I think that people are generally more sane and socially acceptable when they have friends. If you are without friends you are not really part of society. I dont think humans need friends though. Ultimately all friendships end. The desire to have friends is just an instinct designed to bond us socially with others in the interest of furthering our species. Although most of us would like to have lots of friends, theres really no point to it at all.

Im so SICK AND TIRED of all the rediculous lawsuits happening these days! Recently here in Australia some guy dived into the ocean (from the beach, not a pontoon or jetty), hit his head on a sandbar and broke his neck. The unfortunate partr is that he survived..., and sued the local counsil for millions. Granted, he was swimming between the flags, but since when is it the job of a lifeguard to warn people of sandbars? And why is the counsil resposible if a sandbar is at a beach???? Its Absurd! Ang get this: many other counisly cannot afford the public liability insurance to protect themselves from this happening agfain, so swimming will be BANNED at many beaches! Things like that make me so angry!!! Its time people start taking responsibilty for themselves.

I had to live on the street for three days a few mponths ago in order to buy a $850 guitar amp for $50. (first come first serve and only one of each item).I went down wednesday day night got no sleep. Thursday night I had to boot to Tafe for my end-of-year recital. I played Voodsoo chile (Hendrix) among other things and almost fell asleep while playing! Went back to our post on the street and got no sleep on Thursday night either. Friday was a LONG day nd I got about 4 hours sleep on the friday night.I ate plenty of good food, no coffee, no redbull and no other substance that keeps you awake. I gopt the amp DSaturday morning went home and fell askeep at 11.00am. Awoke at 9.30pm for tea and went back to sleep at 10.15pm Saturday. Awoke at 4.oopm on Sunday and was fine.Yep. thats my story.

But those factors (friction and resulting loss of energy through heat) would have little effect surely? They wouldnt have enough influence to stop the machine creating more energy than it consumes would they? esides, the machine obnly ever uses a set amount of power anyway. all what friction would do is make it take a little longer to increase the speed, right? Im sure there is a reason as to why this machine wouldnt work, but I dont think friction is the reason.

Here is the entire article I wrote about the magnetism idea I mentioned previously. The picture is a bit crude but It does the job.PART A: Here you can see how this machine essentially works. The Inner part is a wheel, attached to an axil. On this wheel, is at least one permanent bar-magnet. On the outer part, is a ring of opposing electro-magnets. These are activated in sequence, controlled by a computer system. This is similar technology to Christmas ''chaser'' lights: Only one magnet is on at any time, the moment the next in sequence is activated, the one before has been de-activated. By activating the electro-magnets in sequence, the permanent bar-magnet on the inner wheel is pushed in a clockwise direction. The magnets could be switched on/off faster and faster, but only consume a set amount of electricity. In this example, each electro-magnet consumes electricity at a constant rate of ''10''. There could be any set number of electro-magnets active at any time in the sequence depending on how many permanent bar-magnets are on the inner wheel, but for this example only one is used. More torque could be generated by having more permanent bar-magnets. Both the wheel and outer part would be made of a substance that is un-affected by magnets such as ceramic or plastic, and the inner wheel would be quite heavy, to increase momentum ounce moving.PART B: This is the computer system that controls the electro-magnet activation sequence. It would have some kind of controls that allow the rate to be increased, therefore generating more power.PART C: Attached to the inner wheel by an axil, this is the generator. On a small scale, It could be similar to a car alternator.PART D: This is some kind of device that manages the electricity from the generator. In this example, "10" electricity is fed to PART B, and any additional electricity could be fed into batteries, a power grid etc.PART E: This is a battery of some kind. It is necessary to start the machine working, after that it would be self-sustaining, and the battery could be recharged, like in a car.It is quite obvious that this machine would be HUGELY important if it worked. Large scale versions could be set up in power stations, which could replace coal, nuclear, oil and other pollution generating means of power generation. Small scale versions could be set up to power private homes or small country towns. It may have further applications such as vehicles. One of the laws of physics states that you cant get more energy out than what you put in. This machine works on magnetism which is not well understood, and I cant see any reason why it would not work.

I think its pretty cheesy when you see old movies where they simply fast-forward the footage to make it look like a person is runnuing really fast or something. The sad thing is that they sometimes still use it today!!! Its terrible!!!!!! Ive seen about three movies lately that were abosolutely APPALING. I think one was called "infested" (about flies that enter your body and turn you into a zombie), One was about a plague of infested rats or something (dont remember the name) and one was about an airport terminal that is being overtaken by aliens. All the movies are really low-budget with terrible computer-generated effects and appaling story-lines. All three movies are about a small group of people trying to beat the enemy and in the end, there is a scene where a few rasts crawl out of a hole or one alienm survives or some flies survive. As if anyone is going to make a sequal to these movies!!!! These movies went straight to Fox-tel (Australian cable tv) skipping the cinema and probably ideo/DVD too.

I couldnt figure out how to get the quote thing happening so I hope this is ok till i figure it out.*QUOTE BY: l337 Nurse Pedestrian*"It is an unusuall and abominale behaivor. It's just morally and legally wrong. (Cannibalism is actually wrong and against the law, because you have assaulted and/or killed the person you were gonna eat. If cannibalism was fine and dandy, it wouldn't be on the news. This is just for america.. I don't know about other countries)"*END QUOTE*Just because you eat another human doesn't mean you have assulted or killed them. I don't know why you say it is morally wrong. If I was stranded on a desert island, and there was absolutely no food, and I found a dead body, I may very well eat it! I am REPULSED by the idea even now, but logically I can see that a dead body is only a complex bunch of chemicals and atoms etc which I would need (in the example) to stay living. I dont think that eating human flesh is morally wrong. I DO think that KILLING people (in most circumstances) is morally wrong, even if your intention is to eat them (out of necessity or not).

With gravity we can't really manipulate the direction of the force, but we can with magnets. The idea that I thaught of is essentially; you have a ring of electromagnets with the (for example) positive poles facing in to the center of the circle. Inside, there is a wheel or disc with one (or more) permanent bar magnets attatched with the negative pole facing the electromagnets. If you made the electromagnets turn on/off in sequence you could make the disc turn. If only one electromagnet is on at a time it will only use a set amount of energy at any time regardless of how fast the magnets turn on/off (as is my understanding anyway). If the disc is attatched to a generator then the sequence could be slowly sped up until the machine is creating more energy than it consumes. The machine could be started by a battery which could later be recharged.I have a feeling that this would'nt work but I cant see why, since I am not a scientist and I haven't really studied science. I'd really like to know if this machine would work or not.

I think the idea using the Tokamac is very intersting. We obviously need to further develop our methods of creating energy. New good ideas and research should be embraced.I think there should be other means of producing clean energy though; what about things like waves or ocean currents? surely turbines could be placed underwater that would constantly harness energy. It would work night and day and all year round being pretty much constant. I think magentism deserves some thaught too; magnets put out constant force but dont seem to use up any fuel. There must be some kind of way to harness this energy!!! Infact, I came up with an idea myself that might harness magnetism as an energy source. I wrote an article about it on my site but my former host crashed, so when i have somewhere to put the diagram i'll post it all here. It probably wouldnt work (it goes against the laws of physics) but I cant see any reason why.
