Ask a Jaeret
 
Hi. My name is Jaeret. I am not a Muslim, nor am I a Jew. I am not a republican, I am not a democrat, and I am not independent. I don't vote. I have never attended a rally, and the only charity I have ever given to is S.E.T.I. I pay my taxes, I am a pretty decent human being. I just don't have a label, which makes my life less interesting. Because I don't have a label, I can't get pandered to, I can't be provoked, I can't be persuaded to follow the crowd.
Fuck the crowd.

Every label you put on yourself is another label that can be used against you; used to judge you. I guess I am lucky that I have never been asked "what are you?" How do most people answer that? I couldn't. I couldn't use religion, political views, I could say that I am American, or white, but that isn't who I am. That is what I was born as, something I had no control over. I might as well say that I am a dark haired boy for as much as that matters.

I am not trying to be cynical or ironic when I say that I am unique. There isn't another person out there just like me. No one shares my exact same views or ideas of how things would be better. I'll be dammed if I put a label on myself. Think about that next time you are in church, or at the democratic nation convention, or at the country club, or doing Meth behind a grocery store. Once you shed the labels, only then can you truly have your own ideas or be totally free.

Xerxys 08-30-2009 05:47 PM

OK, why do you want your thread to be moved to nonsense?

What makes you think you are unique? Did you think lack of interesting quirk = unique-ness??

Jetée 08-30-2009 05:52 PM

I think you're following the crowd.

And this major confluence of "asking" threads seems more like arrogance and conceitedness for some to label themselves as an authority of whatever they'd like to ally themselves to; I'm not judging them or their motives, I'm just not in an asking mood at this moment, or seeking any knowledge at this point either... I know what I know, and any insight into another group of people is going to come to me through multiple revelations and experience amongst the arena at large, not from some throwaway ponderance of the minute.

I do very much like your preface, though.

I'm as unique as you are, I feel that no one thinks exactly the same way or has the same beliefs, which is why labels don't work. I was poking mild good natured fun at the "ask a ___" threads by providing an alternative view, a view that you don't need a label to be a normal person. That was all.

samcol 08-30-2009 06:06 PM

Do you have a backbone? I don't enjoy labels personally, but if you have beliefs about ANYTHING you will get labeled something eventually whether you like it or not.

If nothing gets you fired up what's the point of doing anything?

I think that was the reason why I didn't initially avoid your thread in the same manner I did the others; I was somewhat bewildered to have gone to bed and suddenly notice nearly a dozen "Ask Me" threads pop up when I tuned in today.

I've never been labeled anything at all, so I can't quite grasp samcol's reference to a "label police" present in society.

I've been called evil more times than I care to remember, but that doesn't mean I'll roast your kittens in my pit of despair. I filled that up long ago to make way for my tennis court of turmoil.

Of course I have a backbone, what kind of question is that? The adage "you got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything" is bullshit. I don't have to be republican to be concerned with the economy, or be a democrat to be concerned about the environment. I really don't have to have religious or spiritual beliefs to be a good person.

So, go ahead and label me if you want. Part of the problem man, part of the problem.

Vigilante 08-30-2009 07:23 PM

Hi Jaeret. In some ways I feel the same as you. I just didn't make a thread about it :)

Someone had to. You can use my thread if you want and randomly answer questions that were directed to me!

mrklixx 08-30-2009 09:02 PM

Do you like Subway sandwiches?

Vigilante 08-30-2009 09:06 PM

Thanks Crack :lol:

Subway as a brand or subway as a type? In both cases, yes.

Jetée 08-30-2009 09:18 PM

Primer is used after painting one's walls, right, or am I confusing the process of the namesake?

Vigilante 08-30-2009 09:26 PM

Primer is first. 2 coats if necessary, then you paint.

Jetée 08-30-2009 09:33 PM

Thanks. I overthought that one.

Crack 08-30-2009 09:52 PM

Vigilante, you are doing an awesome job! You want to pick up some extra work as me during the week? The pay is shit, and you get no respect, but at least you can have the piece of mind that you are, in fact, making a difference in the lives of... well... me.

Vigilante 08-31-2009 07:23 AM

Haha. I have a hard enough time being myself! I could speak as your representative, for a nominal fee. If you mom calls, I get the phone.

Jaeret's busy. No, seriously. He's in the other room banging a uhh...... Umm, ok, ok sorry, yes I will get him on the phone. No, I'm a friend. No ma'am, I am not sleeping with him. Where am I from? Texas. Yes I agree the accent is there. Hold on.

Hello, Jaeret's representative speaking. I'm sorry, Jaeret is not interested in your product at this time. oh, OH, you're his attorney? I see. No he didn't give me power of attorney. Wait. So you're telling me I can be sued becau...? Hogwash, I say. You're lying. *click*

See, now you could be having that much fun if you paid me that nominal fee :lol:

Do you consider the SETI program to be science? Yes, this is sort of a trick question.

The_Jazz 08-31-2009 12:08 PM

How often do you beat your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other?

Why do you believe so strongly in tattooing tiny clown faces on the head of your penis?

Would you care to join me in the Nonsense version of this thread?

It's hope, with scientific processes applied.

Never. I've been hit many times by my wife though. To my knowledge, Crack has never been hit.

I cannot divulge that information, as it might compromise our agents in the field.

No. Thanks for asking, though.

I'm almost sad. I think that Vigilante might be a better Jaeret than I am.

Ok, what sort of a name is Jaeret? Where your parents hippies? Or just couldnt' spell no good?

Jaeret is a derivative of Jarret, which in turn is partnered with Garret. Jaeret is a most likely a Gaelic form of the spelling. The name is old english/irish and means both "spear" and "brave".

It's confirmed, you are a better Jaeret than I am.

We have discovered that Vigilante makes a better Crack than Crack. I have given him free reign to answer any questions as me.

My ex-wife used to beat the ever-loving piss out of me. She thought they were cute little woman punches, but I had bruises!

Heh, not sure how that happened. I'm still up for offers on being your representative :lol:

My wife still beats me. I laugh off most of the abuse, but sometimes I cry on the inside.
