A. Not unless it has a really nice, crumbly, sugary crust. Not to eat, anyway.
Q. This intensely yummy chick is gonna be walking up my driveway any minute. She turns my knees into tapioca pudding. WHAT DO I DO??!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!
C: "Q. This intensely yummy chick is gonna be walking up my driveway any minute. She turns my knees into tapioca pudding. WHAT DO I DO??!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!"
Meet her half way, wrap your huge arm around her waist, draw her in and say "why helloo." I'm sure she'll giggle.
A) NO. Money is not the only thing. People should not waste their time in a unhappy or unsafe relationship.I truly belive there is one perfect person for everyone.
Q. Have people always been as lame as people seem to be now (I'm talking about the population of Earth as a whole), or is it something new that cropped up recently?
A: people are people and always have been. but, for whatever reason, now that people have easy ways of communicating with one another across the globe (specifically the internet), the only thing heavily and well-promoted is negativity (regardless of subject matter).
A) I think it takes a whole lot longer to heal the longer you've gotten accustomed to a situation. It's much harder to break up with someone you've been with for five years than it is when you've dated someone for five weeks. I've heard that you're supposed to wait half the time the relationship lasted before it's OK to start dating again, although I can't remember where....so I guess that's the expected time to heal? I'm not sure. I don't think the heart ever forgets....you just get used to being without.
Q. J. Edgar Hoover walks up to you and says, "Hey, kid, you dropped a quarter." No, not really. He says, "Awright, kid, we're making it a law, but we can't decide which way we wanna go ... either everybody has to stay monogamous or we shoot them, or everybody has to quit bitching and leaving people alone no matter who they want to sleep with. Which do you want it to be?"
A) (a)I honestly think it's against human nature to be monogamous, although I certainly don't justify cheating of any kind. But if you look at the human race with the absence of God, then none of us have souls, which put us only a little higher up than animals, and animals aren't monogamous. Something like that. Monogamy is something mankind cooked up. (b) That said, after playing devil's advocate, I DO believe in monogamy, and I'm sorry Kassandra if something has happened recently concerning it. I know that feeling all too well. Not really sure what to say, though. I think some guys don't care...to have many women makes 'em seem more manly, or something. Karma is a good bitch though. :)
Q) If you meet the love of your life and they die, do you expect to meet another love just as powerful?
A. I'm still not convinced that you can't meet the love of your life one day, and then meet another love of your life the next day. Or later that night. But yes, the heart is infinite, you can love a person as much as you want without diminishing the love you feel for another. It's like sailboats -- as long as one boat doesn't try to block the wind from the other, wind is a force of nature that everyone can share. So is love.
Q. Why is pedophilia wrong? Just to make sure nobody understands, I actually know the answer to this one -- I just like to check every now and then and see if everyone else has an answer. I believe that it is wrong, I just wonder if everybody knows why.
A)Because it can be emotionally and physically abusive, and a child isn't mature enough to make a decision like that for themselves, anyway, especially when pregnancy is involved, where financial responsibilities also come into play.
Q)Should heavy elbow-wear and large pads be banned from baseball, due to the tremendous advantage it gives to batters?
A: I had no idea they even wore pading. It seams silly to me I mean its baseball. How can you get seriously hurt from baseball..
Anyway if its giveing the batter an advantage then no they shouldnt ware it. It wouldnt be fair to others plus wouldnt that be consitered cheating in a way.
Q: Okay, the world is about to end and you are the only one who knew about it. You only have two hours to spend alive, what would you do in those two hours?
A) So I'm living with a roommate in my apartment. He's this buddy of mine that I've known since I was fourteen (I'm twenty-eight now), and when my old roommate (another guy I've known about as long) moved out, this guy moved in 'cause I can't make rent on my own and he needed a place to stay.
So one night, he gets drunk. Ripped, really. And he's a pretty spastic guy to begin with, the sort of guy that was always a little too into Highlander and likes to walk around with a sword under his trenchcoat. And he's having girl troubles. Total recipe for disaster, here.
This guy likes to drive. He is, in fact, a driving idiot savante. I don't think he's ever read an entire book. Comicbooks tax his attention span -- he'll sometimes leaf through them and look at the pictures but then he looks up and asks someone else to tell him what happened in the story. But when it comes to driving a car, he's got this freaky supernatural power. He's like Mad Max. If he weren't such a twitchy little nut, he'd make a great professional racer.
So before he goes on this little drinking binge, he hands me his keys and says, "Don't give this back to me, no matter what." Cool. I don't drink, generally, so I'm often the designated key-holder (made only slightly inefficient by the fact that I don't drive and hence can't be the designated driver as well).
Naturally, in a few hours, he comes to me roaring drunk and sobbing and ranting about his ex-wife and wants his keys back. Nuh-uh. He actually hops up and down at one point, but I still won't give 'em to him. He even threatens me, but he's about 5'8" and weighs maybe 140 lbs., tops, and I can dribble him like a basketball. Doesn't get him anywhere.
So he goes to his ex-wife, the woman who's driving him nuts in the first place, and gets a spare set of keys. Why she has a spare set of keys for his car, I can't imagine. Nothing this guy does really makes a lot of sense.
He hops in his car, starts it up, revs the engine ... and promptly discovers that big ol' me is now standing behind his car. I explain to him as patiently as possible that if he wants to go off himself in a fit of drunken stupidity, that's his business and there isn't much I can do to stop him, in the long run. But he isn't gonna drive around like an inebriated maniac on my island and squash some poor kid walking around the road at night, or wrap his car around someone else's car. I'm playing the 800-pound gorilla card.
More engine revving. He insists that he's gonna back up over me if he has to, that I have no right to stop him. Arguing doesn't work, so I just stay right there. He jumps out, tries to whack me around a little, but it would take five of this guy to actually move me. Goes back to the driver's seat. Revs some more. Screams that he's gonna run me over.
Of course, I'm sitting there thinking that he might actually be drunk enough to do it ... but what the hell else can I do? Sure, if he goes screaming off into the night at Mach 10 while intoxicated, nothing will probably happen, but we're living in the only halfway-urban section of the island, and I keep seeing us as teenagers, walking alongside the road in the dark, trying to get to someone's house to play a midnight game of Dungeons and Dragons or something stupid like that. I picture us geting scraped along a stretch of road because some drunk asshole is having problems with his ex-wife and doesn't know when not to drive. How the hell can you move out of the way when you have such images going through your head?
So I stand there, being the dumbass speedbump from hell.
After a while, he either gives up or runs out of gas. The engine shuts off, he storms inside, and I wipe some sweat off my forehead. I had no idea whether or not it was gonna work. :)
That, as embarassing as it is, is my finest moment, I think. Me versus the Mustang. You wanna squash little kids on my island, you're gonna have to squash me first.
A: LD thats a great story. The macho stuff is realy turning me on...so STOP IT..not that thats a bad thing but still.
Majic to me is not rabbits poping out of hats, no. I think realy majic is like the spark you get from one your falling in love with. Or the feeling of mist and wonder that you can also see in ones eyes. That sort of thing. Spirtial freedom and will, love. The good stuff I guess.
Q: Would life be better with love and peace only or do you think violance is a nessasary to live?
A. Violence is sort of fun, in the same way that cruel jokes and bodily fluids are fun. But no, I don't think it's necessary. I think that violence is a natural part of the human condition, but that it needs to be better understood and channeled, and not given reign over the rest of one's consciousness.
I'm almost a pacifist, but not quite. I think that people view violence as a solution to problems when it's rarely a solution to anything, especially in the long-term view, and I think that women are way too quick to confuse violence with strength when they're looking for a mate. At the same time, though, I think that there's nothing wrong with a couple of guys getting together and beating the hell out of each other just for fun, or for exercise. It's the animal, it's in us, and in order to truly achieve balance you have to encompass the animal just as much as the angel.
When I was about twenty, living near Portland, I used to go into the city on a regular basis for exercise. A buddy of mine and I would go hang out near this building where a flock of skinheads liked to meet, and I would throw paper airplanes at them (it wasn't until one of them finally read what was written on the paper and discovered -- gasp! -- Gloria Steinhem -- that we finally started getting into fights). It was really nothing but exercise, and maybe a way of demonstrating precisely what I thought of their neo-nazi "master race" philosophy (you can't feel much like a member of a master race when you're flat on your back). Didn't seem like anything wrong with it, really, 'cause it was just a bunch of us young punks doing what came natural.
What bugs me is when people bring others into their little brawls, and then act as though they had to right to ruin and end lives. When we drop bombs on little girls, I think that's wrong. When assholes fly planes into skyscrapers, that's wrong. If Osama bin Laden and the Shrub and Cheney and Hussein wanted to get together in a battle royal and wipe each other out, I'd have no big problem with it -- it's when they involve the other six billion people on the planet in their little profit-making ventures that I find myself full of the urge to never shut up.
Also, I think men shouldn't hit or otherwise harm women. Part of being a real man is being good to women (it's probably the most important part). This is sexist, and I take a lot of flak for this from some of my friends, but it's the way I feel. To me, it's a no-brainer.
I'm just full of long answers today. :)
Q. Why do so many women have this irritating submissive streak? I ask because it came up a couple of times today. Where did women get the idea that being a victim was cool?
A: I think its just a womens way of dealing with things, I guess. Ive noticed alot of wimmen do let alot of stuff walk all over them especially a loved one usally male. Like my mom for example shes been threw heck and back and she still doesnt want to make it better for her self.
I dunno if its how the girls are being raised or what like maybe they were taught at a very young age that males are the saperiour ones and the women should not fight back or what the deal is. Ive also noticed it is in certain age ranges the most.
Or perhaps its just in our natures and just more so in other and not so much in others. If you look female animals are known to be more submissive then the males. So yeah perhaps thats the reason. Better yet thats probolly is the answer.
I on the other hand am not so submissive. A fighter to the very end. But I trained myself to be that way and learned that its okay to fight back and to win. But of course I'm a bit amazon-ish anyway, So yeah I think its mostly in our natures.
Okay got off track just a bit but thats okay :)
Q: With all the new technowlogy and new biznesses poping up and whatnot do you think that one day in the future perhaps the world will become over run with pavement?
A)Doubtful, with the amount of repairs the pavement we already have requires, I can't see how we could cover everything.......if that's the answer you were looking for.....
Q)Can the Red Sox actually win the World Series this year?
(A) I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "yes".
(Q) Say you meet someone online and talk for weeks. A potential lover. They want to meet you the next day and just kidding you say "can't, out of gas" even though you gotta work and stuff, too. They send you a Western Union without asking. What do you?
A.) I'd say it all depends on the movie you're going to see. A lot of movies that are being put out just aren't worth the $8.50 (or the $5.00 matinee) to get through the doors. However, you don't always know when a movie's gonna be that good or not. It's always a gamble, but when you find a movie that actually is worth the ticket price, you feel pretty darn good...
Q.) What, if anything, can make the world a better place to live?
a) SORRY,no ruber band, you could allways use the other method where you slice the scrotem open and reach in and rip the balls out ...swear to God Ive seen it done to farm animals.
Q)Should a persons pet be put to sleep if it attacks someone?
(A) Painlessly, yes. It doesn't seem fair to the pet owner, but imagine being the one attacked. But I don't think the owner should be held as responsible as manslaughter for something an animal does. There has to be some other punishment for beneficial than jail time.
(Q) Were humans meant to eat meat (given certain teeth to tear like other meat-eating animals) or is that something we came up with ourselves to make it less bad?
a) no we weren't intended to be carnivores, but try telling that to the "ah want m'ah steak now!" set. years ago i read a most informative handout culled from the pages of diet for a new america by john robbins. very sobering, indeed. as a curious aside, less than a year later an abc news/primetime live report made mention of the unclean condition of much of the "meat" - how is it any different from the flesh of our own bodies? - coming from slaughterhouses, and also noted the high incidence of suicide among workers at such places.
q) why is it so easy for the majority of people to blindly lead a lemming-like existence with no regard to others or the world around them which they impact through their decisions - complacency is a choice - on a daily basis? one is either a part of the solution or part of the problem. why is this so bloody difficult for them to comprehend?
