Honestly, it depends on the animal and the person they're with. In fact, I would argue that an animal's personality and behavior is largely influenced by the owner, especially if they are naturally sensitive. My horse was a jackass, but when the bullet (or my head) hit the road, he came through...

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I had an intensive college exam to study for, but that's over now. Anyway, carrying on. A relationship with yourself isn't a relationship. A relationship presupposes there is another being in order to have a relationship with. Buddhism is an atheistic...

On the topic of whether existence exists, I cannot help but ask you this question. "If you say you do not exist, who shall I say is asking?" OP: I sometimes get like this when I sit in my room, silent and staring at the wall, and just think. It's in the quiet when you can hear the clearest. I...

Because it is easier to hate than to think. 1. I don't know what that is. 2. Please keep in mind there is a great difference between hate and disapproval. Most of those who oppose homosexuality do it out of disapproval, not hate. 3. Though dislike would probably be a better word for the...

That indicates I'm not going to touch it. XD I considered writing "Wait until you get married" but decided against it.

Indeed, sir. I got out earlier though. I do not regret my decision in the least. The ice to the balls did not happen to me though. >__> I was simply shunned. Since I was generally oblivious to my surroundings, everyone laughed at me behind my back, but thankfully, I never really noticed it.

1. Revelation 3:16 - So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. God does not approve. Nothing does quite so much damage to the effectiveness of Christianity as places like Westboro. 2. Without God, there can be no morality (as in, a fundamental...

I will let C.S. Lewis answer this, since he was such an eloquent fellow. "God, in the end, gives people what they most want, including freedom from himself. What could be more fair?" God is perfect, therefore His domain is perfect, and He cannot tolerate sin in His perfect domain (heaven)...

I read so many manga online it would be useless to list them all, but if I could afford it, there are some few I would buy. (Yes, I do like historical settings.) D.Gray-man Vinland Saga Masca The Breaker Cesare Otoyomegatari Vagabond The Ravages of Time

Make your own eggnog. Store bought stuff is nothing like the real thing. I've only seen it cold. It needs to sit for a couple of days in the fridge after being made for the flavors to deepen, so it's cold by necessity. I've used brandy, but traditionally, it's bourbon. (After all, the...

Watch the 1995 Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. It's much more enjoyable and the acting is superb. I watched it twice just today I enjoy watching it so much. (Don't get me started on the Kiera Knightly version. I try to forget it exists.) OT: Oh, several. The most...

I will be honest. This line of thinking boggles me. You say the Big Bang, the ultimate example of something so astronomically improbable randomly happening, isn't random, whereas thoughts are? It makes no sense. John Polkinghorne said of the first three seconds of the universe, "The ratio...

I've done this, except replace games with Photoshop. It is odd, realizing there is no saving with paper. >__> CTRL-Z! QUICK! OT: You know you've played too many games when you gaze at the general populace and wonder how creatively you can kill them all before anyone catches you. Or is that...

Knife left, fork right. Strangely, I do most thing like I'm left handed because it feels more comfortable to me, even though I'm not. I play billiards left handed. It never occurred to me to do differently. Eating is the same way. It feels more comfortable to cut with the left hand, probably...

You are wrong. Demographically, humanity is dying faster than it is being replaced. In order to keep the population equal, not even bothering about expanding, but just equal, a couple has to have 2.13 children to replace them, known as Replacement Fertility, (2.13 because of child deaths)...
