So much, that I'm not willing to give it up.
(ergo, I'm gonna be a teacher)
Because this is my last year to ever be a student.
And stuff like school uniforms, classmates, whiteboards, teachers, morning
assemblies, canteen, sports, co-curricular activities and other
stuff...
Well...I'm never going to experience that again.
It's kinda sad because they say in school, you still can trust a lot of people
and have a lot of friends because you're not tied to many things such as a job,
income tax, and other adult stuff.
I hope that's not true.
But still, cherish your school life. Because when it's over, it's really over.
No turning back, no retakes. Nothing. You move on with life.
Though the system of education in malaysia is bad. Too result oriented and
stuff.
Even so, I've met a lot of people who are different. Being 19 (I'm studying in
form 6...it's a pre-u kinda thing), I'm stuck in between being a teenager, a
carefree student and as a responsible adult. And most of the time, I'd rather be
a student. You're just not tied to social norms as much as adults are.

lol. tho some find it as self-adulation. 'oooh, she's good because she wants to,
smart-alec'...etc but then again. sometimes we just cant accept things that
differ from our own opinions eh? (like me being agnostic because...) >w<
Im agnostic. Though i was raised a taoist, and officially a buddhist.
to me, everyone has a right to believe and not to believe and to stand in the
middle. though most say agnostics are 'spineless' for not standing for a cause.
(but i consider not standing for one of the options given a cause)
God might and might not exist. and everyone is entitled to their own opinion,
but not entitled to the right for shoving it in other ppl's throats
And even though I've been fed a lot of buddhism teachings, i still don't
fascinate myself with it. too many people i know use karma and merits as an
excuse to do good. i do good because i want to, not because of divine
retribution. though it is an effective way to make sure people watch their step.
=/
all in all. religion might be a good thing. just not my thing.
100hours. laws of 3. 3 minutes w/o air, 3 days w/o water and 3weeks w/o food. 3
months eh...maybe, depends on the kind of fasting. abstaining from food and
drink or from food only. if with drink, no, if with food only yesh.
for a million dollars, would you move to a country you don't like permenantly?
saying sorry means admitting that you are wrong. in some situations, people
often find it hard to accept that they made a mistake. sometimes it's because
they feel strongly for it, other times it's because they can't understand why is
it known to others as a 'mistake'.
to me, it takes a lot to admit their mistakes. too much pride, or too much
cowardice? that i really cannot differentiate. sometimes apologizing seems like
opening yourself up, risking the chance of having people taking a stab at you
for making mistakes. (some people might find sincere apologies as a ruse, or a
sign of weakness, thus causing them to 'take advantage of the
situation')
and btw. you shouldnt be proud because you don't make mistakes, because people
cant improve that way. you should be proud that you're aware of your own
mistakes, and are not afraid to admit it. ^^
peace is something that is the opposite of conflict.
because none can exist without the other.
so, there's conflict in self, conflict within family, conflict within friends,
society, country and the world. so there's peace of that kind also?
i think too much of other people. about their family, the people they know,
their friends etc. a person will always be precious to someone else and the pain
of losing them, blah blah blah.
but then again. I can just kill the people who know the person i killed, and the
other people who know the people i killed. and the whole thing will never
end.
currently using: MSN Messenger 8.1, or more precisely, i'm really using
messenger plus.
No problems yet, but only thing bugging me is when i open received music or
video files, the 'security' programme will delete it if i open it through the
chat window (i'm not sure about other versions since it's been 3 years since my
last msn old version chat.)
people have the tendency to think that questioning is attacking...but i guess
it's normal. because people are comfortable with their own views (me wif mine,
you with yours)
i don't see any extreme atheists here... (unless if you think it's me. I'm no
extreme atheist, but i'm no theist either.
we humans don't understand the intention of the other species either...heck, we
don't even understand the intentions of each other. that's why we're having
stuff like war, forum wars, arguments and so on. and people who kill out of
fear.
but we're all human...right?
DarkRoseofHell, how about i blame u instead?

Quote by AceAzzemenLet me put it this
way, typed something like this so many times I should cut and paste it
but....
This arguement has never ended, never progressed
Deeds of "man of God' does not matter, it is still a deed of man, not
God.
Forums, if anything i felt just recently, have very little meaning seeing that
the actual arguements between the extreme atheists and christians are much much
deeper than anything we write here, plus its mostly opinions and conjured
thoughts with very little research and backings.
so I'll type short slip conclusions that you can try to reserch yourself
these questions will be based on the ORIGINAL PERSONS 1st POST nonelse, since
it'll be a long debate between two sides that I want to avoid
Kindness does not mean good
Suffering does not mean bad
Satan is not pure evil or rather bad. Nothing is pure evil, this is a bad
generalisation and assumption many make. It was never stated at all in the
Bible
There is no polar opposite of God.
If there is, Satan have to be stupid, unable to do anything etc.
Satan doesn't think evil is righteous, it was never stated. He just wanted to
take the position of God.
Satan wasn't created evil. Like Adam and eve, he had a choice. (this is actually
when "freedom" lead to our downfall)
God can use what was intended for evil for good.
If you wonder what was God thinking, don't. It was stated that our ways aren't
his ways and that we'll never comprehend completely what he is doing. thats like
comparing a animal(lets say a sheep) to a man. The sheep will never fully
comprehend what the man was doing.
Anymore points to make? I hope not, I'm leaving this thread even though this is
the 1st post in here, I expect it to reach a standstill, or a bias conclusion
that can be broken when a expert on this topic against the conclusion comes
in.

addtions I forgot just before I closed the window:
God didn't come to save the ones who's souls been saved but those
unsaved
Please stop typing about history of deeds of man, its getting away from the
original question, at this rate this will be an incredibly general forum on a
heated debate that will come to no proper end.
Ah. zis iz ze first time i actually bother quoting someone.
We're not extremists, you know. if we were. I don't think we'd be browsing
through places where people would be wrong about things (though i don't think
they're wrong. lol. except if they go overboard)
And just because we can't comprehend what the sheep is thinking, it doesn't mean
the sheep can't comprehend what we are thinking (how can you be sure they're not
eh?)
though this forum seriously went off topic AGAIN.
i'm wondering who reeled us off. it wasn't me now, is it?!
Generalization, of course. Happens. This is what happens when there is something
called globalisation. I mean, I don't know the Christians you know. But in general, people(not only Christians) don't
do thing like killing.
I'm not blaming anyone for having their religion as 'something'. There are other
religion spats, as i have said before. But currently, we're talking about one,
isn't it? Wait, let's just stop on this. It's a sensitive issue, you know. And
later, some might bring up on other religions, and the whole thing that happened
in another thread will happen here.
No, not translated. As a matter of fact, four major bookstores in Malaysia has
cut the sales of harry potter as a protest against some shops selling those
books for a really, really low price
if you meant by us not being to remain sane if we protected everyone's feelings,
it's because you keep thinking about how other people feel (not how other people
think) and you will feel guilty over the things you've done, the hurt they
suffer because of you and all that kind of things that seriously messes up your
mind.
You'd probably never end up happy if you try to protect everyone else's feelings
I don't believe that there is an almighty God. But i'm not claiming that there
is no possibility of there being one. I don't hold strong views on my own belief
because there are a lot of possibilities that cannot be proven.
And there is also a possibility of atheist believing that there is no God for
self-comfort also.
My point is, one shouldn't be too critical over things as unsure and unproven as
religion, because it is very hard to prove the existence or non-existence, and
it's also somewhat of a sensitive issue. Of course, one may find it strange to
find something so ambiguous as a sensitive issue, but to religious people, it is
a sensitive issue. To extremists, they'll probably kill you for it.
And about Crusaders and priests who do heinous things, I don't think those can
even be called people. I don't think Christians are proud of them either.
There's always imperfection in all things, you know. If you really feel like
incriminating, maybe one should go ask oneself (myself...mostly) "Am I
really that good?"
Oh yeah, and I was referring to Kingray as a comparison, not Crusaders. But one
can question a lot about other religions you know. Like in thailand, or
indonesia or actually, anywhere. There are lots of racial spats which often
result in horrible, horrible deaths and crime. It's not religion, it's humans
and war. War turns human beings into monsters.
lol.
It's alright actually. I means, not many people can actually empathies with
others. I mean, maybe you can think of it this way: "What if someone else
does this to me? Will I like that?"
But seriously, if no one offended someone in any way, we won't be able to remain
sane. (this is a digression. Just for extra reading? Lol)
Quote: you never proved how your
not hypocrical as well.is it because you know its
true?
Why should I need to prove it to you? You however, seek approval so badly that
you're ruining your reputation and the reputation of Christians. Come on,
Christians are not mean. They're nice people who don't give such incriminating
comments. They are open minded.
Oh yeah. If I need to prove it to you that I'm not hypocritical, why can't
atheists demand proof on the existence of God?
Come on, there is no evidence that God exists, but there is also no evidence
that God does NOT exists. We atheists are just keeping our possibilities open,
without joining any religion.
school...
I'm on my last year of school.
And I realized that I like going to school a lot.
So much, that I'm not willing to give it up.
(ergo, I'm gonna be a teacher)
Because this is my last year to ever be a student.
And stuff like school uniforms, classmates, whiteboards, teachers, morning assemblies, canteen, sports, co-curricular activities and other stuff...
Well...I'm never going to experience that again.

[this is just my opinion

1. Studying for my final exams.
2. completing my homework
3. understand mathematics.
The third will be hard to fulfil...

i really like gothic lolita. It's just the fact that white hair does not suit south-east Asians.
TENJYU UDON~~!
yes if I'm about to be killed instead.
i think too much of other people. about their family, the people they know, their friends etc. a person will always be precious to someone else and the pain of losing them, blah blah blah.
but then again. I can just kill the people who know the person i killed, and the other people who know the people i killed. and the whole thing will never end.
the end?

Agreed.
So basically it's not what religion we are in, but what we do.
if you meant by us not being to remain sane if we protected everyone's feelings, it's because you keep thinking about how other people feel (not how other people think) and you will feel guilty over the things you've done, the hurt they suffer because of you and all that kind of things that seriously messes up your mind.
