Why is there gravity?
So we don't float away into space.

What would it be like if gravity was reversed, no gravity around planets but space had gravity holding the planets in place?

we would all bounce around like pinballs...

How would you describe 'blue' to a person who never had sight?
Active Ink Slinger
The color of cold & sadness.

Why is there no Procrastinator's Anonymous?
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.
Active Ink Slinger
No. I'm glad it's not fair or I wouldn't be married to my wife. She's much better than I deserved.

Is there any hope for humanity?

Why are we more fascinated by outer space than our own planet????
Active Ink Slinger
Warren Ellis, an author well known for his writing which covers transhumanist themes said, “The single simplest reason why human space flight is necessary is this, stated as plainly as possible: keeping all your breeding pairs in one place is a retarded way to run a species.”


Why do we always seemed to be making the same historical errors, didn't anyone in charge pay attention in history?

I'll quote Nick Abbot, my favourite radio talk show host: "The only thing the we ever learn from history is that we never learn anything from history".

Since we're getting kinda deep here, I'll ask this: Do you believe in past lives, or future lives?
Ghosts, flamingos, guitars and vodka. Eclectic subjects, eccentric stories:

Humorous guide & Recommended Read =^.^= How To Make a Cup of Tea
A flash fiction series :) A Random Moment in Time
Editors' Pick! :D I Am The Deep, Dark Woods
And another EP!: The Fragility of Age
=^.^=
Yes! They are what keeps us connected in time and space!

Do you believe true love lasts longer then life?
Lurker
Of course! But I don't believe in soul-mates themselves. What if mine is in Germany he and dies young? I die alone? I believe in 'souls in sync'. Which is probably why some women can't choose between two in some situation. Or men in the same predicament.

Do you believe everything works out n the end?
Active Ink Slinger
Yes, but not necessarily the way you want it to.


If you had to be on a liquid diet, what beverage would you most like to drink?
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.
Lurker
fruit smoothie... is that a drink...probably

If you had only a few hours to live, how would you spend it ?
I would spend it fighting enemies, surrounded on all sides. Back to back with a guy (idk who) and face death in the face till it is just me and the main boss left standing. The guy gets up and tries to take out the boss but in my final act of valence, I throw myself on the blade and save him as he takes out the evil villian.

Was that a little extreme?
Active Ink Slinger
No, not for an obvious hero like you.


What is too extreme?
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.
Lurker
Cannibals. *shivers*

Could you ever kill someone with clear conscious. (btw I could under special circumstances.)
No. I couldn't. Unless he was gonna kill me. Then I could.

Same
Lurker
It's not suicide, it's homicide. That's my view.

Can you play and instrument? (if so, what?)
Lurker
Yes I can I play the violin. My favorite music to play with it is Ave Maria.

Are we free?
Yes and no. Freedom is one of those paradoxes that is an illusion and yet also reality. The reason why we are not free is that we allow outside forces control us, but once we realize the the reason it is controlling us is because we are letting is then we would be truely free. Easier said then done.

Know any great paradoxes?
Active Ink Slinger
The classic example of a self reference paradox (known as the barber paradox) : A male barber will only shave those men who do not shave themselves. Will he shave himself?


When is enough to much?
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.
When enough wasn't what you wanted in the first place.

How do you find a way out of the darkness?
Active Ink Slinger
Let wisdom, truth and faith light your way.


What is the most important trait of a true friend?
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.
Standing by your side, no matter what happens.

Is it sad when your best friend would trade you for a slice of cake with a scoop of ice cream...?
Lurker
yes it is...there could at least be four scoops.

Is it right for someone to go back on there word?
Active Ink Slinger
no.

Ever worry about someone so much they show up in your dream and then you want to contact them, but you know they don't want to talk to you?

As always, kindness is free, so please consider that when replying to someone rather than the alternatives. You never know what's going on in their life that you may not see. Love, Light & Blessed Be, friends.

Yes, I once had a fling with this guy, and apparently I said the wring thing and insulted him. In my dream I just kept apologizing that when I woke, I emailed him right away. He didn't reply for a few days. -_-

Don't you hate it when you would say hi to someone but they don't hear you?
