When a celebrity gets behind a cause it makes me not want to support the cause. It just makes the whole thing seem insincere. And let’s face it, celebrities aren’t exactly the most educated of society. -Shozone
I hate it when any person only champions a cause because someone they know died of whatever. Like parents who care about drunk driving only after their kid dies from it. Maybe if they cared before hand they could have prevented it. Always seems like attention whoring and exploiting the relationship they had with the dead.
How come all these movies coming out are in 3D? -BlackKenneth
I have no idea. It’s not like it’s new technology. It’s not like it only works in theaters. All I do know, is that stuff hurts my eyes after 10 minutes.
The Atheist’s Kryptonite;
If God exists and you believe in Him, you win everything.
If God does not exist and you believe in him, you lose nothing.
If God does not exist and you do not believe in him, you lose nothing.
If God exists and you do not believe in him, you lose everything. -pbpaul
Lose nothing besides the dignity, money, effort and time wasted on supporting a fairy tale, you mean. Plus, believing in God to hedge your bets isn’t really belief at all.
Do you ever go shopping by yourself? -blueyoshi
I have to go alone or my wife will make the trip 5 times longer. I get in and out as quick as I can, I hate stores and lines and malls and stuff, so I’m like a shopping ninja.
“Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.” – George Bernard Shaw. Your reaction, please? -OfficeMaxwell
I’m a globalist, so you are preaching to the choir here. Alot of people will never put themselves in the uncomfortable position of dealing with their choices of religion or patriotism if they were born in another land. No one likes to feel wrong.
Do you believe the rapture will happen? -Webw1retoobs
Not in the biblical sense. The world will end somehow, but there will be no “judgement” of who gets into some mystical theme park.
I saw “The Prestige” on HBO last week. I enjoyed it, but I don’t quite understand how Hugh Jackman’s cloning machine worked. Did the real person get transported to the field above the audience or did the clone? Or was it random? Because Jackman’s character said on his death bed that “You don’t know what it’s like. It took courage walking towards your death every night. Not knowing if you were to plunge to your watery grave or be the Prestige.” -LPOA88
When I saw the pile of top hats, I just assumed it was all a scam by Bowie Tesla. I was a little disappointed that they were using electronic cloning as an actual plot device. Seemed like a cop-out. Not just because of the ridiculous notion, but everything had been about illusions up until that point. They were using bad science to bastardize their own movie. And through all this, I still enjoyed the movie.
I’ve been in a relationship with this girl for 3 months now, and we never argue, and get along 100% perfectly. is this normal for todays day in age? is this like a sign we’ll last? -Milk_Dudley
A relationship really can’t know what its made of until you start living together, from my experience. Good things either go bad or get better. You pretty much know whats up at that point.
“Tradition is the enemy of progress”.I heard this statement in my Intercultural Communications class and it made a lot of sense to me. Look at Prop which recently passed in California for example. A lot of people argued that marriage should be kept “traditional”, which is a steaming load of bullshit, considering Miscegenation(mixing of races) was illegal for some time in the past. -JustaFreek
Well, they are antonyms. Tradition = Keeping things the same, Progress = Change (presumably for the better) No such thing as “traditional progress”.
Whoever came up with Taxed Enough Already (TEA) is a freaking genius! Double meaning! -rezless
Do you mean besides the fact that “Taxed Enough Already” implies they were fed up with the taxing that the last guy they voted into office inflicted upon them, or completely misunderstanding that the Boston Tea Party was a protest that actually wanted their citizens to be taxed by their elected officials? Add in that it’s a tee-ball set up for opponents to call them “teabaggers”. But, other than this, yeah it’s really smart.
I received information that led me to the realization that I don’t mean nearly as much to her as she does to me. I need to feel better, please help -Gargantuwon
The bullshit that you are feeling has a benefit. It’s called “experience”. And you might get enough to gain a level and improve your wisdom attribute. That’s how it works, seriously. So, congrats on learning some important information today. Next step is phasing it into your decision making. Good luck.
