Finished my RP, but I'm not too sure if I should post it just yet. There is still a good five days left, I think. you could give it a few re reads before you post but just watch yourself that.

Sooo your saying that I havent, and or possibly am not? I have a friend who gets paid for writing opinion philosophy articles for a school paper....so in a sense you still are not making any. so should the world not have people who think or reflect on life or life itself then? I'm saying the world cares about people who can actually do things. Thinking for a living is a luxury and your friend's job at a school paper isn't really a real job. Let's be honest here, you've got to eat to live. You won't find any "Philosophers wanted" job listings anywhere. No but you can always find an open ear, some change, rides and a place to stay because people do care about these things...they just dont want to feel like their paying for it....by a gesture of kindness they get a sense of satisfaction and some wisdom.... everything is derived from philosophy...lol

Really, are you serious? Try finding someone in the real world who will pay you to philosophize. I don't think the purpose of a philosopher was to get paid, not in the way americans think they need money.....

Well at least you grasp that it is a pointless discussion....but I feel the need to argue for the philosophical if it seems it is being brought into the mix....especially when a man states "cold hard facts" to me about something so infinite in nature..... Philosophy is bullcrap. What matters is actually being able to make stuff happen or define why stuff happens. Really, are you serious?

The value of life is a philosophical debate based on what we perceive "life" to be. If you believe that impacting others is important and I believe eating myself to death on donuts is important, then we have completely different ideas on who are the "important" people. It's all a mater of personal opinion and value of life is something that varies from person to person. Especially when you consider POTENTIAL of a person. Is an infant's life "worth more" than a 40 year old successful person's life? This opens up yet another debate. In the end, it's a pointless discussion, if you ask me. Well at least you grasp that it is a pointless discussion....but I feel the need to argue for the philosophical if it seems it is being brought into the mix....especially when a man states "cold hard facts" to me about something so infinite in nature.....

It absolutely does. Who has more of a right to live - me or Obama? Easy. Obama does. He justifies the fact that he's sucking air easier than I do because he has a greater worth to humanity as a whole than I do. Sadly, humanity would not miss me if I stopped breathing an hour from now. Obama's death would seriously impact this country in a lot of ways. It might influence everything from foreign to domestic policy. So were going to disregard your potential and the homeless mans completely and just go ahead and make the decision that your less important then obama and more important than a homeless guy. I was homeless once....so you must still be more important than me because you never stated the reach the the event...lets not even bother to look at age or potential..... Really...you really believe this stuff?

Media Coverage does not count as worth...if that was the case Paris Hilton would be more important then Obama to people. Worth has nothing to do with media when it comes to a life. Worth had everything to do with impact on people's lives. How many lives are impacted if Obama dies vs me vs a homeless guy. So that makes Obama worth more as a man compared to the homeless man?

HAHAHAHAHA!.....wow that was just pure insanity to me Imagine I get shot in the head while I'm out running. Now imagine Obama gets shot in the head while he's out running. Both of us are now dead. Which one of us attracts mourners from around the world and wall-to-wall news coverage? Which of us is more important? Now imagine a homeless bum gets killed as well. Of the three of us, he's going to get the least news coverage. He likely won't even get a single word. Why is that if it's not because my life is more important than his and Obama's is more important than mine. Media Coverage does not count as worth...if that was the case Paris Hilton would be more important then Obama to people. Worth has nothing to do with media when it comes to a life.

Then respond to my other post responding to the post you are thanking. What do you determine as a level of support? Don't give me some dictionary definition. Tell me what YOU believe an appropriate level of support is. There are actual legal definitions on what an appropriate level of support is. Differs from state to state and municipality to municipality. Also, some lives are worth more than others. That's just the cold hard facts.HAHAHAHAHA!.....wow that was just pure insanity to me

Thank you. Slappy, what you dont realize is that this actually shows we care MORE. We dont want these children to come into this world with parents who cant support them. Then respond to my other post responding to the post you are thanking. What do you determine as a level of support? Don't give me some dictionary definition. Tell me what YOU believe an appropriate level of support is. For everyone watching...this is a rhetorical question only meant to further the insight into the fact that no man truly has right to impede such a thing. I hope no one great today was ever poor, or none of our next great world minds are poor when they are conceived... A person is the sum of their lives, assuming that a life is worth more then another is just sickening....the fact that he is even giving you a rhetorical question is a gesture of kindness. But to each their own( I suppose)

Kickin’ it OLDschool
How to Wrestle: The Beginners Guide Audio(CD) Narrator/Instructor: Jason Jadoa (Former WFWF Champion & Hall of Famer)
Track 1: The Basics
“Welcome to How to Wrestle, if your listening to this tape then you must truly want to make something of a yourself. So lets begin, the first step is knowing your opponent, what are his strengths. At this point you have to comprehend what exactly stepping into the ring means to the man(or woman) standing across from you. Once you have seen through your opponents eyes, then you can strategize and begin to point out such flaws in their approach. Lets give a few examples for those of us who need them to help realize what I am telling them is truth.”
“Example 1: Johnny wants to be a wrestler when he grows up, wants to be big and strong just like some of the greats. What Johnny doesn’t know yet is what it takes to make a great wrestler. Johnny has studied many texts but fails to realize that all the text books would not teach him what he needed to step into that ring. He had not faired well recently and his detriment to the federation was becoming a noticeable eye sore. He would be squared off against a veteran.”
“Alright so now we have our example situation, Johnny has studied up well but has done no studying of his opponent. It also seems as though Johnny may have some arrogance as well which can blind even the best wrestlers. So we have taken a look at the basics and an example of someone who maybe needs to read a bit more into it. Maybe Johnny can overcome his self but when a wrestler makes a committed stance, they almost never slip from it. It is a sad but true face which brings us to our next step. Versatility."
Track 2: Versatility
“In our last lesson we looked at how you set up for a match and took a look a Johnny as our example of what can happen if you don’t heed even the basics. This lesson is on Versatility, which is the ability to keep your opponent only guessing at what your capabilities as a wrestler really are. A lot of people new to the sport can get caught up in their own hype and not see what is coming. A true wrestler knows that the best offense is one that varies, same with defense. If your opponent doesn’t have a clue what is coming then there is no preparation and nothing to be used against. Again, we will us Johnny again as an example of how a new wrestler can get into such a bad habit.”
“Example 2: Johnny has had poor prep for his match and to top it off he has been way to consistent. His wrestling style has not varied, he was wanting to define a unique idea of wrestling. What Johnny didn’t realize is that his opponent is still a veteran and knows a bit more then he does. Johnny’s “unique” style became his heel and he was predictable. This could cost poor Johnny the match, when a bit more study and time and maybe he would have seen his opponents heel or knew to change it up.”
“So we see, yet again, where some proper study and such could have swung the match in Johnny’s favor. Sometimes when were new we only see ourselves and look less at others. If you never read, you will never further your capacity to understand more difficult texts. But if we take our time and give ourselves and others a serious look over, what we can find out and see is the single and most helpful. Your Opponent is only another man in the ring with you, what you know and what he knows is the only thing that is not chance in the match up. Now that brings me to my final point. Knowing.”
Track 3: Knowing
“Now that we have looked into our opponents head and played with our move set a bit, now we need to take a cold hard look at the facts. The truth is some matches we weren’t meant to win and some meant to lose and others may actually end up being something of a challenge. Though challenges can be found, for the most part we know our place. Acceptance of our place can be the difference between a loss and an injury depending on how we play it out. Lets go back to Johnny for one more look at how acceptance could pose a threat or be your best friend.”
“Example 3: Johnny has not only now came to the ring unprepared, and with a predictable move set but he has also came to the ring with and attitude. Johnny doesn’t seem to realized that his opponent, who is a veteran, knows what Johnny is thinking and plans to abuse this for his pleasure. Johnny’s only problem is that he thinks that he stands a chance despite him still being a novice. So instead of putting on a good show, Johnny attempts to go for the throat, what he finds is a Veteran, who was always prepared.”
“So now we see knowing our place can be a big thing. New wrestlers would do well to let the big boys wrestle until they are ready. But when fate deals you that hand, try to learn and enjoy the experience but remember that the veteran plans on winning no matter what you might thing you have up your sleeve. He has been around longer and knows more and before the match ends, he will win. But as long as you accept your fate and just have fun with it, you will grow and one day you will hold his place.”
“For a final thought, remember that being a wrestler is more then just some game, it’s a competition. It needs to be taken seriously and study should always be done. Well thank you all for listening and I hope you can take what you have learned here and become greats yourselves.”
“Oh and for a special listener, Johnny, please heed my words.”

That could go for the poor here in this country. We should set a limit, you can't have kids unless you make more than, let's say, $500,000 a year. I'm still waiting for a valid point. A quippy one-liner isn't a rebuttal. Either bring an actual counter-argument or stop quoting me, because at this point you're just trolling. I have a point for you. One big one is judging others who you dont clearly understand customs and cultures and assume because they are different then they must be wrong and must learn to stop procreating as every living thing does. I hope your maidenhood is still intact or your hypocrisy will bind you instantly. Or better yet the idea of anyone thing that technology is an answer to any question is funny just in the general sense. Each piece we design is either wasted or turned into a weapon. But otherwise, your point seems solid ;D

I think there sarcasm in there somewhere...but with you...I'm always 50/50 on whats actually going through your head when you write things..... alternatively, though it doesn't fit the EBR Appreciation Show Card theme nearly as well; Yea.....I'm not going to listen to either of those videos. Its not because I don't care....no wait, yea this time its just because I don't care

Im sorry but I would iniciate a plan to settle down the growth there. Call me a heartless bastard, but something needs to be done about these poor countries. If they stop having babies, there will be more food. Reading this solidifies the fact that I will send condoms to those countries before I ever think of sending food. Half of every male babies born in those countries should be castrated. No need to kill anyone, but take away their ability to reproduce. Extreme times call for "extreme" measures. Poor countries like that are contributing nothing to the world besides a wider spread of aids, and more babies. You would think over the last 50-60 years they would learn, but they're still primitive. I'm not putting the blame on them for not being up to date, but we need to show them that this isnt their world to up and that the technological world is more important. The fact that I think you really believe what your saying is by far the greatest thing I have read in awhile.....thank you for that
