| Altruism Assassin  Location: Massachusetts Posts: 4,959 | Some misc. good quotes "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." "Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it." "I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him." All from Mark Twain, great quote source and author "A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love." "Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent" Neitzsche, I think I got his name right, friggin Germans. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein |

 adorable = power  Location: Hong Kong, China Posts: 1,821 | "(arguing why we should go to mars) 'Cause it's next. 'Cause we came out of the cave and we looked over the hill and we saw fire. And we crossed the ocean and we pioneered the West and we took to the sky. The history of man is hung on a timeline of exploration and this is what's next" Written by Aaron Sorkin. Acted by Rob Lowe. despite if you agree or not whether we should go to mars, this describes a lot about humanity. Also about government, (stalling for time before a vote) Josh: He can have a member try to attach an amendment to the override vote. Donna: What kind of amendment? Josh: Doesn't matter. "To qualify for the estate tax repeal, the estates have to have Astroturf™." Donna: And still it's hard to figure why Congress can't get anything done. Don't forget this is all in good fun! "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." Verbal Kint, "Usual Suspects" |

 Amused  Location: Mid Atlantic Posts: 1,199 | Mind your own business! I don't know who said it first but it's my favorite. That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong. W. J. H. Boetcker |

 Cabbages and Kings  Location: England Posts: 225 | Atheism is a religion in the same way not collecting stamps is a hobby —ANON Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. —PHILIP K. DICK I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires. —SUSAN B. ANTHONY Only the atheist realizes how morally objectionable it is for survivors of a catastrophe to believe themselves spared by a loving God while this same God drowned infants in their cribs. —SAM HARRIS Man is, and always has been, a maker of gods. —JOHN BURROUGHS We must believe in free will; we have no choice. —ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER The peak of tolerance is most readily achieved by those who are not burdened by convictions. —ALEXANDER CHASE Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. —GEORGE BERNARD SHAW If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years. Bertrand Russell |

| adorable = power Location: Hong Kong, China Posts: 1,821 | "The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral. Returning violence with violence only multiplies violence adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars." Martin Luther King Jr. The imagery in this is wonderful. Don't forget this is all in good fun! "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." Verbal Kint, "Usual Suspects" |

| BANNED Location: Ohio Province, Rep. of Comerica Posts: 7,320 | "It is common to assume that human progress affects everyone, that even the dullest man, in these bright days, knows more than any man of, say, the Eighteenth Century, and is far more civilized. This assumption is quite erroneous... The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history. They are ignorant, they are dishonest, they are cowardly, they are ignoble. They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge." HL Mencken Quotes provided by The Architecture of Modern Political Power |
