Yesterday two jehovas came to our door. Could get rid of quite easily though, just proclaimed I was atheïst and they went on their way again.
okay they said wel I understand it is difficult to talk about in an attempt to engage me in conversation. Now I would've done that if we weren't about to eat. I would've like to get them enraged because I can get them at their own game, but that aside.
Now what I was wondering, aren't they going to hell? I mean it was a sunday afterall. God's and there for mans day off. And getting souls into your sekt (or is it sect?) pretty much sounds as work to me. I mean they have to convince someone to become part of your religion, not an easy thing to do especially with the general public so annoyed with jehovas...

Would you rather be omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing)? Assume you can't have both.

• Omniscience - give me knowledge.
• Omnipotence - give me power.

I would have neither. If you know everything all would be boring because you know what is going to happen. Which in essence means you are all powerfull as well.

and being all powerfull is boring too since if you don't like something you can change it as you please.

If you are either all knowing or all powerfull there are no chalanges left so why would I want that?

My personality awards on my profile say I'm less giving?

okcupid description:
Sure they give a shit about you. They just don't give two shits. These users are not as concerned with the welfare of others as the average populace. It may take outstanding service from a waitress, for example, to earn a thank you or tip.

I'm giving enough, I volunteer for instance last year even during my exams! (more then a hunderd hours a year I think)

I'm the one who mostly shops for my classmates's birthdays (we all chip in for a gift)

I give a round when we go out sometimes (usually we don't because we all drink things that are of different value etc.)

And hey what about giving inmaterial things? Doesn't that count for something?

Translation of "weltrusten meneer de President" 1966 protest song during vietnam war, but still current today. (of course the Dutch version below is better)


Mister President, Goodnight
Sleep tight in your nice white house
Don't think to much about those distant shores
Where your boys are, lonely, far from home
Really don't think about those 46 deaths
That mistake, recently, with that bombardment
And forget about the fourth of those ten commandments
That you, as good Cristian, shurely know

Don't think about those young front soldiers
Lonely dieng in the tropic night far away
Let the pacifists talk
Mister President, Sleep tight

Dream about conquering and victory
Dream about your peace ideals
That never has been achieved by bloody murder
Dream about how you will achieve it this time
Don't think about all those people that are suffering
How many women, how many children were murdered
Dream about how you will win
And don't belief any objecters

Bayonets with bloody vests
Are holding watch here on your command
For the glory of the free west
Mister president, Sleep tight

Don't be scared to much when you see
all those innocent victoms in your dreams
That died in battles far away
Who ask you how long will this continue
And you must know by now
That there are people who are sick from all the violence
That can't forget all the blood and suffering
And for whom a human life still has worth

Don't dream about all those dead people
Dream about winning and might
Don't think about all those wishes for peace
Mister president, sleep thight


In dutch:

Meneer de president, welterusten
Slaap maar lekker in je mooie witte huis
Denk maar niet te veel aan al die verre kusten
Waar uw jongens zitten, eenzaam, ver van thuis
Denk vooral niet aan die zesenveertig doden
Die vergissing laatst met dat bombardement
En vergeet het vierde van die tien geboden
die u als goed christen zeker kent

Denk maar niet aan al die jonge frontsoldaten
Eenzaam stervend in de verre tropennacht
Laat die bleke pacifistenkliek maar praten
Meneer de president, slaap zacht

Droom maar van de overwinning en de zege
Droom maar van uw mooie vredesideaal
Dat nog nooit door bloedig moorden is verkregen
Droom maar dat het u wel lukken zal dit maal
Denk maar niet aan al die mensen die verrekken
Hoeveel vrouwen, hoeveel kinderen zijn vermoord
Droom maar dat u aan het langste eind zult trekken
En geloof van al die tegenstand geen woord

Bajonetten met bloedige gevesten
Houden ver van hier op uw bevel de wacht
Voor de glorie en de eer van het vrije westen
Meneer de president, slaap zacht

Schrik maar niet te erg wanneer u in uw dromen
Al die schuldeloze slachtoffers ziet staan
Die daarginds bij het gevecht zijn omgekomen
En u vragen hoe lang dit nog zo moet gaan
En u zult toch ook zo langzaamaan wel weten
Dat er mensen zijn die ziek zijn van geweld
Die het bloed en de ellende niet vergeten
En voor wie nog steeds een mensenleven telt

Droom maar niet te veel van al die dode mensen
Droom maar fijn van overwinning en van macht
Denk maar niet aan al die vredeswensen
Meneer de president, slaap zacht

Which is more important to you: Developing yourself or developing friendships?

• Self development.
• Developing friendships.

I believe that one cannot be without the other. Every friendship will add something to your self And your self will add to friendships.

I mean who you are will define which friends you will surround yourself with. (people of a group often listen to similar music and clothe themselves similar.)

And in each group of friends you will take on a role which will help you devellop yourself. Friends can offer insights to you or can confront you with thing so you can devellop.

Nothing personal, but: As it seems that you are trying to communicate, in your native language of English (and, that various
robotic elements of the Internet have, specifically, been constructed to assist people like you who do not bother to use
the elements of the English language that have been monotonously
drilled into you and everyone in your age-group), is there actually some legitimate reason (other than indifference) that you couldn't have used Spellcheck or Grammarcheck to assist your efforts?
=====47535=====

Let me make this clear: If you yourself speak only one language please don't even think to write a message like the one above to me. English is My third language so be it if there is a spelling or gramatical error somewhere even if it is a stupid one.

(I am happy to recieve polite messages about an error)

My actual reply to him was:

My native English is Limburgisch my second language is Dutch. How is your third language? Tu parlé Français? Spreekt u Nederlands? Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Spriks se misschien Limburgs? ¿Hable Español?

Are you able to write a profile in more then one language? Or write even one test in a non English language? Or write and read scientific articles in another language?

And yes it is indifference. As long as people get the thing I wish to say that is fine by me. If I get a POLITE message that states a mistake in my spelling somewhere I will be glad to change it.

Anything else you might wish to comment on?

I earned €136 today for three hours worth of work (of which one was getting information and changing into our costumes etc.) Now that is easy money eh? All we had to do was to play a few characters. We even got a luxurious free lunch out of it.

I wished this could be my regular job, getting out of bed at 6 in the morning gets bareable even. :-P

I just needed to type some list so it could be send to my classmates no problem you would say. But NOOOOOO!!! you never worked with MS Word while you needed to make a lot of different collums.

The program has handy tools to help you do what you want (like anticipating you want to make a list for instance) but now try that when you want to make collums of several different sizes. first it doesn't accept that you want several different collums on one page. and when you finally convinced it that you really like to have more, it goes and replace lines from one collum to the next. And then it just shuts out enters and changes it into two spaces

Now after getting fantasies of bombing the MS HQ and trowing my computer through the window I wisely stopped. Maybe open office will fare better.

Would you turn down a potential date because one of your friends thought the person was ugly?

• Yes.
• No.
• I'm not sure.

hmm more likely I'd be disappointed and maybe even angry at my friend for saying so. What does him/her give the right to say that to me? If I like how she looks it's enough. He is not the one dating her!

I wouldn't mind if the remark was someting like "she wouldn't be my type but..." because tastes differ. You can still see someone's beauty even if it is not your personal preference.

Would you consider dating or forming an otherwise sexual or romantic relationship with someone who hates your sex/gender?

• Yes.
• No.

If someone hates my gender why would they be willing to form a relationship with me? I mean doesn't the first exclude the latter?
