I dont either, but im sure the market will eventually come out with something to clean oil better as the need arises.

I wrote an essay and we were going to read them to the club (im in a mock-government club and we did a project on Obama's State of the Union). My essay is a bit, well, mind-blowing? I was worried about a negative reaction even tho the topic wasnt that controversial. It turned out we wouldnt be doing that.

And my own club (that i founded) invited a really important higher-up in a major, major local charity to come speak and she came! I was really nervous about that too haha. My club does charity work through ceramics to feed the homeless.

Thats awesome!

yea, and there is actually a prototype for a machine on the surface of the water that attracts trash and stuff, but idk how well it does against oil.

Im kinda nervous for tomorrow... I have two really important things.

I have heard so many great things about Game of Thrones! I haven't watched it though. Have you? How is the novel series?

Yep, an underwater vacuum cleaner is obviously the best solution! Maybe something that can work like a sub and maybe a bit bigger, but this could totally work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JOSVPJeu8M :P

People really need to lol. Ill respect them, but I can understand if someone has a legit trigger or something. Otherwise, lighten up haha.

Ugh. I tried downloading "The Road to Serfdom" by Frederick Hayek, but i can only find the condensed version for free. I have to pay for the full version, but im sure it still has some good information.

What is that series about?

I read the description for The Swarm and its very very intriguing lol. *invents underwater vacuum cleaner to clean pollutants to not piss off the fish*

Good lol. Sometimes nazi jokes are taken the wrong way. xD I have a Jewish friends who crack them or would at least laugh, while another who takes it very seriously. I make sure to be mindful around him.

Sci-fi/action/horror are probably my favs, or at a mixture of 2 or 3 of them. I love fantasy, but really only in anime because I feel like anime is the best medium for fantasy. Sci-fi is pretty much great in any medium in my opinion. Thats not to say that fantasy is bad in mediums other than anime (i have many other fantasy series that I enjoy that are not anime).

More specifically, I love end of the world scenarios and stories with a lot of death and sadness. So basically dark stuff. Dang, I sound like a sado-masochist or something....

so you are a closet fascist? ya know, Hitler was a socialist-fascist (i know you prefer many socialist aspects in economics). xD Im just kidding haha! Please dont take offense! To be honest tho, Mein Kampf seems pretty interesting to read. As well as the communist manifesto.

Fiction is great. I prefer it over biographies and autobiographies (i find them boring). What are your favorite genres?

Im reading too many political books at once lol. I mostly read them for the parts i find most interesting, but my goal is to read them all to the full extent while highlighting the key parts.

Defending the Undefendable by Dr. Walter Block (read like 1/5 of it)

FREEDOM! by Adam Kokesh (second time reading, almost done the second time)

Man, Economy, and State, with Power and Market by Murray Rothbard (its over 1000 pages, help me)

For a New Liberty: A Libertarian Manifesto by Murray Rothbard (very enlightening)

and the book I linked you too. This technically isn't a book, but I'm also reading this:

Universally Preferable Behaviour: A Rational Proof of Secular Ethics by Stefan Molyneux (NAP ftw!)

And of course the Attack on Titan manga (gotta have something fun in there)

^interesting book. its available for free after you click the link, there should be a download button. idk how much space it takes up, so sorry about that. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but so far its interesting (especially the part on women's opportunities).

I dont want to force you to read it, so if you dont want to, you dont have to. The man is only anti welfare state, and actually is in support of welfare (so it wont contradict your beliefs there too much).

Verbal harassment is the threat of violence. Sexual harassment is violence, as well as physical harassment. What else are the other kinds of verbal harassment you are referring to (and how they are different from the threat of violence)?

And harassment is the threat of violence, which is wrong. However, a law making harassment might have more negative effects than positive because the people crazy enough to harass dont care about the law and the law may begin to extend to barriers on free speech.

I think she was implying breaking freedom of speech. However, I was thinking if there was a way to please both sides and keep free speech. Politely telling them to stop or walking away is a solution, but what do you think in the case when one can't do that, or its not working?

Eureka means "I have found it" in Greek. Archemedes said it.

Freedom to not hear is the freedom to not hear words that I dont like.

Eureka! Haha! I have found the statistic I needed (creds to US census)!

That overthinking thing I need to work out lol. I think I just need to rephrase what Im thinking in my head. Rather than a statistic I'm trying to find that doesnt have anything to do with it, all i need to say is "charities allocate resources better than government redistribution because blah blah blah." the trick is to just get your mind off of it and go back to it. that strategy usually works for me.

Im tired. Im going to bed. ill msg again in the morning. In the mean time, I need a good conversation starter. uhhhh... idk. lemme ask a deep question for a conversation that my english teacher brought up. It sort of a PC question: Freedom to say whatever vs. Freedom to not hear.

True. I know the point I'm trying to make, but at the same time Im dont lol. Im sort of confusing myself. ill finish it up tomorrow and tuesday because i need it for school. hopefully my teacher wont hate me because she is extremely liberal. Im uber conservative as you know (well, economically I'm more right than right, but socially I'm more left than left lol). I guess my position is classical liberalism because the definitions have changed...

So where were we last time we spoke?

In the mean time I just started an essay about welfare, but I'm having difficulty finding sources with the information I want (its not a credibility issue, its just that the point I'm making is super specific I guess lol).

Tell fox I forgot he lived in a desert and to you I wrote that you oft have mountainous islands because it's already a mountain under the sea that comes up.

My skype keeps crahing mid message

Yeah I thought you would need to. Kinda just letting you know I got a new one up lol. But please delete the other one from the list. I will delete the original sign up so no one will get confused if the new character is accepted.

Hey, I pulled my first character form the Sinnoh RP, because I didn't like the direction it was going in for him. I did, however, make a new SU for a new character. And was wondering if I could go ahead and start posting with it so I could get caught up. I know no much has went on, but it looks like there are at least a few active characters still.

Ice is Ice, Rika is Fire...

Are you going to be Electricity now
