Just found another paragraph in Timequake I really like. My novel Slaughterhouse-five was attacked back then for containing the word motherfucker. In an early episode, somebody takes a shot at four American soldiers caught behind the German lines. One American snarls at another one, who, as I...

Wouldn't a relevant question be "is man dog's best friend?"

We do have one of each in my family, but I'm neither. Not any more at least. It's just a matter of being fooled enough times before you start doubting everything. We do have the guy in the family who likes the sweet smell of prison. He always want to go back. Perhaps because of all the new...

Apocalypse Now. Great movie, one of the few war movies I have seen that I actually liked. I watched the version with 49 minutes extra. I remember watching it when I was younger, and I hated it, found it to be one of the most boring movies ever. Of course that was back when I could still find...

I've only read Slaughterhouse 5 and Timequake by Vonnegut, but he is already my favorite writer. It's not the stories or the persons in the book I like, it's the things he say and the way he says them. You might not agree with what he says it, but he says it in a way so you can't help thinking...

One thing to learn from death, there is a life to live. Why fear death, life is so much harder.

Mother Night - Kurt Vonnegut Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse The Gunslinger - Stephen King

Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut. Not at all what I had expected. Vonnegut mixes fiction with elements of his own life to share his thoughts of the world. He does this with a lot sarcasm and has written a book that both made me laugh and think. Great book.

I have a couple of friends I would say are close friends. The ones you know will be there for you no matter what and the ones you'll be there for no matter what. Most of these people I've know for most of my life, which of course isn't that much, but we know how to deal with each other in...

The thing that is missing in an internet friendship is the bodylanguage and the tone of voice, unless you use webcam and microphone. This can be a bit annoying and lead to misunderstandings. I think it's easier to open up when you write to people, that makes the conversation more personal and...

Sorry that you are loosing a friend Irene. I don't make a much of a distinction between friends on the internet and others. I have friends I would be sad to lose and would like to meet. I enjoy the conversations we have and look forward to them. There are things one has to adjust to, like...

It's hard to know what the silent majority wants, seing as they are silent. I have no problem if people here want me to adapt to not spamming threads, that's okay and I can see the point. But not saying anything, then getting angry because nothing changes or perhaps get worse and then leave...

I chose Evolution, they have the best site.

Of course they should take them serious, I'm just saying that it would be better if people tried working it out before leaving it to a mod.

No, but I think there has been posts where a mod have displayed hostility towards a memeber. That should not happen under any circumstances. I can't give you an example, because there are a bit to many threads to look through when you don't know what to search for.

Perhaps this forum also needs a bit more reality. If I have a problem with someone in "real" life I don't go running to some higher authority, I talk to the person I have a problem with. I don't think the people here are that unreasonable if you come to them with something. I think it's more...

I can feel him slipping from the throne.

Yep.. vaseline

You forgot foulsmelling. :D
