thoughtcrime

Orwellion concept.

A crime that you are guilty of because you are THINKING of doing something bad. (i.e. In 1984's Oceania, spending time alone is almost a crime because it's considered odd, and odd people are a threat to a stable environment such as theirs.)

also, see patriot act. (i.e. when you check anarchist cookbook out from the library or something, the gov might have the right to go into your home and tap your phone and computer. And it's all perfectly legal since you might be a terrorist.)

like I said, patriot act.

Gitmo

short for Guantanamo Bay

scary place where suspected "enemy combatants" are taken and then interrogated in order to determine whether they are terrorists or not.

this area is lawless; any fucking thing can happen. do the geneva conventions apply here? who knows?

a large percentage of detainees held are released much much later and labelled to be completely innocent. seems like they take just anybody.

for some reason, the clothes nick berg was wearing when he was decapitated are the uniforms from gitmo.

Mission Accomplished

Something you say after you fuck up. This way, people will think you have actually succeeded when in fact you have failed so miserably your former supporters have crossed over.

Mission Accomplished in Iraq, eh?

US CONSTITUTION

a document that is ignored by the United States whenever it deems appropriate, kind of like the Geneva Conventions

There is absolutely no consistency for when to follow the constitution, and when to ignore it.

break edge

when you are straight edge or sxe and you finally start doing drugs/skanking again.

I broke edge once: New Years. But usually, I am more sxe than your single aunt will ever be

zine

the word was coined around the 70s (way before I was born) during the days when people discarded all syllables but the last. (pizza = 'za, matches = 'ches... seems like only 'zine survived.)

So it's basically a crudely made magazine.

Mostly punk/poetic/indie/misunderstood/lost/artsy/goth/loner/whatever teenagers do it now.

They write/draw whatever they want on pieces of paper, photocopy, staple, and sell them for anywhere from a few dimes to a few bucks. Many are also free.

If you buy a zine for over $2, you got ripped.

In my opinion, if you charge more than a dollar, you suck. You've more than broken even, you blood sucking capitalist.
