u sed hott gerl is were? u seddd tey wre hear. :(
My friend, Taishi, doing an R2D2 sculpture. I had to take a picture of it. xD You know you love it. ;] I beat her to death with my eyes in a staring contest. True story. The guy on the left is me, also. This would be a picture of some photos my English teacher put on his wall. Here are more of said pictures. And yet again, more. Said English teacher teaching someone a move in chess. Good stuff.
... >: I know how you feel.
Junior skip day doesn't exist.>:
Just tell her you love her and that such a serious commitment thing isn't something to be thinking about right now. I mean, assuming she trusts you and loves you, this should be easy for her. It's about attitude.
lol. of course it's trademarked. I wonder why they were calling it "Dusk Gold" and "Dawn Silver" before. What horrible names. EDIT: Now that I think about it, Soul and Heart aren't much better. >_>;
I have that one too. I lied
that reminds me today i saw two chicks walking down the hall holding their hands, but they weren't that hot and now i remember why i never mentioned it before
It better have been hot.
And I've started to think recently that the only reason this selfish mode we have exists is due to the fact it was the fastest, easiest and first way to survive that occurred. Due to scarcity and competition obviously, but nonetheless it happened that way and we have so many ways to evolve/move (whatever term works) out of this way of living. Though as you said, these selfish actions have, in a way, "evolved" over time and have taken a pretty good root. I don't think it's because of genes, however. :P I think it's a result in environmental conditioning. The boy sees his daddy investing in the stock market and therefore has a higher propensity to be raised doing the same thing. It's just so dumb how we have created this artificial divide, "class" and "wealth." Now it's so unbelievably inflated that when it crashes, things will be even worse than the great depression. Yep you're thinking of the right Murakami. If you aren't sure of the book you read, it was likely one of these: A Wild Sheep Chase, Norweigan Wood, A Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. lol
I've found it really depends on the person. I have a few friends who are guys that I am almost brotherly-close to them. I don't find the insecurity that bad at all. I can hug them (man-hug), put an arm around them if the time is right, etc.. Not in any gay way either. Though I do have friends who are in general very awkward and I don't like to be too close with them. So yeah, the person, I've found, and their customs changes the mentality of the friendship. Sometimes closeness like hugs can be okay, other times it's absurd and I would never want to do it. lawl
Well in a sense yeah, I agree it is a natural inclination to be selfish, since we need to survive over anything. Though not so much gene's. I doubt there's a "survival" gene (or any behavior gene), it's just a response to environment. The scarcity makes it a lot worse and I've come to see that quite clearly in the past year. I like to believe it isn't always that bad, though. Just the conditions we live in amplify that craving even further. A poor person living in the streets obviously might be selfish and steal in order to survive. But contrary, a rich person might be selfish because they were born into a family where wealth is a status symbol. Always because of how they live they can be selfish, because that 'me me me' mentality has stripped them of what's real, thanks to how they are introduced into the competition based society. I don't know if we've been broken free, we still live in a very pervasive societal system where things like vigilantism (while it can be good, in this case not so much) exists on a primitive basis instead of on a solution-based paradigm. Also, I've been wanting to read the Mars series for a very long time. =D A Spanish teacher at my school and myself met because she saw me reading Murakami, so she suggested that series. She also suggested the Millenium Triology (heard of it?). Btw I would suggest reading Engines of Creation. A fantastic look into technology and its profound effects on society. It's made me start saying this thing called "technological unemployment" which I think is very fascinating. It speaks for itself. lul Wow I'm really off-topic now. o_o
That is very true. I agree with you on this 100%. It really isn't that Vegetarianism is wrong, so much as knowing the right way to do it if you really want to. Thing is, I'm not educated enough to live that way, plus I love meat, and have no reason to stop. Veggies get abused almost as badly as meats anyways.
Certainly not within a few generations. My only point was that we have been around for what, more than 4000 years and we still can't take care of each other? We make an effort but at the end of the day it ends up being that more disaster prevails rather than help. Though, you are right, it is very unlikely to do such a thing. I mean, there are grass-roots movements out there, at least, which hope to spread a message of what they feel is a real change. It would take very long to really make any real, holistic change, sadly. I agree. Society is very resistant to change. But what else are we to expect of the establishment? is the way I see it. lulz Yeah, now that I think about it, it's very redundant how they let that happen. I think even if they did attempt to restrict it that way, though, someone would just find a way to alter it so the restrictions wouldn't matter. That's another problem to deal with. I guess it's the mindset that counts when it comes to things like automotive control.
While it is a solid solution, what happens to the large percentage of people who are speeders? The car industry would plummet, less cars made, and disabled loans would skyrocket. Again it's a solid solution, but there is an easier way through technology. We aren't that primitive imo. That's a huge fallacy. The law is a fictional entity devised by people to control each other. Breaking an imaginary law does not make you unequal. Sure it makes you accountable but it is only temporary, and they like being in prison, and if they are "truly" fixed like you said with putting them in a wheelchair, it becomes dehumanization. If you really want to change it and fix it, adjust the society as a whole and begin a more eclectic approach to helping the "criminals" (i.e. finding out what's wrong and working on an environmental fix), and solving the problem through analysis. The need for punishment is incredibly outmoded and in the end costs way more money than necessary (prisons, for example). The main reason I think criminals act the way they do is, as I've stated before, they aren't really given an opportunity to persevere. If you change that I guarantee you'd see a lot of nonsense shape up in the streets.
^ old and no one cares go jump in a sewer >:
