While our thoughts prog ressed for the

T h i s paved the way for 33.3 IM Readio, the

we re provided with a free for mat to switch or

Excerpts:
“The partners in an arranged
marriage are not different
from people who are being
forced and sold into the
flesh market.”
RJ Phlox
arranged marriages A tradition terrorizing
topic by the motley crew of RJs. In all fairness this was not a rebellious
and one sided topic. All aspects of the issue were addressed in a sense
that arguments were presented supporting and opposing the prefixed
nature of arranged marriages. The discussion deviated to parenting
which is the driving force behind arranged marriages in most cases.
Generally speaking, I felt that our discussion did progress to a higher
level due to the fact that we questioned the core of prefixed unions
which is freedom, its definition and the need for it. We often demand
something without even knowing the reason why we need it or its
origins and this was addressed in the discussing arranged marriages. As
with most of our topics, our unraveling of one aspect of social normality
ignited an excavation into the nature of humanity in itself.
“A cage is designed to “Could child marriage have
capture and even if it been a better option where
has flora and twine on the child is exchanged
its bars, it is still a cage.” earlier, than later?”
RJ Melancholetta Dr. Crooks

fidelity The fidelity thread reminded me of the habit thread

in numerous ways. The habit thread delved deeper into what we
discussed in “fidelity.” The approach to this thread was unique in
a sense that we progressed beyond societal clichés and started to
question the purpose and origin of fidelity in human beings. The fact
that we questioned if fidelity is a social construct and examined the
true definition of it demonstrates mental evolution on our part.

Excerpts:
“What about women who,
after marriage, never allow
intercourse or are unwilling to
give birth and just remain as wife
with fidelity? How then is one
of the spouses seeing another
person considered infidel?”
RJ Fox
“As humans, we’re usually
programmed to believe that
in relationships, loyalty is
the most important thing.”

“There are many males who
are continually pregnant in
their mind and never get
relief or a proper gynecologist
to assist them in the delivery.”
Dr. Crooks
 gamy war This firecracker of a discussion is an
offshoot of the separation discussion in which we discuss
the social institution of marriage induced divorce and
separation and completely dissect it. Our excavation takes
a more profound turn now as we delve deeper into the
rules and legalities surrounding marriage.

ISBN: 978-981-08-5764-6
Excerpts:
“Why has society imposed upon us
this legally binding union, selling
to us the idea that the pinnacle of
true love is marriage? Whom does
this union really benefit? It would
be highly idealistic to say that
marriage is all about love when it
is highly possible to love without
entering marriage.”
RJ Melancholetta
“If both parties consent to
polygamy and are fine with
open relationships, I do not
think that they should use
the word “marriage” to
name their legal contract
at all. They ruin the whole
true meaning of it.”
RJ Rose
“You have no experience in
marriage as yet but you are
in a state of a preposterous
assumption about marriage.
What is your stand on
abuses happening in
monogamy now? Why is the
society not discontinuing it
like polygamy?”
RJ Fox

habit Human beings are a race of species that thrive and have
survived by carrying out certain rituals and practices over the years from
generation to generation. These rituals, practices and methodology
are based on the age old habit. This thread was based on an abstract
question on the origin of habits and their consequences on humanity as
a whole on both a macro and micro scale. A simple yet complex question
was asked: Do we have the habit of forming habits that last a life time. We
concluded from our discussions that the most difficult habit to break is
the habit of forming habits. The experience of discovering the opinions of
the various RJ’s on the origin and cause of habits was also rather thought
provoking. ISBN: 978-981-08-5761-5

separation This is personally the most intellectually
aggressive discussion I have ever engaged in. A debate is an excellent
medium through which both sides of an argument can be presented. It
was an epic war of the words between tradition and true liberation and
RJ Rose and I were the gladiators defending our perspectives on the
fundamentals of marriage. Though heated, this discussion provided great
insight into the personalities of both RJ Rose and I. All in all I feel that this
discussion of ours showcases the myriad of personalities that are on board
the in10city bound vessel. This discussion shows readers that we are not
a one note anarchist publication and that we are merely a mouthpiece for
self expression as long as it is open to debate and interpretation.

smoking What starts out as a thread highlighting and questioning

the oppression and judging of smokers by society and government policies
soon diverts into the hypocrisy of the government and its sincerity in the task
of bettering society. As with all other topics, we questioned and completely
capsized societal norms in this topic. Certain information contradicting
“in-faux-mation” we have been force fed all our lives came to light as well
which was highly enriching and forced us to reevaluate our thoughts and
perspectives, especially mine. The beauty of topics such as this one is that it
inspires us to rip open the veneers that those who govern us have swaddled
us in.

 std vs itr The mass appeal of religion can be likened to
that of a diseases or what we call a pious plague. The power that
religion wields over the masses is extremely massive in the sense
that millions of people worldwide live their lives based on religious
doctrines and practices. In this dogma destroying discussion, we
uncover the underlying workings of religion and compare it to that of
sexually transmitted diseases. We question if it is fair to draw parallels
between the two or if the STD is indeed a mere physical illustration of
the Intellectually Transmitted Religion.
ISBN: 978-981-08-5763-9

Excerpts:
“The reason for the
severity of this intellectually
transmitted religion is
the fact that it drains the
individuals of their intellect
and replaces it with its own.”
RJ Melancholetta
“Practicing something
requires one’s own
actions, and decision to
practice it, in essence,
the exercising their own
free will to practice and
freely take on a religion.”
RJ Phoenix
“Yes, we do have the liberty to discard
religious teachings if we choose to,
but, because it is so ingrained into our
systems from such a young age, we find
ourselves conflicted with our modern
views and what has been passed down
to us through generations”
RJ Symphony

troubled parenting The appearance and blooming of

a flower is influenced by the methods through which it is nourished. This is the
same for parenting as well. In this discussion we unraveled the vulnerabilities
of the RJs by scraping away at their present in order to uncover their past,
specifically their childhood. We established unanimously that there is a thread
that binds childhood to adulthood and that who we are now is influenced
greatly by who we were as children. The intimate details of our lives were
splattered upon a canvas in this discussion and exhibited for all to view and
dissect. Insightful self analysis was also conducted by the RJ’s regarding their
parents and the way they were raised. The revelations and analysis proved
to be rather therapeutic for all of us. As far as insightfulness goes, this was

perhaps the thread that addressed and brought attention to our core issues.
Excerpts:
“While physical abuse has “To many parents, kids are a “We all grew up feeling
