How real is karma?

Karma is extremely real. When Hitler's army invaded Russia, Hitler was in for a real surprise... The Nazis suffered many defeats at Leningrad and Stalingrad. Obviously, I do not support communism. But communism is better than Nazism. At least communism is not racist. After the Soviets pushed the Nazis westwards and after the US army intervened, old school Nazism started to collapse. Karma made sure that Hitler was down for the count.


and, for fun, What is the answer to this question?

What question? I have an average IQ, so can you please clarify your question? Was that a rhetorical question? lol But anyways, moving on...

Why does it feel soooooooooo good to pee?

Human beings have to release their wastes. Here are some interest facts: Human beings can survive for three minutes without air. They can survive for three days without water. They can survive for three weeks without food. Water cleans the body. The more sugar, salt, or caffeine you consume, the more water you must drink. Water dilutes all of these substances. Sweating is an efficient way to eliminate waste, but on some occasions, even sweating won't do the trick. Generally pissing eliminates a large quantity of wastes. There you go, that's why it feels so good to pee.

Well folks, I'm back. So, I will keep you up-to-date with some more answers...


HOW MUCH WOOD COULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK IF A WOODCHUCK COULD CHUCK WOOD

A woodchuck could chuck as much wood as a woodchuck should chuck wood. Yes, I know, it is a little bit of a tongue twister... I think that a woodchuck is related to a beaver. But then again, it could be related to a groundhog.

ALSO HOW MENNY LICKS DOSE IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF A TOOTIE POP

I'm not very picky on spelling, but I would like to correct you... It's Tootsie Pop. I'm aware that nobody's perfect. I have made some spelling mistakes, myself. Now, to answer your question... Some scientists have actually tried this type of experiment. I'm not kidding! This is fascinating stuff. The average number is 3273, by licking only. I received some help from Google. I'm glad that you've asked this type of question. This question actually has a cousin... What is the Caramilk secret? (i.e.: How do they get the Caramel in the Caramilk bar?)

how can we succesfully pull quake into a position where it's not exactly mainstream but fully self supported and funded?


For a completely philosophical answer:

In my humble opinion, Quake is already in a position where it is self-supported and funded. Just keep on doing what you're doing... Keep on visiting the forums on Quake One. Modding is the name of the game. Just keep on downloading mods and trying them out. Mods require comments, but when you criticize someone, please choose your words wisely. Constructive criticism is a good thing; rebuking is a bad thing. Log on to the Quake servers from time to time. If you could attend some LAN parties, that would be excellent. If you could attend QuakeCon, that would be superb! Do not forget about Quake and that will do the trick.

What a great thread, I'm somewhat into philosophy myself, though I mostly study zen buddhism more than anything. I do have a question though, more of a self-help sort of question really -

How much should we rely on others' opinions and advice to model our lives around? Or put plainly, how much of a damn should we give about what people think about us?

Are wearing pants necessary, or are they the instruments of controlling humanity?

Wearing pants are necessary... If we did not wear pants, we would become sick. We would catch a cold. That being said and I wouldn't want the children to look at my private part. But obviously, if a guy wore pants in the swimming pool, people would laugh at this guy. Either they would laugh or they would cry. It is important for you to wear pants but please do not take it to an extreme level. (I wouldn't wear pants in the summertime. In the summertime, it's all about shorts!)


How much should we rely on others' opinions and advice to model our lives around? Or put plainly, how much of a damn should we give about what people think about us?

To a degree, we should care... Some human beings judge/criticize us because they want to help us. If we did not know our own flaws, how would we correct our mistakes? However, I do not think that excessive nagging is a good thing (especially if the listener is a young adult). Sometimes, if someone makes a mistake, I wouldn't say anything. Give human beings a chance to discover their own mistakes. When someone expresses an opinion about you, listen to this person carefully... Is this person speaking in a mature manner? Does this person have valid argumentative points? There are several examples, but the basic rule is: understand the difference between a helpful criticism and a bullying remark. (Example: A helpful comment: "I appreciate what you do. I'm sorry to tell you this, but [insert criticism]..." Now here's an example of an abusive remark: "You are a f**king dumb*ss.") If someone is constantly bullying you, ignore this person.
