    To avoid answering questions I usually get I've created this small FAQ

    1) What is p.l.u.r.?

    p.l.u.r. means: Peace Love Unity Respect

    2)Are you a raver?

    No, I just like electronic music

    3) Why don't you put p.l.u.r. in your sig?

    Because my mind is not like yours, I like it this way. Bask off!

    4)Is that you in your avatar?

    No, that is not me! I don't know who that is

    5)How are you?

    Ok, if others want me to be ok


    I hope you enjoyed reading my FAQ

    PLUR is an acronym that stands for "Peace, Love, Unity, Respect", a credo of the rave culture. Many in the rave scene have heard this term at sometime or another, although its common usage is relatively recent. Early 1990s and mid-1980s ravers often followed similar principles, but did not use this coinage to describe their beliefs. It may be interpreted as the way that a raver believes he or she should live his or her life, and how people are expected to behave at a rave. PLUR can also seen as a more mainstream variant of its predecessor LPE (Love Peace Ecstasy), because it removes the drug reference. LPE was mainly used in Europe in the early 1990s, when the rave scene became a youth subculture.

    Origins

    According to legend, the term PLUR was coined by the DJ Frankie Bones in response to a fight that broke out while he was mixing and he stopped the show to say, "If you don't start showing some peace, love, and unity, I'll break your fucking faces." However it wasn't until later on in discussions of the speech on the usenet newsgroup alt.rave, Respect was then added to the Peace, Love and Unity from which the acronym P.L.U.R. was then created.

    Meaning

    * Peace - Hostility typically serves no purpose other than to defend an ego that is lacking inner peace.

    * Love - Acts and feelings of goodwill towards all others are a moral imperative with their own rewards.

    * Unity - This can mean either that:

    We are all united in the human condition.
    As social beings, the feeling of connectedness with others is the ultimate end to our efforts.

    * Respect - A person must show regard for the feelings of others through their actions and inaction.

    Many ravers will also add the words "Responsibility" (due to bad publicity and negative connotations of drug misuse that occurred in the rave scene), "Kindness" and/or "Honor" at the end.



    Now now fryman, show some p.l.u.r. for da OP!!!!

    p.l.u.r. :D:D:D:D
