Right, I forgot to mention the first half is pretty much a lame porno. Then people just randomly die in the last half.
In general, people like horror films because it's so detached from their normal lives. Call it human perversion, or call it simply seeking the extremes in a way that's safe and socially acceptable. The problem is some people gain influence from these, whereas the original intention is to just get a thrill to spark the mind out of its boring routine called the norm.
Hostel made me laugh, actually. I'll spoil a scene for you right now, I really don't care. So this psycho doctor decides he's gonna chainsaw this guy to death, albeit he's several feet away with the machine. So he starts running toward the guy with the chainsaw actively buzzing in his hands, but fails to notice the pool of blood and guts piled quite noticeably in front of him. Consequently, said evil doctor runs into the blatant pool of blood and guts before tripping and dropping the chainsaw, causing it to slice right through his thigh and thus amputating his leg completely. Now this evil doctor fails on several levels. First, what kind of idiot doesn't notice the pool of guts that he himself created? Make no mistake, if you're going to have a torture frenzy that pretty much involves the slow deterioration of someone else's corpse, you should be able to realize that just *maybe* there's going to be a crap load of biological debris just trailing your floors that just *might* not be all that good for bipedal traction. Second, who runs with a chainsaw when there's obviously too much liquid matter cascading the floors, not to mention the damn room is only partially lighted and makes visibility of any kind hard on the eyes. Lastly, it's ridiculous how quickly that saw sliced through his leg. Chainsaws are pretty adept, but this thing cut through the doctor's leg like butter; it was utterly ridiculous. Hostel fails miserably and gets two ***-wiping fingers down.
This post wins.
Or read A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. <.<;
Hey hey, ningen sucker Ah ningen ningen ****er Hey hey, ningen sucker Ah ningen ningen ****er
Considering how well you did, I really have to laugh at you for messing up the beginning.
It looks half-rat, half-kitty.
I am teh Paparazzi. I be sneaking in J.K. Rowling's flat when she was on the toilet and took snapshots of her work.
True, we wouldn't have music, or art, or ideas to create. But that's part of creating a stable world. We wouldn't know about music, art, creative ideas, etc because we'd be thinking outside our programmed 'fate/destiny'. As for what you can accomplish without interest, you can basically live your life. Safely, stress-free, problem-free. Why? Because there's nothing to fight about, nothing to cry about, nothing to be happy about. We can only be joyous when we know what it's like to have misfortune, but if we're never given that chance, we will never know. Consequently, we'll live 'contently' for our entire lives. In actuality, I think you're forgetting something. If humans never had inspiration, we'd never have music, etc. Anything that is a product of 'inspiration' or 'emotional outlet' shouldn't be considered to be in existence when considering this hypothetical world. Imagine eating, sleeping, working. The End. No such thing as marriage, women get pregnant via the needle, sex is a recreational hobby, etc.
Wait... *recalls* Holy crap that was a long time ago, wasn't it?
Now there's a man ready for Warhawk.
I understand what you're all saying, and in all honesty, I'd agree. However, the clincher is that you wouldn't know what you're missing if you've never experienced it. This is obviously assuming that any remnants of 'emotion-feeling' individuals are eradicated beforehand. We all reject this type of life because we already know what it's like to love, hate, be angry, be sad, etc. But if let's say our world was never allowed to be this way, and we've never experienced such things, we wouldn't know what we could be. Ignorance is bliss.
OMG SNAPE DIEZ!
How tempting it is to say "I won" then close the thread. The winner is only a close-topic button away. ~D:
... That really is the ugliest cat I've ever seen.
If emotions never existed, it would be easier to complete a variety of tasks. In fact, life would be easier and virtually stress-free if we never had free will and were embryotically altered to serve out no other purpose than the one we were given once we're born. Yeah, I took that pretty much from Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World. Overall, you're probably right.
That is the ugliest cat I've ever seen.
It's a Prairie Dog. lol.
