercussions. Thankfully I don't actually want to rape people.

the male version of the word cunt. A cock knocker is a male who needs to be called the worst word you can come up with. He is the kind of man that if he were a woman you would call a cunt. He is the kind of person that will relentlessly take the wind out of you, deliberately sabotage you, and sometimes even seems to enjoy being hated.
My professor is such a cock knocker! He said that all the girls in the class may as well drop because they won't pass anyway! GRRRR... I loath that mo-fo!
