I should mention that when he made the threats I did not react meekly. I gave him a verbal bneating that I don't think he'll soon forget.WHAT?!?!? Not only should you not feel guilty, but you should call the police on this loser for making threats! Jesus Christ why would you put up with this?
Thank God. Thats a little good news. Sounds like you dealt with it right sin! Way to go!I should mention that when he made the threats I did not react meekly. I gave him a verbal bneating that I don't think he'll soon forget.
Then I went to the police station and filed for a peace bond.
I should also mention that I found out at this time that I wasn't the only that had been in that day about him. I'm given to understand that he is now chilling at a local mental hospital.
No kidding. Who the hell are these people?What the fuck people?

That's a very humanocentric point of view... that the only purpose for the universe to exist is to give humans a playground?Or you can take that frown and turn it upside down.
There you go. In one sentence Carl Sagan undermines everything you just said. The reality is that in this massive, massive universe, the only thing we have to make the emptiness at all bearable is each other. The thing is you do matter. Everyone matters. For all intents and purpose, WE - humanity- are what gives the universe its sentience and possibly some purpose to the enormous void.
What's really ridiculous is that you ascribe "value" to good and evil, and furthermore give more of it to one than the other.What the shit was this crap?
Good behavior and bad behavior matter to both the people who experience them and the people who perform them. The immensity of the universe is irrelevant. You've gone off on ridiculous tangents before but that one well, "isn't that special?"
Likelihood of any given apocalypse aside, take away the comforting structure of society or civilization and it's no great leap to imagine the survival instinct driving previously "good" people to willfully do ghastly things to continue to live.When I was a kid, my dad used to go on when I was working with him in his shop about how all those apocalypse stories were pretty realistic, and how "good" people would be killing each other left and right to get their own if anything like that ever happened. Probably explains my cheery disposition.
I'm not even trying to get into politics in this thread.. I'm just talking about basic human nature.You know, I don't normally go in for apocalyptic, build the fallout shelter kind of stuff, but I gotta be honest, when Gas mentions the actual, very real state of our economy, with the amount of debt/spending/etc I can't help but agree to an extent. I think there are a LOT of people with their heads in the sand who are just pretending like we aren't on a collision course with some very serious consequences to our actions as a country. I don't know that it will be end of the world stuff, probably not, but I do know that common sense says things aren't always going to be sunshine, roses and a sweet 14 trillion dollar debt.
Man, I used to think canadians were laid back and friendly.What the fuck people?
Sorry man. Wish there was something we could do to help other than say hang in there.I am having a fucking awful week. Everything is against me. I am so goddamned frustrated.
Apparently it's hitting steering wheels too.Oh shit, folks. The crazy is hittin' the fan today.
Ahahaha!Apparently it's hitting steering wheels too.
Apparently, 25 years ago the entire area of my family's property was consumed in ant hills. When they were digging it up to put in the foundation, they literally had to evacuate the area because a swarm of ants came out of the ground and started biting people for collapsing their tunnels. The crew came back a few days later and finished the job but we've had ant problems ever since. We've had to resort to bug bombs more than once.Geez, Ash, that does suck.
