Okay, Mwamba, tell me why Hammers are not the supreme force.

Okay, for one. They are immune to taunting. But they are immune to anything good. They can be weilded and used. (Which makes them inferior, even if they don't care about it.) They are just as prone to being destroyed as anything else. And you know what? You might as well just put in Hammers as your insanity fic. Dare hammer/Whitewell?

*Shakes head*
The hammer is just a metaphour, a object we choose to represent all inanimate things.

Space is waste. Time is Crime.

Amem, Being alive is pointless, what do you want? What is dictated by your desires. What do you do? What is hardwired into your emotions and insticts. You are a slave, whether you realize or not.

Where is the dodo now? Gone. Soon you will all be gone, that is the day we will win, it is a forgone conclusion.

(Hammer\Whitwell is streching it, but... ANY Pairing can be done.)

And on the wall, the clock went off. A little door on the clock opened, revealing a bird: and the chime was this. Coo Coo.

You haven't answered me, my arguement still stands. You may call on Sentynel for backup.

I believe you mean inanimate, rather than animate.


Life may, ultimately, lead to nothing, but does that mean that the intervening time is pointless? Is it alright to murder, simply because death is inevitable at some point?
As for free will, technically we do have free will, based on the laws of quantum mechanics. If there is a way to predict the states of particles, then technically we have no free will. However, if, as stated in quantum physics, there is no way to predict all information on a particle, there is no way to know what action somebody will make until they make it, and therefore we have free will.

The end result is what matters; you may be eighty years old and look back and cherish your time; but in retrospect, Eighty years is nothing. When you finally die what to cherish now? Nothing. You can not cherish, you can not think, you do not exist. Sure, it's been fun, But whether you be the meanest beggar on the streets of Algeris or Alexander the Great, the end result is always the same. What is the point of achieving, then? What is the point of existing?

Life is a straight line, the illusion of free will arises when you look back and ask the defining question of Homo Sapiens: "Why? What if?" But there was never a what if; there was only one choice: The 'right' one.
Imagine this: You accidently put your hand on a burning candle, sure you can/I]keep it there, but you do not. Why? Because instinct tells you: You are hardwired to avoid pain. Life is a series of such choices, but you could have taken only one: The 'right' one.

The end result is not what matters. "The journey is the reward." Enjoy what you do as you do it, and never mind that in a few years, you might not bearound to enjoy it.

Sure, instinct governs reactions like snatching your hand away from a flame, but does it govern a choice like whether to watch TV or play on the computer? Of course not. You're not hardwired for a choice like that - you have free will.

I like hammers!

Nork.

Was the jorney fun? Do people enjoy the reward? Pain is not fun. Pleasure becomes pain. Love becomes Jealously. Joy becomes Rage. Life becomes death.

Do you watch the TV? Yes, if you are bored of the computer.
Do you play on the computer? Yes, if you are bored of the channels.
Ever desicion, in micro or macro is a clever calculation to get pleasure. A desicion is multi choiced, but circumstance, state of mind and your own knowledge and urges force your hand, at the given point in time, there was only one choice.

Obviously some people will have bad journeys, but the aim of life is to have a good journey. Some manage it.

I watch the TV for 45 minutes once a week, and that's only cos Doctor Who is on at the moment. Otherwise I never watch it.

Alright, imagine you're a scientist. You're measuring electron spin on a helium atom. You can measure one electron at a time. Which one do you measure first? There's no possible advantage to doing it either way around. Replay the event, in different universes, with a time machine, or some other way of doing it, and you'll make different choices.

To have a good jorney is exactly the point, life a pursuit of pleasure.

Doctor Who (Who?) is irrelavant to my great defense of hammers.

The scientist will measure the spin on whatever atom strikes his fancy, which in turn depends on his state of mind... he will do 'enie minie moe' and measure the atom's spin to placate the urge, no matter how frivolous it might be.

But there is no overriding factor controlling which electron the scientist measures: he has free will. And therefore, although some actions may be influenced to some degree by instinct, free will exists.

The scientist will always measure the electron that tickles his fancies, which depends on his upbriging, State of Mind, ect. The poor guy is a slave to his past and Fancies.

There's no difference between the electrons. They're identical except for how they spin, which he doesn't know until he's measured them.

You may notice how no one is even defending ninjas or pirates anymore.

Yess... Hammers have outlived them.

The electrons are irrelavant. The rapid 'enie minie moe' is.

Actually, there was some proper ninja/pirate discussion not that long ago. Hammers are being discussed just as little.

There is no overriding instinct handling the scientist's choice. He has free will.

Free will is meaningless. Hammers win. No needs, inanimate, sleek and sexy...they can't join the Illuminati or run for governor of Alabama, but that's irrelevant.
