tolerating stupidity
u know ppl i really really hate.
fatheads.
people who think , that thinking is a waste of time. get into a mess becoz they haven't thought something through and then lose their peace of mind. and also in the process, eat my brains out on a peaceful saturday morning.
WHY are you in such a stupid position in the first place?? of being in love with two guys??

all the kids in all the world.
i had a really long lecture from my roommate, that i was getting too old.
and i HAD to grow up and decide on getting married.
i dont know why, but i had this real strong urge to make funny faces and stick my tongue out at her as she was telling me i was too old.
really ? man. didnt know i was almost a geriatric.
:-/
sigh. when i finally thot i had got rid of all these ppl.
ok lets see.
is it really such a disaster if i remain single for the rest of my life. am i supposed to force myself if i don't feel like it?
i don't think i'm that desperate yet. also. if i was, then obv all my restrictions wud be chucked out the window.
as of now, i dont see why i can't adopt kids. i dont see why when have so many hundreds of millions of kids on the street, i have to get two more into the world. ok 2 seem to be the expected number. just imagine. if instead of getting 2 new lives. i saved 2 lost ones.
wudnt that be infinitely better?
to save a lost soul?
i know how easy it is to get lost in this world. and then u have the religious morons, who talk about god, yet will not do anything in their lives even remotely worthy of being called good.
she actually had the opinion that she wud never ever be able to look after an adopted kid. seriously. it was like, when i heard that, it was like a .... like someone had just put an arrow thru me. i swear i think my heart did still for sec there.
how can u just refuse to even consider the possibility? even after looking at the stats and their faces ?
oh god. just thinking of it makes me hyperventillate.

does god exist.
i had this rather lengthy debate on if god exists.
usually i don't get into this, coz usually ppl are too sensitive about this topic.
but i'm an agnostic. hard core.
and i really really logically think that
"if god did not exist , it wud be necessary to invent him" - voltaire
now, i dont believe there is someone seeing us from somewhere and judging us.
it contradicts the very definition of god.
anyways. so we made a bunch of statements.
and for this discussion i'm an agnostic.
so SM says that he 'knows' god exists. and the way he knows it is FAITH.
and he had scientific facts to prove god existed.
i said -
we dont know if god exists. its very possible he does not. u cant use faith
to say u know god exists. and u cant base ur 'scientific facts' on faith. that u know the red sea parted and u cant explain it so u believe god parted the red sea
thats ridiculous. but i'm not syaing he does not exist. i'm just saying he might not. YOU CAN'T KNOW FOR SURE. coz the human brain is sooo tiny it cannot possibly comrehend to know anything for sure. so mebe he does. meebe he does not. u dont know the answer. atleast according to me. but then thats me and what do i know??
but can u tell me for sure u know god exists?
basically try to prove i'm wrong. convince me u know god exists.

ppl who i hate
you know what i really really dislike in the US
all the waste.
the wasteful lives ppl lead to all the stuff that they waste.
like food, water, energy, etc etc
ok so i'm not that fanatic about stuff as some ppl < which is bad > but then
some ppl are SO wasteful.
and i can't live looking at them and their lives anymore. so pls ppl , either move away or have the decency to drop dead. coz i cant live like this anymore!
well u know things like
buying too much food and throwing it away after it rots.
throwing away so much plastic.
leaving lights on
leaving the water on, even when ur doing something else, like staring at urself in the mirror. [ ur ugly. deal with it and close that tap ]
buyng too many clothes and then throwing them away after their out of fashion
ordering non veg food and then not finishing it. throwing it away.. [ GOD, the animal died to feed you. the least you can do is not waste its sacrifice and finish your food ]
the last one was a bit convioluted logic i know.
but i hate waste. and ppl who waste. a pox on all of u. ur just a dharti pe bhoj.
and here's a shakespearan insult for u
thine face is not worth sunburning. [ hillarious!! ]

stephen colbert quotes
when it comes to the budget, mccain is like a brain surgeon from the 1600. not a scalpel, he's got a machette !!
lol
ACORN with the name mickey mouse. some hilarious comments from the colbert report.
omg he so totally clobbered mccain.
senator obama has never been south of our border. mccain has been everywhere. clearly he has more freq flyer miles !!
"Al Gore has a hit movie called 'An Inconvenient Truth.' I have an inconvenient truth for him: you're still not the president. ... This past weekend, Al Gore's movie, 'An Inconvenient Truth,' earned more per screen than any film in the country. ... I dare say Gore's movie is the highest grossing PowerPoint presentation in history. ... Global warming: Can we live with it? ... It is time we did something, namely resign ourselves to doing nothing [on screen: Follow Congress' Lead]. ... For instance, when sea levels rise, we'll just build levees [on screen: Worked for New Orleans]" --Stephen Colbert
"To sit here at the same table with my hero, George W. Bush...I feel like I'm dreaming. Somebody pinch me. You now what, I'm a pretty sound sleeper, that may not be enough...Somebody shoot me in the face." --Stephen Colbert, roasting Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondents' dinner
"I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers, and rubble, and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message that no matter what happens to America she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo-ops in the world." --Stephen Colbert, at the WHCD
"When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday -- no matter what happened Tuesday." --Stephen Colbert, at the WHCD
"I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq." --Stephen Colbert, at the WHCD
"TV's Tony Snow becomes the White House press secretary. How will he make the difficult transition from Fox News reporter to Republican apologist? ... Mr. President, it is time to hire the folks who've never let you down. Limbaugh at Health and Human Services. Hannity at State. Then give Rummy the Medal of Freedom and install Bill O'Reilly as secretary of defense. Only problem, you might find yourself invading Vermont. And I'll replace Chertoff at Homeland Security. The man's done nothing to control the bear population." --Stephen Colbert
"We all know why [the generals] are so critical of the defense secretary. They're being defensive because they weren't able to implement his brilliant plan [on screen: Operation 'Greet Us As Liberators']. It was so simple: Go in with 100,000 troops, topple the regime, everybody loves us, and we leave by Easter 2003. These ex-military men have their right to their opinions, that's fine. They just shouldn't voice them during a war [on screen: 'Loose Lips Sink Approval Ratings']" --Stephen Colbert
"I'm going to miss him, too. Another classy move from a classy guy. The man who stood tall even as his staffers dropped like laundered nickels from an Indian casino slot machine. ... He's doing it right folks -- going out at the top of his game in the middle of a criminal investigation." --Stephen Colbert, on Tom DeLay
"It's time for me to give out an award to newly elected Majority Leader John Boehner. Mr. Boehner was elected just a few days ago to reform House Republicans, who are feeling the heat from lobbyist scandals. Well, CNN found out that he rents his two-bedroom apartment from a lobbyist who had clients who had interests in legislation that Boehner sponsored. And for that, Mr. Boehner, you've just won a pair of Stephen Colbert's big brass balls." --Stephen Colbert
"So what? A lobbyist cheated Indian tribes out of $25 million then laundered their money through phony Christian charities trying to stop other Indian tribes from getting casinos [on screen: 'Thou Shalt Not Compete'] and bribe congressmen in the process. Know what I call that? I call that business as usual in Washington. [on screen: 'Screwing Indians']" --Stephen Colbert
"A native American group has filed a class-action lawsuit against the government for mismanagement of oil, gas, grazing, timber and other royalties since 1887. They're seeking $100 billion. Here's the good news: The government has responded what I believe is an appropriate counteroffer: A two-cent Navajo stamp." --Stephen Colbert
"President Bush has embarked on an eight-day tour of the continent. He hopes this one goes better than the other ones he's made recently. Obviously he's not doing that well in North America [on screen: '36% Approval'], his South American trip had a few bumps [on screen: 'Angry mobs of torch-carrying bumps'], Europe seems to think the president doesn't care what they think, but hey, who cares what they think? They could at least thank him for what he's done for their burning effigy industry." --Stephen Colbert
"Senator McCain, stop taking away are right to do it 'cause it doesn't exist. It's like licensing unicorns or ending Leprechaun Wednesdays." --Stephen Colbert, on torture
"Saddam's trial, the TV event of the year. It's like the Oscars, but with atrocities." --Stephen Colbert
"We are divided between those who think with their heads and those who know with their heart. Consider Harriet Miers. If you think about Harriet Miers, of course her nomination is absurd. But the President didn't say he thought about his selection. He said this: "I know her heart." Notice how he said nothing about her brain? He didn't have to. He feels the truth about Harriet Miers." --Stephen Colbert
"And that brings us to tonight's word: Truthiness. Now I'm sure some of the word-police, the "wordanistas" over at Websters, are gonna say, "Hey, that's not a word!" Well, anybody who knows me knows that I am no fan of dictionaries or reference books. They're elitist. Constantly telling us what is or isn't true, what did or didn't happen...
"I don't trust books. They're all fact, no heart. And that's exactly what's pulling our country apart today. Because face it, folks, we are a divided nation. Not between Democrats or Republicans, or conservatives and liberals, or tops and bottoms. No, we are divided by those who think with their head, and those who know with their heart...
"The 'truthiness' is, anyone can read the news to you. I promise to feel the news...at you." --Stephen Colbert, on the premiere of The Colbert Report
"We've learned John Roberts is a no-nonsense guy, prefers a half Windsor knot for his tie, is no fan of cuff links. And, most tellingly, he parts his hair on the left, which very well might raise some hackles on the right" --Daily Show correspondent Stephen Colbert
"There's a more important reason to keep NASA's programs going strong ... to achieve that greatest of discoveries, the thing we as human beings need most: space oil." --Daily Show correspondent Stephen Colbert
"Apparently the U.S. never had possession of these dangerous munitions, and didn't even find out they were gone until a couple of weeks ago. So to the Bush critics who call this incompetence, the White House responds: 'Joke's on you, it's actually ignorance.'" Daily Show correspondent Stephen Colbert
"Might I point out, this is the same Senator Kerry who voted against the president's tax cuts. Now he wants to tell you he's for explosives not being stolen from weapons depots. Which is it, Senator, you can't have it both ways?" --Daily Show correspondent Stephen Colbert
"It's one thing to believe Bush's policies are leading his country toward a bleak future of massive debt, increased terrorism, and environmental catastrophe but does Dean have to be so mad about it? He just comes off as petty. I mean, if America liked angry presidents JFK would have beaten all those secretaries instead of nailing them." —Daily Show correspondent Stephen Colbert, on why he believes Howard Dean is too angry to appeal to the general electorate

why self control needs more energy
This is some of the stuff that i actually wanted to be studying.
How self control needs more energy
u know. the brain. my fascination with the brain is even greater than my fascination with myself. [ and that's saying a lot ]
i had once deluded myself that i cud get into the neuroscience field. study the developement of the brain in infants and monkeys.
study attention problems and why people have them. perception differences. conflicts and how theyr represented in the brain.
trust me, its fascinating stuff !
its kind of comforting to think that my random impulsive alien kind of behaviour might be caused by some kind of frontal lobe damage in the brain :P
cool huh ?

i wonder how palin wud have fared in india. i bet she'd fall back on a lot of hindu muslim rhetoric and some stupid rhetoric about culture and how we're losing to the US. the youth getting corrupt. gud lord she sounds like that gujarat dude who dud those riots.
ok i'm bad at rem names at like midnight and stuff. but u get the point , right?

1. ok ppl deserve it statement. well i was thinking more in the sense of the whole population as a whole. destroying the forests and bringing about global warming kind of thing. that man as a species deserves to be killed. u can make the argument that does a baby russian snow leopard deserve to die or be eaten when there are only 40 left on the planet?? russian snow leapords i mean. obv NOT. but then life was not fair and i meant in a amoral , cause and effect way. man destroys planet, planet destroys man kind of thing.
if u knew me u'd understand better coz i'd have already pontificated in more detail many many times.
also about the 3 yr old. again life is def unfair, but then thats life. and i was not saying that each person did something to deserve death. coz thats ridiculous. never said natural disasters happen to punish us. thats just plain stupid talk.
2. i meant the crutch thing. to see it rationally i don't think man wud exist without a crutch of some sort. everyone has to believe in something. even atheists believe in something. they just believe that there is no god. i feel that ordinary ppl can't survive without a crutch and that most ppl wud loose their moral compas without a fixed point of reference. again i don't believe in religion per se except to be used as that moral compas.
and who said life had to be better. obv an invented god is worse. TOUGH LUCK !!
3. rationally? well it comes from my belief in the atma. and ties to point 4.
u start from why are we here. what is the purpose of man. lets do this like math. as much as possible atleast.
unfortunately to come to a conclusion we need all the facts which we do not have. its like finding a solution with most parameters missing. so we need to make some assumptions. i'll work with the assumption that ONE god exists.
now we know that all living creatures evolve. so now we are human. wats gr8er than human. well if god exists then the gr8est thing, the pinacle of evolution is god.
ok so now the goal of each living being, is to evolve into something better, that is to become god. but since there is only one god, we have to integrate with god.
ok so then obv one lifetime is insuffiucient so then we come to the concept of atma. and reincarnation and stuff.
also i believe in astrology and vedas and hinduism as a philosophy. and stuff. [ thats another story , ok ? ]
oh i fin my point. cool.
now u see why i say ppl get wat they deserve, coz obv karma fits there. and why i dont want to get married coz i dont want to get sucked into a routine and forget the higher purpose , which is evolving a lil more to find god. i think after the atma becomes human, we can reach there pretty fast if we don't get too distracted... but mebe one can get married and also do it provided u had the right partner.
now if our assumption that god exists is wrong, that means this is all very random and then it seems SUCH an awful awful waste, huh? and then also the brain sees patterns where none exists. so its quite possible that all of everything that has ever happened was pretty pointless!! and THAT my friend is something that i cannot live with. so i prefer to live with the alternative fully knowing that its all based on ONE assumption. and thats why i said if god did not exist its necessary to invent him coz otherwise i cannot live knowing everything had no point.
my fingers are GONE.
