Quite frankly, I don't know how I discovered Sci-forum; I surfed in,signed up, and bookmarked the page, the rest, it's a mystery to me, dude.

I'm here about every 3 day.

I am permanently out of my mind as to my body's physical location, it's somewhere in the USA; now if I could just remember where I left it. I know I left my heart in Rialto, but as to the rest of the pieces, well, uh, I think I was distracted by a lovely pair of legs.

I am old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway, e.g.: 30 something (like that OLD tv series...)

Which topics (objective case) have I an interest?
Mostly Morality issues. These of course bleed into the theological issues of religion (opposed to the sociological).

I write, I post denegrations to most daily newspapers (and their inane uneducated reporters) which may or may NOT be printed, depending upon how liberal/green/stupid the editors are. I also custom design spread sheets (accounting sheets for computers that small businessmen haven't time to do for themselves (or are just flat too lazy to learn how to do it themselves--I don't care WHY they don't, as long as they PAY me to do it for them).

I think logically. It scares women.

I have two DSH puddytats that sit up and beg on command, ALWAYS come when called, and love being (mildly) abused. I used to train horses to drive, and did quite well even with Belgian progesterine drops which are noted for their abject stupidity.

Only one fact? Well here's three I despise television which is why I spend 18 hours a day on the 'puter (mostly working, and some puttering...). I believe EVERY person in the
US over the age of 21 should train in fire arms safety, practice at least ONE hour per week at a range, and carry a personal (yeah, concealed) fire arm--there'd be a LOT less hijacks (although we've only seen 4 actuals, and two attempts in the past year--there would be a lot less street crime. As to conservationists, They can buy all the land they want, and do whatever they want ON it so far as I am concerned (as to telling me what I may or may not do, well, there we have a problem).

This might be scary; reader discretion advised

1. How did you first hear about or discover sciforums.com?

Mailing list ... Dave invited those who subscribed to his AUFORA mailing list to check out his new site.

2. How often do you visit sciforums?

Oh ... f--k. Dave must be terrified when he looks at the user statistics. These days, technically, I never leave; it's the start page on every internet browser I use and before I quit my job I got used to just having the page minimized on my desktop. Habit, mostly. But every time I sit down at the iMac, I pop Sciforums out of my dock and see what people are saying.

3. What city/town/state/country are you in?

Seattle, Washington, USA ...

4. How old are you, roughly? (please answer the poll, too).

28, Gemini

5. What do you do when you're not here (i.e. occupation etc.)?

I'm trying to avoid going back to work (a noble venture), write the novel (always, always), and smoke my body weight in marijuana (what?) ....

6. Which topics in sciforums interest you the most? Why?

Religion, World Affairs, Philosophy, Art & Culture, Ethics ... not quite in that order but whatever ...

Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Well, you're sort of looking at my childhood: Religion, Politics, Art/Culture, and eventually Philosophy. The topics happen to chase after the parts of the human experience most vital to me.

7. What qualifications do you have (if any)?

Umm ... I can smoke you under the table ...?

Actually, it's the scariest thing: I have no qualifications whatsoever. I finished high school ... that's about the only thing I've finished. Even the lost novel I wrote when I was 14 & 15 wasn't finished when the forces of the Universe conspired to destroy two electronic and one paper copy of the manuscript, leaving me with nothing.

But what can I say? It's like a job interview: What experience do you have with computers? "Well, I've been around them since I was 9, used them nearly every day." Yes, but qualifications ... do you have any Word proficiency certificates? Have you taken a PowerPoint class? "No, but I considered it education enough putting those things together for the people who had taken the class."

Hey! There's a genuine qualification!

Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

I can type 80-100 words a minute. (60 - 80 with this crappy MacAlly keyboard ... can you believe an Apple store that won't sell me an iMac keyboard?)

But yeah ... qualifications? I'm a college dropout who smokes massive amounts of dope in order to hide the fact that I am the most intelligent person I know. There's one other, used to be two. But one has chosen to renounce his considerable intellecutal prowess. I'm hardly the brightest guy in the world, but it's starting to scare me how stupid my closest friends are becoming by the day.

I have no qualifications ....

8. Do you have any pets? What are their names

A cat and a girlfriend.

Okay, it's a bad joke. The girlfriend acts like a pet, though ... I can't seem to make her go away. I've tried pleading, cajoling, bribing, sneaking out the back door ... everything short of violence. It's kind of like teaching a cat to roll over and play dead.

I do, however, have a cat ... her name is Liban, a mixed-breed smoke alpha-female with blue eyes and Siamese tendencies.

9. Give one fact about yourself not already provided in the above answers

I am the Duck of Truth. (Don't ask.)

I seem to be collecting small drums that I don't play ....

thanx,
Tiassa

- I got a new job as mathematics teacher. It's really fun. Unforrtunately it's only for 2,5 days a week. So -still looking for another job.

8. Do you have any pets? What are their names?
- Finally I decided to have a cat. (even though I still got my financial problems). He's called Boender. He is about 15 yrs of age. So, when i saw him in that cage in the animal shelter, I just thought of giving this poor creature a save home for his old day. I can tell this is much better for him. He is much more vivacious, looks more healthy and generrally seems to enjoy life with me. I am very happy.

 

Merlijn

Wow, it sounds like things are really picking up for you! Im very happy for you. And about he cat... I would of done the same thing. Just think, that poor cat probably never had any happiness and now he gets to live our the rest of his life - happy! That was very thoughful of you.

1. I stumbled across these boards whilst looking for info on a 3600 mile long 'supercolony' of ants that I had heard about a few weeks ago (There's a thread here somewhere).

2. I visit the boards and have a quick look whenevr I'm online but I only post if a) I have something to say and b) I have time.....

3. I live in Scotland and am quite patriotic about it. Given that I believe in a one-world setup where there are no economic borders and everyone is treated equally my patriotism bothers me slightly!

4. I am 31 years old, which never fails to shock me (surely it was my 21st last year?!)

5. I am the Health and Safety consultant to a (fairly) large hotel chain.

6. I try to maintain an equal interest in all subjects but I have little time for those whose answer to difficult questions invokes (any) god- lower case intentional. It just smacks of the head-in-the-sand mentality that I believe is hampering our development of knowledge.

7. I got good grades in every subject I took at school, including all the sciences on offer and then in my carefree (foolish) 18 year old way I elected not to go to university immediately but to take a year out and work. Needless to say I got caught up in the joy of a regular paycheck and have still not expanded my formal studies. I have dozens of personnel, catering and health and safety quals and am a qualified trainer, but I've never checked to see whether these quals carrry any weight outside of the UK. I do, however, understand people (my time as a personnel manager).

8. I do not believe that it is right to keep pets, certainly not in towns or cities, unless they have all the space and freedom to live as natural a life as possible. A bit of a sweeping statement I know, but there you have it.

9. Let me see, one fact not shown above....

I am a bleeding-heart liberal type who believes that everyone should be allowed to do whatever the hell they please as long as their actions do not detriment any other individuals. I sometimes come across as a bit of a hippy because of this.

Oh, and tiassa , you couldn't smoke me under the table, but the chat would be interesting (to us)

 

I found it from the internet

I dunno. We will find out soon.

California Silly-con (breast) Valley.

I am a young punk in my early 20's.

Work, keep my woman happy, play with my ham radio and play with myself.

Anything. Porn perhaps.

Nothing other than RF and radiation. I bought my degree from the internet.

I had a dog once and it was delicious.

I believe my future son will be the anti-Christ.

 

I'll answer with the questions included to make it easier for me

6. Which topics in sciforums interest you the most? Why?

9. Give one fact about yourself not already provided in the above answers.
I haven't bought a computer yet, I've been spoiled growing up on massive doses of 'Star Trek', and am waiting for an affordable, semi-AI computer. In about 5 years from now, I guess? But I'll wait until after the first ones come out, since they will still be expensive & have a lot of bugs.
