Survival of the fittest. Do you think a lion would give a shit if you were in pain when it starts eating you? You do what you have to do to survive when it comes to eating stuff. The prey may be in pain whether its a plant or animal, but you still need to do it to survive.

And because some animals are lower on the food chain they produce more offspring to counteract the losses. That's why when all these keystone predators are being killed off it's really fucking with the ecosystem. The prey they hunt will overpopulate because there is no population control. Let's say the prey animal is deer. The deer will produce offspring in numbers to high to be supported by the ecosystem and they will ravage it until there is no more food left. This will create a bottleneck effect, killing off a lot of the deer population and leaving only the strongest to survive. I don't really know what this has to do with argument, I just got my mind caught up in something else related to the subject, but I don't wanna delete all that after typing it all. So, yeah.

Sorry about your trainer Phil

He's cool. He'll be at work tonight.

And hell yea, survival of the fittest. That's why I stay the fuck away from crocodiles and other angry reptiles that are much bigger than me. Also, hippos. And piranhas.

MORE THE MORE YOU KNOW! piranhas arnt going to attack you. thats a myth. if you are bitten, its considered more of an act of carelessness then bad luck. they leave humans alone. like sharks (though, think of a shark like a puppy. how does a puppy explore something? playful bites. sharks are the same way. except with those teeth, it always ends up rather unfortunate.)

sorry phil, im not trying to one up you. i just know alot of dumbass things.

Well, if you wanna go swimming in the Amazon and take your chances those fishies aren't hungry, that's all you mate. I'm not talking about attacks, I'm talking about the need to feed. A hungry school of piranhas will om nom nom.

that they will. but theres never been a documented human death because of piranha attack. they are scavengers.

that being said, id never swim in the amazon anyways. arnt there stuff in there that will swim up your dickhole and stuff? eff that. as a yeast infection survivor, never again.

however, when you enter an animals habitat, you run the risk of something happening. they say you are never more then 15 feet away from a shark in the ocean, and if i got bit, well, thats the chance i take swimming in the ocean.

I don't know why I've carried on this discussion for so long. What originally caused me to get those thoughts about the shared connection is kind of ridiculous, anyway.

"That wasn't very nice...I do believe you killed my hat."

Driver of the FIRE LINDY RUFF Bandwagon since 2008.

The 240 I just bought, I noticed it yesterday, but it's all cool since you can always find someone parting out a 240 in a city so it's an easy fix. I don't care for the back seats at all, they are useless for anyone over a foot tall.

The interior was out of the car before I bought it, because the previous owner was turning it into a track car but they put everything back in it, or what they had at least.

Also replaced the 21 year old alternator that didn't work with one that is newly rebuilt and looked brand new.

Now my decision in the future is, should I go for the SR20DET or the RB25DET and should I do engine first, or do suspension and brake work first? Decision decisions, first need a job though.

Yes, believe me, get a job first. Pay the car off and save some money, then start modding it. I've been, and seen others, become car poor. You don't want that to happen. I'm not too familiar with the older Nissan engines so I can't give advice on that lol.

Plethora of things.

Lack of money is putting a strain on the family (and myself), I miss my best friends who moved away for at least two years, my boyfriend is 3 hours away and I miss him, I hate being home, I've been sick pretty much for the past 2 weeks.

Blah.

I hope you feel happier soon. If you want to talk about your stuff, I'm a good listener (PM me if you want).
