Being a teenager can be confusing and frustrating... but it gets better. Wink

Better? Really? All I noticed was a more severe kind of problem. However,I've been far less confused since I realised humans are a virus from which the planet will recover sooner rather than later.4 Horsemen

I think humans are biological weapons that I would like to unlease on the entire universe. Big Grin

That reminds me of a joke:

OF COURSE Jesus was Jewish! --- 30,single,still living with his mother who thought he was God. Cool Shades






(you can also use this argument to prove Jesus was Italian, Greek or Punjabi))

The mind is the brain. Unless you're talking about some kind of non-existent mind.

Who here did not see that coming at some point when they read my post? Seriously? Tongue I'm talking about the mind, thought, the existence of consciousness which is separate from the brain.

Let me take a blender to your brain and see just how separate your consciousness really is.
