A million dollars, huh?
Start a restaurant. Keep several hundred grand on hand for the rough times that would entail the start-up. Go see Ivy. Buy her something nice. Pay an MMA champion to beat the everliving shit out of her ex. Take a trip across the country and over to the UK to meet people here. Donate the rest to a variety of charities.

To add onto mine, share Creed's MMA expenses to get George Saint Pierre's service. And a memory-wiping stick from the MIB.

Depends on where you are. Interest rates on savings accounts in the US are somewhere between 1% and fuck-all.
Put it into a diverse bag of dividend-paying investments and you can live off of the gains while growing the initial capital (as long as you make smart choices, anyway). That or go the boring --if reliable-- route of buying up ETFs on some kind of percentage split and then re-balancing every X months. Less compounding, but better able to weather the ups and downs... theoretically.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Why thank You Cthulhu Dreaming. I should go on tomorrow and do a reputation run, giving a point to everyone who so far has not pushed a fallible claim.
As for pet keeping of the Walking Void species, You must have a small metal cage with wood chippings at the base. A steady supply of powder coke must be available.

Powder coke's for pussies. Crack that shit. If it hasn't been shoved up some dudes ass you aren't doin it right!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

That is SO part of my signature now. There.
Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die, and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

Pffft, you guys and your cocaine and crack.
Try heroin, you wimps. If it's not something you need to jam a needle into your arm to experience, it's not worth it. PLEASURE THROUGH PAIN, YOU COWARDS!
