That the green paste next to sushi is very spicy.

 

 

 

It looks incospicous, who would've known? I was 8 at the time. Thought it would be sweet! :?

 

I thought the ginger was salmon, damn was I wrong :lol:

 

 

 

I think its called wasabei.

 

I would know, I'm asian and usually what accompanies sushi is wasabi and pickled ginger. There's a difference and I was talking about the pickled ginger because it looks similar to the colour and texture of salmon fillet.

 

 

 

Here's a picture:

If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".

The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".

Amen, brother :lol:

Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)

amen Bruder! (german ftw)

I'm invulnerable to everything, except Lenin and Dragoonson.

That's impossible.

 

I love people.[/hide]

Never believe anything the government tells you.

The 60's are that way

America went to sleep, collectively, during the 80s and 90s. We need to wake up again.

 

 

 

This is why I don't believe the government:

Fat people, like dwarfs, are natural sprinters, dangerous over short distances.

 

 

 

We'll actually, I wasn't the one who learned that lesson. The person that made the fat joke while in my kill range did.

 

That's from Lord of the Rings, Two Towers. Ya know, when Gimli, Aragorn and Legolas are chasing the uruk-hai and Merry and Pippin...Gimli's only a tad behind the other two. (But then he says "We dwarfs are natural sprinters, very dangerous over short distances" or something like that)

 

Anyway, you could probably expect me to take mine from Lord of the Rings. Obviously, it's nothing original, the concept/idea/belief has been around for ages. They're not really lessons, I guess, but rather concepts/ideas/beliefs.

 

[hide=Yay nerdiness]"But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer."

 

Two more, from the same conversation.

 

"Folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."

 

And...

 

"That there's some good in this world, [Mr. Frodo]...And it's worth fighting for."[/hide]

 

 

 

Oh, and I'm Asian too. :twss:

Question everything

 

 

 

I don't know if this is the most important lesson I ever learned, but it's definitely something I live by. "Think for yourself; question authority" is the way Timothy Leary puts it. To quote another very smart man...

 

 

 

Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself and others. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you. - Christopher Hitchens (from Letters to A Young Contrarian)

 

 

 

That he can sum up exactly how I feel about life in a few sentences is one of the many reasons I love Hitchens.

I sorta use that as my life. I just don't question some things, and don't question everything constantly. It'd be fun and all, but I like moderation.

 

 

 

Most important lesson I've learnt? ...Damn...

 

 

 

 

 

Probably wipe with the paper. That came after I learned what a handshake was.

catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream

strangers are often fine.

 

 

 

Reminds me of all that b.s. I learnt as a kid about 'don't trust strangers'.. Sure, your parents mean the best for you, but that could really alienate a person from society in general.

 

 

 

I mean... To everybody else except your circle of friends and immediate family, you're a stranger in the world to the 99.999999+% of people who don't know you. Better just accept them as humans instead of picturing them all as blood-hungry exploiters, shady molesters in trench coats and fedora hats.

 

 

 

Interestingly I've found that school of thought has the least support in southern Europe, and particularly France/Spain/Italy. The people there are very social and can even have long conversations in a café with a person they never met before.

 

 

 

Besides maybe California or some of the old-fashioned southern states, that kind of friendliness is really pretty extinct in the States, and in the world in general.

I thought that only applied when you were a kid and vulnerable to whatever you were told. If I was a parent, I wouldn't want my kid being the main attraction at a bar :? .

Yeah, I admit it'd make sense to teach that to my kid... But the sad thing is, some people take that mentality with them all the way up to 20-50 years old or even to the grave. Well, it's their loss. As with everything in life it's good to be cautious, within good taste though.. Not everyone's out there to get you.

Never rely on some else to make you happy, only you can do that; love isn't about finding someone else that can make you happy, it's about finding someone you can be happy with.

 

 

 

That has been my view on things since this past summer, and I've been happy since.

There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,

and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. That

regret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,

better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret.

It's experience.

shady molesters in trench coats and fedora hats.

 

Another lesson: If they went to such lengths to find an outfit this awesome, they deserve to molest me.

 

 

 

Especially if they're a woman.
