Lol the Republican denied Obamas gun proposal What the hell, all he wanted to do is expand background checks. I honestly fear the stupidity of Republicans.
What do you think your Basilmarket reputation is? Most people who have been on basil for any length of time have a certain reputation that goes with them. What do you think yours is? I think mine would just be that I often post threads about my opinions, which many people disagree with. I also complain a lot.
I think Im too empathetic I don't really feel any emotions besides empathy. I'm not trying to be some edgy teen or anything, I've just felt completely indifferent about everything since around 9th grade, and it's gotten worse since graduating high school a few months ago. What's also gotten worse is how I feel about other people. I used to be one of those idiots who could easily say 'I don't care' about anything and everyone. Recently though, I've been putting myself in other people's shoes whether I want to or not. No matter what someone does, I feel bad for them. I mean, unless it's a good thing of course. Someone could cuss me out and then I imagine something like "Wow maybe ____ had a bad day." and immediately I imagine them g
For Legend Of Zelda fans So, I've ordered the "Hyrule Historia" book from Amazon. I'm sure a few of you have already gotten it, or maybe not, but I kinda wanna write a review of it on Basil if there are enough fans. I'll get it next Tuesday, so I'll be able to review it around Wednesday or Thursday, depending on how much time I can devote to it. Sure, it's pretty lame, but this is my favorite game series, so I'm willing.
Christians say that everything happens for a reason, right? If someone saves somebody they always give god credit, right? Example: Woman: Thank you for saving my son from that burning building! Man: No problem, Just at the right place at the right time! Woman: See, Henry? God was looking out for you! Henry: What? Is that guy god? Well, he doesn't really say that, but nonetheless. If God is control of everything, he's also in control of murders. By your logic, murderers should not be punished, it's simply an act of god, and his will, correct? But no, if it's a good thing, rather than giving credit to the person who did it, you give credit to god. But if it's a bad thing, that person needs to die in hell, because he's evil, right? I'm not try
Help, I think Im depressed. For real. Since September, my life has been going great. I've gotten a lot of things that I want, almost as soon as I ask. Nothing I get seems to make me very happy for long at all. I tried to set a goal the beginning of the year (when I was happy), to make sure I kept trying. The goal was a 4.0 GPA. Now that I'm so easily achieving this with little to no effort at all, It's kind of boring. My classes are too easy, and I can't get put into higher leveled classes. I get almost everything I want, but nothing keeps me happy for any length of time anymore. I don't enjoy doing much of anything anymore.. What can I do to cure this depression? :(
1 month and 4 days left. Until the supposed end of the world. How are you going to spend your last month?
What was your Act score? For anyone who took it. I'll make it a poll, but I'd rather read your individual stories if you have the time. I only took it once in school last year... apparently that's supposed to be the hardest one you take. I didn't really study or prepare, I was one of those idiots that thought "wow I'm super smart I'll ace this and get all that scholarship cash" I took it and expected to get low 30's, no joke. I really thought I was that smart... probably a dumb move on my part. I got the results back and got a 27. I was pretty disappointed, but still ended up making the third or fourth highest number score, and was one of the only two 27's. Most actually got below 20, but they probably didn't take it seriously. Th
Good gaming Youtubers again I'm in another boredom spike. I should be doing homework or something productive, but I feel so unmotivated and want to just sit around and watch other people do stuff. Anyways, here are my current favorites so you get a better idea (in no order) Jontron (yeah) Peanutbuttergamer (he does some stuff) GameGrumps (idiots playing games and it's somehow entertaining) Yuriofwind (pretty cool retro/cancelled game/ creepypasta videos) Danger Dolan (top 15 things) Matthew Sontaro (dude who does trivia junk) Anyway, there's also a few I keep meaning to try out, and a few I never want to see ever again. I won't watch Pewdiepie, or Markiplier, or Tobuscus, or SmoshGames. I'm about to try Cryaotic...hopefully he's okay. Of co
The transformation of youtubers I'm starting to really, really dislike youtube. The service itself is great, but it changes the people who make videos. Creators will start of being very nice, and genuinely appreciative of their audience. They'll take constructive criticism and even listen to fan requests. By the time they get to around 100,000 subscribers, they're just an all around great person. They've listened to the fans, changed the content accordingly, basically that person would easily maintain their fanbase for however long they want. Then they get greedy and want more. They start to sell out or copy the behaviors of other youtubers (ex- Markiplier--> Pewdiepie). They start to do 'extra' stuff, which takes away from their youtube
Math help I'm just going to admit that I'm an idiot. I have no idea how this simplifies I know you set up a common denominator for the bottom half, it becomes sin^2x + cos^2x/ cosxsinx. Then you cross multiply cos/sin by cosxsinx/sin^2x+cos^2x It... doesn't do that. It become something way different...right?
Im too smart- I hate being smart I'm easily the smartest Sophomore in all of my classes. I'm not saying the smartest at all, but most of my classes are far too easy, and my teachers don't seem to understand why I get bored of it. I don't really even think it's my fault, I just think everyone else is so stupid that I just seem really smart by comparison. I'm sure a [b]lot[/b] of people on Basilmarket are far smarter than I am, but these kids even put the best trolls to shame. I feel like I'm in classes meant for special education students 90% of the time, and the other 10% is only when I'm reassured by a couple small bursts of reason from an acquaintance. But like I said, I'm probably not the smartest in my school by any means, but out of So
Our next doomsday event? 12/21/2012 was really big, and I honestly loved looking forward to it to prove people wrong. It kind of made time go by faster, since there was something to wait for. We need a new one, so I want you all to research ancient stuff and whatnot, and tell me when. Because I'm too lazy.
Your favorite Hot pocket flavor Yeah, I went there. I prefer Philly Steak and Cheese... it's so good.
Why do people treat depressed/ suicidal people like idols? Seriously? Why are suicide 'victims' talked about like heroes? In my opinion they're weak people who can't deal with things that others can. There's no reason to idolize them or look up to them. If you're depressed, it's one thing. Get over it. You may say 'easier said than done', and that's true, but there's no good reason to end your own life, and no excuse to those who do. If you're suicidal, you're just an idiot to me. Sorry, but it's true. Maybe I'm a bit blunt about my opinion, but what's yours?
I disagree with how American Soldiers are treated I don't think they should be worshiped like they are. They're honestly no different from serial killers, except the people they kill are considered enemies. I'm not saying we shouldn't thank them, but we shouldn't act like what they're doing is a great thing.. I honestly can't be the only one who has a view like this.. am I?
