SETI is searching for Cylons now

In that case, neither do you, Alby.

What makes you think I won't pay taxes?

And my parents pay taxes for my public school education...other than that, I don't cost society ****.

by the way the black background breaks the confused smiley....

PS I do pay taxes, which indirectly contribute to every government expenditure.

Oh and one more thing, hearing the pornstar diss my education is pretty amusing

You must make mistakes to truly learn valuable lessons. When you're 26 you'll envy my life. I'll have done more, with less than you could imagine.

[Al B. Sure!]

In that case, neither do you, Alby.

Umm... was I the one railing about paying for anything? Was I the one that said:

glad to hear i'm not paying for it.

You're not paying for anything, HC. You're under 18. Any taxes you 'pay' are simply being withheld and you can get that money refunded if you file. (yes, I realize you're still 'paying' by not having your money now but don't be pedantic).

I actually pay taxes. I get a hell of a bargain for what little I put in but I still pay taxes

[Al B. Sure!]

MRT is 26? WTF?

[BeBMan]

Yay I jacked a thread.

I already realized people here are quick to ignore the Cylon threat.

Don't say you weren't warned...

[Aeson]

SETI is boring. We should be blasting armed probes (manned, unmanned, and/or womanned) into deep space more often. That and sending "spore pods" to likely habitable planets to see if we can god up the joint.

[Nikolai]

Cavil had a Plan. It backfired. Go Cylons. And not the least: Go us!

[MRT144]

MRT is 26? WTF?

How old did you think I was?

[Hauldren Collider]

I won't envy your short stint in porn or your herpes, trust me.

[MRT144]

I won't envy your short stint in porn or your herpes, trust me.

I came away from that a better and more well rounded person inspired to achieve more with my life. You'll probably avoid experiences that change you for the better.

[Hauldren Collider]

Some lessons can be learned from examples as well as from experience.

I don't need a life-changing tragedy or whatever to motivate myself.

[MRT144]

That's just your immaturity speaking. You're going to face life changing tragedy whether you like it or not; your aversion to risk taking is likely going to leave you worse for the wear.

[Jon Miller]

There is a difference between risk taking and being an idiot.

Of course, I will admit that everyone behaves like an idiot sometimes.

This doesn't mean it is a good thing. Or that is necessary. Or that it shouldn't be minimized.

JM
(I definitely have behaved like an idiot at times, even recently.)

[MRT144]

Ah yes, I can see Hauldren's risks in life now; Where do I apply to grad school? Should I have another pint of beer? Popped collar or unpopped collar?

[Nikolai]

Life is cruel. I would give anything to go back a few years. At least a year. Before my world kind of went to pieces.

There is much to learn from life. Not everything is pleasant.
