that is the nice thing about parables.  they can be interpreted to fit your particular lifestyle.
the allegory of the cave is similar, there are other, several ways to interpret it, as well.

do you think that the belief in a higher power can be beneficial to an individual?
kinda like offering hope.

Yes - it can be beneficial. It's a way of believing life has meaning. Actually it's been medically documented that belief in a higher power is one of the things that leads to people living longer.

Did I lock it? I didn't mean to. I will unlock it.

Edit: nevermind, it looks like someone already did.

What was or is you favorite television commericial?
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

No clue, I've never really watched TV. But I remember a couple friends once showing me an incredible-machine commercial (I think it was for a car) where they'd filmed the thing in one long continuous shot. That one was pretty cool

Black slacks, a white t-shirt with an image of a dragon fighting a griffin and the words "Dragon & Griffon Savannah" (it's a pub in Savannah). The ink on the picture changes color in sunlight. Also a bra and underwear.

Nope, no reason to be wearing socks. It's summer.

also, draggon and griffin i find somewhat ironicle.

Why?

when was the last time you visited a pub?

A couple weeks ago, before I left Texas, there was a goodbye party for company people that I went to.

Cheap rent. Money trumps fate.  ;D Plus the chance to see the good friend I'm living with. But I'll only be in Canada until the end of the summer, then I might well end up in California after all.

Only in rare situations I think. I don't know much about it but I think all the animators at Disney have to be union. But most studios have nothing to do with unions and I certainly never heard anything about it at the one I worked at.

The game industry needs unions, the working conditions are crap. The film animation industry's not much better.

sony is in woodland hills california.

i had a friend, years ago, who was on the ground floor with that (sony games).  i wonder if i could look him up.

the reason i asked about unions is because whenever any of the the local unions are locked out or on strike, the longshore union gives them temporary casual cards.  they make up to about a grand per weeki.
