Question

Writers...how alike are we all?
So yes or no answers

Answer

Bowser.brbr You prefer to write alonebrAbsolutely. I get very selfconscious if I try to write in a room with others, so I tend to just wait until Im alone. And Id never, ever be able to cowrite a novel with someone.brbr You are an introvertbrHa! Yes. I think I take, quotintrovertquot to a whole new level. My brother has Aspergers, and my Mum wanted to get me tested for it as well because Im so antisocial. But I assured her that I just dont like people, and its true.brbr When you go to bed, you usually have a predream, where you control the dreamstory in your headyou think about your own storybrOn occasion, yes. I dont do it every night, but a few times a week I find my mind wandering to Glendeyn and figuring out whats going to happen next.brbr You daydreambrLets just say my minds in the clouds.brbr When you get an idea when you are out, you think about it for the rest of the day until you get in and have to write type it down and you end up forgetting where you even were or what you were doing, lolbrYes! But my mind is so erratic that I very rarely manage to remember the entire idea. Its so annoying gtbrbr You prefer to stay in and write than go out to a partybrYuck, parties.brShuddersbrThe last thing I want to do is stand around in a room with a bunch of drunk teenagers getting hit on by people that repulse me.brbr You are femalebrYes brbr You hatedont like exercisingbrWell. Only because its so damned hot in this country. Id probably exercise if I had some form of equipment in the house... Like an Ab Twister! Ah, Id love one of those. But most of the time Im just sitting around on my a. Thank God for my fast metabolism.brbr You are creative in other things, such as art, music, dancing etc...brNo brIm the most uncreative person in the universe. Im also terrible at analytical things, like math and science. Writing is pretty much the only thing I have, and even then Im not that great at it.brI used to play bass and write songs, but I pretty much sucked. And then my bass broke so... That was the end of that fiasco. I also used to play the violin, but I was so terrible that my teachers hair actually started falling out. And as for art, well... I like to doodle.brbr When you read, you sometimes roll your eyes if the character does something stupid or you mumble out something like quotWhat was the point in that?quotbrYES! Eurgh, Im doing that a lot in the book Im reading now.brbr You are more of a jogging bottoms and a hoody type of person than a quotI have to wear makeup and look best MOST of the time.quotbrEh, kind of. I dont own jogging bottoms or hoodies, but I do spend most of my time in comfortable clothes like tshirts and what have you. I dont like to leave the house without makeup because my skin is so atrocious, but thats just me.brbr Your books have many creases on the spinebrHow did you know?! Dbrbr You prefer hardbacks to paperbacks excluding the costbrYes! Hardbacks make me feel smart, not to mention I prefer to hold them.brbr You are in no rush to get published you have a long while yet to get your book out therebrYahuh. I recognise that Ive got a LONG way to go writing wise, and I dont mind spending a lot of time perfecting it.br All your stories in your notepad or word doc that are unfinished, you see them as writing practise and not as failing stories.brHahahah, pretty much. But all of my unfinished stories have been deleted over the years by spiteful siblings. So I never did get to finish them.brbr You seem to do better when writing in rd personbrWell, Im not exactly sure. I dabbled in writing the first chapter of my novel in both to see, but the people I showed it to had really mixed reviews. So... I still dont have a clear answer on which Im better at.brbr You read and write so you can escape mundane lifeproblemsbrYes brbr You love book trailers more than reading what its aboutbrBook trailers? Oh, those things on YouTube? No, I dont really like those. I like to read blurbs though.brbr You are a fast typerbrYep! And a fast texter. Like lightning.brbr You used to be an outdoor person but now you are more of an indoor person so you can write.brYes, but I think that has more to do with where we live now, and also not being a kid anymore. When I was younger and living in a totally awesome neighbourhood in New Zealand I used to spend all day running around getting up to mischief with my brother. We explored all the creeks in the area, and went on bike adventures every weekend. Damn it was awesome. Curse you Australian suburbia! Curse you!

Writers Does your story have these things?

Question

Writers Does your story have these things?
Following on in Joss question vein...

Answer

Religion Check. Its about learning to understand God, while sharing information with God in this religion God is mostly inactive, and would not be prayed to for assistance. The entire goal of the religion is to fully understand the intentions of God, and carry them out. Many sects are still squabbling about whether they have the answers yet or not.brbrLanguage Halfcheck. Its an ongoing project, and wont play much of a role in the completed work. Its not yet big enough to have a whole conversation in. However, it has plenty of interesting stuff, some of which isnt found in any language Ive heard of. Im sure any serious linguist would call it stupid, though.brbrMagic nope. I dont use magic in my stories.brbrRaces Yes, three. Two are more heavily developed, though. They are alien in nature, and the language I mentioned belongs to one of them.brbrSpecies Aside from the sentient ones above, Ive been too lazy to create flora and fauna so far. Theyd be nice, but overall irrelevant to the story.brbr Any closeknit, loving, fully supportive families? Nobr Any children under the age of ? Nobr Any characters with a fanatical obsessionfixation? What is it? Nobr Any characters with diagnosed depressionsocial disorderpersonality disorders? Semi almost everyones a few screws lose from their circumstances, but probably not medically.br Characters who feel as though they belong in gender to the opposite sex? Nobr Characters other than antagonists who have an extremely different world view to you? Yes My characters arent me, and none of them share an overall worldview with me. Two of them view things drastically differently, in regards to human nature, religion, and political views. I wont bore you with details here.br Female characters that require saving i.e. Archetypal damsel in distress? Once, but Im convinced it was justified. Being held captive was a horrible experience of the character from the beginning of the story, and alters the way she behaves the whole time. She is literally strong enough to take care of herself and these were pretty unusual circumstances. Her capture was also relevant to the overall story as well as characterwise.brbrOn a related gender note, one of my races is femaledominated only as much as we are maledominated which is portrayed neutrally. I tried to make gender largely irrelevant to the story.brbr Characters with extremely boring backgrounds that they cannot angst about? Yep. I wont bore you with the details.br Any characters with more than one mindspiritsoulconsciousness? Nobr Characters with extremely bad luck in loverelationships? A bit. One character no longer actively looks for love, but its not quite due to bad luck and doesnt come into the story much.br brDo your mainsemimain characters have any of the following traits br Unnatural haireyeskin color i.e. Pinkbright orangepurpleblue Theyre not Sues. br Changing eyecolor? Theyre not Sues. br Tendency to cry at the slightest thing? Theyre not Sues. br HomicidalViolent impulses? Not except one character towards one particular personbr Extreme cowardice? Nobr Being of a racespecies other than human? Yes, I mentioned nonhumans above.br A really low IQ Nobr Compulsive lying Nobr Gets jealousenvious of others really easily Nobr HaughtinessArrogance Nobr A predisposition towards lazinesscomplacencyindifference Nobr brbrSecond half proudly copypasted!

Would you want to live in a world without suffering?

Question

Would you want to live in a world without suffering?
is suffering necessary to a good life? Im in a philosophy class and I have to write a paper and I want to get other peoples opionions on the subject because I think it is necessary to have suffering and pain in order to apprecitate things. What do you think?

Answer

I would have to agree with you on that. Suffering is a form of pain, and pain is an opposite to a number of alternative feelings as pain, in a sense, is a feeling. Opposites could include pleasure, comfort etc etc.brbrA world without suffering could not exist within the following philosophical writeup As if there is no suffering, life would become quite meaningless or even not existent would it not? If there is no strive toward something, then what would be the point of it? If you want to have that shiny new car and you strive to get it and finally achieve it and own that car, then what is there to do next? You will, eventually, become bored of that car and pursue something more advanced in its respective field. Basically to say that if you already own something, in whatever essence that something is, you will no longer pursue that individual element. As Karl Popper, in Open Society and Its Enemies, states, quot...human suffering makes a direct moral appeal for help, while there is no similar call to increase the happiness of a man who is doing well anyway.quotbrbrSo back to the basic question. If the world had no suffering, then humanity would possibly strive to achieve a higherlevel of nonsuffering or a varying alternative of a similar subject I believe it is part of who we are as a species to pursue greater achievements.brbrThe Chinese philosophy of Ying amp Yang states that any phenomena such that of say, suffering must consist of two opposing, yet at the same time, complementary pieces to form and complete a whole concept. So this is to say that without suffering, there can be no life as then there is no opposing factor that creates this entity into a whole piece. This can be true of many fanatical concepts and theories of life such as badgood, lifedeath, happysad, updown, letright, forwardsbackwards all these concepts have opposing sides to give the other meaning and existence. As if there is only up, and no down, then how could one call up up, and how could the concept of moving upwards be considered anything at all? As if we are only moving up, then moving up would not be considered up at all, it would just be considered moving as that was the only form of moving there was.

Would you say that despite everything he done, Hitler was a nice guy?

Question

Would you say that despite everything he done, Hitler was a nice guy?

Answer

This is such a sensitive topic, considering all the things that happened in the Holocaust,brbut I believe the right way to put it would be with this Anne Frank quotebrquotDespite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.quotbrbrBut even if he does have an ounce of good in his heart, it doesnt erase all the terrible things he has done, brbut at the same time it makes you wonder what happened to him in the past to make him such a corrupted, hateful person.brbrI once read somewhere that he wanted to become an artist as a child, but his father didnt let him. Im just guessing that many bad things must have happened to him as a child to make him such a resentful and powerhungry being, but then again that doesnt really justify any of his actions.brbrI hate him for all hes done,brbut at the same time I feel sorry for him.brbrI dont really think quotnice guyquot is really adjectives that is fit for Hitler, but somewhere deep down he may have goodness in his heart hidden behind his hurt feelings that were twisted into hate or some kind of want.

Would you recommend the twlight series to a boy?

Question

Would you recommend the twlight series to a boy?

Answer

I wouldnt recommend it to anyone. But I especially would not recommend it to a boy. I do not think Edwards abuse is a good example for young boys just starting to show interest in girls. I think that it is a shame that young boys are being essentially blackmailed into reading it by their girlfriends. I have heard of many kids breaking up because they prefer Eddie over their boyfriend. How silly. I have also seen several young boys here who seem to question their own sexuality because they enjoyed it. I must say I gave it to my son and asked him to read a few chapters. He gave it back to me and told me it was ... well I wont repeat the word, but it starts with a G. PaxC

Would you read my book?

Question

Would you read my book?
Im writing a book.

Answer

I think that would actually be a great book to write! As I read through the summary, I was not expecting what would happen at the end. I think its good because it shows people why they shouldnt have abortions you may never have another chance to conceive. I would definitely buy it! The only advice I could give is maybe finishing the book allowing the readers to see if she was able to get Bella back as I dont think you could write a second ENTIRE book based on a court battle... It wouldnt be that long and it would kill the moral of the story.

Question for all atheists or agnostic people...?

Question

Question for all atheists or agnostic people...?
I am curious to know this, as I have never really known a serious atheist or agnostic believer.

Answer

I would like to answer your questions, although, I am not Atheist, or Agnostic. I am Wiccan. I will try to answer on a non biased view point. Question one...If you are refering to quotdoing goodquot as in not causing others pain, and living a basicly happy life..well, if you are a basicly decent human being, you will live by the Ten Commandments that Christians follow. Its not a hard thing to do when you really think about it. You dont have to believe in God..the Christian one or otherwise to you shouldnt kill. The same is, I believe, true for an Agnostic. brQuestion two....I believe that the people who love usparents, children, lovers, friends..etc. are what keep us going when things are bad. I know when I have a bad day, and I think things cant get worse...all I have to do is see my children smile, and hear my fiance tell me that he loves me, and all of the sudden, things arent so bad. I want to live day to day just to hear the innocent laughter of my daughter, or the newest slang my teen son comes home with, or the beautiful bright eyes of my youngest daughter. Before my fiance, and two daughters, it was only my son and me. Everyone would ask me why I didnt let my mother raise him since I had such a hard time putting a roof over his head or food in his tummy. When he would hold on to me, and say quotMomma, I love you!quot, I would just try that much harder...just so I never had to see disappointment in thoes beautiful brown eyes. brQuestion three..I precieve my life as beautiful, fulfilling, busy, passionate, as exciting, as well as hard sometimes. Dont we all? I have EXTREMELY WONDERFUL reasons for living, and none of them require believing in a God, Christian or otherwise. None of my reasons require me to believe in heaven or hell. My reasons are right here with me. My reasons laugh, smile, and say they love me every single day. My reasons, think Im a hero, just because I take care of them. brSo, I am Wiccan, so, sure, I believe in many different Gods and Goddesses. I dont believe that how you live here on earth is going to somehow determine what happens when you die. So long as I am loved, and am able to love, that will be my reason to be a good person, it will be my shelter in the storms. brI hope that gives you something to ponder for the better. Good luck in your search for enlightenment!

Proof there is a God?

Question

Proof there is a God?
For those of you that love to ridicule faith, let me ask you this

Answer

Ugh. Congrats on making one of the most redundant and believe me, thoroughly refuted arguments. A certain amount of faith is required to live and function. One could very well make the argument that we dont know the sun wont explode and kill us all, within an hour. But one, there is plenty of evidence and experience suggesting that it probably wont, and two, if you assume that it will, just because you dont know that it wont, youll most likely destroy your life in the process. Theres a difference between that faith, and the quotbelieve in God just becausequot faith. If your argument holds true, anything I can dream up exists. To insist that one believe in God is no different than insisting that one believe in unicorns or Santa Claus. Do you know they dont exist? No? Then why dont you believe in them? You believe the sun will rise, dont you?brbrOn your next point, then where did God come from? Who created him? Hes just always been there? Why dont you explain why its impossible for all the matter in the universe to have simply existed. The laws of physics only state that we cant create more of it, not that it couldnt have simply always been there.brbrIf there is no God, why do we have a conscience? Well, why do we have any feelings? None of it does anything to support the existence of God. One makes associations between actions and experiencesconsequences. Feel like telling me why its impossible that you simply feel bad because you associate what you did with something negative? Why do some people not seem to have a conscience? Do you think its more likely that they fail to make connections between their actions and consequences, and lack empathy, or that God just forgot to give them one?brbrWhy are the conditions on this planet just right for the kind of life that exists on this planet? Because life developed in response to environment. Life developed to survive on this planet, based on the conditions on this planet. Can you say with certainty that life as we know it is the only form of life that exists? And even if it is, so life occurred on the planet whose conditions were favorable for it. No surprise there. No. No evidence there, either.brbrYou prove nothing. What you have is not proof. Its not even evidence. Dont be foolish enough to believe it is. Like all religious quotevidencequot, its just a complete misunderstanding of everything around you.

Problems with Twilight?

Question

Problems with Twilight?
Please, twilight fans, expalin to me how you can think these things are okay and not insanely weird horrible.

Answer

Jacob falls in love with a newborn baby brIts not so much he falls in love with her as he knows that one day they will fall in love because he doesnt age for the time being they just share a connection that makes them like best friends. It helps explain WHY he was so insane over Bella in the first place. brbrTeenage pregnancy Bella gives birth to the Loch Ness Monster.brI think that normally people would think that an undead human couldnt reproduce, therefore whats the point of protection? BUT in either case, I think it was a very creative way to make a twist in most vampire stories.brbrEdward beats Bella up during sex brHe doesnt beat her up, hes just stronger then her Im pretty sure I know plenty of people whove gotten bruises during sex.brbrEdward gives Bella csection with his teeth.brIf he didnt both Renesmee and Bella would have died.brbrRenesmee beats Bella from the inside.brIm months pregnant, I get beat from the inside, not the extent of anything broken, but Renesmee is technically a hybrid.brbrEdward stalks Bella and listens to her while she sleeps. creepy anyone?brEdward cant help it, hes so protective of her and fascinated by her. Its romantic, and regardless, to the watching her while she sleeps that is a little creepy, but still very sweet, I dont know if youve seen anyone sleep its boring.brbrBella hears Edwards voice in her head and this is never really explained well. inasne?brI dont think its insane, its more then likely her subconscious from what she remembered of him, or there connection to one another, being soul mates. I have a friend who has a connection like that to a person threw her dreams.brbrJacobs friend falls in love with a year old. still pedophilia!brThis is the same question as the first one, therefore its my same answer.brbrOver yearold dead sperm somehow impregnates Bella. Does Stephenie Meyer understand how sex works?brSperm dont have hearts. They are not alive therefore its technically possible on some level. brbrBella tells her father the same things her mother told him when her mother left. unnecessary and evil!brShes , frightened year olds will say anything that it takes. br
