replying by not

How do you reply a reply that is either irrelevant, nonsensical, or downright stupid without resorting to mockery?

I can't. So I am extremely silent when that happens. Or you can also say that I'm... speechless.

backchat

Are you tempted to say something that'll put me in an uncomfortable position?

Please don't. I might regret it.

losing nothing

You can't lose what you've never had, right?
...
...
Right?...

mean

You don't have to be important to someone to have the ability to hurt his feelings:

You just have to be mean.

yesterday

He looked at her. And he looked at her again.
He can hardly believe his eyes, that he's able to see her again after such a long time.

He is happy. He is glad.

But little did he know that she's not the same person from years ago.
Yes, she looks the same; sunshine-like.
Yes, she speaks the same, with a heart-melting voice.
Yes, she smiles the same; that same enchanting smile.
But she's not the same. She's not the same person from years ago.

Now, people change, I hope for the better, but yes, people do change.
I know you miss her, the her of the past. Yes, I know you miss her.

But to continue to hold on to that grief and regret, she of the past is not the only thing you will miss.
By being bitter, you will miss out on her of the present.
And you will definitely not able to see her of the future.

Yes, the past memories were sweet.
Yes, the past days were lovely.
And they're gone. Yes, they're gone.

Should one let it go, let it pass?
Should one abandon the past to be able to savour the present, and the future?
Should one abandon yesterday to be able to see today, and tomorrow?

I don't know. I don't know these things.
I only know that she's changed, and she will always change, whether for better, or for worse.

Yes, I need to deal with today. I need to know how to deal with tomorrow.
But oh, how I really miss yesterday.

respecting disrespect

You said I should respect your religion.

Now, I'm pretty confused and amused by that demand. The thing is, how am I supposed to respect your religion if you yourself disrespect it?

Do you even know what your religion is basically about? Do you even know what you believe in?

Honestly, are you asking me to respect your religion, or are you asking me to respect your ignorance?
Honestly, are you asking me to respect your religion, or are you asking me to not put you in a situation where you might have to re-evaluate your system of belief?
Honestly, are you asking me to respect your religion, or are you asking me not to make you uncomfortable with the possibility that you are wrong?
Honestly, are you asking me to respect your religion, or are you asking me to allow you to continue to be lazy?

Seriously, do you even know what you believe in?

God willing

If God wills me to live, I will live...

No, rather, if God wills me to live, I will try my best to live.

and that's how love looks like

Yeah, tell your girl that you love her, while holding your cigarette with your left hand and puffing out smoke. Tell her that you love her when she gets lung cancer from your puffs.
Yeah, tell your sons and daughters that you love em, while holding your cigarette with your right hand and puffing out smoke. Tell em that you love em when they get lung cancer from your puffs.

Yeah, berate these idiots all you want.
Complain about them.
Look down on them.

Do it as if you're doing anything to make things right.
Do it as if you're actually going to them and telling them that they shouldn't smoke in front of the people they claim to love.

Nope, that's something you wouldn't do.
Nope, that's something you'd never do.

All you want is to talk about it, to make yourself feel better.
All you want is to complain about it, as if you've addressed the issue and you've fulfilled your moral responsibility.

And that's all that you are,
And that's how you love, you hypocrite.

too late

Am a little bit sad today.

I wanted to back-up my old hard-disk (that I haven't touched for about 2 years), only to find out that it's already faulty, mechanically...

Normally I wouldn't be upset, but this piece of hardware kept my 5 years of memories, during the days when I lived most of my days on the computer/internet (Well, actually, I still am). It's like I've lost lost something, some part of me. Sigh.

Anyway, found this while clearing my disk. Something written about 2 years ago (prolly because I watched this):

Not everyone get a second chance, to make things right again,
Not everybody get to let go, stepping back to fight another day,
Not all people get to say goodbye, to pour that final heart's content,
And when it's all done and gone...

*I know it was 3 years ago, but I think I understand (kinda) now how you felt when yours died. It's late, but please accept my condolences...

none

Because he cannot bear the thought of losing anyone, he rather have none.

next

It's an awkward thing, but it's not too bad. It's a next step that I had to take, and I didn't even have to.

facts, fakes

We've never had a time in the documented history where we have such easy access to such huge wealth of facts of almost anything.

There's also was never such a time when there were so many educated people around.

It is just unfortunate that it is also now that we have so many of them who are incompetent at interpreting them...

yet, yet

I don't know which is worse: that I'm yet the man I wanted to become, or the fact that I'm not doing anything to become like him.

anything for you

You know what, I'd do anything for you.

...

Wait, now that's a scary thought.

smarter

I want to be smart enough to notice when my debate partner is pushing opposing points that are actually supportive of mine...

all talk

and much shame.

Debunked

Many people run around recycling (stupid) statements and (uninformed) observations that they think placed them in the smart people circle.
The amusing thing is that even those who opposed these people, say dumb things.

Am getting a little tired trying to push rationality down people's throat (or if I don't succeed in doing that, to make them look as stupid as possible). I think I'm gonna take a little break and just enjoy their little show.

But just in case you bump into this arrogant post, which would probably mean that we are personally acquainted, please at least read some of the articles below:

http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/911NutPhysics.HTM
http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/911NutPhysics0.HTM
http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/911NutPhysics1.HTM

Unless of course, we don't really talk to each other, or we don't talk about 'important stuff' like this.
If I know you personally and you (or me) start talking about this, and you start saying all the 'smart' things and sharing all 'intelligent' observation, I don't really like to think of you as an idiot. Worse, to have to fight the urge to correct/debunk your 'evidence.'

Now, I'm not here to say you can't believe what you want to believe in. Just don't hate me should I make you look stupid, because that's what you deserve.
If you don't check your facts, or if you delude yourself into thinking you have the basic scientific knowledge when you don't, that's what you deserve. That's what you deserve for making me feel stupid for thinking highly of you.

Unless, of course, you've thought them through and actually have a rational counter. But I doubt it.

easier

I don't like to get acquainted with more people.

Because it's harder to criticize them after that.

perfected

It's like I never existed.

What more can I ask for? How can I not like this?

This, this is perfection. Thank you.
