RE: ¿What if.......?

It would depend entirely on what they'd done, and why they did it. For instance, if it was something I consider justified but the law doesn't, like assisted suicide, I would support them and wait for them. Or if it was an awful mistake, like vehicular homicide, and they took full responsibility and were genuinely sorry, I would also not abandon them.

I guess it all depends on if their crime was something I could forgive and/or understand. If I couldn't resolve my own feelings over whatever they did, probably not.

RE: HELP!

Tell you're friend to do more research before flipping. Terence did not actually say the world was going to end. He said that a end-of-the-world kind of event would take place. On his website it's stated

Novelty Theory suggests that on December 21 of 2012 AD, at the coincidence of the moment of the solstice and the heliacal rising of the galactic center, levels of planetary novelty will exponentially increase. Theory does not make clear the nature of the ultranovel event, however. Speculation as to the nature of the encounter with the trans-dimensional object at the end of time includes the following:

* Hyperspatial Breakthrough
* Planetesimal Impact
* Alien Contact
* Historical Metamorphosis
* Metamorphosis of Natural Law
* Solar Explosion
* Quasar Ignition at the Galactic Core

Theoretically, some or all of the above could happen based on his hypothesis. However, they are also just theories. In addition, his speculations, from what I've read, leaned more toward a dramatic shift in human existence than an end to it. He saw an epoch event at that time. That can be cataclysmic. It can also be transcendent. Tell her to read more on his theories before jumping the gun and planning for the end of it all.

RE: WHY ARE YOU WORTH GETTING TO KNOW ?....TELL THE TRUTH !

Because they feel being redundant is a quality that makes them worth getting to know?

j/k

Because if you honestly could show me you've ever met another person like me, I'll give you $20. And if you are a person like me, well we better just stick it out together, because most of the world doesn't get us.

RE: which country has most beautiful woman

I can't believe it took 4 pages for someone to mention California girls. Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking it.

I've always thought Catherine Zeta Jones was a stunning woman, and since Rhys Ifans and Ioan Gruffudd are also from there, I'm going to go with Wales.

Spin Doctors...

Two Princes In My Pants

RE: In my pants

I think I prefer Here Comes the Sun In My Pants.

RE: Vista Computers

Do you think the younger ones, if they even know what a floppy is, wonder why we call them that? I mean, they did used to actually flop, once upon a time. Hell, they even folded.

RE: Vista Computers

Ok, trying to imagine accessing this website in DOS...I think I'm having an aneurysm.

RE: Vista Computers

Sad but true. I had Vista, during beta I will admit, for 6 months. I had fond memories of ME after that.

Vista is actually in such bad shape that they are extending the life of XP. It was due for obsolescence soon, but it will remain alive and kicking for a while.

RE: Vista Computers

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Vista is one of the worst mistakes in the history of Microsoft. Most people report nothing but problems. I highly recommend downgrading to XP if at all possible.

RE: Can you be in love with 2 people at one time?

The ability and capacity of humans to love is far too complex and uncertain to ever assume anything. You don't choose who you fall in love with, so you can't say it could never happen if you're already in love.

It's only how you act on your feelings that you can control.

RE: Black Friday.....who's gettin up to go?

I'm debating. The problem is, when you're on a budget, the sales are sometimes hard to resist. There is a great 19" monitor for way cheap that I've got my eye on.

I doubt I'll do it though. It's just way too fricking cold out right now.

RE: What Is The Worse Movie Ever Made?

That only applies to movies like Saturday the 14th though. Some are bad because they try to be funny and don't even pull off campy.

And, Baio actually did a pretty good movie a couple of years ago called The Bread, My Sweet.

RE: Can someone riddle me this?...

I just keep thinking that if Bill was able to turn things around after we got done with Reagan, someone's gotta be able to undo Dubya's mess. Of course, with it increasing about 1 1/2 billion a day, it might take two or three someone's.

Maybe we need to hurt GB writers guild style, take away Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader until he gets his !$#@% under control. That might keep him in line.

RE: Who The Heck Is Tila Tequila?

Yep, MTV2 and Fuse are already walking away from vids. The rest will follow, just as VH1 did. As someone who was watching the moment MTV aired, it makes me

RE: The True Church or False Teachings

Second only to their ep on Scientology for chuckles. Hmm, might be a tie.

No one can tell anyone which belief system is right. Just gotta follow your own ideals and find something that makes sense to you.

RE: OK...Who's Big Idea Was It

You guys get no snow and you have Eddie Izzard? Well it's official then. I'm fricking jumping the pond.

Today was a smorgasbord of weather. Rain, sleet, more rain, snow, rain, mix, snow, and liberal spicing with icy wind all day. And I was also walking around with no jacket yesterday. I hate the midwest.

RE: What Is The Worse Movie Ever Made?

I have only ever truly hated one movie, and I watch a lot of them. Usually there's some redeeming quality, but not in this case.

Wild Wild West

Anyone who can take Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Ken Branagh, and Ted Levine, stick them in a Sonnenfeld movie, toss in some butt shots of Salma Hayek, and still make something that awful needs to be beaten soundly with a large blunt object.

And who do we have to thank for this disaster of a movie? Jon Peters; the moron who couldn't figure out why Kevin Smith kept referring to Superman by the name Kal-El in his script.

RE: signs of the zodiac

>GEMINI - Irresistible
>Nice. Love is one of a kind. Great listeners Very Good in the you know
>where... Lover not a fighter, but will still knock you out. Trustworthy.
>Always happy. Loud. Talkative. Outgoing VERY FORGIVING. Loves to make out.
>Has a beautiful smile. Generous. Strong. THE MOST IRRESISTIBLE.

Hmm, where on earth did they get these crazy ideas about Gemini's? Ok, most of it's right, but Always happy and VERY FORGIVING? Maybe if you're talking to the side of them that wants to be an Amway rep.

As for the irresistible thing, I liken meeting a Gemini to being weightless and then suddenly encountering a force of gravity. You better hang on to something or you might end up flat on your back wondering what happened.

RE: Your favourite movie of all time.....

The JoBeth Williams/Tom Conti one? You mean someone besides me has seen that movie?! One of my all time faves.

I've been asked to make an actual list at times, I tell people I might be able to narrow it down to 10 per genre, but even that would be pushing it. Here's an extremely brief list...

Her Minor Thing, Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, Jeffrey, Dogma, All Over The Guy, Simply Irresistible, From The Hip, The Goodbye Girl, Arsenic and Old Lace, His Girl Friday, Game Box 1.0, New Nightmare, Music and Lyrics, 50 First Dates, Grandma's Boy, Sliding Doors, Passion of the Mind, The Buddy System, Pillow Talk, French Kiss, Face The Music (Dempsey/Ringwald one), Breakfast Club, Circus...

Ok I'll stop now. If any of my family got onto So You Want to Be A Millionaire, I'd be their lifeline for anything movie related. My sis calls me her walking IMDB.

RE: What exactly is dating?

Bizarre to consider, since I've had a reasonable amount of relationships and nearly been married once, but I've never been on a single date in my life. When I was seeing people romantically, it was always that I'd meet someone through a friend and suddenly we were 'going out'. Then it became more serious or it ended.

This is the way it was with all my friends in high school and after. I got to wondering if actually getting asked out for a date was something that only happened in movies. Funny thing is I write a lot of first dates, but have never been on one. So much for writing what you know.

RE: Why are you single?

Oh sure, you guys say that to start with, but after an hour you're wondering how soon you can feed us so we stop talking.

RE: Why are you single?

Hmm, interesting idea. What a pair of serial monogamists we'd make.







Repeat?

RE: will there ever be a perfect world ?..and what does george bush mean by ' a new world order ' ?

What does he mean by New World Order? What makes you think he knows? It's called a sound byte, and it's all GW is good for. The man couldn't order take out without an advisory panel. I think this whole presidency is just so people would forget the physical comedy of Ford. GW just falls down verbally on a regular basis.

I don't want a perfect world. Perfection is boring, and humanities greatest perfection is in it's imperfection. But one where empathy rules over a firm fist would be lovely.

RE: Why are you single?

I found the ultimate Gemini word, Mutable! Whoever applied that is bloody brilliant.

I probably would be happily married if any man could understand half of what comes out of my head. The only one likely to be able to handle my 500-channel mind would probably be another gemini, but then the other personalities would be bickering constantly and we'd never have time to talk ourselves.

I learned a long time ago that any man who would interest me would likely find me over-stimulating, the point of aneurysm.

RE: Just answer the question....

Whew, I was afraid it was just me who thought this way. I figure it depends on the complexity of the question and/or my opinion on it. I won't pretend I can't get a little verbose, but I figure that's what forums are supposed to be for too.

RE: Can a woman be too loud in bed??

Of course, if she's doing that, you run the risk she'll accidentally blurt out someone else's.

There is nothing I hate more than a silent man in bed. Well, maybe a silent man in bed in 'movies', but it's a close tie. Nice to know I'm not the only vocal woman around. Never had a complaint about too much noise though, except from one set of roommates. And when that happened I just reenacted the last time they went at it, including a pretty good imitation of him saying "Who's your daddy?" and they shut their traps.

RE: God...fact or fiction?

You say they are specific, yet again you only mention the symbolic. And btw, there has been so called false religion since christianity began. There has been war, since mankind began, as well as famine and death. These are nothing new. Tell me about specifics. A man on a horse, no matter what name you give him, does not equal a scud missile. And did I miss disease, or does that fall under famine? If there are 7 signs, why are there 4 horsemen? And you still haven't addressed the issue of divination and abomination.

And we have been on the brink of WWIII in the past, and more significantly than we are now. Do you know even know about the Cuban missile crisis? So things are very scary with South Korea. Guess what, we spent decades in a cold war with one of the largest superpowers, at the time, in history. It never turned into WWIII. If you want to make a point, use facts, not symbols. Otherwise, you're just trying to preach to the impossible to convert.

And also, just to point out, it's not really possible for a text to interpret itself. Not unless it comes with a rosetta stone attached. Just ask the supreme court. And that document isn't nearly as old as your book, and they are working with a copy that's never been translated (or especially translated inaccurately) from multiple languages.

RE: God...fact or fiction?

No, writing down a scientific theory is not divination. Determining why a ball will move toward the earth when it is released, even if your suggesting that it will and why, is scientific theory. You're not stating something to be true, you are hypothesizing and then testing that hypothesis.

Divination is the practice of attempting to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge by occult or supernatural means. Prophecies existing in the bible were received by divination. It doesn't matter how long they existed, that's how they got there. And there are stories in the bible where people used it to know gods will, yet the bible says it's an abomination. That's a contradiction. In point of fact, attempting to gain knowledge by supernatural means is pretty much how the bulk of the old testament was created. Diving what god wanted to tell people and writing it down is a form of divination. So the whole abomination thing is just a little screwy.

RE: OK so MEN tell me why you guys like long hair so much?

Seriously, you don't know why dudes like long hair? Does the term pony play mean anything to you?
