a little food for thought series

Film:The Prestige Cutter: Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"." Robert Angier: You never understood, why we did this. The audience knows the truth: the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you... then you got to see something really special... you really don't know?... it was... it was the look on their faces...

Indeed. The OP's posts are just too much spaghetti.

I don't remember signing a waiver to be experimented on. Do I get reimbursed?

Also, does that mean you are learning how to socialize? You know what they say... you don't really fail, you just learn another way how not to succeed.

we can be hooked up to news machines all day telling us something new, but if we just keep being bombarded with the new stories, we won’t have time to think about the old ones.

Exactly. Now before you move onto your next story, think about what the quote you just posted really means.

I recommend not posting until you have something worthwhile to post. Have an original thought or post something newsworthy (and consider your target audience when you consider what may be newsworthy to us) rather than quotes from movies. Just because you can post does not mean you should feel compelled to do so. This is not Facebook... we don't want to hear every quote you thought was deep, unless perhaps you add some relevant insight into it and how it relates to us. Also, humor is generally well received here, as long as it isn't a repost and it is actually funny. But "here is some quote from some movie you've probably seen" is not really something I think the rest of us want to see every day.

They are mostly looking at articles. Or they are search bots. I doubt there are 20,000 people looking at the Lounge right now.

Nope, you're more likely just annoying about 20 guys and 5 girls, and entertaining 1 person (yourself).

Create a group on Facebook called "I bet I can get one million users to join for ..." and fill in the "..." with whatever you like. More than likely a shitload of people will join just because of the first part of the title. You can then spam them as much as you like (until they defriend you). A better idea would be to not spam any forum. Or maybe create your own website called JoinThisWebsiteIfYouLikeToBeSpammed.com.
