something_to_ponder Rhin "If you try to fail, and succeed. Which have you done?" Hmmmmm... 001115 ... silentbob you have succeeded 001115 ... Rhin a successful failure. 001115 ... Rhin A cave-in occurs while you and a stranger are in a concrete room deep in a mine shaft. Before the phone goes dead, you learn the entire mine is sealed and the air hole being drilled will not reach you for 30 hours. If you both take sleeping pills from the medicine chest, the oxygen will last for only 20 hours. Both of you can't survive; alone, one of you might. After you both realize this, the stranger takes several sleeping pills, says that it is in God's hands, and falls asleep. You have a pistol; what do you do? 001128 ... daxle I would hit him with the gun constantly, making sure he never got to sleep 001129 ... senior Barrett are there any taco's? 001129 ... Homer mmmmmmmmmmmm, taco's 001129 ... Inanna Are you drinking recycled dinosaur piss? 011008 ... unhinged what do you do when someone who has a history of lieing and pyschoses says that when he made the comment about killing ian it was just a joke? do you feel bad that you went to the police and told your violin professor that you were afraid of him? do you feel scared when you hear him tell you that it would be okay if he lied to the police because it is basically your word against his since the other person that heard him say it refuses to get involved? should you have written it off to immaturity just like everyone else does everytime he says or does something inappropriate? did i do the right thing? 011008 ... baby satan the less you know, the more you remember. see, the less data your brain is required to store, the less it has to work to hold onto that data, thus making it that much easier to retain what's there. so, a stupid person has a great memory? an intelligent person has a shitty one? no. let's examine what tom jones sang about bestial fellatio: "it's not unusual to be bombed by anyone it's not unusual to be killed by anyone and if you see me out getting killed by anyone, it's not unusual to see me crying" now we arrive at a heretofore unexplored theory: bowel demotion. but that theory explains itself. so we end somewhere in the middle, playing with ourselves right off the coast of decatur. 011008 ... Rhin you and a person you love deeply are placed in separate rooms with a button next to each of you. you know that you will both be killed unless one of you presses your button before 60 minutes pass; furthermore, the first to press the button will save the other person, but will immediately be killed. what do you think you would do? 021230 ... Rhin for the record, the cave-in and the kill-button questions were both taken from the book 'the book of questions' 021230 ... p2 too easy make it so that the button kills the one you love or that the other person is someone you hate then you have a real choice to make 021230 ... Rhin okay, then what would you do? 021230 ... Rhin if you had to spend the next 2 years inside a small but fully provisioned Antarctic shelter with 1 blatherskite, whom would you like to have with you? (revised - the book of questions) 021230 ... p2 funny i would do the same in either case if it would kill the one i love i would not push the button if we both die at least we will not have to live without the other if it would kill me and save someone i truly hate i would not push the button i'd rather we both die i am, afterall, a slytherin 021230 ... Rhin ditto. 021230 ... silentbob on the one hand if i had been home when she called i could have hung out with her tonight, instead of hanging out with my friend that was depressed, and we didnt do anything important anyway. on the other hand, he needed me. 021230 ... pontifier I'd shoot the dude with a quickness as he sleeps, pop a pill or two myself, and take a nappy wappy. Second question, I'd simply go crazy from anxiety, and see where that would take me. Third, I'd chill in the ice box with 'that girl over there.' you know how she likes the white cotton panties. 021230 what's it to you? who go blather from
