I wish I would not have to make that choice but, in the end, if we scrap all our cultural and intellectual patrimony and what remains of the humanity is the fact we breathe, eat, shit and breed, what's the point to the existence?

That's an interesting argument.  It argus, of course, that people like the anecdotal "wolf boy" are not people, since they didn't grow up with your patrimony.

The alternative view is that culture and whatnot add something to the spice of life, but that life is about living, not about comparing ourselves to the past, or being entertained or inspired by the stories of others.

Neither is obviously right.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

There are plenty people now who value property more then human life.

I'm not gonna build it in the ME, silly.

The ME will come to Sweden. It's already started.

Like I said, I'm not gonna build it in the ME. Sweden sucks ass and is selfdestructing.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

They just might.

I don't know what it officially means these groups joining with ISIS.  They were pretty bad, they had the same ideology, they were already cooperating.  Maybe they'll get an influx of money & small weapons.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Be careful!  If you give Mongers any trouble, he will start fantasizing out loud about outliving you and celebrating your death.  If you are an emo, that might bother you.

Of course, if you aren't emo, you'll LOL.

Touching that I'm so often in your thoughts, you should mention it next time you see your stalking therapist.
