    It is true that we are weak and sick and ugly and quarrelsome but if that is all we ever were, we would millenniums ago have disappeared from the face of the earth. ~ John Steimbeck

    Presently, my sig line. Reason for liking it is self-explanatory.
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    Mother****er is norepresentative because the actual sount is mofar. But that's ok.
    FDR got that one from Herbert Hoover and made it part of the New Deal. He beat Hoover with Hoover's own thoughts. But that was also ok and needed.

    Some people use "nothing" and "no thing" as if they meant the same. But nothing is the absence of any thing, while no thing refers to the presence of any thing. ~ C A Cafolini

    I like this because of it's overwhelming affirmation of faith in another person. How lucky it would be to find such a person!

He continue wasting his days trying to find the Unified Field Theory which, any scientist knew upfront as an idiocy.
    Henry was talking about belief and knew that you can believe whatever you please and act upon it, while Einstein was so retarded that he actually thought his was much more than a belief.
    Ironically, the only wisdom that shines brightly through your diatribe of lunacy is the Einstein 'quote'= Politics is everchanging, while an equation is eternal. Not to blatantly accuse you of anti-Semitism, but the vast majority of critics who discredit Einstein are Neo-Nazis and people who think Calculus is the hardest subject math has to offer.

    Oh... you were just kidding!? Allow me to guffaw in private.

    What did you stay away from the forum for five years for? To turn five years more ignorant. Who gave you this impossible job? You, underground? ROFLMAO!

    Oh, cafolini, please do continue to "ROFLMAO" (return this useless acronym to the elementary school child, from whom you borrowed it, K? Thanks ) at the gibberish you write that is completely devoid of thought, humor and insight. You "diss" one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century by making a comment based purely on spite, supported by absolutely NO argument. Oddly enough, the only thing remotely humorous about you is that you quote yourself! You, the oh so opinionated God of the world wide web of LitNet, please be merciful when smiting my young buns with your wiener of hardboiled facts!

    Will your highness permit me to humbly quote a small product of your ingenious mind?:

    To turn five years more ignorant
    (1) I'm assuming you were aiming for self-parody since you use the word, 'ignorant', which is easily the most blatantly misused word in the English language (no exception here). Thus, the reason I rarely, if ever, use it.

    (2) The first textbook definition for the word, "ignorant", is to lack knowledge or awareness in general. We all generally lack knowledge and awareness about many things that are general so to use this definition is analogous to accusing someone of being alive. So yes, I am alive, and doing quite well, thank-you for asking .

    (3) The second textbook definition for "ignorant" follows directly from the first: "Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular". This one is subject to the periodically correct use of literary grammarians and the rampant misuse of nearly everyone else. Contrary to popular belief, it does not mean stupid, that which suggests a lack of knowledge about everything. It means: "to not know something". We can logically link the broad definition in (2) with the the specific definition in (1). In other words, if a block of wood is comprised of splinters, then the block is as much a composition of splinters as it is a piece of wood. Notice how all three entities are not literally the same, but come together to form the same thing. To avoid deviating from the topic thread, allow me to quote Joe Pesci:

    It makes sense, don't it?
    You are saying that I am alive, again! Gee, didn't I tell you? I am alive, and doing fine! Thank-you so much for your incessant concern!

    (4) You deem me 'ignorant' through a group of words that are not a sentence.

    (5)...

    (6)...

    ...

    (198,283,489). Read (1) again.

    Hi cacian,
    The sentence I quoted is from Emily Dickinson's letter to her friend. She wants to say that it feels very good to speak to him because it offers her protection and warmth like a shelter. It is admirable that she had such faith in him.
