@petrapark3r thank you for your theory test. Yes the data is there, but by that alone Americans Should Be the welthiest on the planet per debt to income ratio. Is it true? No. In college, I was taught that these factors were "realistic numbers". Only true if EVERYTHING listed holds true. Example; I am on a limited income of roughly $800 USA with a margin of error +/- 20%. With 67% going to rent/food/medical treatment. That leaves less than 30% left, giving me an ability to invest or save this. Does this prove true ALL the time? How about your own income? Because the Federal Income Bracket/ Gross National Income and the Federal Trade Commission say I should be topping over $10,000 a month in my Savings account.

Mico-gravity in the "Cold between the stars" or the "Crushing depths where the latern-fish roam".......? I would love to be "in a undersea garden in the shade" or receive a Large hug from a Greater squid. Maybe I can see the underwater volcano plumes and the micro-environment that blossoms around them? If Chuthulu sneaks up behind me, i'm positive I will give him indigestion! Cause I will be giggling with glee, all the way down.

Someday, someone will clone that dinosaur. Do I want to be the one to read about in some blog or news snippet? No, heck no! I want to apply for the job of taming that dino, saddling it and riding it. Not to impress you, you or that argumentive Troll in the corner, I want to ride that dino for me. To tell Myself "I did this cause I could, self-doubt can go smeg itself." I Choose, do you??

@petrapark3r ....okay, I forgot to dot my"i"s and cross my "t"s @petrapark3r . What I was trying to say was (1.) test theory; the numbers and facts quoted are not tested scientific, if you read the fine print in the article itself on "overpopulation " it says "this is based on present fact and limited science with a margin of error of 0.02% or higher, on data" This is saying that many, many things have a roll of the dice chance of happening, or we could possibly roll back environment laws to the stricter 1990's possibly.
(2.) My numbers were based on educated guesses of my income, the GDP(how much money a country spends vs. what bank interest rates are) of what I SHOULD be able to save and the truth of how fast my spending goes due to things (sickness, health, taxes, how much i spend to ride a city bus, and so on and so on)beyond my control .

@happymiss real or not, I am willing to listen. As for distance makes this world too large to reach out hand-to-hand. There are ears listening, eyes watching. ....not to grab you away to "kik" "snapchat" or such, to watch and care, to share kindness, to share "I've been there" as I can.

@steelfirehawk but gravity as is is a mild pal that brings you down, my fear is the terminal velocoraptor!

@Indrid-Cold well, I will either ride it.....OR, fall off, break a nail, become Dino chow or get dragged to death!

Okay....I want to break this down a little more. Not to prove/disprove an overall force that drives our reality, but ask...."can you prove I (@sabo-goes-thud) exist?" Or anyone else here.

Are you sure your talking to a human or a line of code or a lizard of the Illumina?

@steelfirehawk never fret friend, for major chords strike a symphony on the harpsichord! You can't b flat when you are a sharp.

@DEAD_ is traffic in major cities still 80% motorcycle, bicycle to fewer cars n trucks?

Does your schooling insist or allow children to learn languages outside your country, such as Chinese, German, English? ..as is, american children are sometime taught Spanish or French but not expected to be fluent.

Hmmm.....@leelah Karma as defined by the "Bava Gheeta "(I realize I spelled the title wrong.) ;" you are born, you age, you die..there is nothing you can do to change this." Please note: no words are highlighted, capitalize or set apart. The Krishna book goes on to say "karma ( Ka of the Egyptians, Spirit of Many beliefs) is reborn on the Wheel of Life continues to turn. Karma is your debt, payed forward to reach Enlightenment. You will continue to be reborn on the Wheel of Life as an ant, a cow, a human..... until you do enough "good" to earn Enlightenment and be reborn as god/goddess and leave the Wheel of Life. (here GOOD is hard to define due to the English translation from the Hindi language)

@steelfirehawk down, down, down the hole to dig deep and bold.. The stones lie in our bones, Brother. So down, down the hole we go. With sword, pick and spade we turn the Deep Dark into our Home. Far away from the burning Morning Star, lies a sight no Man nor Elf will ever behold...curve of arch frozen in Alibaster stone, water-tumbled steps lead to Vulcan's Forge...still beating after a century 's score. Here the heartbeat redoubles, strike of hammer, ring of iron, we work in our Mother's arms....the Art of our forefathers more than match the surface tribes who squabble for for the crude works in iron our children grow their teeth upon.

@petrapark3r ......"karma is bad" Sadly, this is a Recent thing that the Christian /Catholic /large dominant religion has focused on in the last 20 years, based on a bad translation of Karma. Karma Only exists in Hindu belief, no such thing in other religions. Sin is NOT the same as Karma. <sigh>...chalk it up to believers seeing something get popular in media or even Pagen/Wiccan belief, and going "the have"x", i'my upset...why can'take we have it too <whining and boo-hooing, gnashing of teeth>!!"

@Indrid-Cold ah, but do you "own" the trophy head or does the regret of taking the head trophy own you. Cause, now you have the responsibility to clean and maintain, keep it in a well maintained room and make sure it never comes up missing.

@Lazz now, now....don't get your prefrontal cortex bashed up.... Yes, dogs Are nude, UNDER the fur/hair. A dolphin is very nude, except the fine whiskers about the chin. Hairless cats are Very nude, but unlike the Sphinx breed of cat, they are bred that way....not as a survival trait. I mean...Heavens, you have to slather that cat in hand-lotion once a week...as their skin dries out and cracks! On the opposite of "hairy" there is the common Yak and the Eurasia Yak, with a undercoat .5 inches deep and a thicker coat.....

Hmm...the "bread" comment is good.

Myself? Raised Babtist, went to church as it suited my father. I am Buddhist by stress relief, Pagen/Wiccan for the interesting talks, attend a LDS Morman church to keep my mind sharp. Yet, faith? Hard question that I have no answer except Mr Pratchett "religion is something to do with the milk of the Sky Cow and the gonads of God mixing " I have more faith in my child than some Being/Entity/ other.

Knowing yeah........no. it also means you know Exactly when and how you and anyone you know is gonna die. Can you save your Grandma's life knowing her heart is bad? Can you tell that friend to not drive at night at the corner of Freemont and Main? Can you avoid your dog getting old?

@leelah yes to all. I feel born out of my century in that i like going to Medieval Fairs, don't think of clothes as "costumes" and know which end of a sword hurts the most. Wrong body, cuae this one is worn-out before it's time. Not born at all due to a father that said "you'll never be any good." for more than 15 years. Spent the last 20, ummaking the abuse.

Is Time real, or a human construct?

How can you be single? You are made of the stuff of stars ancient! The atoms of you may have been from the Horse-head Nebula or even in orbit of Jupiter. You are the stuff of a baby's laugh or even share atoms of Queen Nefertiti!
