Fairy Tales - The Life in Them (Philosophical)
I believe billions of universes coexist a nucleus' length apart from each other. Maddeningly short distance, but still unreachable - except by certain people. Every time there is a choice in the universe, one choice creates another universe, and the other creates, well, another. But this only takes place around sentience. I can't say for certain that it happens anywhere but around humans, though - I'm not one to say whether or not there's other sentient, self-seeing life out there. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, though. Do you mean idealistic hopes and dreams, perhaps? Because I agree that without the idea of being able to strive for bettering yourself, life would suck. But, like Lateralus says, there's plenty to enjoy in life where you are. I believe that these delusions help people learn that life moves so fast, you have to stop and take a look around once in a while - or else you might miss it.

Is God real post your thoughts!
Theory of God? ...Back then? Not exactly. People have been embodying spirituality since we decided "Hey, I'm not a monkey any more." Eh, it's not a crime to be ignorant of things most of the world doesn't know, and none of us really understand.

Left 4 Dead
That sucks balls. I might be able to rent this for Xbox Thursday. Hopefully I'll be able to get it. It'd suck to have to settle for some crap game to enjoy between now and when I leave for Dallas Christmas Eve. Unless the said crap game was EndWar.

How do we know they're constant? They appear to work on our little planet, to some extent our solar system, to some extent farther. Yet there are still mysteries no numbers can solve. What about where the universe ends? Where do numbers go then? I'm sorry, but I just don't believe numbers as the one constant. I don't even think there are any constants. Numbers may be parallel to sentience, but what do I know.

School and Dodgeball
That. Sounds. AWESOME. I think war-games should be allowed as replacements for sports. Like paintball, airsoft. That would be aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwesome. Because I know how many idiots there are at my school that would join and be terrible. Hell. To. The. Yes.

Going on a Diet, Need advice.
Well, we won't be able to drink OJ for a minimum of 9 years, I'm afraid. Burning more calories than you eat is insanely unhealthy anyways.

Independence Movements and your opinions
Hardliners on both sides (Muslim & Jewish) think that the land is theirs by right of God, and by that they believe it should be only their land and not for anyone else. That religious fervour is probably the biggest problem in this, it makes it more than a case of nationalism when you involve god(s). No offense but minds greater than yours (& mine) have been trying to find a workable solution to this problem for decades with no luck, I honestly don't see a peaceful solution in my lifetime. I dunno, I think something as simple and sweeping as that could work. I believe many Islamic and Jewish leaders would actually agree on many things - if it were presented rapidly enough that they couldn't use mutual hatred to change their opinions. A Jerusalem protected and united by the things tearing it apart would certainly be beneficial to stability in the entire middle east. Although it wouldn't be difficult to break it down.

So because you believe it, and because there are more numbers involved, that makes it more reasonable? Interesting. Why can't God just be energy? Or space? Or dark matter? Or wind?

Bush nearly assassinated...with a shoe
Yep, but there ain't much else. Sorry I don't follow what you mean, are you saying the "would you rather Saddam" stuff is the only thing the very pro-war people can use in a debate now? I just don't want to miss the point of your post and argue against a point that you never made in the first place. Yeah, not really trying to make much of a point. The make up and go along followed extreme confusion. Terrible information, an unexpectedly fast fall of Saddam's regime, and other variables combined to leave the coalition just wondering "wtf just happened." Can't say it's been handled the best, but I guess it could have been much worse.

Guess the Game
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. I thought he used a little axe thing in the second one. Whatever. Is yours a Dynasty Warriors game?

Bush nearly assassinated...with a shoe
Yep, but there ain't much else. He was still smiling and ready to keep talking, too.

Independence Movements and your opinions
Oh, by the way, I know what should be done with Jerusalem. No more national militaries. A Swiss Guard that defends all three major faiths, instead, ruled over by a large cabinet of Jews, Muslims, and Christians. I think it would really be easy to implement and widely accepted. The Swiss Guard is one of the best military forces on the planet.

Bush nearly assassinated...with a shoe
Eh, you can pitter-patter around it all you want. It's better now than it was then. Saying Iraqis were better off under the rule of Saddam is like saying Europe was doing better under Hitler. Genocide can't exactly be met with niceties. Full metal jackets can help more, followed by niceties. The Iraqi situation could have been handled better, but in retrospect everything appears to be handled badly.

Is God real post your thoughts!
Yeah, I don't think God is omnipotent. I think the universe is, I guess. Since it made that whole idea and stuff. But I think God is the universe, and blabbity blabbity. I think atoms are stupid. I'm tired of how complicated it gets. I also think that elements are not really the purest form of substance. Neener-neener.

Worst thing you got caught doing at school!
Seriously, the mice seemed to like the original tests scientists did with acid on them in the 50s. People > animals. Of course there are situations where I'd change my mind, though if it was life or death, I'd be hard-pressed to take a strange animal over a strange person.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I got this one, guys. ...What. Ouchy...I dunno. Your situation is strange to me. Crazy New Zealandians, with your amazingly awesome accents and popular folk bands that grow amazing facial hair. Edit. Business hours are over! Baby! ITS BUSINESS, ITS BUSINESS TIIIIIIIIME You know, Har. If you want me to, I could hang 'round with you. - If I only knew - that's what you're into.

...Honestly. Who. Throws. A shoe. Betcha an agent woulda dropped him then. That would just be stupid.

School and Dodgeball
:shock: We have two. ...Five here. Seriously though. Whaaaaat. We've had kids killed playing football at my school in the past. I dunno if PE still plays dodgeball, but I bet they did. We even play it on lazy days in track. What.

Going on a Diet, Need advice.
Do not stay in the same routine, unless you absolutely love the food. Period. However, I do know of a diet that I've used to some extent to lose about 20 pounds (that I put back on in muscle, of course) and that my uncle lost over 60 pounds on. By the way, he's a roofer, so he gets tons of exercise. Breakfast: 2% milk, some sort of wheat bread item. Butter or sour cream can be used if it isn't whole. Lunch: A small bowl of fruit and some juice or tea. Dinner: You can have whatever you like. Although preferably something light, of course. DO RUNNING AND LIFTING AT LEAST 5 TIMES A WEEK. Run at least a mile each time you run, then the next day do lifting. But use high reps and light weights. It's better. Also, there's some program called P90X. A lot of people I know have used it, including a family friend that's lost over a hundred pounds in 3 months. It's damn hard, but it has insane results. Also, if you aren't overweight right now, you can use medium reps with medium weights.

Independence Movements and your opinions
Let my people go. Really, I don't care all that much. It's very removed from me. I do, however, think that if they're trying militantly, while I guess it's honorable that they're trying to defend their families and such, most of the small militant groups use terror against civilian targets. No-no. However, many of the places you listed aren't exactly punching everyone in the face. I dunno. I just don't know enough about those regions.

What do you want for christmas/hanukkah?
It survived. You just left it behind. Hear the cries in the wind? It's your fault. You killed it. I still make outrageous lists. Because my parents yell at me for me only putting two or three things on one, then just saying "MONEY". So I come up with everything I can. If I come back from Dallas with a stuffed goat on wheels, though, I will feel magical.

The bible
Oh come the [bleep] on Saruman. Creationism =/= Christianity. Christianity =/= Religion (as a whole). Jesus, Muhammed, Buddha, David, Abraham and Oprah.

I think it's Ninja Gaiden 2 to be exact. Also, EVERYONE. LOOK AT THE IMAGE PROPERTIES. BARON IS NOT SNEAKY IN THE LEAST.

Zombea V2
Caladan put the Triumph in the garage and unloaded the packs with May's help. Neither really had anything to say, but it was an amicable enough silence. Stepping into the house, he headed towards the kitchen. He needed a scotch.
