Ever Have a Fall-Out With a Close Friend? Hey Basil, I just came back from vacation which would have been great had there not been an incident with a close friend of mine. While I definitely played a role, I never pressured my friend into doing what caused all the commotion and it was still his choice. Wherever the blame goes, it ended up really shocking and hurting the people his lives with, especially his girlfriend of 2 and a half years and his trust with his parents. He isn't angry at me but the way things are, it's just best if we don't talk so assuage the fears of his girlfriend and family. All in all, this is a person I talked to on a near-daily basis and I would consider a very close friend of mine and it's just so weird to realize

A Challenge for All Atheists I bet I can convert you with this completely rational argument that's sure to stump even the most pretentious of you. I can't wait to see the faces on you aTHEISTS after you get a hold of this conclusive proof: Before we begin, I think it only proper to define the term "God." When I say God, I think of a being which is perfect in every way. This is not a matter of dispute but of definition. That is, if you were to show me a being that is not perfect, we would not be talking about "God" but some other being or entity. This, I think, is not a controversial thing to say, for we are merely defining a concept, nothing more. Now then, how can we say that a being that is perfect [i]does not[/i] exis

What Weird Things Are You Into? Recently I've become really into watching fatal car crashes. My favorites are the ones where the cars get completely obliterated and you know the person driving the car didn't survive. Seeing the cars get smashed in less than a second and realizing that they couldn't even process the idea of death fully is awesome. I can't even imagine what that must be like. Other morbid videos like people committing suicide or fights without any rules also capture my attention. It's just shocking to see how close to death we often are and how savage human beings can be. Accidents are everywhere and it's amazing to see first hand how we're nothing more than bones and skin. One bad accident and a machine has dissected your bo

Is La Dispute the Worst Band Ever or What? I wanted to like La Dispute. I saw a poster for them and it read "LA DISPUTE" and involved hardcore music. If you know me you'd know that I love ignorant, aggressive hardcore music and LA Dispute sounded like an awesome band that I'd enjoy! Turns out they sound like a bunch of beta white kids that have been injecting themselves with estrogen: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9kg_pe-lUU]Seriously.[/url] Apparently the album is based on some Chinese myth or whatever. What some white kids from Michigan are doing trying to do a concept based on that is beyond me, but their other songs also suck.

Simple Steps to Get Girls Sup Basil, have some free time on my hands so I'll do a thread giving pointers to fellow Basilers on how to talk to girls. The stuff in this thread will be simple, basic stuff--but sometimes it's the hardest since there's a lot of really bad information out there and if you're inexperienced, what your gut tells you could be really wrong. I hope this helps some of you guys out! [header]The Most Important Thing[/header] A lot of people will tell you that the most important thing is to work out, get better clothes or improve your personality, but the truth is, none of those things matter at all if you don't follow the first step.

A Conversation About God Hello all. I'm working on a short story at the moment, it's called "Broken." As the title suggests, it's about a group of broken people at a dingy bar, discussing their lives after living lives of failure and extreme hardship. Talks about failed relationships, ambitions and unforeseeable misfortunes are all dealt with and of course, fate and religion come into play as people try to make sense of the world around them. This is just an excerpt but I want to get some feedback on what you think about the dialogue and some of the ideas presented here. Let me know what you think: "I used to believe in God. I really did. Put my faith in Him, believed that He knew the way. Nowadays I can't help but think that

The Big Pet Guide Part 1 Beginner to Intermediate Pets Hello Basil, welcome to my Pet Guide. Here I will discuss various pets you can own, what to expect, start-up and maintenance costs along with the general skill level involved with their proper care. I believe that when you purchase a pet, you have a responsibility to the animal to provide it with the best possible enclosure and care possible, so this thread will deal with unconventional but ultimately highly beneficial care for your pets. To help people chose the pet that best fits their schedule, I've devised a series of tiers based on cost, time required to maintain them, how advanced their care is, along with other considerations that may come with the animal or their enclosure.

Why I Think Bush Was the Worst President When El-Quida attacked the U.S. because they hated our freedom and liberties, America had a chance to really punish them for it. But instead of doing what was reasonable, Bush went against all expectations by starting that misguided war--The Afghanistan War. Bush had the option to punish the freedom-haters by ensuring that everyone of their members was free to do what they wanted and give Afghanistan the freedom to chose its own leaders and form of government. Instead, we forced them to bend to our will, accept our institutions and have us make their choices for them. He gave people that can't bear to be free the oppression they crave in their deprived, backwards minds. He had such a great opportunit
