anyone tries.  YOU have to change the way YOU see them."

practiced, especially when the end-result is good.  Choose them wisely."

heart."

>16. "Mainstream thought only undermines the values set forth in the

>Constitution of the United States.  This is America, do what you want to,

follow your own rules."                                    - Victor

>

>23. "Words cannot offend you unless YOU let them."

>24.  "You can only sign off of life once."

> - Victor

>

>25. "Marijuana, our safe, natural magic.  Use it responsibly and in moderation,

don’t abuse it."

> - Victor

>

>26. "Is it just a coincidence that two naturally-occurring substances in our

natural world, humans and marijuana, have a certain reaction when mixed?  Is it

just a coincidence that we have THC-receptors in our brain, naturally?  It is

here for us to use, responsibly though."

> - Victor

>

>27. "Don't you think if all the world leaders got together and smoked some

weed, everyone would just chill out and stop torturing and killing innocent

people?  Hey, they didn't call them peace-pipes for nothing."

> - Victor

>

>28. "How many gods are there?  Oh, just one?  Well what about all those

polytheistic religions in Asia that believe in more than one?  Are they just

damned to hell for believing in the wrong thing?  Who the hell is right?"

> - Victor

>

>29. "I believe that when I die, I will be dead.  I will cease to exist.  I

won’t be around to care if I went to heaven or hell.  Dead people don’t give a

shit about anything.  When I tell people this, they go, "Well then, what’s the

point of life?"  Who says life has to have a point besides doing what you want

to do and using the time you’ve been given wisely?  Don’t worry, be happy."

> - Victor

>

>30. "What’s the point to marriage?  I don’t need a legal, binding contract to

feel bound to someone for the rest of my life.  If the trust and loyalty is

there, what’s the point?  Marriages cost money and so do divorces.  If you’re

going to remain married just because you can’t afford a divorce, what did you

get married for in the first place?  And it is a proven fact that people

sometimes change and you can’t, or are not willing to, change with them.  Why

complicate things? Marriage is just ceremonial, customary, and religious.  Just

because everyone else does it, why should you?"

> - Victor

>

>31. "We get to choose what we regard and disregard."

> - Victor

>

>32. "Pirated software can be compared with alcohol in the twenties.  It is just

too widespread to control.  There are plenty of computer-ignorant people out

there that are willing to spend their hard-earned money on software that makes

it not worth it to the software-manufacturers to trace and litigate pirates. 

Think of all the publicity criminalizing software-infringement would attract,

then everyone would be doing it.  It’s just not that hard in this day and age. 

It truly is an accepted-underworld.  Software companies want as few people to

know about it as possible because anyone with a computer can get free shit

easily.  They just have to know where to look.  Money rules our modern world,

let’s change that.  Let’s rule our own world."                         -

Victor

>

>33. "Money truly is the root of all evil.  In my ideal society money would be

obsolete.  People would do things to help others just for the feeling of

accomplishment and for helping humanity.  If everyone out there is working for

free, they will get helped out at the same time.  It would be a win-win

situation.  As different and diverse as we all are, we are all still human

beings.  Even though I am not religious at all, I still follow the golden-rule

to a tee.  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  It all comes back

to you, one way or another.  Sell your car and save the planet, as well as your

pocket-book."

> - Victor

>

>34. "Pride can complicate things, especially stupid-pride."

> - Victor

>

>35. "If it fits, stick it in."

> - Victor

>

>36. "The human emotion hate doesn't need to exist."

> - Victor

>

>37. "The only way we are ever going to make everyone the same, is by accepting

everyone's differences.  Peace and harmony will be sure to follow."

> - Victor

>

>38. "Instead of foreign-aide, let's give evolution-aide, to EVERYBODY."

> - Victor

>

>39. "There are millions of me's, but only one of us."

> - Victor

>

>40. "Not that I understand things, I just get shit."

> - Victor

>

>41. "The smart man backs his shit up."

> - Victor

>

>42. "Things take time."

> - Victor

>

>43. "Being happy on the bottom puts me on top."

> - Victor

>

>44. "Whatever's cool with you."

> - Victor

>

>45. "The truth may hurt sometimes, but you can't ever change it.  You can only

hide from it, if you choose to."

> - Victor

>

>46. "People just can't handle the truth."

> - Victor

>

>47. "I believe the end of life as we know it will come when that invisible

ozone layer up in the sky, that is there for our protection naturally, is no

longer.  People will drop like flies from skin cancer and it will all be because

of our modern invention, the internal-combustion engine.  The end of life as we

know it will be mankind's own fault. I have even heard that the ozone layer has

split into two recently.  I have to act fast."

> - Victor

>

>48. "In most cases, automotive exhaust is invisible.  If you do see it, it

disappears and people forget it was ever there.  That invisible waste is killing

our ozone layer day by day and people are just ignorant to it because it's not

directly visible."

> - Victor

>

>49. "    What is the main reason people get cars anyway?  So they won't have to

wait right?  With the urban-sprawl in this day and age, rush-hour starts around

2:00pm.  People end up sitting in traffic, wasting time, and burning up their

cars as well as our ozone layer.  Is it really that convenient?"

> - Victor

>

>50. "You can't ever forget that everyone makes mistakes.   Remember, mistakes

in cars just happen to kill people."

> - Victor

>

>51. "Now, if the bus were to be in a bad accident, first off injuries would be

minimal.  A car and a bus, hmm, who would win that fight?  Also, if I was

injured, my hospital bills would be paid for by the bus company.  I would be

covered automatically.  Why waste money on insurance?"

> - Victor

>

>52. "Cars have made our modern society just plain lazy."

> - Victor

>

>53. "Before I started riding the bus, I was all scrawny and skinny.  My chest

was concave almost.  It wasn't until I started riding the bus and walking that I

started toning up.  Humans were designed with two legs for a reason, and it's

not so we can push the accelerator and brake.  Walking is a full-body exercise,

it doesn't just work your legs.  I was like, "Cool, I don't have to go to the

gym now, what a great compensatory-strategy."

> - Victor

>

>54. "All we have to do is change the way we look at things.  Instead of seeing

a long walk as a chore or a burden, see it for what it really is.  A good, easy

workout."

> - Victor

>

>55. "My life has never been better since I started walking and drinking water. 

Every aspect of it has improved.  Before I would get depressed because I thought

I was too skinny, but now I have great muscle tone and a good cardiovascular

system and I didn't have to spend any money going to the gym to get it.  The

more you walk the easier it becomes, just like any other practice.  Now I walk

everywhere the bus doesn't go.  Sometimes, I'll get off at an earlier stop just

so I can walk the remainder of the way."

> - Victor

>

>56. "Water.  Water truly is the elixir of life.  Water is so inexpensive as

well.  Most, if not all places will let you have water for free."

> - Victor

>

>57. "Soda, yuck.  Why would I consume so much useless gas and have to pay for

it when water is free?  Why does anyone?  Don't you have enough gas?  People

drink because they're thirsty right?  Soda only makes you thirstier, so you'll

want more and spend even more money."

> - Victor

>

>58. "Being successful is just plain easy, just tweak your life a little.  Find

ways to produce the same end-result in the fastest amount of time.  There's a

shortcut to everything."

> - Victor

>

>59.  "There are two kinds of people who ride the bus.  There are the people

that ride because they can't afford a car and they think that cars are the only

way to get around.  Then there are the people who prefer to ride the bus because

they see how it saves them money and improves their life.  I am one of those

people."

> - Victor

>

>60. "Everyone in this world, no matter our differences, have something in

common.  We are all human beings.  I challenge anyone who tells me that it

doesn't make them feel good to be good.  If you don't think that's true, I

invite you to try it and see for yourself."

> - Victor

>

>61. "I have recently found the secret to life, the sure-fire way to get special

treatment, have rules broken for you and be made an exception to a lot of

things.  It's totally legal.  All you have to do is be nice and respectful. 

Just get in the habit of it so it becomes second-nature.  It's as simple as

that."

> - Victor

>

>62. "Even if at first you're nice for selfish reasons, because you know it

improves the chances of getting your way.  Hey, at least you're not being a dick

right?  Selfishness may be your motive at first, but once you see the difference

kindness makes, you just feel genuinely good.  We're only human."

> - Victor

>

>63. "Now our ozone layer is a naturally-occurring part of this world.  Natural

things tend to heal given the chance.  It has been under constant attack since

the dawn of automobiles.  Who’s to say if we lessen the damage we cause, it

won’t come back on its own?  If that seems unrealistic, hey, at least it won’t

get much worse if we stop attacking it.  We should always conserve whatever we

can."

> - Victor

>

>64. "Unfortunately, success is measured in money these days.  It should be

measured by how happy you are with what you already have."

> - Victor

>

>65. "Why do people make their lives so complicated?"

> - Victor

>

>66. "If things didn't possess a monetary-value, would people steal?  money

segregates society and gives people a false sense of respect.  money cannot buy

happiness.  I know of suicidal millionaires."

> - Victor

>

>67. "I am not a beggar.  The only thing I beg for is to differ."

> - Victor

>

>68. "When i give people the choice to tell me no, helping me out becomes their

decision.   I am not twisting anyones arm.  When people give me things, it's not

like they're not getting anything in return.  I give people the chance to feel

good about themselves.  If it was only a one-sided exchange, no one would give

me anything.  People say I take advantage of things.  Damn-straight, I take

advantage of every opportunity I get.  Aren't advantages better than

disadvantages?  Remember, it doesn't hurt to ask."

> - Victor

>

>69. "My methods just prove not only is it human-nature to be generous, but that

there is an acceptable loss every company figures into their finances at the end

of each month, that makes it ok not to always charge for things.  You see, money

is just a game."

> - Victor

>

>70. "The little money I spend riding the bus sure beats car-related expenses

such as a car payment, insurance, maintenance, gasoline and the risk of getting

in an accident.  Couldn't you do something better with all that money?  Duh. 

Life just isn't that complicated when you don't own a death-machine."

> - Victor

>

>71. "There can still be bad people with lots of money.  It shouldn't excuse

them from being bad."

> - Victor

>

>72. "Wouldn't you work for free if all your needs were already taken care of,

so you wouldnt be bored at home all day, provided you had a job you enjoyed? 

Well, if everyone else was doing that, what would we need money for?  Work for

your own wants and be independant."

> - Victor

>

>73. "Instead of trying to get the most money into their bank accounts, people

would start competing to see who could be the most generous, to get the most

attention and respect."

> - Victor

>

>74. "ALL people are different and that diversity is something supported by

science.  We have to stop trying to make everyone the same and learn to accept

the difference in this world.  That is the only way there will ever be peace."

> - Victor

>

>75. "So people in other countries arent like Americans.  So what?  They dont

have to be.  Let's stop trying to make them like us.  They are just jealous and

bitter because they arent as modern as Americans, and jealousy can kill.  Let's

forgive and help them already.

> - Victor

>

>76. "In all my experiences I have come to learn that when you react the exact

opposite way that people expect you to, not only do you surprise them, but they

usually end up respecting you for it.  Don't you think our warring nations would

feel indebted to us if we forgave them and helped them out?  Killing innocent

people would be a thing of the past.  Remember, forgiveness is devine."

> - Victor

>

>77. "My model for this perfect freedom I envision is the pirated-software scene

on IRC, where everything is already free and has been since the birth of the

internet.  You can get new movies, programs, games, pornography, you name it,

all for nothing.  As long as its in byte-form, you can get it for free on the

web.  You just have to know where to look.

>      It's also an accepted underworld.  Software companies will spend more

money tracing and litigating offenders, than they're already making from all the

people buying it legitimately.  It's just not cost-effective to them, so they

just ignore it.

>      You can compare software-piracy to alcohol in the 20's.  It's just too

widespread to control and everyone knows how well prohibition worked.  Let's say

the feds knocked on my door and told me they were gonna bust me for downloading

pirated software.  I would tell them, "Why aren't you going after the people I'm

getting it from?  Eliminating the end-user doesn't solve anything.  There are

organized groups out there that do this for a living almost, go bust them."  If

they're gonna come after one, they have to go after everbody.  Don't I deserve

equal treatment under the law?  Just think of all the publicity criminalizing

piracy would attract.  Then EVERYONE would be be doing it.  There really is no

stopping it."

> - Victor

>

>78. "What are some problems you encounter when you have a new idea and you're

trying to get it out?  For one, If you're telling it orally, you always run into

the problem of not remembering the whole story(because everyone makes mistakes),

thus not being as effective as you want.

>      Secondly, IGNORANCE.  People are too set in their old-fashioned, lazy

ways, deathly afraid of change(even if it's for the better) and they won't even

listen to you.

>      Well, I have found a way to jump both of those hurdles with the internet. 

What I will do is run an FTP server from my computer, giving anyone in the world

access to my hard-drive.  Only the files and directories I want them to access,

of course.  On my hard-drive I will have all my text files containing my ideas,

that anyone can read with any web-browser out there.  this way, people can read

my ideas at their discretion, UNCENSORED and they can finish them whenever they

want to.  the whole story will be told every single time."

> - Victor

>

>79. "Please, please, please let freedom really reign already.  Think of this as

an evolutionary-springboard.  Just think of all the great ideas people have had

that could've saved the world in the past, that ignorance never let be heard."

> - Victor

>

>80. "Let's say I pull this off and actually bring world peace.  Wouldn't that

make me the happiest man in the world?  Not to mention, the most successful? 

All without money."

> - Victor

>

>81. "We cant blame all of the people of a certain country for how their leaders

behave and think.  It's not like they all agree with them.  So why make innocent

people suffer because what their leaders or the majority think?  That's not

fair."

> - Victor

>

>82. "The government has to get out of everyone's business already.  So people

from other countries are different. Who cares, it's none of our business how

they make themselves happy.  Let them do what they want, as long as they're not

hurting innocent people.  Like I always say about generosity and good will, you

really do get what you give.  If we help them, they'll feel indebted to us and

stop killing.  They're human too.  Duh.

> - Victor

>

>83. "Let's lead by example and show them how we have evolved.  The older

generation can't handle the fact that us younger people have learned from their

mistakes and dont necessarily need college to be intelligent.  Much of the

ignorance I have come across comes from older people.  All the people of the

"internet-generation" seem to agree with me and my values.  We are the true

realists, and there's more of us than there are of them.  So let's make kindness

and generosity our common-currency, not money."

>84. "Remember, anything is possible and you gotta start somewhere."

>85. "Look at the moon closely sometime.  Doesn't it look like a yin-yang?"

> - Victor

>

>86. "If you know how to do it, more power to you."
