So Hubble's law regarding the expansion of space, the observed background radiation in outer space and the calculations of element abundance, all of which point to an obvious rapid expansion of space are all crap? One example. Hubble realised, using the redshift of galaxies, that the universe is expanding uniformly in all directions. This redshift is explained by the well-known Doppler-effect: when a wave-emitting object moves away from a point of observation, the frequency of those waves appears to have decreaseed (note that the emitting frequency does not actually change). A star that moves away from earth over time emits more red light (longer wave length!). This has been observed as truth. The uniformal expansion is fact. Thus, taking a leap back in time this means that the universe has been concentrated in a very small sphere in the beginning, and that it has expanded explosively since then. And what's your theory based on?
An old survival horror game series. It could work well as a movie, since I've always seen it as a horror scenario turned game anyway. The multiple endings idea was cool though.
Naked Perfect way to spend a Saturday night. David Thewlis was brilliant!
She rejected you beforehand. That should be your cue to let it die. If you noticed that, surely you noticed that physical attraction is nowhere mentioned in his opening post as well. And leave the discussion to the thread at hand next time.
Pot kettle black etc. I'm not really bashing you; I'm making my point in a less-than-friendly way. The line's thin at times but there is a difference. For the umpteenth time, being attracted to someone generally goes beyond the physical aspect alone. You can find someone hot and still don't want to go beyond friendship. That's actually rather common; they're nowhere near exceptional. Of course not everyone speaks the truth when they say they just want to be friends but even then it doesn't mean the end of the friendship. I believe that the exceptions are what you call the rule. The majority of the people here will agree with me. Are they all lying or ignorant then? You're still young; you'll learn.
Ooooooookaaaaaaaaaaay.
Not repeating myself again.
Thank you, only person in this thread making sense.
No, you are wrong because those "exceptions" are much more frequent than you think they are. There may be a period in someone's life when attraction means little more than chasing skirts, but rest assured that a great number of people grow out of that stage, many members here among them.
If you like the original you should listen to the cover versions by Reel Big Fish (ska) and Janez Detd (pop punk). I agree with you; great song.
Why don't we stop the half-baked attempts at deliberate word-twisting as debate like adults? I said that if you're not 100% on pheromones you'd understand that there is more to attraction than physical attraction. I said no more than that and I didn't contradict myself at all (but for a laugh, feel free to try and point out where I did). I gave you three good reasons why looks alone don't cut it. Apparently you didn't bother to formulate a retort so I'll assume you don't have one. This would be a perfect time for you to admit your wrong with your dignity intact.
Hear, hear. Kicking back after hours is generally not appreciated, folks.
Four main reasons why two hot singles will and can remain friends: 1. They don't want a relationship. 2. They know all too well that they're too different and that a relationship wouldn't work out. 3. They don't have that gut feeling called "love" stirring inside them. 4. The ugly one is blind. For the record, that last one is rather a sneer at your shallow rationale than anything else. The saying "just friends" stems from the fact that there is no attraction between the two. You obviously lack experience in this or you would have known that attraction includes more than physical attractiveness alone. That is of course if you're not 100% governed by pheromones.
I'm as nihilistic as a bag of flour in a kitchen cabinet.
Given that physical attraction alone can be overcome rather easily, I regret to inform you that your plea makes no sense. Physical attraction is sometimes underestimated but it's definitely not the only factor that weighs through. As a matter of fact when you get to know eachother better it'll count for less and less.
Time to give it all a rest, people.
Quit while you're behind. As for all of you, use nice words when burning someone's ego to the ground or intervention is nigh. I won't repeat myself.
Thank you for reminding me. I kept forgetting. -moved-
Reject his ass, cruel as it may sound. Love hardly ever comes with a delay. If it doesn't feel right for you now, I don't think it will once you two do hook up. You'll end up feeling bad, and worse even when someone enters your life that you do like as more than a friend. Either way, the odds of this working out are against you. Best to get this over with now and not getting his hopes up. He deserves better than that.
Voted for Teal'c.
