    If we're on this planet to help others, then what are the others here for?

      "If you've never been through a matter transference beam before, you've probably lost some salt and protein. The beer you had should've cushioned your system a bit." Oh no! That means poetry is about to be perpetrated! :~

      I'm afraid you are right, see? Now the world has gone to bed Darkness won't engulf my head I can see by infra-red How I hate the night Now I lay me down to sleep Try to count electric sheep Sweet dream wishes you can keep How I hate the night :rolleyes:

            The real question is, why do you have an extra 'm' in your link? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal[^] Mine has no such 'm'. Maybe because you're across the pond? :D edit: Also, I'd never heard of that before. Interesting

                Not quite up to Vogon standards...

                If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                  You really need to work on your analytical skills. The statement "We're on this planet to help others." neither states that the "Others" are already here nor does it assert that they must be on this very planet to get "our" help, does it? :laugh:

                  Your time will come, if you let it be right.

                    Yes, but... Where you will find a poem that is dedicated to MARVIN[^] and that is talking about sheep?

                      Others have been here a long time, They already existed in Roman times as early as in 180-AD Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus wrote in "Meditations" : “We are the other of the other.” thanks OG, it's not so frequent to get Stoicism quote in TheLounge, so Cynicism and Scepticism are welcome. :)
