I don't believe I'm capable of the "love" emotion. Even my parents seem to think I'm some kind of robot or space alien.
Do you believe in true love and finding the one?

Dan Savage knows where it's at. I think he's probably on the money.
At 3:26 : "The One does not fucking exist. The One is a lie". It gets a little more cheerful and optimistic after that bit though.

If you look outside of a window now and see a masked man with a chainsaw, you and anyone close to you will be dead by sunrise.
Why is saying a human has a superior intellect to an animal so funny to you? That's not a subjective opinion - it's a fact. We aren't talking about morals here - we are smarter than animals...... apparently this is news to you?NoblePhilistineFox said:
I can't talk about love until I get my mind straight and get some balls to ask other people out.
Else I'll never even have the chance of it. We create our own destiny I believe.

there are a LOT of people on this planet. -multible bilion-
odds are, there are multimple people VERRY right for you, and maybe even -multiple but less- perfect for you.
there is no 'THE' one. but there are multiple great people who you should willinglike to share your life with. the trouble. is finding these people.
odds are again, you wont.
what you might find is a nice girl or guy with flaws and imperfections here and there, and things you disagree uppon. believe me when i say, please just take these people and see if you can make that work. SO much more rewarding, especially because sometimes, the chase is an adventure, and good for you as a person.

Note that "the one" doesn't necessarily equate to there being only one person who's 'perfect' for you - the odds are that there's quite a lot, but you'll never meet any of them. When I think of or hear "the one" I take it to mean someone who you would want to and could quite happily spend the rest of your life with, not that they're necessarily the only one with said attributes.
Whilst I do believe in true love because I'm an optimist, I'm also a realist, thus believe that very few people will ever find it, and it's unlikely I ever will either. Most of us will be happy to find someone almost perfect, and work out the differences as and when they surface, to "make it work" as someone said earlier.
Note that true love doesn't have to be mutual, either.

define smart. we are more naturally inclined to science and machines, which grants us world domination over all 'lesser' animals. is it smart though? in my oppinion, no.SonicKoala said:
animals all had a natural balance with one another. and with us. till we invented balistic weapons that is...
Eh, I'm not entirely sure it exists. I think love is an idealistic concept, in reality it's really more about convience.
"Well, you're modestly attractive and I don't despise you, yeah I guess I could see me spending my life with you"
Of course I'm jaded and incredibly cynical, so my opinion is suspect.

Being said by a guy called "the hat", that means quite a lot thank you my good sirthahat said:i tip my hat to you sir and feel like a kindred spiritJakey_TheSnake said:, and strangely enough something tells me that you, eventualy, will find someone who thinks your the one for them
and that is the dream one can only hope it becomes reality >_< alas I fear there will be much pain 'ere they are found, and I hope I am in a position to return it when the time comes. A more interesting question, perhaps, is what's the difference between the true love of a friend, and the true love of a partner? I have a few people whom I love as if they were my own family, but what separates them from the other half of said emotion? We can certainly feel a distinct boundary, but how do you explain it, and what causes it?

I like you ^_^
Basically, the human race is a disease without a purpose, we kill and consume and spread.
and why do we do it?
because some sort of "magic genie" guy told us too.
sounds pretty smart to me.
(for the record, im not ripping on god because I dont believe in him, im making fun of the fact that people take it as a divine truth rather than what SHOULD be learned from the book)
Well, if it's not "smart", then what would you define it has? It is because of our significantly greater intellectual functionality that we have been able to accomplish so much in the areas of science and technology - we process information and are able to contemplate complex topics in ways which are unseen in any other species on this planet. If that's not smart, then I don't know what is.thahat said:
The ability to maintain equilibrium with one's environment is hardly something I'd consider "smart" - literally every organism on the planet does that naturally. Humans are really the only ones who haven't been able to establish such a balance - I would argue that it is BECAUSE we are so smart that such a balance has not been struck; our superior intellect is both our greatest attribute and our greatest flaw, but that doesn't change the fact that the superior intellect is still there.
