    BAM

    So it seems to me that everyone here thinks that BAM is more then one being. Has anyone thought that maybe its a child of all three shards on Roshar? Or maybe a child of Honor and Cultivation and then infuenced by Odium. I mean there is 3 parts to the name and 3 shards on Roshar? Thoughts anyone?
  3. Ok so I recently reread BoM and I'm slightly confused on one part. Why did Hoid give Wax a metalmind of Kelsier's memory? We know that Hoid and Kelsier aren't friends so chances are he isn't doing it to help him. So why?
  4. I'm back!!! Sorry for the inactivity. So hows everyone doing.

  5. I feel like Wayne would win this because he can heal. So because this is fairly even Wayne would win just because he could outlast Spook.
  6. Ok then. I will give you a 8/10 mainly because I would rather eat my nachos and not have them taken.
  7. @Shard of Reading Do you want me to rate your signature or has yours already been done?
  8. Tastes like McDonalds. WTWTTSW your teacher asks why your looking up how to make cocaine
  9. I'm going to say that if Wax got the jump on Kelsier then Wax would win. But otherwise Kelsier.
  10. My heck Truthless. My friend may or may not have blocked me after that.
  11. Could I get a dare kind people?
  12. Same. When you leave the shard for a few hours and your phone blows up with notifications.
  13. First off thanks to everyone who responded, it really opened up my mind a bit. And given me a lot to think about. See jail is a good option but people can still do bad in jail. People get killed in prison all the time. Sorry I'm a very messy person. I'm all over the place and get sidetracked a lot. I define killing in this situation as ending someone's life with the intent of ending their life or the intent of causing physical pain. You say we can not willingly end the Human race. To this I say Nuclear warfare. But aside from that on something that has actually happened. Adolf Hitler willingly tried to kill off some of the human race (Jews) just based off of their religion. I really like ethics, morality, and right and wrong. Unfortunately the closest I can get to learning this in school is my sociology class. But I have done a great deal of research on my own. I am choosing not to kill. But if you chose not to kill someone and because of that choice someone died you, you may as well have killed them. Sorry again if this is all over the place. I'm A.D.H.D and sometimes don't think things through. So I understand if I am not conveying this very well. I don't know what happened to the quote boxes sorry.
  14. Ok I had a very interesting conversation during lunch and I want to see what you people think of this. This is going to be kinda long so sorry if it's intimidating. Where does morality stand on killing people? We say killing is bad. People that want to kill other people are insane and evil. Well my friend said "I want to kill people. Because if he didn't then the people he would kill would kill other people. You wouldn't be here if we (we being people not my friends and I) didn't kill people." Well I would like to break this down into 3 parts. 1. The fact that we say killing is bad. 2. If we didn't kill people those people would kill other people. 3. We wouldn't be here if killing never happened. 1. The reason we say killing is bad is because of morals. Which are decided by society. Why does society say killing is bad. Is it the fact that you are ending another humans life? Well why do we say that's bad but it's ok to kill animals? You could say that animals don't have a conctiouse but in a way they do. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to adapt to their surroundings. They can't adapt as fast as we can and they may not be as evolved as we are but they can adapt. Maybe we say killing is bad because of religion. Because some powerful force that we can't see says so. Now I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day saints. So I believe in god and Jesus and the fact that there is something bigger over us. Now I do have some interesting views on that but I won't go into them. If you want to hear that rant PM me Back to my rant though. So if we say that god or some other being says killing is bad is that why we don't kill? 2. My friend said that he wants to kill people because if he didn't kill people those people would kill other people. While that might be true. Does it say its right. And what is right and wrong. Again back to religious views. So rather then say more about right and wrong I'm going to ask what would you do if someone held a gun to your head. You could kill them or they could kill you. I think most people would choose to kill the other person but I could never kill someone else. I would choose to die. I mean it's my life, the one thing I have control over. I could chose ot die right now BUT THATS A BAD CHOICE SUICIDE IS BAD TALK TO SOMEONE IF YOU ARE DEALING WITH THIS. But now if someone said I had to choose between killing someone or my friend dies then that would be hard for me. Either way someone dies and I would go insane from moral greif. So and its this endless paradox unless there is a time limit then they would probably both die and I would go more insane from moral grief. 3. If we people didn't kill other people we wouldn't be here. What if the only reason you were born is because your great great great great grandpa got killed and forced your grandma to get remarried and have your great great great grandpa or something like that. It's a fair point. So I'm not supporting killing but I want to hear your thoughts on this.
  15. Hmm. Guess I gave away too much. Thanks for the effort. I approve.
  16. You know I'd like to see if anyone can do me. I don't think anyone can!!!:)

  20. I agree with number 3.
  21. It has been 7 years since my friend's older brother committed suicide. I never knew him but I heard stories, and he seemed like a happy, funny, kind and ordinary person. Everyone is fighting a battle that you don't know about. I'm going to list off some facts about suicide. About 800,000 people a year commit suicide. That's about 1 person every 40 seconds. If we say that every 40 seconds 1 person dies then.... In 2 minutes about 3 people commit suicide. In 30 minutes about 45 people commit suicide. In a 50-minute class period about 75 people commit suicide. In a 6-hour school day 540 people commit suicide. In 8 hours about 720 people commit suicide. In 12 hours about 1080 people commit suicide. In a day about 2160 people commit suicide. If we assume that. Remember to help others, you might never know if the last thing you said to someone will be the last thing you ever said to them. If you need help with something or a friendly conversation. Please don't hesitate to talk to me. I'm always here and willing/wanting to help. Please talk to someone if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or suicide or if your just struggling or having a hard day. Please talk to someone. If you know someone struggling please help them and help them get the health they need.
