  1. I like to play supporting roles, or just work in the background. Also, I love speech writing and debating. I've given up on stage related things, but I continue to write speeches for school and I love arguments (usually between family). Saying that makes me sound strange... oh well...
  2. Granted, the heavy punches out all of your blood and eats the sandwich. I wish ancient aliens didn't meddle with humanity's future.
  3. Poor Sampa was ignored. The soup, the Illuminati, the Egyptians, they're all connected! Wake up and see the truth! Waiter, the Kraken of the Sea is swimming in my soup!
  4. They're only bubbles. Waiter, there's water in my soup!
  5. Granted, you can now fly... at one kilometre per hour. I wish I could enforce grammar naz ism upon the world! ​Gap so the word isn't censored like n a z i.
  6. I agree with you but, one of the problems is showing people the danger. As Ayn Rand said: "The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see." People choose what they believe, often dismissing any evidence presented to them against their view, or showing them they may want to reconsider their approach towards the topic. Take climate change for example: A significant amount of people still refuse to acknowledge the effect humans are having on the planet despite 97% of scientists saying it's real, despite seeing flash-flooding and drought, despite seeing countless graphs and charts showing the huge difference between natural change and change caused by humans. They look only for the information that confirms their original belief (confirmation bias). Another problem is humans are terrible at looking into the future and seeing the outcome of things. We are far more likely to act on matters that affect us at the moment. If something is going to take some time to change something we say: 'I'll deal with that later'. This often leads to cases where it is too late to act. As MartinNiemöller described it: "When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent; I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out." The final problem (I have identified) is people are unwilling to accept that problems can arise in their home. They see wars on T.V. and think that only happens in foreign countries. They see natural disasters destroying homes and believe they are immune. They see oppressive governments being denounced by the U.N. yet refuse to acknowledge the fact that their own is becoming much worse than the one on the telly. All these reasons (and possibly more) add up to make it almost impossible to change someone's mind. The only person who can really change an opinion is the person with the opinion. (sorry for the wall of text)
  7. This is me: JK! I like my privacy, so here's a picture of my dog: Don't worry, I bought her a new bed.
  8. How is that possible? Eh, it doesn't matter. I'm sorry. Waiter, Les Grossman is dancing in my soup.
  9. Granted, your internet crashes before you can post your wish. I wish I could stay in bed.
  10. Granted, you now suffer from severe insomnia. No amount of sleep aiding drugs or practices help you fall asleep. I wish I didn't have a week of mock-exams.
  11. I love the Dres and Minmus themes. I want to learn an instrument now, just so I can help bring the rest of the themes out faster!
  12. Trying... so hard... not to go into... politics! I don't actually live in the U.S. for... reasons, however this vote will affect me in a way because other countries will follow what the U.S. does, so I've been campaigning for Net Neutrality. I believe, eventually, a law(s) will be passed to control what can be viewed on the internet. I sincerely hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime though. I can't live without chaos. I really don't think the KSP Forums are a great place to be debating this topic, but I'll continue to come back here anyway.
  13. I got what I expected (only searched Colserra). First result: Also someone stole my name, removed the 3, and used it in Minecraft:
  14. There is a brilliant game on newgrounds.com related to this topic. It's called Nothing to Hide (too lazy to post link), I'm pretty sure it's for everyone, or just teens, regardless I'm pretty sure everyone here matches that criteria. On the subject of privacy I do appreciate it, but I'm not a fanatic. I just don't want to be blackmailed with possible embarrassing, or controversial information someone may dig-up and seeing the way governments and private industries are going, that is a very real possibility. I'm not growing up in a third-world, or oppressive country, but I have seen the steps that governments take to become oppressive and I hate to tell y'all, but the steps are being taken across the world. Because I'm a loner and possible revolutionary, privacy is one of the things I value most, I don't even have a mobile phone, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain privacy in the modern world, and eventually I'll be forced to either conform, or do something drastic and I don't like either one of those decisions.
  15. I don't know why I'm here. I feel absolutely no need for any sort of romantic relationship and often times, when with friends, I want to be alone. I suppose through study of relationships between humans I can say: Be honest; no-one appreciates someone who hides things from them, especially since (most times) you'll be planning on spending alot of time with your partner (this applies to STD's aswell).
  16. I chose to save the one guy. Everyone appears to be saying if you don't pull the lever you're killing four people, but if you pull it you're saving them. They refuse to acknowledge that by pulling the lever you're killing that one guy. You are deliberately putting him in harms way, whereas if you leave the four guys to die it's entirely not your fault. Either: They were stupid enough to be on a working track, or there was some miscommunication that lead to their deaths. Either way you are not involved; you are a bystander. No (just) court in the world can put in prison, or even fine you for not putting someone in harms way. If people hassle you saying 'How could you let four people die?', ask them 'So, you think the man deserved to die?' The families of the dead will hate you regardless of whether you make the "right" decision.
  17. I love seeing this being picked apart by logic. I would've sent the faster ship, you have a guaranteed survival rate of 33%, plus you can say, fill the boat with life jackets and throw them to the people you can't pickup yet, so they can survive longer, or the countless other variations others have posted. The problem I have with these questions is that there's always so many things you can do other than the options presented, which is why these are philosophical questions, not psychological. They don't really provide enough room for you to make a thought-out decision, sure you can use maths to determine the big boat has 50% survival chance, while small boat only has 33%, but there are things you can do to completely reverse that. Also, I kind of agree with ravensoul6. If attempting to rescue the survivors would put my passengers at risk, I wouldn't do it. Side note: If I'm in charge of multiple ships, wouldn't that make me an admiral?
  18. I'd just let the wizard kill me. I'm not going to decide the fate of humanity, also how do I know the wizard is telling the truth when he "shows me the future"? It seems as if he's just trying to get me to doubt my decision. Each choice I make that seems for the better (E.x: 5 people live, 1 dies), he says 'Oh no! Looks like it wasn't for the better after all! Mwuahahahaha!' So in defiance of his rules, I'd prefer to die just so he doesn't get the satisfaction of seeing me question myself repeatedly. (That was a long rant about an evil wizards plans!)
  19. I haven't yet encountered an e-mail scammer, but in my country phone scamming is quite big, and so I've had experiences with them. I play along for a while, lure them into a sense of confidence, and then, depending on who can hear me, I'll scream so profanity into the phone and shout every word I say, or, if I have guests over, I'll either threaten them like Liam Neeson, or I'll act like they're a crime syndicate who've tracked me down. Phone scams, in my opinion, are worse than e-mail, because e-mail you can reply when you have spare time, but when the phone rings in the middle of a conversation and you answer it just to find out it's a scam, it can be infuriating. So, the scam may not be successful, but they might have still succeeded in pis- er, annoying you.
  20. Recently, I've been listening to the classics: Tchaikovsky (I love 1812 Overture!), Wagner, and Beethoven (get off my lawn). However, I often listen to Dean Martin, Queen, and Elena Siegman. (I am weird, though I think the only reason why I like Siegman is because she's psycho, like me!)
  21. I have two: Star Wars: Empire at War + Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 They were the games that introduced me to the strategy genre and PC gaming as a whole. I never hear anyone talking about Empire at War. It had land and space battles! In 2006! By seeing other people's favorite games, you can determine pretty accurately how old they are.
  22. Granted, the planet accepts pee as its new ruler. Wars happen more often then ever. I wish that the cold war left America without military or political power.
