  4. Re:Wishing... on Roundest Object In the World Created · · Score: 1

    For those of you who haven't had the experience...

    Imagine soft skin, such as probably exists on the bottom of your lower arms, but hairless. This is the base texture. The underlying texture depends on a property breasts have, Firmness.

    If the Firmness is high then the underlying "hardness", (i.e.: a tightened muscle feels harder than a relaxed muscle) is different. Please note that a person's muscle feels different than a breast, and I am only describing the property of Firmness.

    In addition to the overlying texture and Firmness, there is another property, Weight. Weight is closely related to the fourth property I will discuss, Bounce. While Weight and Bounce are closely related to Appearance, a discussion of Appearance would be beyond the scope of this document. In any case, I assume that anyone reading this will be very familiar with the Appearance of the female breast. Weight is the property of objects you are already familiar with, the tendancy to be attracted to the earth.
    Bounce is the degree to which a breast will move freely about as it is manipulated. If a breast is tightly bound to the owner's body, it will have less bounce. More weight causes more bounce. Obviously, larger breasts weigh more.

    Imagine an object whose shape is such as you are familiar with from Appearance, whose Bounce is purportional to its Size and a second variable, degree of attachment. This object has an underlying, variable, firmness and an overlying soft texture. That is what a breast feels like.

    Further research into this area is, in the author's opinion, important. To fund further research, please reply to the Author's journal.

    Responsible? Giving the Authorities control of any kind over my vehicle is not responsible. Allowing the feds to watch where I go is not being responsible. If Onstar were taking responsibility, they would tell the feds where to put their court orders or better yet never have installed that capability in the first place.

    Bullshit.

    Aging has always happened. (we're not talking about immortality here, so I'll ignore the part about dying) It's "natural", right? Lets find something else thats always happened. It must be essential too, right? Lets say.. murder. Animals have been murdering each other for many millions of years. Its an important part of how evolution happens: The weak are weeded out, etc. Sometimes people just NEED to die. An essential part of life, right? No? You don't like that example? Lets pick another one. Cancer. Cancer is what happens when certain parts of your body don't function correctly. It kills many people who have been exposed to the wrong chemical, the wrong disease, or radiation, or are just unlucky, but thats okay, right? Sometimes people just NEED to die. No? You don't like that one either, eh?

    So tell me you murderous bastard, just what do you think is so special about aging that makes it the one acceptable cause of death!? Do you advocate serial killings too? Do you think it would be great if AIDS were doing just a little better in Africa? When my father dies, will it be okay if he was really old? How about your own parents? Sometimes people just NEED to die, get over it, right? RIGHT? Go kill your brother, then come back and say that death is an essential part of life. And if you moderated the parent post insightful, shoot yourself in the balls. Evolution must go on.

    The only hope is a selfish one: already be one of the wealthy when the rules change.

    The rules have already changed. Warren Buffet has the wherewithall to move a team of doctors to a third world country and have them clone every organ in his body except his brain, skin, and bones, several times over. When he ages, he can have those replaced.

    Bones can be replaced with titanium. Now. Today. Without new research. Organ cloning is real. Now. Today. Without new research. That is why my goal is to get as rich as possible before I get old: The rich will live much longer, as long as they are willing to have major surgery done.

    That quasi-utopian future, where people get disruptive and painful life extension treatments, they say it will never happen. While the aging get heart bypass surgery. And organ transplant surgery. And tummy tucks. And breast implants. And new teeth. And hair implants. None of those rediculous pills we read about in science fiction novels. Like reversatol, estrogen, omega-3, lipitor, or other such treatments.

    Friends, open your eyes: The future has arrived!

    Build enough nuclear power plants and you'll be able to extract many times the energy required to simply put the waste into the sun. Not to mention that modern designs simply won't melt down, blow up, or do any of the other stuff people are afraid of.

    A die-off? Are you fucking serious? Lack of food is caused by sociological problems. Environmental damage is being caused mostly by sociological problems, and partly because of moronic environmentalists saying OMFG its Nuclear! and stopping nuclear reactors from being built. Wars are caused by sociological problems.

    Given enough energy, enough clean water can be made to make the deserts bloom. Given enough energy, carbon dioxide can be sequestered in many different ways.

    What the world needs to do is kill a few war lords, put a large force in place to stop more from popping up, and build 500 nuclear power plants. Did you know that coal power kills many more people just from the uranium it puts into the air than nuclear power possibly could?

    Time is money, and poor people don't have enough time.

    Rich person: pay higher rent to live closer to work, car, faster toll roads, paid parking near workplace, dishwasher, clothes washing machine, clothes drying machine or drycleaners, eat at a restraunt when you can't cook, buy new stuff if it breaks, use a babysitter.

    poor person: Walk to work or drive crappy car on slower roads, spend time fixing crappy car, wash dishes by hand, hang up clothes to dry, do extra chores for lower rent, try to fix your stuff if it breaks, hunt for bargains, no babysitter, no restraunts. The richer people eat healthy because they can afford time to cook.

    No, rape is no thought crime. Practicing pedophelia is no thought crime. In my opinion, both of those actions should be severely punished. Taking, having, sending, or selling pictures of those real crimes, however, is a thought crime.
