Not to offend you either Prebe,but as an atheist(as you proclaim to be) you're basically saying that your life and experiences are nothing,you live for nothing except yourself and when Death does strike you,it's over.I cannot accept that for myself.Maybe it works for you,It won't for me.I've had a ...

I'm really not sure about braces. I feel like they're a waste of money, and I usually feel like the people who get them don't have terrible teeth, though there are certainly times they're needed. I personally found it hard to eat for a day or two after I got them in. A few days after that it reduced...

Re: H.G.Wells
Wells is regarded as the father of sci-fi. Certainly, he is my favourite author besides Jane Austen. What do other watchers think of his work? War of the Worlds is a classic, but I think The First Men in the Moon stands as a champion of imaginative sci-fi in terms of a believable alien race. I have...

Re: 97 Reasons Democrats Are Weak On Defense And Can't Be Tr
During the Carter Democrat period, (24) communism was on a rampage worldwide. In an unrestrained country-capturing spree, communists took over...( 33) Nicaragua. I don't know much about the governments before Communists taking over, but Nicaragua was a plus compared to how the country was beforehan...

I would be the ultimate weilder of the power of procrastination. Imagine if you will a wedge of 100 score ur-Viles about to inflict total ruin upon a nearby Woodhelvin. I could focus my power upon the ur-Vile loremaster and they wouldn't do anything for weeks, or maybe years depending on my mood. T...

*shrug* Because it sells. Fast-food has never pretended (other than recently) to have anything at all to do with health-consciousness.

It's clear to me that no punishment is enough to deter maniacs and perverts from their obsessions. I really think we need to say that no punishment has a reasonable enough success rate to be relied on, because this implies (to me) that no one can ever control their obsessions. It's a thin layer of ...

I don't remember Bush getting the Pope's blessing. I remember Bush pissing off a ton of Catholics by speaking at Bob Jones University. Bush did that to win SC from McCain, or so I've been persuaded to believe. And he sure smoothed things over fast. The Pope sure gave Bush a dressing-down when Bush ...

If your looking for recommendations I say, as always: Neverness by David Zindell. It meets all your critieria--memorable and important passages. Uh, except it's not short. ;) Neuromancer was published in th 70's IIRC. No...I don't have any recommendations...Canticle is awesome. :D --A Right? In ter...

Meh, doesn't make a lick of sense to me. Although there's little logic behind the term, it's used to label conservatives. Ugh.

"The Grand Inquisitor" by Dostoevsky
I haven't read The Brothers Karamazov but I suppose I will someday. I got this shorter book for a class in school, and I was curious about the thoughts others have about it. Instead of actually putting forth my thoughts about the book, which would take too long (I have to mow my lawn, and get more w...

Science Fiction Independent Study, and suggestions for it
I'm currently working on the final stages of a Science-Fiction independent study with one of my high school english teachers. The precise topic is Science Fiction as Great Literature . In addition to a bunch of the 'classics' of SF which I've missed over (Fahr 451, which I'll compare to 1984 and BNW...

I couldn't believe how great the witing was with FE7, it didn't suffer at all in translation the way you get used to with Japanese games. I was looking for a nice TBS to fill the gap between Advance Wars 1 and 2, and found what is in my opinion one of the best game franchises ever. The first six ga...

Soldier was definitely easiest for me, when I played. I had a NT scientist, a soldier, and a zombie. The soldier had learned 2 skills by the time the scientist and zombie had 1, and he had several by the time the scientist had 2 (the zombie did well though). But after a while I got kinda bored and s...
