Why am I doing this? It's not even funny!
 
I'm so sorry but I'm loosing the grip if I won't get any answers to these!

What's more powerful?
The pavement, that won't move for the wind?
The grass, that can grow through pavement?
The wind, who bends the grass?

Is it considered a bless or curse to be immortal?
Can a man change his destiny?
Can any man know his real destiny?
Would you sacrifice your soul to save the world?
Whats intelligence?
If you had the power to change the world, what would you change?
Religion, does the gods really exist?
What's the root to all evil, money or stupidity?
Is mankind already doomed to extinguishion?
Is this ridiculous or am I just depressed?

I'm afraid that's it....for now. I'll be back...trust me!!

What are your answers to these weird questions?

used:) 07-23-2005 03:05 PM

Maybe no one's answering is because A) They don't understand or B) They really don't care. Happy?

I was just empying my head...that's all!

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to be an ass (although that is what I may be at times). I thought those questions were somewhat poetic.

The pavement. Grass never actually breaks through the pavement, it takes something solid like a root. The tree is the most "powerful" in that it's the only thing that displays any amount of strength. However it is not the least vulnerable - tarmac paving is far more rigid and impact resistant. But ultimately trees are for more important, useful and attractive. Paving is there because cars are there, and cars are ugly polluters.

What's the root to all evil, money or stupidity?

Niether. The root to all evil is people. At the same time, the root to all good is people. Society aside, nature plays a part too. She can create beautiful people and lands, and then take them away in an instant. But mostly it's people. We affect the world around us hugely, sometimes we don't even know it.

Money and stupidity are just some causes of evil, but if you're going to sum up the root of all evil it has to be Nature and Humans.

Bravo. Now we can close this thread. But I think the grass is more powerful.

Grass can't break or penetrate a pavement my friend. Only tree roots can do that.

And couldn't you crush a shitload of grass with a cement brick? :p

Incorrect assumption made in the question; grass cannot and will not grow through pavement.

:

Is it considered a bless or curse to be immortal?
A blessin.
:

Can any man know his real destiny?
Destiny doesn't exist in the ways you're describing it. Stop talking about imaginary things as fact.
:

Would you sacrifice your soul to save the world?
See above, but substitute some words here and there.
:

If you had the power to change the world, what would you change?
Absolutely loads, but it would take multiple enormously long essays to explain.
:

Religion, does the gods really exist?
No.
:

Is mankind already doomed to extinguishion?
I told you previously, destiny doesn't exist. Therefore, neither does fate. Though you can still be 'doomed' to something, you can't in the ways you're thinking.
:

Is this ridiculous or am I just depressed?
Is what ridiculous? It probably is because of depression, triggered, perhaps, by your stupidity and/or ignorance of the world. Nevermind.

Right, right.

Well maybe it wouldn't be so full if you didn't keep pming me.

Erm, no. Man created God/Gods, probably as a scape goat for jihad.

What!?...How did you do that? Now I'm pwnd.

Loup Garou 07-24-2005 02:55 AM

Hmm, I'm ignorant. Destiny and fate doesn't exist. Interesting....

used:) 07-24-2005 08:36 AM

Well, I DO believe in fate and *hear's Dino and Super Munch cranking up their chainsaws* because I just have theis sort of belief that everyone has their time to die, like that huy who escaped both bomings, they were grim circumstances but he still lived. So it wasn't his time to die.

Dino 07-24-2005 08:59 AM

Fate can't be proved either way, so believing in it is pointless because there's no personal gain from believing in it. It just makes you feel like you aren't in control of anything you do, which is not a very human feeling to have.

I personally doubt it's existance somewhat - I couldn't give a shit either way, but by the use of Occam's Razor, and a careful look at what makes us do what we do, I'm inclined to lean toward fate being nonexistant. As far as I know, I use my brain to control the things that I do, and science has already proven that our brain has a process of reason, deduction, and logic. If fate controlled everything, then we wouldn't need these. But you could always go off on a lengthy spiel to describe how fate DOES have control over it. Either way if you can never explain it to the idiots, and you can never totally prove it to the scientifically inclined, it's a waste of time thinking, arguing, or dedicating any amount of energy to it.

Good point, but like I said in the Holocaust thread, it's what you believe that counts sometimes. It doesn't quite matter which is correct to me either, because I would cnsider things pretty good for myself right now.

The pavement, that won't move for the wind?

The wind, who bends the grass?
Grass cannot grow through pavement.
Is it considered a bless or curse to be immortal?A curse. Imagine watching all your friends and family die right before you (Read "Tuck Everlasting").
Can a man change his destiny? Your destiny is what you make of it.
Can any man know his real destiny? See previous question.
Would you sacrifice your soul to save the world? Yes.
What's intelligence? Wisdom makes a weak man strong, a poor man king, a good generation of a bad one, and a foolish man reasonable.
If you had the power to change the world, what would you change? Sexism, racism, hatred, hunger, poor, wealth, sickness and jealousy.
Religion, do the Gods really exist? It depends on how you define "God".
What's the root to all evil, money or stupidity? A stupid person with money.
Is mankind already doomed to extinguishion? Yes, as a matter of fact.
Is this ridiculous or am I just depressed? You tell me.

Loup Garou 07-24-2005 03:34 PM

All right...I haven't thought my first question carefully. Dino's having a good point though, no-one can prove if destiny exist ,but science can't explain everything. Science can't prove God's existance. I don't believe in God, but I believe in fate and destiny. No-one can escape from it, we are trapped in a web of our actions, and in the end we'll get the payback. Haven't you guys heard the legend of King Oidupus?
