Would you mind making them a bit bigger? <not funny

I hope you're not a teacher/have no intentions of becoming one [kidding]. The rudeness of interrupting a teacher, when it's warranted, pales in comparison to the egregiousness of promulgating misleading or fallacious information. If a correction/legitimate question is called for, the...

I had a bit of closet religious zealot (if thats possible) for a Western Civilization class three semesters ago - after assigning us our first paper, she spent 15 minutes warning us that if we used 'BCE' instead of 'BC', not only would we not get full credit, but we'd somehow be contributing to...

That's an excellent point, if I could somehow get the past the fact that I was banging a guy, it would be wild crazypants sextime 24/7. WHAT AM I SAYING!? Although I think the original post implied a sort of 'mental congruity,' not necessarily physical, so couldn't your equal in this regard be...

I think the narcissist in me would seriously consider doing the same - making sweet, passionate, naked love to a carbon copy of myself...although I'm not gay, so it's a toss-up/could get awkward.

[Please disregard this post] Anyone have any ideas on how to circumvent the conservation of energy principle? Or for perpetual motion machines?

I was just saying being 'close' could possibly be educational in some way, and I'm not sure attempting suicide is the de facto way to achieve this sort of heightened awareness (if this is what happens). But no, killing yourself - a successful suicide - is not educational, if anything it's the...

I know this sounds arrogant, but I couldn't help but laugh, worrying about unintentionally rendering a dangerous substance while trying to make an enormously potent batch of alcohol - which is also not good for you.

I've gone through periods of intense and unremitting suicidal ideation in the past, even getting so far as to write a note, but the thought that always pulled me back was imagining the few moments interposed between life and loss of consciousness, which I'm sure a great number of those who've...

YES! So much, all the effing time. I'll work through conversations I've had with people, whether lighthearted or serious, taking them in new directions, trying to make myself laugh, see something new in what they or I was saying, etc. etc. Often at night or in the car driving while listening to...

I tend to assume that most people are full of it, and rarely mean what they say, and this can make compliments awkward - I usually just giggle and chuckle until the trouble blows over, but sometimes people notice just how blatantly disingenuous my reaction is, and give me dirty looks. ex...

Norm MacDonald?

Agreed, I thought there was a glaring lack of sexual tension between SJ and BM, it seemed much more innocent and lighthearted than that.

I remember watching 'Hoop Dreams' alone at like 3 AM in the morning on a free movie channel when I was 14 or 15 and almost tearing up towards the end, still not exactly sure why.

Hopefully I'll be enjoying the fruits of my labor, having pulled off the greatest train heist this world has ever seen, thereby becoming extraordinarily wealthy and a folk hero/given a firm 'tap on the wrist' by the law, granted impunity by an adoring jury/judge/court of law.

Isn't this the plot of some movie? It makes you wonder though, aside from the button, if you've unwittingly killed someone or many in your lifetime, simply by doing something at a given time in a given place, contributing in a trivial/possibly significant way to someone's death.

I'm seeing a psychologist, and your post would describe me pretty well/bang on. Find someone you can be honest with, intelligence is crucial - someone able to maintain a conversation rather than ask thoughtless, 'A then B' questions - and someone who can make you laugh. I don't know if my...

I like to write but rarely have the patience for it, probably why I prefer poetry - the relative brevity and the fact that somehow the more ambiguously worded and vague your poem is, the better. helium.com is interesting, you can submit creative writing/bare your soul to be judged and rated by...

I enjoyed the 'Babe' reference, what a brilliant movie. ...cheers...mate? Just kidding, I wouldn't want to insult a perpetually inebriated felon/sheepherder.

Mos Def - Black on Both Sides (es bueno) Prodigy - Product of the 80's Wu Tang - Iron Flag RZA - Digi Snacks

Dead-on. Couldn't 'resist'... It's pretty widely accepted that quoting individual words in a sentence makes you intellectually superior/ironic/'above all this'.

It may be social anxiety, I've found myself agonizing for 15-20 minutes over the way I opened the door to a convenience store, or the way I've loaded groceries into the car (can't help but think everyone is watching intently). It's just this 'hyper-awareness' of even the most trivial things [see...

^Walking IN THE air. I'm an idiot.:cat::elephant::cat::cat:

I would think if it's an airport they'll probably drug test you, if you're confident you can pass the test, there's really no reason to bring it up.

+1. It is stupendous.

Van Morrison (!) (Moondance, Common One, It's Too Late To Stop Now, Saint Dominic's Preview in particular) - probably some of the most original and intensely emotional music ever made, you should 'give it a listen.' The Clash Animal Collective (Merriweather Post Pavilion, Strawberry Jam) Seu...

The term 'Quaker' used to be an insult, and look how far they've come. Maybe one day homosexual males will welcome being called 'faggots.' I doubt it.

Most of the negative stereotypes center around the 'Northeners,' the rumscrugglers and whorish trollops who have unprotected sex in the middle of the street - cheering each other on while doing so, and give their children scotch/drugs. I live in southern NJ, we're tea drinkers, mostly literate...

1,2, and 3 are pretty dead-on, don't you dare threaten me, and thank you. I love you

More clam digger than piney really, although I'm probably somewhere in between. I know what you mean, we've been wanting to secede for quite some time now.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm a 20 year old m living in southern NJ, and I enjoy arguing, fishing for compliments, and using profanity. I've taken the 'test' a few times, and it came back 'INTP' twice, INTJ the other time - I can see bits of myself in both personality descriptions/not bragging...

Alexander the Great. The guy conquered almost the entire known world in less than twenty years for Pete's sake. Confusing: He's 'great' and a much revered historical figure, yet those with similar ambitions in modern times are always the 'bad guys.' Are you trying to discourage me, modern...

I realize how unbelievably pompous and pretentious this is, but I wrote a poem a little while ago which I feel might be appropriate. I wonder... How would the cashier react, if I answered honestly, when asked, "How are you today?" If, for once, I chose to ignore the compulsion to trade...

Point(s) taken, you're absolutely right, and I apologize for the misunderstanding. I'll clarify what I meant to ask in the 'evolution' thread. Thanks for gathering the information, it was helpful, and I do have some questions pertaining to the articles you've provided. I'll post them soon. Sorry.

Madoness, would you care to explain your general 'asshole-ishness'? I got self-conscious, and decided to erase the list, deleting it was taking too long. I'm sure you'll have a witty retort for me; You'll probably quote the second sentence in this paragraph and post something along the lines of...

Do you think this 'desire for distinction' or originality is somewhat tempered by our propensity to undermine the seriousness of things, realizing just how utterly meaningless/affectatious most things are? Self-aware to the point of it being a detriment?

I don't know If I could ever be happy doing 'one thing' professionally, for the rest of my life, I don't want a steady, predictable career. I've always had aspirations of becoming extraordinarily wealthy at a very young age, and spending the rest of my days wandering around the world being...

Conspiracy du jour: David Rockefeller & CFR, Trilateral Commisson. The assumptions made by conspiracy theorists are mostly poppycock, but there is certainly some 'food for thought' in this one. CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), a 'think tank' of sorts, dealing in international relations and...

I chose 'bananaphallus' for it's homoerotic/banana undertones. I use 'wankerbrit' for a lot of things also, this name was inspired by British people's well known penchant for masturbating capriciously/ad nauseum/in public - something which makes me giggle, often.

I'm surprised there's been no mention of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.' Personally I think it's one of the funniest shows of all time (which really isn't saying much considering my frame of reference). Top Gear is also outstanding. Any Norm MacDonald appearance on television is also a...
