2009-10-15T12:33:07.901-07:00

In regards to the comments made regarding video surveillance appearing everywhere in our society, I would have to disagree with you. While there are a variety of positives, ranging from catching criminals all the way to giving tickets for speeding or running red lights, the notion that an authority figure is present at all times is discouraging. What does this say about our freedoms when we cannot even walk down the street without being reminded that an omnipresent eye is constantly watching? There is a book you should read by a French philosopher named Michel Foucault called Discipline & Punish: The Birth of the Prison. Foucault refers in the book to the “panopticon,” which is based on an imaginary circular prison where all the cells can be seen by the black tinted watchtower located in the middle. The prisoners cannot see into the guard tower and have no idea when they are being watched, conditioning them to behave not because they are moral or ethical people, but because they are fearful that their activities are being monitored. Is this not the same as having those black tinted cameras on every street corner? Are we not actually getting to the root of crime in our society and instead training people to fear authority so that they’ll behave in a manner that is acceptable to those who hold power? Personally, I don’t think that solves the root causes behind crime but rather creates a paranoid society where innocent people are afraid to let their inhibitions go and be individuals. It also says something about the construction of humanity, in that people are not the product of their own free wills but rather the product of institutionalized power that trains them to behave in a certain way, or suffer the consequences.

On the subject of Roman Polanski…the guy deserves to go to prison for this one. His version of Macbeth is by far the best one ever produced (I cannot account for the versions produced during Shakespeare’s time, but at least in the 20th and 21st centuries) and Rosemary’s Baby was the second movie to scare the hell out of me (the first being Night of the Living Dead). It’s funny that directors such as David Lynch signed a petition to keep him out of jail for molesting a minor, as this demonstrates that they are putting personal friendship ahead of simple ethics. This is not ancient Rome, where you could marry a woman when she hit puberty and although the argument for Polanski would state that the morals our society is based on are Christian in nature and subject to criticism, personally it just seems like a sick thing to do. Developing teenagers do not have the experience necessary to make the decisions regarding sex that adults do. I am sure that if I could travel back in time and see what a sexual encounter between a wealthy Roman patrician and a thirteen year old girl was like, I am pretty sure it would look a bit like rape.

On the topic of where you should go, WWE or TNA, I would not really mind either. I have not watched TNA in about a year and I rarely watch WWE programming nowadays (no RVD, no DVR), but I personally would base the decision on both monetary compensation and schedule. WWE’s schedule is much more stringent than TNA’s, but the audience is larger and allows the chance to wrestle for more people, thus indicating a bigger payday. I have no real idea what professional wrestler make aside from the rumors and nonsense on the internet, but the question you should really ask yourself is Is it worth it to go back to wrestling at all? How much is enough, physically, emotionally, and monetarily? I am not a professional wrestler so I cannot answer that question in any constructive way.
Always love to see the blogs updated. Take care =)

Hi Rob!! I think you should listen to yout heart and make the right decision. For myself, I'd love to see you back in the WWE but it's your choice and you do whatever you want to do. All I can tell you is good luck and I miss you.You'll always have my support and my love.Bye.

Hey RVD, can i be honest with you here. Your caree...

2009-10-08T11:12:49.823-07:00

Hey RVD, can i be honest with you here. Your career has been amazing, through ecw to wwe. Now im 18, been a fan of wrestling since the age of 4. Ive seen so much and have loved it all.

But in recent times, the wrestling world has changed. The WWE has changed so much, its not the company it was a few short years ago. Its PG era is ruining the company, and its lack of ballsy matches is terrible.

On the other hand, you have TNA wrestling. An up and comer in the wrestling world, making its way and trying its best to compete. TNA needs 2 or 3 high class competitors to boost it and in my view, your the highest of high class. You in TNA would be immense. I mean TNA would also allow you to see some ECW originals a lot, as well as touring europe and travelling to Japan.

Through my early years, you were ecw and wwe for me personally. Your high flying and high spots made you a personal favourite amongst rosters. If anything Rob, when you make this decision, please for my sake, consider TNA, as in my view, they need you, please please sign for TNA

weight up both offers and try get them to keep you in main event :P

If wwe i would say go to ECW once again and team with dreamer and then bring back in sabu and restart with the origial ECW...like invading peoples matches hitting them with steel chairs...like Kozlov and Jackson

if you went TNA
i would say get used in the current thing they had between Rhyno and the DUDLEYS (Team 3d for the kids that dpnt know there past time in ECW/WWE) and maybe take a twist and side with the one you have had a big fued with and put on some great tag matches

2009-10-01T11:38:59.416-07:00

Pro-life persons, from what I understand, want to point at the tiny bundle of particles inside a womens uterus and say: "It has a soul!"

So now I'm gonna point at a chair and say: "Hey, that's an even bigger bundle of particles! How do we know that it DOESN'T have a soul?"

On the molecular level, from what I humbly understand, an inanimate object can have almost as much 'life' as any living creature. (Abiogensis is the technical term for this.) So what you've really done here is to open a debate that asks WHEN and HOW do things get souls and WHY should only certain things get souls?

There was a paper published as The Water Study by Dr. Emoto. (Not a fake name, the gentleman is Japanese.) Here's the gist of his experiment: get two glasses of water from the same source. Take a sample from each cup and look at the water crystals under a microscope. They should be similar to begin with. Now label each of the cups. One gets a label that says 'pretty' and one gets a label that says 'ugly'. Leave them out for at least a couple weeks or so - in a safe but visible place where they won't just evaporate or get knocked over or anything - and have anybody who wanders by read the labels aloud. At the end of the couple weeks, take another set of samples and go back to the microscope. The water crystals should have changed to reflect their labels.

This basic test was done all kinds of different ways, with slight variations, but with universal results. The 'pretty' water got better molecular structure. The 'ugly' water crystals got deformed.

Humans are made up of like 80-90% water, right?

So if plain tap water in a cup with a label on it can respond like this and have expressions... What does it prove about the soul? If humans have souls then do we not respond like this to labels? If we have souls and respond like this then does that mean water has some kind of a soul as well?

If water might have a soul then what on Earth doesn't?

Can get interesting to contemplate but the lines are blurred.

It's a bit like the subject of vegetarians which you also mentioned. There are some vegetarians who say that they don't eat animals because animals are living things. Guess what - plants are living things too. There are some vegetarians who say that they won't eat commercially grown animals because they're protesting cruelty to living things. Which is nice but means that they've never seen a wheat thresher or any of the other commercial farming hardware that could be considered as cruel to plants. And so it's really kinda personal, where the lines get drawn but the bottom line is that even vegetarians HAVE to be able to eat something in order to survive. That's just practical.

On some level, we can drag this technique back up to the abortion/abiogensis talk and say: 'So where's the line? If humans have souls and chairs maybe have souls then why aren't more people being nice to chairs? If it's not practical to be nice to the chair that you're sitting on then why is it practical to be nice to a tiny but growing bundle of particles inside a womens uterus that may or may not have been her choice to conceive and which may or may not have a soul in it yet?'

And then, if we really want to shake the bees nest, we can also drag the whole notion of organ transplants and cloning into the conversation and try to debate whether or not replicated DNA structure and transplanted cell memory can equal soul.

If a vegetarian gets a transplant from a donor who wasn’t vegetarian and then starts having carnivore cravings, is it the invasion of a new soul? If somebody who knows nada about wrestling gets a donor who was an ECW-fanatic and after the transplant they suddenly can’t resist the desire to swing steel chairs at random people – then does that mean they got a partial soul transplant as well?

Cetera.

Hrm. Maybe I should leave before I'm banned or something.

Travel safe, wherever the journeys take you.

Peace and Courage!

2009-10-01T11:32:12.420-07:00

Terve RVD-san & SVD-san,

Happy October!

Hope that you and your loved ones are staying happy, healthy and terrific in spite of all the seasonal sickness going around.

Uhm. Feel the need to apologize to anyone actually reading this since they've had to scroll through a couple of my ramblings by now. Believe it or not, I'm really a quiet person. This is one of my few outlets and even if everyone just ignores my comments - which they are welcome to do - it does my energy good to be able to post here. Thanks again for sharing the space with us.

Perhaps the brilliant SVD-san has already heard but in case she hasn't: there's been an actual good use found for the cancer gene!

After much international research a dedicated team has discovered that the cancer gene is one of only 4 genes known to date in the human DNA that can cause amnesia in adult skin cells. When adult skin cells get amnesia apparently they just revert back to being STEM cells. Which puts us another small step closer to the 'grow your own custom organ and limb replacements' version of medicine. Which sounds kind of creepy but comes with a ton of positive potential.

You've likely already been informed that while you’ve been out having strange-awesome adventures and bus olympics, Disney bought Marvel. On the one hand, Disney can do a great job of marketing and distribution when they want to. On the other hand, the end product of this could end up validating every arrogant miser who ever sneered that comics were 'just for kids'. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Wow. Ouch. Water isn't your element sometimes, is it? Glad you survived your annual destroy-the-bathroom bump. When does that become an olympic sport? Kidding. On the remote off-chance that a person might be able to dig up the courage and funds needed to attend Wrestle Reunion... Is there any way to specifically request NOT having any of the hotel rooms directly beneath the lovely Van Dams?

About Jaycee, the girl that was taken and tortured for 18 years... Yes. Her story is sad beyond the ability of words to truly do justice to. Yea, it is natural for most rational persons to want to kill the bastard who decided that he could enjoy doing this to her. But if any human on the planet has earned the right to kill the sick idiot then it's Jaycee, who was his constant victim.

I don't know if being allowed to pull the switch on the guy would give her any kind of closure or begin to heal her self-esteem. I just think the option should be offered to her anyway, in case. And then, if for whatever reason she says no, the option should be offered to her parents and then to her children. If all of them should also turn down the opportunity to pull the switch for whatever reason THEN it would be fair to leave it up to the federal justice employees to humanely and publicly fry his innards and check for remorse. My opinion, that’s all.

However if you want to do something for the lady, maybe trying mentally kicking the media. Please. The fact that the news approached her story up the way they did doesn't seem totally sensitive or dignified either. They're exploiting her too. "Oh how great that you were molested for more than half your life, let's do an interview!" Arg. Humanity.

Onward to the philosophy.

Was listening to the radio archive and noticed the abortion topic trying to surface again. And what the heck it's something that deserves calm, rational discussion because ignoring it just fosters misunderstandings. But we're gonna throw the gender hurdle out the window for now - because SVD-san and Ms. Starr-san had some excellent points that I acknowledge and stand with, the gender lines can't cross easily on some subjects - and try a different approach.

Hey Rob, since your going to be touring in Irland, will you be thinking about coming over to the U.K? I was a worker in England since I was 15 (trainer by Jake Roberts & competing on the FIGHT!NETWORK), and I'm now 22 & got burned out with all the bullshit in wrestling that I decided to retire & go into physiotherapy as my career. I still love wrestling but refuse to go to live shows now coz i don't feel i'm getting my money's worth, could you please give me a reason to go to a show again?I hear FWA (linked with TNA) are re-forming in England!It would be great if you could be part of it! Hey, i'll even give you a personal tour round London lol All the best, and hope to see you on our shores soon

Hi Rob,
I am cannabinoid (cannabis) researcher at a medical school in Philadelphia-the city where American hardcore wrestling was born! I am also a big fan.

I encourage you to check out my research blog on cannabinoids and cannabis:

P.S - This website continues to rock but what the heck happened to the ability to separate blog replies here? Remember at your old site where you could view responses to each specific blog separately? Now all the blog replies are grouped together. Not complaining, just pointing this out. Seems like this would be an inconvenience for you since doing the blog this way might make it a bit more difficult to gauge how many people have left comments recently.

2009-08-06T11:00:14.653-07:00

Did we notice that Michael Jackson died? Are you kidding?

Please, RVD-san, for a while the media would speak of absolutely nothing else. If a semi-local child hadn't gone missing recently, they'd prolly still be on about it full-time. And honestly, I'd almost prefer that. Hate it when kids go missing. Hate it more when they're found dead. Really really hate it when the parents end up being considered suspects and then the media suddenly has the audacity to be surprised, in spite of the parents existing criminal histories. Argh. Even with me avoiding the television and radio, it may be a while before the people around here find a more popular talking point. Same is true of the Jacksons, I guess - only in his case it may also take roughly half a century before the tabloids move on.

People are...well...people. And we make judgments, some of us more often than others but all of us do it. And so is it not uncommon for us to think and/or say things like: "Oh I love X and Y about so-and-so but if only he wasn't such a Z." It's happened to you, RVD-san! Here in the blog replies, I've seen it myself. People love what you do when you wrestle but maybe some of them aren't so fond of the pro-weed speeches. And perhaps also the opposite happens, once in awhile, it seems as if some fans prolly care more about your speeches than your wrestling career. Appears like it's human nature, to pick and choose. So you're right about it being weird but I don't know if it's also unusual. People only really love the best in other people, maybe? That's why so many can approve of Jacksons music without also being fans of his personal choices.

To separate the person from certain actions and only approve of some of those actions or to only approve of the person themselves and not their actions... Must be possible but I don't know if that makes it correct. Despite the absolute attention of the media on the subject of Mr. Jackson, I seriously doubt that more than a handful of people can truly claim to have known and understood him during his life. The rest of us... We have to bear in mind that any judgment we make is likely going to be based more heavily on opinion than fact. That's all.

It is kind of reassuring to imagine a nice paradise where the souls of the deceased can gather, heal, compare notes and laugh at the fundamental weirdness that we call life. But it would also make sense, in it's own way, that death must be a bit of a shock - a bit of a transition, a change of routine - and so the souls of the recently passed might need a special sort of recovery and debriefing area to gather in while they adapt to being physically dead. Er. Yea. We make up our own rules about what we believe.

Dunno if there is any real sort of god or if, should it actually exist at all, it cares about whether people forward those ridiculous chain emails. Honestly, I'm not totally clear on why some people care so much about forwarding the chain emails. How can we be expected to understand the divine if we barely understand our fellow mortals? *laughs*

Hope that Comic Con was awesome this year. Hope that the first movie does better than anyone expects. Will the second movie not be filmed until the first one is released? That would not be unreasonable. The first movie is still due to be released in Novemberish, right? Am looking forward to it.

Hrm. Maybe put up a list of the RVD action figures that you have already? Or maybe a list of the ones you're looking for would be shorter? Collector that you claim to be, you could do a reverse auction or something. Donate a certain amount to charity if someone sends you one of the figures that you don't already have. *shrugs* Eh. People might send them to you regardless.

Sounds like your adventures are going to be wide-ranging. May your continuing journey bring you joy! Travel safe!

Peace and Courage!
