You get Lucentia! *inserts a Time-manipulation Epic who mysteriously vanished*

When I first realized that was you dressed as Pattern at the midnight release... *facepalm*

You could always use the default "Hope 2nd Coming Happens First" plan and hope for the best!

*hug*

I would love to toss in my two cents, but I can't really do so as thoroughly as I'd like because reasons time. But I can offer a couple views. I believe that yes, a natural human government will inevitably deteriorate towards corruption. My preferred solution would be a... deiarchy? Basically, rule by God. But that won't happen until the Second Coming, and I don't know when that will happen, so for now I'll settle for a republic.... so long as that republic is run by honest, good men. Which leads us back to point one, unfortunately. By the way, I do wholeheartedly support the Constitution (I'd consider myself a Constitutionalist). I believe it is a divinely inspired document, but that it was meant for a religious, moral society. Which we're drifting farther and farther from every day. Ah, gun control. I'm with Twi here. Ideally, there would be no need for guns (outside of hunting). But as that's sadly not the case, I believe guns, as long as they're used responsibly, should be allowed. Also, see the 2nd Amendment. Basically: don't ban guns or restrict them to the point of uselessness, just teach people to be responsible. It's perfectly logical, I think, to have regulations. Just don't take it to an extreme.

Movie night! Yessssss! I only have Netflix, though if we found a movie we all had...

No... I don't generally follow the news... That sounds pretty intense.

Fair enough, I suppose.

As far as I am aware, providing real-world examples as part of the conversation is not against the rules in any part of the forum.

You get an upvote! *inserts Diet Coke*

There is a part in the Book of Mormon where Nephi is commanded by God to slay Laban because "it is better for one man to die than for an entire nation to perish in unbelief." (paraphrased) Does this mean that God is then irredeemably evil?

Well, it is Random Stuff, after all. Thanks!

Bonus points if you watch a Mythbusters episode in Astronomy about the moon landing.

You get Steelheart's nose hair! *inserts cheese*

I agree that he could've told Wax directly. But the thing is, would Wax just take Harmony's word for it? Wax has made clear on several occasions that he really did not like the city. He was just fine with the Roughs and had no desire to go back. Also, I never got the sense that Harmony compelled the kandra to serve him. It's only when they were a clear and present danger (like Paalm was) that he took control of them, or when the fate of the world hung in the balance (like maybe if there was an invading Shard).

I NEEDS IT NOW, PRECIOUS.

You get a hungry whitespine! *inserts boxing*

That it is. Michael J. Sullivan is fantastic.

I'm sorry, but... WAFFLES. That is all.

When you're stargazing and consider all of the satellites and planes and things to be starspren.

Well, I've probably got a Utah accent, given that's where I live. Moun'in. Wadder. Bu'on. T's are practically non-existent in this state. And don't even get me started on "acrosst". Heck, those might be universal things. But I do know one of my friends from Cali was spent annoyed at Utah's pronunciation of things.

Collective Soul's new album. ...what? You expected me to listen to someone else for a change? Silly.

Cool! You were there? Harmony dangit.

Okay, WOW. My sister, after not washing her hands after using the loo, just popped in my room and said "Germophobe!" Normally, I'd only be mildly annoyed at this rudeness, but she grabbed my doorknob with her still unwashed hands. GAAAAHHHH.

Thanks! And *hypersonic fanboy squee* as well!
