Actually when people are writing stuff as Radar did it seems so stupid that I lose every pleasure to try to discuss such matters...
Coming from person who is far more stupid than I would be even if I were hit on the head repeatedly with a sledgehammer, I consider that a compliment.

Yeah I'm whining already... "You are more stupid than me" Man, you know how to insult somebody. And talking about knowing how stupid I'm am? Well you must know me better than I thought, because that's a secret. And if you would have read my post correctly, or is it my bad english?, you would see that I didn't make any observations but only a personal opinion that stresses on "it seems" but never mind. I can understand that you feel attacked by everybody...

Note to self: Check temperature of Hell. Must be low, I agree with radar. This must also mean the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl this year.

Now look here. If someone feels the need to constantly validate themselves by provocation, because causing a reaction, any reaction, is more effective self-confirmation than what is actually said, because then at least they know they actually exist, then that's up to them. Don't let them get to ya Radar, I'm with ya.


Goes to stand next to DanaC with gritted teeth and exchange sympathies over Karl Marx

*joins the Marx-Engels sympathising group*

Don't think this is going anywhere... Radar already said that he doesn't know what'd happen if he did kill anyone on his list...

Radar 05-18-2004 09:37 AM

I know what wouldn't happen. But something else might happen. And the odds are with me that whatever does happen won't be as bad as what did happen as a result of the influence created by the actions of the people on my list.

Hey there are a ton of other people on this board. By all means, stop focusing on what MY hypothetical plans would are and get to what YOU would do if you went back in time.

Marx-Engels

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs"

Marx-Engels had nothing to do with the crimes commited in the 20C in their names, however it remains...

...Communism, wonderful theory, wrong species.

Three things:

I'd like to show up about 5 minutes before the big bang just to see it happen.

I'd like to go back to witness the exact moment that life was formed (on earth) just to know how it happened.

I'd like to witness the death of the last human.

Also seeing as time was supposed to have been created in the big bang how can you show up about 5 minutes before.

Just shows that singularities can be a real mindfuck

While time may have been created at the big bang, that doesn't rule out that it existed and terminated just before it. And if it terminated for an infinitely small period of "time" then its as if it didn't really terminate at all. I think the real problem with witnessing the big bang is finding something to hide under or outrunning it

Well, you can always fall back on the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy is neither created nor destroyed. In the sense that consciousness is energy, we were ALL there for the big bang. The concussion just knocked it out of our memory banks. ;)
