A: Nope.

Q: Is love a selfish thing?
 
a: i'm not sure. sometimes it is, yes. i think c.s. lewis makes a valid point about this concept when he says that most big family rows descend from the fact that each family member thinks they're renouncing something they like/want to do in favor of another member, but really their motive (sometimes unknown to themselves) consists in wanting to have something to hold over the other person's head, in terms of moral debt or similar. he concludes that if people were a bit more straightforward in expressing their desires and looking for a balance of self-contentment and altruism instead of spending time reflecting over how to make the others indebted to them families would be less conflictual. so yes, this is one example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions, but in other cases it isn't: according to my religion, if i do something horrible but i'm honestly convinced i'm doing good i won't go to hell.

q: does hell even exist?
 
A: No.

Q: If Arch were a mad scientist and one day came to your door and told you that a clone of you had been made, what would you reply?
 
A: I wouldn't be able to reply I dont think. I might ask who made it and why? Then I'd want to meet it so I can play tennis with myself and see if I really do suck.

Q: Have you read Philip K. Dick 'A Scanner Darkly'? If yes, what do you think about it being adapted to film?

Q: Do you own a cell phone? If so, what brand and model?
 
A: I can be both on certain things, like spelling. I catch spelling/typographical errors instantly.

Q: Do you think being anal retentive comes from potty training? (hence the word 'anal')
 
@idari: in fact i don't change my cellphone often. i've owned two cellphones in my life, and one of them was already old and used when i got it. i, too, change them when they're practically unusable, it just happens that i use them a lot and they break down more often. the one i'm using now has had malfunctioning keys since over a year ago, but i've lived with it. right now i have the chance to change it since the phone company gives discounts to get a new phone every year (-> i guess one of the reasons why people change so often), and this year my dad offered me to get a new cellphone instead of my brother. :rolleyes:
 
A: The anal stage of motivational development is characterized by the child's central area of bodily concern in the rectum. Bowel movements become a source of pleasure to the child. The child may defecate to receive pleasure. However, gaining pleasure from defecating brings the child into conflict with the parents regarding toilet training. Freud claimed that delays during this stage (or this stage occurring prematurely) can cause fixation. Fixation during the anal stage can result in anal retention in which a person exhibits compulsive cleanliness, orderliness, or fussiness. :D

Q: What are the first names of the Jackson 5 ?
 
A: No, and let's say I'm not interested in doing so, but maybe I just would given the opportunity.
