We live in a society where everyone wants something

[Mizfit]

Everytime i turn around someone wants something.. whether it be my time.. my attenion..

I have attenion.. but i confess it's only for things i want to have attenion for.. So if patience was a virtue I have very little.. and today it's worn so thin.. i guess due to not sleeping in 2 days.. GRRRR

Anyhow i'm going to post this little essay i have on my wall that i really like

The Paradox of our Time!

The paradox of our time in history is that...

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers.
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less.
We buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families.
More conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense.
More knowledge, but less judgment.
More experts, but more problems.
More medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly,
laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly,
stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little,
watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;
We've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space;
We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less;
We plan more, but accomplish less;
We've learned to rush, but not to wait;
We have higher incomes, but lower morals;
We have more food, but less appeasement;

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication.

We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.

These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure,but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to make a difference.

hey mizfit, you wanna know something weird about time? when you start moving close to the speed of light, space and time are interchanged. i know that sounds abstract, so il put it this way, part of what i call time makes up what another observer sees as space.

my brain hurts...

[Mesomorphyl]

Not me... I am willing to pay for you, mizfit, a round trip airline ticket - accomodations - and booze. Oh, you are right... I would want something out of this deal.

Let me know.

hotstuff is warning me bout men like you

[Tren Bull]

my brain hurts...

yea theory of relativity is weird sh_t. you wanna hear something else about that? lets say we have a pole that is 5 billion miles long, and it goes past you very close to the speed of light. according to you, the pole could be as short as a few inches, but in the poles reference frame it is still 5 billion miles long.

[Mesomorphyl]

hotstuff is warning me bout men like you

No warning needed. I will tell it like it is. You will feel comfortable... even to the point of peeing in front of me. LOL

PM me if interested.

[Tren Bull]

haha location: pissing on saluu. thats great

[Tren Bull]

saluu is a stupid name anyway. it means hi in french. who the hell speaks french anyway?

[heavyrotation92]

well if it was going the speed of light, you wouldnt see it would you?

[Tren Bull]

if you were to go at exactly the speed of light, the entire universe would be so compressed (according to your reference frame) that it would be even more thin than a piece of paper. youd literally travel an infinite distance in literally no time.

[Tren Bull]

well if it was going the speed of light, you wouldnt see it would you?

thats true, but were talking relativity. we dont see things, we observe them

[RuhlFreak55]

I read it...I especially like how he stresses the lack of morality...there is definately a lack of that

morality? what's that?

[RuhlFreak55]

saluu is a stupid name anyway. it means hi in french. who the hell speaks french anyway?

i speak some french....and it's spelled salut.....it's also an italian word i believe

[RuhlFreak55]

if you were to go at exactly the speed of light, the entire universe would be so compressed (according to your reference frame) that it would be even more thin than a piece of paper. youd literally travel an infinite distance in literally no time.

which is exactly why i have to make that possible.......of course countless thousands of years are passing around you......a few seconds for you is a few centuries for the outside world

[Tren Bull]

thats true, but were talking relativity. we dont see things, we observe them

i know you're probably thinking what the hell difference does that make? its just terminology commonly used, which means we have the ability to see everything. its kind of theoretical. if we were going the speed of light, we wouldn't see much of anything. hell, wed hit the end of the universe in less than a second.

[Tren Bull]

which is exactly why i have to make that possible.......of course countless thousands of years are passing around you......a few seconds for you is a few centuries for the outside world

well technically, if we were to get on a spcae ship and go close to the speed of light, the people on earth would age much much faster than the people on the ship would. time dilation and length contraction occur only when you go very close to the speed of light

[RuhlFreak55]

ummmm.....there is more than one universe

[RuhlFreak55]

well technically, if we were to get on a spcae ship and go close to the speed of light, the people on earth would age much much faster than the people on the ship would.

that's what i said

[Tren Bull]

ummmm.....there is more than one universe

im not sure about terminology here, but the prefix uni means one, hinting that there is only one universe

[Myka]

morality? what's that?

exactly...I would suppose that is least favorite part of most of the people who look at this...maybe makes them feel a little guilty...

[Tren Bull]

that's what i said

you been studying relativity?

[Tren Bull]

that's what i said

not exactly, you said

a few seconds for you is a few centuries for the outside world

the outside world isn't moving near the speed of light compared to you, so relativistic effects are so small that they can be neglected

[Mizfit]

exactly...I would suppose that is least favorite part of most of the people who look at this...maybe makes them feel a little guilty...

They've ruined my thread.. owell i ruin so many

[Tren Bull]

They've ruined my thread.. owell i ruin so many

im sorry mizfit, i didn't mean to hijack

[Mizfit]

im sorry mizfit, i didn't mean to hijack

it's cool.. i do it too soo many.. and when i get home i gonna put so many gay animate gif's in u'r threads ur gonna go looking for guys personal gear shifts

[Tren Bull]

it's cool.. i do it too soo many.. and when i get home i gonna put so many gay animate gif's in u'r threads ur gonna go looking for guys personal gear shifts

ohh, thats not very nice

[RuhlFreak55]

im not sure about terminology here, but the prefix uni means one, hinting that there is only one universe

oh i guess it was mislabeled originally then

[Tren Bull]

in that case you can consider this thread officially hijacked

[Mizfit]

ohh, thats not very nice

[Tren Bull]

actually im just kidding mizfit. you know i love ya

[RuhlFreak55]

not exactly, you said

a few seconds for you is a few centuries for the outside world

the outside world isn't moving near the speed of light compared to you,

yeah and so time travels much slower for you..........you go through seconds and the people that aren't going the speed of light experience years

[Tren Bull]

oh i guess it was mislabeled originally then

i think you're thinking of galaxies. i was under the impression that the universe was the whole thing

[Tren Bull]

yeah and so time travels much slower for you..........you go through seconds and the people that aren't going the speed of light experience years

yea its weird man. absolutely weird. make you wonder what the hell einstein was smoking when he thought this up

[RuhlFreak55]

i think you're thinking of galaxies. i was under the impression that the universe was the whole thing

no i'm not.......like at the end of men in black.......a galaxy is a group of stars.........a universe is a group of galaxies that is inconceivably big
