Argh no way then, the problem with growing old is the crippling effects of age >.<. If I could stay 20 something then maybe but not if age actually affected me D:
Yep, lol I havn't posted here in AGES D: *has failed his family* T_T
I just thought of something, by immortal do you mean not affected by age or disease, or do you mean indestructable? Or just generally unable to die?
Because I couldn't just ignore the feelings I had. That would be denying part of who I am. Bottling up my feelings would only damage me in later life. I do what will make me happy, not what will make society/everyone else happy

What I mean is there is no normal. There is a normal set by society which creates all of the prejudice in society, but you are your own person. You should decide what is normal for you.
I would like to live until I could live no more. I mean, until I had nothing left to do. After that life would lose all purpose and meaning =/ (not that it has much to begin with >_> apart from what we create for ourselves of course, gah getting side-tracked >_>') Also, if I would be guaranteed good mental and physical health, there is no point in living if you are in constant pain or unable to move or communicate with the outside world. Also the part about losing everything and everyone you hold dear, that would suck big time. I think the best way to live would be outside time. Like being able to see all of time, experiencing all of time at once. Our experience of existence is limited to a minute slice of time, cramps your comprehension >_>.
Lol, again with the ignorance =_= Are you gay? Do you have feelings for people of the same sex? No? Then how do you know if gay/bi people choose to have those feelings or not? I didn't choose them. Tbh I would rather not have them. For quite a while I hated myself for it. I wanted to be 'normal'. Then I realised normal is what I make it. I am happy with what I have. My bf makes me happy, he told me he loves me last night and I love him too. I didn't choose it, but I'm not complaining either. But with marriage, I'm not sure =/. I don't know if the union of a same sex couple should still be called marriage. I'm completely for having the same rights as a straight married couple but I think calling it marriage is, ugh I don't know, off? =/ =/. Keeping it as a Civil Partnership would work x] (I'm bi btw >_>)
You are forced to love your family, but no-one ever said you have to like them ;D You have to make the distinction :D
A lot of homophobia stems from ignorance brought on by your upbringing/household (i.e. parents), by your religion or by reading/watching the wrong type of media. I think it is terrible when parents pass their prejudices on to their children. They are molding their children and putting ideas into their head that they might not agree with in late life but won't have the choice to because it is hammered in. Most times religion is to blame and that seems to be the bottom line. @RoxasNoxas - If your mother/parents reject you after telling them then they are really crappy people who don't deserve you to be honest. If they are going to let their idiotic and ignorant prejudices come before the love of their son they don't deserve you.
Exactly, communism works on the ideal of the 'commune' (where the name came from I suppose). You are no longer an individual, you are working for the betterment of the whole i.e. the country and everyone in it. Someone else will benefit from your sacrifice and in turn you benefit from others sacrifice, all controlled by the state of course.
No I don't think it is that at all for most people. Generally people just can't handle other people's emotions. They don't know how to react. So they try to stop them from expressing their emotions so they don't have to deal with them. I know if a friend came to me and burst into tears I wouldn't really know what to do, it would scare me. People don't like feeling scared =/ Especially when they have no control over it. Also when someone sees an emotion expressed by someone else it causes them to confront the emotion in themselves, maybe one they have been ignoring or one they didn't even know was there. It all comes down to fear and ignorance in the end IMO *was probably talking out of his backside* >_>
It can also be used to test for hypochondriacs i.e. people whose illness is solely in their head. People can feel sick because they are sad or depressed and then when they are told something they are being given will make them feel better. But there was recent research that showed that state of mind had no effect on certain types of cancer. Sigh, and I can't find the BBC news article >_>
The whole point is it is the choice of the woman. It is her body, she has sole responsiblity over the child. If she wants to terminate the pregancy then it's her right. She can live with the consequences.
Interesting point. The only problem is, time is a dimension. As in, we exist in 4D really. We have length, breadth, depth and we exist through a certain 'distance' of time. Bleh, this is all awkward and confusing. You are right about when you look at the night sky (or even the sky during the day) you are technically looking into the past. Light (and all electromagnetic waves for that matter) only go so fast (3.00x10^8 m/s) and as the distances in space are so (pardon the pun) astronomical that light can take years to travel from place to place. The term lightyear means the distance light travels in a year and even then some solar systems are thousands of light years away. It also isn't possible to travel at the speed of light. Scientists tend to measure speeds reached as fractions of c i.e. the speed of light. But, as you get closer to the speed of light time starts to dilate. This means that time for you seems to pass normally, but time is going by faster for the observer. This means that if you accelerated constantly for a long period of time a year could pass for you but on Earth ten years would have passed. This makes it possible to 'travel' into the future. But I'd say travelling into the past would be impossible. It would require alternate universes to exist as if you went back in time you would be creating new universes in the form of new futures. Gah, I hate time paradoxes x.x PS As others posted before I got this finished >_> Everything is constantly time travelling, but yes the radio waves would have travelled through time and ended up travelling far into the future (technically). If you are interested there is a theory that it is possible to communicate with the past using the interaction of particles from the past and future. It says that if you recorded a photon hitting an atom you would see the photon travel from one point and hitting the atom. If you played that in reverse you would see the atom emitting a photon which would then travel to a point. This theory states that these so-called 'hand-shakes' where these events meet hold the universe together. It also says that if you were able to alter the particles minutely then the changes between what you would expect to happen and what actually does happen could be noted and translated to create a message.
"Guy Fawkes is the only man to have entered the Houses of Parliament with good intentions" xD I'll probably be sitting at home watching fireworks being set off on top of Carnmoney Hill from our patio door. My father has a bad record with fireworks =__= He put a rocket upside down in a metal bucket full of mud (by accident >_>) which then exploded. Then a Catherine Wheel we put on the bird house table thing was on too tight so didn't spin so just sat and burned the wood >.< Chavs have been setting of fireworks for quite a while already >_>
Even if it is a natural occurrence/cycle it doesn't mean we should cut back on the amount we pollute and waste energy. Global Warming is only one of the many environmental threats we face. By reducing wastage, pollution and our reliance on fossil fuels and other exhaustible energy sources we will be doing the future a big favour. The problem nowadays is that we aren't thinking far enough into the future. We have to pre-empt problems that may arise for the human race now and try to at least prepare for them. Deciding to do nothing now just because it will cost money is very ill-advised =___=
Lol I'm wearing an MCR t-shirt right now xD I'm also going to see them live in November. Apparantly it's going to suck but I don't care, should be fun. I havn't listened to any of their songs in weeks though. Meh.
How long is a piece of string? And yes this does have an answer :3
Breakfast .
