I hope we can try to make this work in the future, but I apologize again for all the trouble I've caused in your life, and if this is really ending for good now, I'm sorry it had to be this way. But I'm not about to let something like this defeat me. Do I really want to throw away a possible future with the person I love most in the world just because it's gonna be tough for a while? Hell no. I don't know how you feel, but I'm still in love with you. You've earned my respect many times over, and I really admire you for making the difficult decision to cut ties with someone you've grown to love for the purpose of repairing the bond with your family. It's a choice I don't think I would have had the strength or resolve to make, and I stand by you all the way. So please, don't worry about me. Focus on your family, and I promise I'll wait. I will wait until your parents are okay with the idea of me being there, or at least until they're willing to give me a chance and meet me.

No, it's okay. It really is. I'll miss you of course, and if you ask me to, I'll wait. I may end up waiting anyway, and if you ever think that it is safe to come back, I will be here. I promise. If I'm upset, it's at myself. For continuing to talk to you when I knew there was a chance of you getting in trouble. That was incredibly selfish of me. I started to explain my way out of this, to tell you how you can both keep good terms with your parents and talk to me now and then, but I'm not gonna try that. I really think it is most important that you work on things at home right now. Every time you mentioned how you felt about your parents, I kinda wished you were able to get along with them, so you could have something like what I have with my parents. For right now at least, I agree that it's best that we keep from talking. I mean, I'd still be willing to talk to you via Funsubstance on occasion, for updates and such, but only if that's what you'd want.

Very well. It hurts, but I was prepared to go this route if the situation ever arose. If you think that complying to your parents wishes will help mend the relationship with them, I really do want you to try for it. If you are able to maintain a happy life at home, then maybe that will be better for you than any semblance of happiness I could give you.

I'm sorry, it just didn't sound like you at all. I didn't think you'd just say something like that and leave without allowing any kind of communication. I'm also sorry you feel that way. It is very important that you keep on good terms with your family, especially your parents. But do you actually believe that I'm the cause of your problems with your family?

I've received a couple emails from your address saying you don't want to talk to me anymore, and that our talking has destroyed your relationship with your parents. I voiced my doubt that it was actually you speaking, and I still don't believe that it is, though if it actually was I would back off immediately. The only way I'd believe it is if you tell me here, where your parents cannot facilitate anything. So, whenever you get this, was that actually you talking, and is that actually how you feel?

And the Hobbit movies are not just going off the book, but Tolkein's original manuscript of unpublished work as well.

Can't be that though, cause the letter I is already in use. "Air" doesn't fit.

A quick google search provided evidence that I believe wrong. My mistake.

As long as they don't go overboard, this isn't a bad way to raise children. When I fucked up as a kid, getting the belt was no problem, since my parents never hit hard enough to actually harm me. A little pain to help teach the lesson, since most young kids cannot be reasoned with using words. I know I couldn't be. You explain to me why what I did was wrong, that's not gonna sink in and I'll just do it again. They beat me a little, and I did not want that to happen again. This served to help keep me out of trouble until my mind was developed enough so that I could understand why my choices were wrong. They also taught against violence, and I ended up just fine.

I think "masculism"
Because feminism comes from feminine, but we don't say "femininism"

I've had this happen a lot, but usually I'll be sitting in my room at night, and I'm like
"Shit, I haven't eaten since breakfast yesterday!"
And I then proceed to go downstairs and eat the kitchen

While I do enjoy a good debate, I will admit I'm ashamed of how I said that first bit, about there being no possible way it would work. I usually make my argument respectfully, but I couldn't see how you were right and my remark came off as condescending. I apologize for that, and I thank you for being such a cool and understanding person

There we have it. Darkanhell was right this whole time, and now the rest of us look like idiots :)

I think I am finally seeing what darkanhell is saying. If you had a ring surrounding the the exit with one entrance in, while the ring itself is not connected to the exit by any walls, you would end up walking around that ring in circles endlessly, never going deeper into the maze.
Sorry bout that bro, I didn't understand what you were talking about

Daedalus's labyrinth remakes itself, and is constantly changing to hinder the one walking the path, ergo this strategy wouldn't work.

There is no maze in existence, or could there be, in which there is a separated array of walls having the entrance and exit on opposing sides while still being solvable. If it's a solvable maze, sticking to the right (or left) wall will eventually work.

The moon may have come from the Earth, but there's a very good chance that the moon was a large celestial body that collided with the Earth during the early stages of its formation, and took a bit of its matter with it when it begun to orbit afterward. This would explain both how it got there and why the dates match up, but just saying the moon came from the earth doesn't make a whole lotta sense. How else could it have gotten there, if it didn't originate somewhere else and hit with enough velocity to then start to orbit? It couldn't just fall off. That's my theory at least.
