Say something enlightening

[SmoothBore]

After all my hard work in your lovely arcade I have accumulated 2709.7 minerals. Seeing as I don't really intend on 'spending' any of it I was thinking of giving it away. Unfortunately, I am a selfish person and wish something in return. Therefore, the first person who posts something in this thread that I deem legitimately enlightening to my person (something I haven't heard or thought of myself), that isnt also strictly a joke will recieve the total amount.
Be sure that I am being genuine with my judgement (it will be absolutely subjective) and fully intend an completing my side of the transaction should I see fit. There is no time period limit on entries, or entries per peson, simply the first entry to meet my criteria wins.

3 of my favourite quotes:

The optimist believes that we live in the best of all possible worlds; the pessimist fears this is true.
-----------------
The greater the gift, the more tenuous the balance between benevolence and malevolence.
-Khaldun T. Dun
-----------------------
Optimism:
"You're so optimistic; what's wrong with you?"

I'm not really that optimistic. I'm trying to make us survive, and in the course of survival, we don't have the luxury to be negative. That is a luxury that we can't afford, and we just have to do what we can do, and I think that instead of getting so upset with some people, you know or some countries which are doing this, doing that, 'how dare they', whatever; I just think that we should do what we can do.
-Yoko Ono; responding about her 'Optimism' involving Climate Change.

I want 2709.7 minerals.

This is a tipical example of a statement most will accept and freak out without even considering how the research could've been done...

[ItzaHexGor]

I'm not sure if you've got the true meaning of enlighten, but here's my contribution. It's not a funny or humorous or anything, it's basically what I try to live my life by.

Learn as if you're always going to live, live as if tomorrow you're going to die.

[furrer]

only people like you play so much arcade...
That was mine 8 wise words...

Here's something a bit more practical.

It's not how much money you have, it's how you spend it.

[furrer]

actions speak louder than words
April showers bring about May flowers
don't bite the hand that feeds you
haste makes waste
little strokes fell great oaks
many hands make light work

Furthermore, if he wasn't asking for somebody to say that, here is something i said a while ago:

How can you earn minerals in the arcade?

[Meee]

When you got first place on game's highscore list you earned 500 minerals (and some for 2nd place I think)

But it doesn't work that way anymore

We are all going to die someday.

Susan: "You're saying humans need ... fantasies to make life bearable."
Death: REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASIES TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
Susan: "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little--"
Death: YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
Susan: "So we can believe the big ones?"
Death: YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"Don't fart in a fan"

*And BTW, Meee, if you are saying Duty is a big lie, I would take great offense in that.

[Meee]

I was quoting "Hogfather", contact the author if you don't like it

[ItzaHexGor]

Calm down jrc3234, this is a 'say something enlightening' thread, not a 'take offense to what other people are saying' thread.

[L89]

Plus, though I think duty is important...it is not the way many countries put it...but I'll stop here before this thread becomes political.

[ItzaHexGor]

I think this thread should be moved to Space Junk.

[Meee]

I think it could be in longue, you know with all that enlightment and whatnot

Lol a siege isn't dead, just use it well :) but that is true that it can be useful in assault mode either.
These are great truths though :)

Gizmo4life please dont add sexual contents if you would be so nice (read the rules), next time Ill power you down.

[Gizmo4life]

so in the old quotes place courtesy of Gaffel Koelsch "Der Pessimist sagt: 'Das Glas ist halb leer.' Der optimist: 'Aber nicht mehr lange!'"

translated pessimist says the glass is half empty (refering to a glass of the beer), and the optomist says not any more.

laughs sarcastically

Man that is so funny...

[furrer]

Ill power the maker of this tread down for not doing his job... (which is giveing his money away)

[Hunter]

Didn't he do that already? I can only see that he hasn't got much money in his pocket.

[furrer]

At least hw should write wy and to who then!

[Hunter]

You're right, but I don't think he even logged in since months, I am gonna check it.

Edit: lol, he was in today!
I don't know wtf he's doing.

[furrer]

Playing in arcade :D

[Inside Sin]

HE IS SCAMMING US ALL!

Hahaha, he doesn't have enough posts/minerals to have the cash to pay one of us.

[furrer]

He played in arcade...

[Meee]

I find it funny that some people still even consider he might actually give the minerals away

The thread should've been moved to longue/space junk long ago

btw. inside, he has over 2k minerals in bank, he does have enough

[ItzaHexGor]

Yeah, I think Space Junk's the way to go. He hasn't returned so this is basically just a thread to post your one-liners.

[gtx75]

Fear is a word our enemies know well.

[ItzaHexGor]

Enemy is a word that fear knows well...

[Ursawarrior]

hes not going back for awarding the prize, isnt he?

[gtx75]

it takes one to know one. lol

[ItzaHexGor]

That's what she said!

[Kaaraa]

not unil I got there!

[ItzaHexGor]

I think we should all give SmoothBore a powerdown per day until he gives someone the reward. Whadaya think?

[marinefreak]

Patience is the ballast of the soul, that will keep it from rolling and tumbling in the greatest storms: and he, that will venture out without this to make him sail even and steady will certainly make shipwreck, and drown himself; first, in the cares and sorrows of this world; and, then, in perdition.

[ItzaHexGor]

^ Remember that next time you're playing Call of Duty 4. :P

[Ursawarrior]

yeah, also remember the nuke that'll pawn you

Haha Tipical.
Also, the average person eats from 5-8 insects a year. Of course it depends on your life style and where you life. So if you keep your window open at night and has a garden with lots of plants, expect some legs in your teeth.

'Yield and you can not break',
Bent you can straighten,
Emptied you can hold, torn you can mend.
Aware of this, a wise person,
Without being imflamed, is kindled,
Without taking credit, is accredited,
Laying no claim, is acclaimed.

And through not competing,
Finds peaceful competence.

-Lao Tzu
