No although I would like to smoke a pipe, if only they would invent tobacco which isn't addictive and doesn't make you ill. And maybe had some beneficial or amusing side effect. I need a bubble pipe.

Star trek is a bit weird, a lot of it doesn't make sense. The Culture I think is more probable, a lot of civilisations blow themselves up, some don't and end up at the point where there are more than enough resources to go around and so people don't fight for things simply because they only...

Religion and science don't argue well, because one is based on faith and one on observation, so all the premises and methods are different and it's kinda like comparing apples and the concept of compound interest. There isn't much you can compare well.

Doing grand, life steadily improves, communication improves, inderdependency of nations helps prevent wars, you can travel from one country to another without being shot, a lot of us live longer, have good healthcare, good food, education. Doubtless eventually this state will spread to more...

At the Mountains of Madness. Archeological expedition encounters millions of years old alien civilisation with supernatural abilities and horrible magic powers, it's written from a highly scientific perspective and very nicely illustrates the point of most lovecraft books, which is that...

The point of digital storage is that you don't lose everything. Digital films don't degrade over time or through use, digital text can store whole civilisations worth of data in a few servers and most importantly, it can be copied to other servers near instantly, no centralised facility to...

If you're cogniscent of her desire to 'find herself', I don't really see why she would need to leave you. Surely it would be in both your interests to work through it together?

You'll get over it, you might get over it faster if you can be super rational about it but even without that eventually it will become less important. The passage of time is a pain occasionally but it does have its perks. You might consider looking for a friend in a girl rather than a...

No you aren't, people do not get murdered by girls from the internet, or at least most people don't, maybe one or two people do, but you are extremely unlikely to be one of them. As I said, this is quite inconsequential, the worst you will get is some unwanted attention, which can be...

Future you is totally awesome. Pretty much any time in the past.

It doesn't really matter what you do, the worst she might do is go insane and stab you to death in your sleep but that's really unlikely and you'd be dead afterwards and therefore not in a position to care. The worst think you're likely to effect is a hissy fit, which you can simply ignore...

Considering the GCSE literature syllabus I had to do, one less poem is a blessing. Now if they could only get rid of the other ones and replace them with some good poems we'd be golden.

Can't really think of any. I have plenty but I can't think of anything that is particularly secret or promimnent, it'd be probably be easier to say anything that doesn't involve seriously injuring people or defacation is attractive in some way. Morally objectionable or aesthetically...

Gun. Preferably attached to a star destroyer. And pink.

Depends greatly on the person. Different philosophical and political views are not neccesarily problematic, I get along famously with a girl who is an environmentalist, future pessimist, rational control freak who takes philosophy quite seriously while I'm an exploititve, transhumanist optimist...
