There's Always A Counterbalance
 

There are three things in this world that I believe in:

1) Karma
2) Everything happens for a reason
3) That there is some guiding parental figure out there

Now, some of you remember that a while ago, when I was walking around late night, I saw three high school students dividing lines of coke on a ciggarette box with their student ID card on the side of the highway. It kinda made me think that everything was going down the toilet, the whole "kids today have lost their innocence," thing, that we were all doomed. Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but I did feel a little bit bad for what seemed to be the deflowering of todays youth.

Today, I've got some business in the next town over, Nanaimo, and to get there I need to take the bus. I'd take the bus from my house, than once I'm downtown, I'd take another bus to Nanaimo. The thing is, I missed the bus from my place - and as I madly chased after it, there was a woman who stopped her car in front of me, and she offered to help me chase the bus. So we did. After about ten minutes of honking and signalling, (which the bus didn't see) she let me out, I thanked her, and we went our seperate ways.

So I was about a half hours walk from where I wanted to be, and I was going to miss my other bus... if not for the second car that pulled over and offered me a ride. This time it was two kids 'round my age... maybe a little older. All I know is that they were nice and listened to good rock music. They drove me all the way that I needed to go, and we went out seperate ways.

The point is that there is still good in the world, if we look hard enough for it.

Counterpoint: Forty people were murdered in the time it took for some strangers to give you a lift.

Hitchhiking is a much maligned art. I've done it a few times and I've lived to tell the tale.

Counterbalance: There were also more than 100 children being born in Canada alone.

Point: Seil. Blizzard would so hire you if you knew anything about anything, and if you were to go on their website with this thread.

So I guess just to be clear my only disagreement with Seil's post is that he thinks you have to look pretty hard to find the good and I think it's pretty easy and is everywhere.

Edit: Counterbalance: 100 Future Rapists

Balance: 100 potential DFM Popehood supporters.

And I'm not saying that you have to look hard to find the good. I'm merely stating two extremes which I've gone through.

Counterbalance: 100 potential DFM Popehood supporters.

Point: bananarama. Never in my wildest dreams did I foresee myself posting that.

Point: for those 100 children, 200 people got laid. Not taking into account multiple births.

not every person who gets raped has a kid though...so...I don't think that the math/science/logic works there...hell logic doesn't really work that much at all anyways but I suppose that's a different topic
