[Despondent]

So if you get out of your seat for the 60-year old lady, the G-force enhancing, swinging restraint is the bonus.

I used to enjoy, like when on a large Industrial elevator at the hospital, Jumping upwards just as the car descends for a momentary moment of reduced-G. I wouldn't suggest it.

New random thought-

I'm not an especially strong-willed man. I tend to think most of my moral choices are more due to a disinterest in wrongdoing. Well, and a dislike for hurting people. I'm not wrestling in turmoil to do a lot of wrong.

I also have problems keeping ymself to a schedule and doing all my homework and such.

Why do I assume that I would give my life to save someone else's, or that I would evemn do anything besides freak out in a situation like being mugged?

It's almost completely illogical, but in my mind, I feel like I wouldn't have trouble in such a scenario doing what I need to do. My rationality tells me that this is NOT the experience of others, but that doesn't affect my feelings.

Another random pointless thought-Why the hell do fast food resturants like Arby's or Wendy's dislocate their arms batting themselves on the back for "being up real late!" or "feeding the nightowl!" when they're closed by 11 or 1, respectively? Neither of these, in my book, are REALLY all that late.

There are very few people in this world that I would give my life for. Two, to be exact. Possibly three.

i would give someone elses life to save mine...

I was in Chicago, laughing at the tailpipe dragging on some old car coming over the bridge onto S. Michigan. I saw the sparks creep into flame while they were stopped at the light. I ran a half block up to the vehicle, waving my arms like crazy, shouting into the car "GET OUT! GET OUT!"

About nine people exited and within 40 seconds the car was ablaze. I really wasn't in danger, and I don't have any children even 20 years later. But if I cashed it in today I'd still feel I came out ahead.

You're a good man, Despondent. And I'm sure those nine people won't forget it.

[barend]

i fought 20 people by myself to give three friends and my girlfriend (ATT), time to get away...

i sort of gave my life... it just tuyrns out i'm harder to kill than i would have though...

yes i've brought that up before, but if you had fought 20 people i think you'd brag aabout it too so shut up..

[Despondent]

Really? Kickass. I'd like to read more.

[barend]

i think the story was adquatley covered in the news section...

the one where we all argued about violence for like six weeks

Yeah, I remember... Laura VS The Australians. How could I forget?

A friend of mine was driving along and saw a guy getting layed into by three others, so he pulled the car around, drove over the curb and knocked one of the guys to the ground. The other two started to run, so he took off after then and beat them up as well. Haven't got a chance to talk to him yet, I'm curious to see if he was being altruistic, or just itching for a fight.

Change of pace -

My father once told me about a bit of graffiti he saw in a London restroom during the 70s. It was in fact two pieces of graffiti, one a big loud statement ... and the second, a reply that another person had written sometime later (the second one being written in this elegant copperplate style print). And so this writing on the bathroom wall went a little bit like this....


Are you tired, bored and unemployed? Then join the revolution!


And become a tired, bored, unemployed revolutionary.

New PRT:

In the Green Day song, American Idiot, a line goes something like this:

"Well maybe I'm the faggot America, another part of a redneck agenda."

I think the use of the word "faggot" lamifies the entire song. Curse words don't actually have meanings, we just tend to attach one to them. Like you can use the word "fuck" as just about any part of speech except for as a preposition, but if one were ask to define "fuck," you would probably say that it means to engage in sexual intercourse. The meaning we attach with "faggot" is to be gay, or homosexual. Therefore, the line of this song conjures up the following image:

AMERICA vs. THE REST OF THE WORLD in COUNTERSTRIKE

~America explodes a random country~
The rest of the world: Dude, u r teh gay
America: no u r
The rest of the world: stfu faggot
America: lol nowtf ur teh faggot
The rest of the world: stupid fag

~THE END~

Um.... okay.
