I prefer ritz.

Maslow's triangle rates shelter and protection as the second most important need, after sustenance. I'd say guns are a variation of a need that we have in a world now that they exist. What that falls under though is protection, or more specifically weapons. We need weapons to protect ourselves from those who are normally stronger than us, in nature it's the animal kingdom, in society, ir's criminals, and internationally it's every other country.

It takes a lot to leave me speechless, this video came the closest. NSFW.

That was nifty.

I don't now if it was because of the chords, or just because of their delivery, but this was not that great it did not make it sound as upbeat as I recall the song to be, it sounded more ominous and dramatic.

It sounded a lot like "mad world" by Gary Jules, in the beginning.

Kind of the defeats the purpose of it being a road wouldn't you say? Maybe just make it 'SolaSidewalk".

Also roads are destroyed by a number of things, vehicles being only the major issue. Weather, and temperature changes also being a pretty significant part.

So they ditched the idea of them being octagonal, or is this another group, separate from the "solar freakin' roadways" people?

Either way, that's pretty cool. I remember while proposing this idea, one of the arguments against it, was the fact that roads often get wrecked, and need to be retouched every few years or so. So one of the biggest problems with these roads, that our current roads didn't so much of, was being a pretty expensive fix. That said, I hope they worked he kinks out of the cost and fix issue, and I want to see how this turns out. Maybe the rest of the world will get on board pretty soon.

Your hypothetical relies heavily on an A.I., something that we have yet to create, making it only slightly less valid, but I ask this since you seen content on A.I. not being alive.

When we get to that point, with A.I. and robots, and a robot can look you in the face and say something from their own collection of chemical influxes that they were not programmed to say but just felt like saying, something that was beautiful and or poetic, maybe tragic and or deeply philosophical, when and if this happens you wouldn't consider that being to have a life of it's own. Even if not a life-form in physical sense, the term alive has a vast amount of meaning, more so than just a beating heart, and the ability to reproduce.

This video makes me sick. Do they not have anything better to do than to find some false message, validated only by their crazy heads, then campaign around getting it known?

And for what I ask? Specifically of this video, isn't Satan a metaphor, or is he suddenly real now that it suits your purpose? This is part of the reason why Christianity is dying, along with most religions. They are getting more and more outlandish, and people are starting to see it, the desperation to stay relevant.

A girl gamer/designer, Zoe Quinn, made a game about depression, and she wanted to get it known, so she talked to some gaming journalists to make it more known.

She at the time, was dating, or sleeping with a gaming journalist, who she either cheated on, or broke up with, it's not important.

He, as a pissed off ex, outed pics of her nude, and alleged scandals within the gaming journalism industry, and how she was apparently sleeping with journalists to get herself more popular or something.

I swear I've heard this joke before... and I didn't even watch Cheers.

Eminem took it back, and made it better.

People are always going to talk, and they will always have something negative to say.

If that book existed, it'd have more chapters and or verses than the bible, and more sequels than Harry Potter.

Reading it would most likely do nothing constructive, lead to my own self worth and self esteem being degraded some, and if I did decide to make a change based one what was said in the book, I would no longer be myself, I'd just be conforming to others' opinions of me. Which of course would elicit book two, as people vent their disgust for how I've changed.

You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time... So why bother.

A person's head is hardly a perfect circle. It has edges, it has corners, and it has faces. Specifically speaking of the front face, when washing one's face, their is a moment when you feel that you are n longer on the semi flat surface that is your 'face' and are now creeping into an area that feels like a different semi flat surface that is your head.

To answer this question, as far as going up is concerned, you stop washing your face, when you feel that you have reached the curve that leads to your head.

As for the rest of the face, well their is your chin as a marker going down, and your ears as a marker going left and right.

Some people survive that way. They'd rather eat meat, they killed themselves, rather than be spoon fed it by the government and or private organizations that could tamper with it somehow.

Because the breasts aren't as big as you believe they are, they're a ruse.

I think I read someone's debate that said we should just take all the warning labels off of things, and let the rest sort it's self out.

Not all bras, just the bras that have the padding in them to make the breasts look bigger.

A larger portion of government spending goes into it.

This is typically the no side, so. I'll go with no.

A racist person would probably prefer chocolate closest to their race, thus black racists would prefer regular chocolate.

Non blacks, non whites don't think I forgot you. I bet your racists just don't like chocolate.

Laws protect society, as they should. Society decides laws, by voting. Individuals may vote, but individual votes mean very little.

Penny in light socket is a no-no.

Well yes, so I could both kill it and retrieve it, but for my initial assumption, and a valid assumption at that, a corpse being a creature is not necessary, since like I've said I believe four times now, if I kill the creature, and remove it from the tree in the process, I have achieved the only task that was asked of me, which was to "get the cat out of the tree"

Remember when i explained how "get...out" or "get X out" simply means to remove, nothing more nothing less.

That's a generalization. You don't know everyone so you don't know if that is everyone's desire. As far as we know that could be a prized tree, and the owners of said tree just wanted the cat infestation out of it.

However, I take you back to my valid question that asked if it had to be alive. Even if they did want the cat back, retrieved, more so than removed from the tree solely, that doesn't specify if they want it alive.

In old western movies, wanted posters ask for criminals to be brought to the jail, except they specify if they want the criminal dead or alive.
