time (idea)

2000-05-16T10:19:54Z

I think (therefore I am)... perhaps I'll start again. I think one of the base premises' of physics is that time is always going on, as in all of time is happening at once.

This is interesting to me because it seems to me that time comes and goes, this isn't waxing philosophical but rather waxing sentimental. Like when it takes a year to go through a minute or a second to go through a month. When time twists you all up and you can't remember what you did last night because you thought it was this afternoon. Or how when your young, it takes such a long time to pass through a year. Can you remember waiting to just be old enough to go to school? Can you remember how quickly your last four years of school went? Someone once told me this was a ratio to your life. Such as when one was four, one year was a fourth of their life and alternately when one is forty, one year is 1/40th of their life. If you like math it makes sense.

If all of time is happening at once it sure makes deja vu a little more understandable.

social butterfly (idea)

2000-05-09T09:49:25Z

Some people flit and flutter. They lightly touch on others lives in a fly-by manner. They are beautiful to behold and a pleasure to listen to. In the moment they become the moment and this floats them higher. The social butterfly is not a rare creature. This species is found everyday in one's life. In fact they are in danger of over-taking society. Society tends to dote upon them, ever increasing their number and variety. They now come in all colours and forms. Some are loud and boisterous while others are gentle and loving. The social butterfly by nature can be either good or evil or a combination of both. Some like only to preen, to drain as much from life as possible, including life from other people, we call these the vampire-butterflies. Others have higher ideals and spend as much time giving as taking, these can be called the humanitarian-butterflies, or the green-butterflies. This is by no means the extent, their are many other varieties all waiting to be discovered!…

Celebration of the culture of the majority (idea)

2000-05-08T07:07:31Z

There are a few parts of this subject that need to be addressed. Firstly what do you consider white pride? Secondly gay pride and black pride movements have arisen because of a need.

Both homosexuals and black people in America along with many other people in regards to socioeconomic status, gender, religion, race, age, and a number I'm forgetting, have to live with discrimination on a daily basis. These minorities face prejudice and hatred everyday. Pride movements address this. They are a reaction and a support for these people. Just because there is a black pride movement does not mean that there has to be a white pride movement. These pride movements are not saying that being white is wrong, in fact they have nothing to do with white people at all. We should be able to allow people to claim their constitutional equality. Pride movements are soley in support of a group of people who are not in the majority and therefore not on a completely level playing field.…

ALF (thing)

2000-05-07T10:11:04Z

A.L.F. stands for Animal Liberation Front. This group wants to save as many animals as possible and disrupt the practice of animal abuse. Their ultimate goal is to end all animal suffering by forcing animal abuse companies out of business. This is done by carrying out direct action against animal abuse in the form of rescuing animals and causing financial loss to animal exploiters, usually through the damage and destruction of property. Any group of people who are vegetarians or vegans and who carry out actions according to A.L.F. guidelines have the right to regard themselves as part of the A.L.F. Almost all A.L.F. actions are against the law.

Animals that should not have been domesticated (thing)

2000-05-05T09:45:33Z

For example the hamster. I've never seen a happy hamster. They spend all day mindlessly sleeping, awaiting the nighttime. When nighttime finally rolls around -- or more accurately, early morning -- they continuously search for escape. With all the hamsters that I've had, their favorite activity is to climb on top of the water bottle squeezing themselves into a dreadfully painful looking position and proceed to try and chew through the top of their cage. There are two problems with this. One it makes a horrible noise, and no matter how sound a sleeper you are it will wake you up. Two, many times the hamster does manage to chew out of its cage and escape. This then creates several problems for the hamster, as it probably isn't escaping into its normal environment (the desert). It can die of several natural causes, namely starvation or dehydration. It can also be eaten by other domesticated animals such as the indoor house cat.

Through my life it seems that I've always…

How to be anonoymous (idea)

2000-05-05T03:58:21Z

Anybody can do it, just follow these simple steps. It certainly isn't hard with a little help to slip through the cracks, to become unknown and unheard. Conformity to the mainstream's standards is the first step. One should be average all around; one should neither be outstandingly dull or outstandingly intelligent. One should wear neutral clothing and not state opinions. One should identify with the boy/girl next door without the outgoingness, without doing all the good Samaritan acts, or baking, or basketball games, or cheerleading, or trips to the drive-in movie theatre. One is simply known as Suzy or Bob, the nice quiet kid. The one who reads on their own at recess and gets decent grades. One should name oneself Suzy or Bob and not tell anyone one's name unless it is related to work or is a life or death situation. If it is an extreme emergency one should first consider the benefits of dying anonymous as opposed to becoming the one who was saved by Jim Bob. One should not speak…
