    "Pursuit of happiness"?

    Sure, but the streaming backups do make me immortal. Until you find my "home", that is.

    Maybe life is one big video game with a confusing intro and no manual.

    Yep! "Believe it or not, I'm walking on air, I never though I could feel so free-ee-ee, flying away, on a wing and a prayer, whoooo-ooo could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me" (from childhood memory, may not be completely accurate) That show set the stage for a lot of events in my life. :)

    When I was a kid my friend's dad had bullets in the garage. I shit you not, we would go up to the loft, look out over at the concrete floor below, and drop them and watch to see if they would explode. Yes, we weren't even smart enough to pull our heads back! We also went outdoors and threw them at rocks, hoping for an explosion. They exploded perhaps 10% of the time. Fortunately nobody was hurt. This might have only happened on one particular day, but it's a huge part of my childhood memories. And, as a result, I make sure family and friends who own guns keep the ammunition as safe as the firearms.

    You can make weapons out of your fingers. These fucking teachers going to take kids' hands away? I know Tae Kwon Do, does that mean I can no longer attend school? What do I need to tell the TSA agents about my skills, as well?

    Yeah I tagged it "trident" because why not ban that symbol of eternal evil as well?

    Yeah, sure, who decides when the madness stops? A few decades from now, huh? I doubt the madness will stop; you're just coddling the mad.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Sorry, but this is war - and if you're going to to retarded things - like driving *into* a US vs. insurgents firefight

    Yes, war gives tyrants a reason. Not that they needed it.

    The government has no right to keep secrets.

    Yeah it's a simple typo (one key away), but drastically changes the meaning... Did you really mean "drove out", or was it supposed to be "drove our"?

    you're a goddamned genius

    Thanks for that.

    Truer that you know, also: my left eye cannot see from birth, the optic nerve was never completed (i.e., didn't lose it later in life). I like to think that the neurons that would have gone towards serving that eye's input, got re-purposed in the womb to help make me more intelligent.

    I'm an outlier in the family, so evidence is on my side. :)

    Agreed with the depth information: I infer it from "blocking", as in, "the table is blocking part of the chair, so the chair is behind the table." Driving is mostly one dimensional, anyway -- mostly, you just go left or right. You're almost never choosing between forward and backwards, and the vehicle can't go up or down (yet). So, with one eye I am not much at all at a disadvantage -- and, after a night out, I'm at a considerable advantage (as previously mentioned, they won't see me swerving so won't choose to check me out -- now, I won't say what type of car I drive here. :) )

    I can't see out of one eye. I always look at people funny. You wanna sentence me to jail when accused, for that??? (People always look over their left shoulder, at "what I'm looking at"; my left eye goes toward the middle, and leads them to think that. What else might this lead them to think, in a courtroom???)
