He loves the woman he feels takes over him, so thinks he hates her.

He consistently tries to have sex with a woman he subconciously despises.

In the end he discovers he is an infinitesimal spec of flesh, wondering about the vastness of it all.

Hi PMS. I plan to, like NEOPO, have as many women as I can feed and emotionally nurture (so they won't run away, bisexuals would be ideal of course). Maybe shared with a buddy or two (need at least a few men for heavy lifting and whatnot 'till my 101 sons grow up.

Hi Penultimate,
I don’t think I’ve ever read Chesapeake but I have read The Scarlet Letter. That was in high school! I don’t remember it much. When you quoted Einstein I got the thought that I knew a quote that came from him, but on looking for it I couldn’t find it. Maybe it was from someone else. It dealt with discovering secrets or mysteries of science during quiet moments, and not while thinking.

Here’s some quote’s of Einstein I picked out. He sure has a lot of them. I got them from BrainyQuote.com-

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot.

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.

I want to know all Gods thoughts; all the rest are just details.

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow - perhaps it all will.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.


Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
*****

(Here are some I thought were pretty funny.)

I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference!

If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.

If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.

I just thought I would add this site to the discussion. I especially like all of the bashing of American women. PMS, you just need to find yourself a Spanish woman or some such type who will appreciate your depth.

I remember one time when I was in Vegas looking for a whore that there was a beautiful one sitting in a bar next to me. I got to negotiations with her pimp who was behind the bar. This girl was like an ice sculpture. So pretty, so vacuous. I can only imagine what worms were creeping through her skull. A friend of mine told me that he did something like that once and got beat up by a Samoan. Anyway, I thought better of it, poor wretch that I am, and went on to Four Corners to admire the Anasazi ruins.

2 cents PMS , find a girl that you can simply get along with for extended periods of time.If you chase and ( heaven forbid ) catch the girl that your head over heels in love with ,there's a good chance you will find unhappiness.(possessiveness and jealousy have a way of creeping in disguised as love) Start a relationship with a physically attractive woman who's crazy about you but has a personality you can't tolerate and you will also be guaranteed misery. if your lucky she won't turn psycho when you eventually break it off.Yes ,if you get married you will always wonder what the forbidden fruit tastes like on the other tree but most assuredly no matter how plump and glossy the exterior once you bite you'll find that even though that initial rush of flavor is as you'd hoped, there will always be a slightly unpleasant aftertaste that never quite leaves the mouth. Aaron , your quote about young girls describes my daughter to a tee.

I'm reminded of a movie I saw many years back which examines these issues of lust vs. love very eloquently. "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" (1988) with Daniel Day-Lewis and Juliette Binoche. Have you seen it? It was quite well done, has some history in the film as well with the Soviet invasion of Prague in 1968. Anyway, whether a person opts for monogamy and love, or lust and variety, or wants to have a bit of both comes down to one's own priorities, I guess, or what you're willing to give up to have one or the other. People could easily turn this issue into an argument about morality, but what would be the point? Perhaps being truthful to oneself while avoiding hurting others is the least painful path.

Happiness? To me, it's here and now. Lately, when I enjoy an evening with my loved ones, it occurs to me that everything is perfect, just having them near.

We all seem to take it for granted that the reserve banks (by extension, the public money supply) come to the aid of the foolish financial institutions who lent money - "creative financing" - with so little scrutiny of the borrowers. The government did the same in the early 90's with the favings and loan companies who got into a credit squeeze.

But, by extension, why not prop up the foolish borrowers, if we can prop up the foolish lenders?

I know its not fair, I don't like the idea of helping those who have so carelessly taken on mortage debts, but I'd rather throw out a lifeline to Mr and Mrs. Jones, than to Citibank or Bank Paribus. But, it seems the Federal Reserve Bank (and its overseas sisters) favor the big guys.

I heard George Bush say last week that he was more concerned about the borrowers in this mess than the lenders. (Geez, this is the scond time this month I agreed with him, time for me to to worry.) But the actions say different.

I am not sure if morality is the right way to frame this fiasco.


There is a word that describes these people who got sub-prime loans, the term is called "renters".

There is no need to bail out sub-prime borrowers by the very definition they have nothing to lose by walking away from their house.

They should take all their stuff out in the middle of the night and throw the keys at the front door of the Mortgage Company on the way out of town.

The moral thing would be to pass a law and seize the property and Bank accounts of every major Mortgage CEO and Hedge Fund manager in the country. Now that would be a bail out that I could get behind.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smiley', 'I')f you have savings, some of the hard value these savings represent is taken from you and handed out in the form of freshly printed bills to these foolish companies.

Like Robin Hood, only they are stealing from the responsible and handing it out to the fools.

How moral will it be when the citizenry discovers that all of the land and buildings discussed are going to the highest bidder in a rigged auction. An auction rigged to deprive the citizenry of the income to participate. The whore rolls on. This time she is eating her own children.

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died."

Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."

The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

Kenny said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."

The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"

Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off."

Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"

Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00."

Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"

Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.

Just thought you guys would appreciate some levity.. : )
