Derald

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=Sienna]Ah, this brings back memories, both happy and bothersome. I can't remember if I ever gave someone a nickname, but here are some that have been given to me (from newest to oldest): [B]Barthalamu[/B] - Started by someone in my classes; no comment. [B]Bernard[/B] - Started by the same someone above; no comment. [B]Shino[/B] - given to me by friends due to my interest in insects; derrived from the character in the anime [I]Naruto[/I]. [B]Dilbert[/B] - given to me by my chemistry teacher when she couldn't read my name properly on the attendance list. [B]Vincent[/B] - I have no idea how this started, but people in my piano class have called me this since August. [B]Kai[/B] - this was my German class nickname designated by my teacher. [B]Manbeast[/B] - given to me by my friends when I helped tear down a fence they needed removed....I am so proud. [B]Big-D[/B] - this was once again given to me by my soccer teammates. [B]Scuba Steve[/B] - this was in my freshman soccer class; I received this name because of the soccer goggles I wore; name derrived from the movie [I]Big Daddy[/I]. [B]Steryl Derald[/B] - this was an insult name given to me by varsity soccer players when I first started; you can guess how much I hated this name. [B]Peter[/B] - given by friends when derrived from their former name for me. [B]Pete Tweeterman[/B] - I have no blasted idea how this started, but it was truly annoying (especially when pronounced with a British accent). [B]Geraldo[/B] - once again, a name given by friends just to annoy me. [B]D[/B] - given to me by my friends up in New York. [B]Deralito[/B] - my first nickname given to me by my parents, and they use it everyday. I have had many names, but not many people know my true name, which is, of course, [B]Derald[/B].[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=Sienna]Space. The final frontier, but do we really need to go out and explore it in order to benefit humankind? My answer - no. To me, NASA and other space exploration programs are really a waste of resources. I mean, we're spending billions and billions of dollars to send rockets into space, but how does that really benefit humans? It doesn't. All of that money could have gone to raising the standard of living of people here on earth. Think of all the research that could have been done here on earth, all of the poverty-stricken masses that could have had a better life. Many say that these programs will provide a way for people in the future to colonize other planets, therefore justifying their actions. Do you really believe it will be that simple? To colonize anything it is essential that it can support life. Mars? The Moon? Neither of these can support human life, and in order to do so it would take billions, even trillions of dollars to possibly terraform the surface of either (if the technology even exists in the future). It's just not a very likely scenario. As an added point, why would we even consider moving into space if we can't even get along here on earth?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[QUOTE=D. Resurrected] I drive men mad For love of me, Easily beaten, Never free. [/QUOTE] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=Sienna]Sorry, no thoughts on this one, but here's my riddle:[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed]I have thousands of eyes, but cannot see.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=Sienna]One ending to an anime that I could not stand was that of Inuyasha. Sure, it was the end of the series, but not the end of the story. I couldn't believe it, it was just as if the producers became lazy and wrapped it up quickly in a last-ditch effort to keep the fans somewhat satisfied as they shut the project down. I mean, come on! I haven't even read the manga yet! I'm sure there are various differences between the series and the manga, and I'll probably have to reassemble the story bit-by-bit in my mind. Later.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=Sienna]Don't worry, I can understand you just fine. I have pondered this many times over, and the best I can come up with so far is, somewhat the same as what you stated, that thought, memory, and acknowledgement define existence. As long as a record is kept in the collective subconscious of mankind, then a person, object, and/or place shall exist. Being so, when there is no record of any of these things, then there is only ackowledgement of the thinking individual, and all else does not exist. Memory acts as the accumulating encyclopedia, if you will, of this reality, and as you pass down findings (by mouth, books, etc.) to the next generation, your surroundings' existence is to be built upon, continuing the acknowledgement of things that have disappeared, died, and/or been replaced. But then again, existence is but an abstract concept which has been fabricated by that which is referred to as the mind. [B]We[/B] assign meaning to things in [B]our[/B] own reality, therefore do we really know anything at all? Language, mathematics, art, we have defined all of these things within our own subconscious, using our own logic. But is that logic the truth? ....I'm going to stop now, before I confuse myself further, as I cannot express my thoughts through simple words. So, that's a start, right? Later.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Rhym][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkSlateGray'] ..They're completely harmless to humans, having no sort of bite or sting...[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]As many may know, there is no better way to learn something than by experience. Although many sources say that dragonflies are harmless, I know, for a fact, that they do actually bite, regardless of how much research institutions deny it. How do I know? Approximately 6 years ago, while I lived in New York, I used to go to a friend's house and chase dragonflies. As I did this more, I eventually caught one with my bare hands and held it up to see. Being cuious, I placed my finger next to its mouthparts. Upon doing this I was given qiute a painful bite - data acquired. This, however, is only personal experience, not general statistics.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Rhym]They are the world's fastest insects, able to reach speeds of up to 60 mph.[/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Now, even though they are virtually the fastest insect on the planet, it is a common misconception that they are able to reach speeds of 60 mph. They are, in fact, only able to reach speeds of about 25-30 mph, with cruising speeds of around 10 mph.. It may not sound fast to you, but it is indeed fast for an insect. Don't believe me?

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=Sienna][B]The Pillows.[/B] To me, simply the greatest band to rock out loud. Their music is simple, yet it brings me a feeling of peace, regardless of how corrupt, chaotic, or twisted the world has become. All I need to do is pop a Pillows CD into my CD-player, lie down outside on a sunny day, and boom - I'm laying down in a vast, golden field which seems to stretch on for eternity with the sun setting and a gentle breeze blowing. That, to me, is why they're great (although it might also have something to do with FLCL).[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[QUOTE=Retribution][size=1]Now at this point, I'm not even kidding. Honestly, Derald, take a minute to think about everything you just said. Well, you probably have... I'm just so awestruck that someone would be so bluntly apathetic to their fellow man. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you sound more like a computer than a human. I think you understand what I'm trying to say. I... just... wow.[/size][/QUOTE] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=Sienna]Didn't you read the final segment of my post? I was having an off day, and I just used this thread as a constructive outlet for anger, seeing as it was the first in line when I visited the lounge. I already stated that my normal self would selflessly help another, regardless of whether or not it would harm me. Please, this is an online philosophy thread - don't take things so seriously. Also, seeing as this was an insignificant call for attention, it was I who was surprised with you when you simply would not ignore my posts. Later.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Retribution][size=1']See, the thing about calling HIV/AIDS, war, and starvation "population control" is that it isn't. Humans still reproduce at such an exponential rate, the Black Plague or the Civil War or WWI/II didn't slow down the rate of human reproduction. I was watching a time line -- all of these events only slightly decreased the exponential curve, which picked back up its slope in a matter of five or so years. The analogy doesn't work, as removing, say one person, from a room that's overcrowded by fifty, it won't do anything.[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]You're helping my point - by keeping the population at a fixed amount you can gradually add to the room for more people. Call me evil and insensitive if you want.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Retribution']Think about how many people are born -- it's a mind-boggling number. It's also much higher than those who die daily, which also has a staggering statistic (especially to the preventable things).[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Once again, you are repeating yourself from earlier. Now, how do you control that curve? By taking an oversized chunk of the population out to reduce that exponent.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Retribution]Think about what you just said. How many did SARS kill in China? Now how many people are still [i]living[/i'] in China. Did that disease do anything except make a few people miserable? Did it make China any more liveable or supportable than before? The simple answer is no. Hell, look at the Black Plague -- the same thing goes. The world still continued to grow, despite the fact that one group of people were dying. The world didn't become any more supportable due to that epidemic either.[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Correct. We need something more grave.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Retribution']I think I should laugh at this statement, that the natural disasters are increasing in fierceness solely because humans are becoming more and more efficient. Perhaps our impact on the environment has something to do with the natural disasters, but not because we invented the computer. Unless you're one of those "God destroyed New Orleans because they were sinner" types who believes that God's doing these things in direct response to human action.[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Hmm, simply because I see something in the Gaia Theory I receive ridicule....[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Retribution']And my point still stands that even after the horrific tsunami in the Pacific Islands, the world didn't become any more supportable than before. The only thing that became of it was alot of sadness and suffering.[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Precisely- it was not on a grand enough scale. It only killed up through the thousands. We need something in the upper millions, and possibly even billions. As for your remarks on "sadness" and "suffering", they are irrelevant to this situation. As the people gradually repopulate they'll forget about the event and move on with their lives.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Retribution']I'm also guessing that a world peace would only mean that humans would be able to 'magically' prevent every disease and strain in addition to ceasing war. I don't think it would including humans controlling the weather[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]I'm actually working on a science project to control tornadoes and other atmospheric phenomena, but that's besides the point. When did I start talking about "world peace"? There can never be peace, nor will there ever be a stop to diseases.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Retribution']Honestly, Derald, pull your head out of the sand. It would be noble to end the suffering of those on Earth, not to prove a point. That sort of mentality is equivalent to the maturity of a five-year-old.[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]You call me a child? So be it. After all, it is said that children tend to speak the truth. Anyways, you seem to have interpreted what I said incorrectly. When I said "to prove a point", I meant die alongside those to be killed in population control. A little more grim, isn't it?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Retribution']And thinking about it, the whole scenario of sacrifice of one for the rest of humanity is exactly the same as Christianity. Interesting, most interesting.[/size][/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Since when did I bring morals into this? Isn't a Jedi not to let their emotions cloud what must be done? (Seeing how you used that last line.) I'm speaking of cutting the population down to one third, and keeping it there for a while, regardless of human sentiment. Right. Wrong. It's all point of view, and morals are just there to provide comfort to those who don't accept the realities of life. (*takes a reflective pause*) Now, sorry for losing my composure there, and I apologize if I offended you in any manner. What you just witnessed was the outlet of frustration I keep inside as I come across more disagreeable events in my life. Now, if it were the normal me speaking, I would most likely sacrifice myself for the benefit of others. However, the fact that I have said the above still remains, and I am obliged to say that sometimes I really do feel that way. Later.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[QUOTE=Retribution][size=1]...I think people who say "People need to die" honestly should hop off their high horse. They're speaking from a pedestal -- they think they understand how things work, but have never experienced the suffering, death, and sorrow of the world first hand. No one who says this was in a concentration camp at one time. No one who says this was in Rwanda or Kosovo. The people who say this are at home, living their stable American routine where the most death you come across daily is roadkill. People don't need to die...[/size][/QUOTE] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]True, most people who say this do, in fact, live a somewhat fruitful life. However, please do not over-generalize this statement, as people do need to die. My justification is this: Let's say you have a room that only supports 3 people. If you wanted to add one more person you would have to either 1) take one person out or 2) make it so the room can support more people. Now, seeing that the latter of the two options is not very likely, as far as the earth is concerned, you would have to take out someone to make room for another - it's common logic. The earth only has so many resources, and if the human population exceeds the resource output then there might as well have been no humans to begin with. Diseases out in the world mutate to get around our medical advances in order to get their job done - population control. Natural didasters have their duties - population control. As we continue to procreate at a ridiculous rate, these things have to become more efficient at what they do, thus all these serious illnesses that were unheard of centuries ago, thus the growth in fierceness of natural disasters. Ultimately, if I would have to die to prove my point, why not? It would be more noble than a slow, suffering extinciton of humans due to overpopulation.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen]Well, at this rate, if I don't do anything my thread will go unnoticed for possibly all eternity.....or something of the like. I nominate my [B]'Entomology: Care to Look?'[/B] thread because I feel that I have at least tried to do something in educating people about insects, spiders, and other 'creepy crawlies'. The nominaiton goes to the thread as well as all the people who posted information on it, and also to the people who thanked my thread for providing information they've been curious about. I honestly feel my thread to be worthy of some award, no matter how small. I also nominate [B]sakurasuka[/B] for helping out on my banners and avatars, and for being one of my few friends on the OB. Thanks beyond thanks. Also, although repeated many times before, I nominate [B]all the moderators, administrators, and site directors[/B] because I truly feel that they need to be rewarded for their stressful jobs handling newbies, posting rules and regulations, as well as enforcing them, and being able to handle this as well as their real lives. Their sense of responsibility, and ability to converse easily with the rest of OB, is truly worthy of praise well beyond that of whatever award they receive. Kudos to you.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]It's finally time for me to post a spider: [I]Nephila clavipes[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [IMG]http://www.giffbeaton.com/Spiders/Golden%20Orb%20Weaver_2005-10-09-0106.jpg[/IMG] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]The Golden Silk Spider. I had the luck of finding five of these spiders in my backyard, so then I kept one as a temporary pet. These spiders, first of all, are not harmful to humans and will bite only if provoked (so no one goes out on a raid).The female is approximately 25mm to 40mm in length, and the male is approximately 6mm in length. The amazing web of the spider is an average of 1 meter or so, and the silk is, in fact, a golden color. Not only that, but many South Sea Islanders use matted and twisted webs of this spider to serve as various bags and fish nets (it's quite a strong web). This is indeed a very good example of a majestic spider, so, please, don't go out and kill spiders such as this for the "heck of it", or because you were "doing it in self defense", and epecially not if it just looked "scary".[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Well, to those who haven't found anything, and to those who are still unaware, this is for you: [URL=http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808718754/trailer]The Trailer.[/URL] You may have to buffer it and replay it a few times. Later.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][quote name='kuroinuyoukai']I think Mother Nature can take all the natural disasters back. All they do is kill people. I hate thunderstorms too because my 80 lb dog tries to sleep on top of me. :animeangr[/quote] [COLOR=DimGray]Natural disasters, sorry to say, are meant to kill people. We, as organisms, are overpopulating, and mother nature must work overtime. By doing this, believe it or not, our species is granted a longer time on this earth. When we are few in number, we do not harm the earth as much, and, in turn, the environment will be able to support life for longer. Also, anyone who feels that global warming is a major issue: The earth is still coming out of an ice age, so of course there are going to be some major climate changes and more frequent natural disasters. Pollution, however, is somewhat accelerating this process.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='? Nomad Tical ?']Personally, I'd like to beat the snot out of mother nature for creating mosquitos. Bloodsucking little bastards who spread diseases and make you itchy, all while giving nothing to the community. Most animals serve some purpose, even if their annoyance outweighs it, but as soon as I found out they couldn't really bring back dinosaurs, I realised they were worthless and sucky (pun TOTALLY intended).[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]You know, mosquitoes are a major food source for dragonflies. You can put together the rest of the food web from there. Just live with it. For me, it's warm weather. I like it when it's around 50 degrees, and I simply don't like summer for that reason (although it is a good time to observe various insects).[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Here's one of my personal favorites: [I]Magicicada septendecim[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [IMG]http://www.carolinanature.com/pix/cicada5090.jpg[/IMG] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]The periodical cicada. [B]Order[/B]: Hemiptera, [B]Family[/B]: Cicadidae. Now, based on the prior experiences I have had with showing people this insect, I'm sure many of you are looking at it and are saying "Hey, it's a locust." Well, it's not, and I hate it when people constantly keep calling it so. A [B]locust[/B] is a member of the [B]grasshopper family[/B], so please learn. Now, sorry for the outburst, but, after all, this is meant to be an educational thread. The periodical cicada is quite interesting as it spends a great majority of its life (13 or 17 years) as a juvenile nymph living underground, feeding upon the roots of trees. After this, the nymph finally emerges from the ground and works its way up onto a tree, where it will harden its outer shell and grow into an adult within, breaking out when the transition is complete. The cicada will now have a few weeks to live in which it must find a mate, lay its eggs, and start the cycle over. The adult males have internal noise-producing membranes known as tymbals, which they vibrate using strong internal muscles, to produce a deafening (to us) "song" to attract potential mates. These "songs" are what frequently inspired haiku poets in Japan. I don't know why I like them, but I just do.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote name='Desbreko][color=#4B0082']Another interesting thing about mantids is that, after mating, the females eat the males. They're like the ultimate dominatrixes.[/color][/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]You know what else is interesting about the mantis? In some species the male has become completely non-existent, and the females reproduce by laying unfertilized eggs which, surprisingly, hatch into more females. This process is known as parthenogenesis.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [quote name='Raya']In rural areas, kids tie strings 'round the thorax (the head,yeah?)[/quote] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Actually, the thorax is the second of the three main body segments of an insect. First is the head, second is the thorax, and last comes the abdomen. Just thought I should clear that up.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]All right, next one: [I]Lethocerus americanus[/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] [IMG]http://waynesword.palomar.edu/images/gwbug3.jpg[/IMG] [FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Ah, yes, the giant water bug. [B]Order[/B]: Hemiptera, [B]Family[/B]: Belostomatidae. The giant water bug is an insect which is approximately 2.5 to 5 cm in length in general, however, they can exceed this size (believe me, I have kept a few in the past). Its two front legs have been adapted for seizing prey while its four hind legs have adapted for swimming. It breathes by poking a breathing appendage at the end of its abdomen above the surface of the water. It hunts using its front legs, and when it grasps its prey it stabs into the side of it with a pointed, cone-like feeding tube and devours its prey somewhat like a spider. Handle with care, however, as if handled improperly it can deliver a painful stab with its mouthpiece. Also, I forgot to mention, its prey usually consists of small fish, tadpoles, and frogs.

[FONT=Papyrus][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Personally, I couldn't care less about politics. Politics have distorted the views of "right" and "wrong" so horribly that I no longer care. Sure, go ahead, have a woman as president, I just hope that she will not let "society" and personal issues affect what should really be done. Having a woman as president would be the same to me as having anyone else, just another human. We just need someone with a sense of [B]proper[/B] responsibility.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Papyrus][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Well, if you would, how about this quote on the banner: "A desolate wind carries my shards into tomorrow." As for the avatar, the image itself would do great. I greatly thank you for your help.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Papyrus][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]Could someone please convert the image I have attached to this post into an avatar, and possibly even a banner. I just ask that the image remain as close to its current proportions as possible, and the avatar to be just the image without anything added-just resized (I lack the picture-editing programs of today).

He tells me that whenever he conects to the site, it automatically logs him in under his profile, which doesn't work, according to him.

[FONT=Lucida Console][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Now, as most, or some, of you know, there is a new King Kong movie coming this December, directed by Peter Jackson. Here's my problem: As anyone that saw the trailer would know, [SPOILER]there is a fight scene between Kong and a T-Rex. Kong grabs the T-Rex by the jaws and breaks them, killing it.[/SPOILER] Now, just for this reason I will not see this movie. Why? Between mammals and reptiles, I always go with the reptiles, no exception. Plus, how the hell does this work? Seriously, a Tyrannosaur, even against a titanic gorilla which rivals it in size, would slice the fingers off Kong as soon as it closed its jaws. I mean, the Tyrannosaur is a killing machine, built with 8-inch serrated teeth backed by jaw muscles that could break bone and tear through any other creature with the slightest of ease. As soon as the Tyrannosaur got a shot at Kong, it would tear off a nice-sized chunk. So, I side with the Tyrannosaur on this one. Who do you side with?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
