There are librarys of information of all sorts. Try erowid.com or totse.com or even everything2.com

Eh? Are those basicly the kind of sites you're asking for?


No.

"Has this been done before?" - Yes
"What are we doing different from before?" - Fuck knows.
"What is your goal?" - Again, fuck knows. So far what I, and I hate using that word for this project because this is not a one person thing, but the goal as of now: To inform people.
"What is your point?" - We'll figure that out later. =)
"Are you planning on changing the world? - Hardly. If this can get one person, one single person to listen and nod, I personally will be happy.

So far the support already has been great, so basically my jobs done, I got people to think. Now I want people to think and help. Make other people think. The movie Pay It Forward comes to mind.


Why not jump on what everyone else has been doing?
Hmm. Maybe because no one ever wants to do that? If I jump on the bandwagon, would that not be just doing what we are talking about not liking? I believe so.

The website is in creation. Is it a cheap website? For now. Sorry, I don't have the money to fund myself shitting let alone anything else. If anyone is willing to put forth money, start a real website, please contact me: J Self B.

I believe the movie was Pay It Forward, and I still don't understand what I'd be agreeing to by saying "I'm down."

You don't need to be, I guess. If you need to know that much, forget it.

And it was edited, thank you.

^So because he wants to know more, he should just forget it?

Er, surely a main trait of what you're meant to be going against?

I dunno, just seems reasonable for one to know more before getting into it. Unless you're looking for sheep...anyone Welsh?

I know i've said it before. But i think a short, rough manifesto is in order. Just a suggestion, like...

By the way, i do think it's a good idea of sorts. A bit 'pipe dream' like, but hey, as stated before, such things have come off in the past. Even if only to make a small wave or two which have displaced a few tuna fishes.

Well, OK then. But, I believe you are contradicting yourself a little bit then. You see, you are calling out to all the intelligent heads of RB, and are asking them to agree to something that is an unkown. Now, in my opinion, if you agree to something on such terms, you aren't very intelligent at all. If you disagree, I'd gladly like you to agree to sign a blank check and mail it to me. What am I going to use it for? If you have to know that much, forget it.

Heres the rough idea of it all.
The Project is designed to inform people. Of what, you ask? Of what they need to know. To open their eyes to various points of view, to sift through all the bullshit that is force fed to us daily and tell the damn truth. To show opinions, to debate, to encourage people to explore different realms of thought. To experiment with what is accepted and what isn't. To help people to see things as more than just black and white.

A bit better Brandon?

i think bruk means, that we are undecided as of yet, and it is up for discussion over there. "there", being the board that was created for it. which i think would be considered spamming if it was posted.

It's not. That is something completely different. A different magazine. It got intertwined with this, sorry. But it has nothing to do with The Project.

Such an amazing name.

For the most part... at least with my understanding... this isn't a bad idea and I am down with it.

However... instead of just making a boring website full of information probably no one will go out of their way to look at...

...let's make it into a rap album where we become the CNN of the Hip-Hop world. Y'know, unless someone like Public Enemy beats us to it.

(What I find amazing is I say I'd be down with this, yet I have so much to say against it. I find this peculiuar to say the least.)

so in essence, this is pertinent to political and social issues... i'm down with that.. but i was hoping for the fight club scenario... interesting to see how far this goes, and to see what heads would actual partake in it.

Taking over the world? Hardly.
Make an impact on the world? Again, nope.

Make one or two people think about this, then Pay It Forward - That's my goal.

J Self B. Contact me for the website.
I don't care how "new" you are to RB. If you are interested in this, that is all I care about.
