abc006 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 after many different popular phrases (to me at least) going through my head, such as "Peanut butter is good on a spoon but not a fork", "Does 'soccer' exist in Europe?", and "What's the penguin doing on the tele?", a startling and disturbing thought went through my head. Why are we here? No, not at mvpmods, in the earth in general. why's there life? why's there matter, time, space, color, light, darkness, death, and peanut butter? why? I mean, there should be nothing. Logic says there should be nothing in the universe. There just shouldn't. And how'd it all get started? There has to be a beginning to everything, but how did the beginning begin? And how did that thing that made the beginning begin? And what about the end? Will there ever be one? And does the universe ever stop? Or all matter? It has to stop someplace, but then it can't, becaues what's beyond that? There has to be something everywhere, because if there isn't there's someplace where there's nothing, and how can there be empty space with nothing?

If you're just going to do that then what is the point in asking?hey i said he might be right. at first i came in with a standard answer, then i thought, "maybe he's right - i don't know, i'm debating the theory of life myself". so i said, maybe he's right. i'm still not sure. it's not really logical. man, this lemon is really sour. i'm going to make some lemon water.

tywiggins Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Here's a question to ask your Logic: Why does abc006's "This is not a signature" signature have about 3 times the area of his "This is not an avatar" avatar but the file size for the signature is about 1/7 of the file size of the avatar?

Yankee4Life Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 remember when i told you i was drunk only on the computer? so yeah... man, I- man. what's was I? man. manmanmanman.manmanmanman.manmanmanman.manmanmanman.manmanmanman.manmanmanman. manmanmanman.......etc, etc, etc Don't do that again. It gives me a headache. You started a good topic but it got way off course. Sometimes I ask myself why we are here, but not a lot. I mostly ask myself is there more out of life then I am getting? And what I mean is my daily routine. A lot of you guys in here that are still in school can't relate to it yet, but it seems that all I do is work, come home, enjoy myself a little on here or watching TV and go to bed. That's really it. There's not enough time in the day to just stop and enjoy yourself or relax. I'm tired of working long hours with hardly anything to show for it. And when I do get a vacation, something always happens to screw that up. I'm having knee surgery in January and I can't wait for that to happen because that means I'll be laid up for a month or so. It's pretty bad when you look forward to going to the hospital just so you can have some time off. Ok, rant off. Let's move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
