National Metal Day! Now if you excuse me, it's time to rock out
*air guitar*

it's also veteran's day. yesterday i saw 2 veterans on the way home, one of whom looked like he had suffered some injuries fighting in this pointless war.

despite the unnessacary stupidness of war, let's be thankful for our veterans. i hope my grandpa is having a nice day. :3 my uncle, too. ^^

Nichi · November 11, 2011, 11:22:05 AM

@Kari: That's true, too. I hope my grandfather on my mom's side is having a good day ^_^

Re: My feelings toward war - I used to be one of those Oh how tragic fighting is why doth humanity wreak such havoc upon itself~ people, but then I had the extremely insightful epiphany that humans are a brutish species. Fighting and killing was an integral part of survival for our early ancestors, the same as screwing, babymaking and eating. Humanity still loves screwing and making babies and eating, so it's no surprise that many of us are still enthralled by warfare, too.

(Of course, there are exceptions that prove the rule - just as there are asexuals, childfree people and folks who don't really care about food/drink aside from the nutritious value it provides, I imagine there are also truly peaceful people.)

Of course back in caveman days war was fought by small tribes with fists and stones and spears, and now we have nations with massive armies and automatic weapons and thermonuclear devices...

I felt a need to say that, since the subject of war came up

Yes it does. WWII.

Damnit, now you guys have me thinking of what to get people for Christmas! It isn't even Thanksgiving yet!

Holiday clusterfuck~ [/nostalgia_critic]

Well, I've been thinking of what to get people for Christmas since August. I like to get a jump start on it, before the crowds set in; so while everybody else is running like mad to get last-minute gifts, I sit back and drink eggnog, as I've already finished shopping ^_^

Yeah, I'd agree with that, but then again, I think it's our duty to evolve to overcome that nature. It's an evolutionary carryover that simply needs to die.

Technology - yes. Reasoning - no. Granted, I'm glad we went to war then, but still.

Chocofreak13 · November 11, 2011, 01:25:42 PM

@war: i didn't say all war was pointless, just most of it. in the case of WWII, people were dying for no reason other than a crazed 50-something with a toothbrushstache didn't like the way they looked. i get the feeling that if we hadn't gone to war (meaning britian had resisted but not retaliated) it'd still be raging today.

and japan would be running all of asia. and possibly parts of europe. half the world would be in kimonos and happi coats. (<3)

as for more recent wars:
korea = not super pointless, but it could have been more thought out.
vietnam = pointless. end of story.
cold war = pissing match.....so pointless.
gulf war = i don't know much about this one, so i'll leave it at that.
iraq war = pointless. :\

@christmas: yes, it's not thanksgiving yet, but this is the right time to make the lists and start stocking away the cash. that way, even if you choose to shop during the rush, you have a plan so you don't spend 8 hours wandering the mall, ending up with a gift certificate to perfumania and a back massager from brookstone (and 5 pounds of peanut butter fudge for your cousin that you forgot has a peanut allergy).

also, i figured out what i'm getting for everyone that requested art. >:3 (and it won't cost me more that like, 10 bucks for everyone. >w> )

I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention that on this Veteran's Day, I feel a great gratitude to all those who have served and had the bravery to go where many of us would not. Whether I agree or not with the motivations of our government, I still respect and honor those who have gave their lives in service, and also those who made it back home.

I hope other people are going to be on the forum tonight, I have a feeling I'll be here for awhile ^^;.

Chocofreak13 · November 11, 2011, 02:23:54 PM

( ﾟヮﾟ) i'm still here!

IanDanKilmaster · November 11, 2011, 02:25:46 PM

Good, someone's getting that game tonight (you know, the one that was supposed to be released today, but some moron made a mistake and sold a copy early, then everyone else sold their copies early?), and I'll no doubt be left with nothing to do for quite some time xD.

Chocofreak13 · November 11, 2011, 02:30:02 PM

yay? :\

IanDanKilmaster · November 11, 2011, 02:34:22 PM

Meh, I'm not mad about it. I'd just rather not be bored for hours tonight. Normally, it's not a problem because we'd switch out between computer and console, but she's going to be pretty into playing Skyrim. She's been extra excited about it ever since she learned she'd be getting it tonight.
