For quite some time now I have thought about this topic, and what causes it. Is it taught? What if it was born into people? So many times people put blame on our education (by parents, and etc.), not saying that they’re wrong, but what if it wasn’t, what if it was in our blood. [...]

Fellowship of the Rings – 10/10 The Two Towers – 10/10 I’ll probably watch it a few more times before it leaves the theater (which won’t be for months I’m sure). Gollum was particularly impressive — especially because they had so much to lose if it was done poorly. Peter Jackson is a genius.

All you guys out there, don’t do any of this ‘hehehehehe’ crap. It’s HAHAHAHAHA. Laugh with pride you damn females. And you girls out there, don’t do any of this ‘so funnie’ crap. It’s HAHAHAHAHA. Laugh with pride you damn males. Really, I’m not insane. I swear I’m not.

$result = mysql_query(“SELECT parent,MAX(id) as id,count(*) AS num FROM fft_comments group by parent ORDER BY id desc LIMIT 5″); This query gets the data for the “Recent Comments” section on fft.askthefool.com. The point is to get the last five unique parent based comments and count the number of posts for that parent in the entire [...]

Too many people think Microsoft is the devil and consider it to be the symbol of corruption and evil. People complain about how Microsoft is a monopoly. A monopoly is a market structure in which a single seller of a product with (1) no close substitutes serves the entire market. To maintain a monopoly a [...]

Nikon Coolpix 5700 : ) Bought it from a site called BuyDigitalDirect.com. I suggest you look into it for electronics. Cheapest I could find around. Moving on, one thing I really need to learn better from my dad is negotiating the price. I spent like 35 minutes on the phone with the sales representative, and [...]

1) I break it into two parts 2) Eat all the peanut butter in 1/2 of it 3) Eat the peanut butter from other side 4) Eat 1/2 of the choclate crust from one half 5) Eat 1/2 of the crust from the other half 6) Put the remaining 1/2s of crusts in my mouth. [...]

According to the Webster Dictionary, greed is “an excessiveness of desire for wealth or gain”. However I believe that Webster left this definition incomplete. Perhaps if we change the definition to “an excessiveness of desire for wealth or gain for ones self” then we can see more of the true meaning. Greed has been with [...]

I love that feeling I get sometimes before I take tests. Its not a feeling of ‘I know everything’, or ‘I tried my best’, or ‘I’ll be happy with whatever I get’, or ‘I hope I do well’. It’s a feeling that I know I’m going to get an A on this. This what its [...]

I still consider my self to be agnostic, meaning that I believe there is no definite way to know if God exists or doesn’t. Imagine being told to go find the “missing chick” at the beach. “What does she look like?” you ask. “Never mind that. Just find her” you are told. You cannot possible [...]

Why is it that we, as people constantly try to simplify life? Life is complicated, life is unexplainable, and life is always changing. Each day, we watch the blueprints of our surroundings put into neat little equations of our textbooks. As I say to many of my friends, if people could, they would simplify all [...]

Late last night (around two) I was flipping channels thru all the paid programming junk that’s played after midnight. I happened to come across something called “Fire-Walking”. I had heard about it before but never really knew about it. The documentary was on how this guy Anthony Robbins devised a scam about it and made [...]

Need: 1. A condition or situation in which something is required: crops in need of water; a need for affection. 2. Something required or wanted; a requisite: “Those of us who led the charge for these women’s issues… shared a common vision in the needs of women” (Olympia Snowe). Necessity; obligation: There is no need [...]

As we all know we have just recently discovered a new “planet-et” on the outer reaches of Pluto, but this is not what I want to talk to you about. Something more controversial has entered my mind. The integration of human and machine. Technology has brought us a far ways from the original striking two [...]

Most people think big business is the devil. “The problem with this country is corporations.” “Big business is sucking the money from the unfortunate.” “They get richer, while we get poorer.” This according to me these are false statements often used by Democrats to win the support of the under classes and average people who [...]
