Ok, I'll describe my dream house.

Its located in New England, on an 640,000 acre estate, which is surrounded by a 15 foot wall, topped with pressure sensors and electric wire. On the outer side of the wall, is 70 feet of sand, designed to show any intruders. On the inside of the wall, is pristine forest, filled with streams (fed by a wall, and purified), wildlife, and there are two ponds, both stocked with all sorts of fish. In the woods are all kinds of wildlife.

The building is decent sized, for my family of 5, one women, 4 kids, there is a 3 car garage, and a few barns. In the barns are my chickens, in another one, horses, and in another one, stalls for the cows, where they live during the winter months. I'll also have a storage building, with my water purification system, which filters the water from my wind powered well (backup well), 15 tons of coal, 5 years of food supplies for my family, over 15,000 rounds of ammo, and other survival supplies.

Hobbit hole... all the way

A decent sized studio apartement in Wrigleyville (that's in Chicago, for all you wacky foreign types) with my lady. a lakeview would be nice, but unneccesary.

The building is decent sized, for my family of 5, one women, 4 kids

...Wouldn't that be a family of 6?

I'd like to live in Western Cape or Free State.

5,000 acre commercial farm, surrounded by three layer fence (razor wire, electric, then razor wire) Although ideally in the next few years, things will happen in South Africa such that fences won't be needed, except 1 fence to keep animals in/out.


I'd have a 6 bedroom 2-3 floor house. Maybe 5,000-10,000 square feet. 6-15 kids, obviously a wife (just 1, none of that polygamy crap)


I'd have 3 backup diesel generators, 5,000-10,000 gallons of water stored in the bomb shelter which is located about 200 feet away from the house but can be reached via access tunnel from the house. The bomb shelter would be about 1000 square feet at least, and contain several rooms. On the property, stashed in the house and shelter, at least 100-200 firearms, and 500,000 rounds of ammunition, body armor for every family member, 1-3 NBC suits and gasmasks for all family members, gas mask cansiter replacements for all family members.

5-15 years worth of MREs and other canned goods.

Its located in New England, on an 800x800 acre estate,

Acres are units of area, surely?

How very Wacol of you!:p

My dream house would be a Queenslander/Federation type.

Here are some examples:
This Queenslander is on stumps with a nice widow's walk (http://zogold.net/maryboro/art/hhouse1.jpg)
Some sprawling varandahs (http://zogold.net/maryboro/art/hhouse4.jpg)
They typically have white or cream coloured paint, but with edgings either rusty red or green (http://zogold.net/maryboro/art/hhouse3.jpg)
The traditional roofing material is corrogated iron (http://zogold.net/maryboro/art/cottage.jpg)
They all have high celings because of the heat (http://zogold.net/maryboro/art/pallash.jpg)
Beaut!:D

...Wouldn't that be a family of 6?

Well, Kahta is 17, so he is probably one of the kids.

Well, Kahta is 17, so he is probably one of the kids.

Ah. Makes sense.

My house, with lots of immigrants doing the chores.

A decent sized studio apartement in Wrigleyville (that's in Chicago, for all you wacky foreign types) with my lady. a lakeview would be nice, but unneccesary.
I'm assuming you mean by Lakeshore drive near the stadium. I lived there with my Uncle, during the summer. On the 22nd Story, a good Lake View. And you could go on to of the building and watch the game.

It's UBER expensive, so be careful.

Yes

1 acre = 4 046.85642 m2

I'd like to live somewhere in Southern Ontario.

It'd be a three story house on Lake Erie- think tract mansion, 'round 8,000 square feet or so Four Bedrooms or so, nice large basement (for me to put my model trains). One wife, one or two kids.

I'd have a few generators, obviously. Year of emergency food supply kept downstairs too.

It'd be a very luxurious and high-tech home. Wireless network all across the house, with a central computer controlling AC, Heat, Hot Water, etc.

nice, quiet, simple, plain old apartment building. thats it.

Did anyone even look at my pretty pictures I posted?:(

I'd live in a Ninja house.

A secret Ninja House.

With my pet Whale.

Where in New England? Do you know how much money 640,000 acres would cost around where we live?

Did anyone even look at my pretty pictures I posted?:(

I did. And I have to say that I've never seen homes like that before.

a nice little 1200 sq ft slump block house, heated with wood, with a nice front porch, located in the cottonwood forest alongside the rio grande, 1 mile from the nearest road.

oh yeah thats where i live now!

I did. And I have to say that I've never seen homes like that before.

That's because they're Queenslanders, from Queensland. Australia, top, right.;) I told it wouldn't look too much out of place in New Orleans, have you been there?:)

Thanks for looking BTW!:D

yeah. my dad lives at diversey and sheridan, on the lakeshore. the only reason he could afford it was cuz we moved from a house to a condo. My other dream house would be a twoflat (both floors) at logan blvd. and california. It's in humbolt park, so it's really cheap. My mom's boyfriend bought and fixed up an old crackhouse out there, it's gorgeous now, and they've completely payed off the mortgage.

Nope, I've never been to Louisiana. I'm sheltered, haven't ever been off the east coast of the US. :(

And you're welcome!

My dream home would be a simple 60 acre plot with a 40,000 sq ft. castle mansion in Salzburg, Bavaria. It will be surrounded with a brick and barb wire wall equipped with sensors and camaras and searchlights.

A 80 ft diameter helipad will rest atop a steep roof roundel where my Bell helicopter will land. A 10 car garage will do good if it doubles as a showroom, with my Mercedes Maybach 62 in it.

Dream House

Amazing how none of you fellow Americans have mentioned getting a place in the South. Seeing as how we southerners can't seem to get rid of all the old Yankees who keep moving down here, I'm surprised. We have cleaner air, better scenery, and a lot less people. Plus, if you watch "Cops" on TV you'll notice that 90% of the drunk driver etc. stuff occurs in Greenville or Florence, SC, which is my home state. In other words, when you get old you'll probably move down here if you are rich, and if you aren't you will probably end up spending the taxpayers money with your Social Security, which will be gone by the year 2050 at the latest, leaving you bereft of any form of income and forcing you to make amends through subsistence farming or selling furs, neither of which you will be capable of, having always bought your food at the local grocery store.


By the way, my dream home is a beautiful 5,000 acre lot along the Waccamaw River right here on the S.C. coast, with a 2 million dollar yacht and about six 4-wheelers, a Dodge Ram with a 29 inch suspension lift and 49 inch tires, a 3 story home for my wife and 3 kids, and about 3 different fishing boats, a bass boat, and a Stingray for watersports.

Dream House

I don't think I could live in a house with the walls painted those colours, I'm more of a subdued colour person myself!:D

Did anyone even look at my pretty pictures I posted?:(

Yes, thats a nice house.

Where in New England? Do you know how much money 640,000 acres would cost around where we live?


Yes. I'd live in Northern Maine or something.

Yes, thats a nice house.

They're actually diffrent houses, I was trying to showcase the style of the buildings. But thankyou still!:D

My mom showed an apartment today that was beyond gorgeous. It's huge (18 ft. ceilings, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and a patio thing), and it's decorated beautifully. Well, from the pictures I saw anyway. If I could pick a home to live in right now, I'd pick that one. :)

My mom's boyfriend bought and fixed up an old crackhouse out there, it's gorgeous now, and they've completely payed off the mortgage.

My uncle moved out near Lincon Sqaure, into a larger apartment.

Ever hear of the Daily Bar? Or the Square Resteruant? Great places to eat!

oh come on, albuquerque was featured so many times on COPS that the mayor finally had to pass a resolution banning the show from making any new episodes here. did you ever see the one where the woman had a guard PARROT in her house? very funny stuff.

Yes. I'd live in Northern Maine or something.

Okay, I was going to say, if you've got the $3 billion plus to get that much land down here, then I was going to ask to borrow a few bucks. I don't even know where there is that much land down here.

why does kahta get to live in a hypercube

i want to live in the 4th dimension

acre^2= ft^2*ft^2= ft^4

lucky bastard

So we've established Kahta doesn't understand acres? Use hectares anyway, its easier.

Hobbit hole... all the way

I can dig that. Except I'd take it a step further and just plain live in the woods, roughin' it.

With a tree for scratching the ol' behind. Oh yeah.

Kind of like that one book where the kid ran away from home and lived in a huge tree.

Maybe in western MA.

If I had that much money, I'd give you some so you could get a new hat and new pair of pants :)

We use acres in the USA. There's no need to be a jerk.

My ideal house (if this was fantasy land) would be a castle like thing on the western side of San Francisco, facing the ocean. Yes, that would be a very cold, somewhat bleak place to live, but I'd like it. Now, realistically, I'd be fine with a flat in San Francisco. Basically I never want to leave this area.

The only other place I would think of would be some nice little place on the North Coast, like, Humboldt county or something.

About an hour and a half inland from LA, 15,000 sq ft house on 250 acres including a top speed-oval + infield race track.

Yes

1 acre = 4 046.85642 m2


So, maybe I'm just being dumb here, but what is an "800x800 acre estate", seeing as how we are agreed that they are units of area?

That sounds exactly like the dream house I imaged for you too Kahta!



But the size would be a little smaller, and the forest would be outside the walls.

And no livestock, family, garage, ponds, or survival supplies.


And you'd share it with about 1500 others.

And there would be guard towers in the walls and those guards would have all the ammo.


And they'd be there to keep you in......

It would be a cubic measurement, so I guess that means he owns his own air space over his house.:p

Hey, I want to own my airspace, since it's my land. If they can't drive on my land cause I own it, why should they be able to fly over the airspace, they'll upset my livestock and everybody else. Hell, if they fly military craft over my property without first clearing it with me, I might think it's an invasion. People may get hurt if you get scared and think it's an attack (A militia unit out in Montana tried to down a cobra helicopter that flew over the leader's farm, now if they just told them ahead of time instead of just flying over, things like that are so avoidable)

Communication is just something that can keep things like that from happening and nobody winds up getting hurt.

I'd like a little acrage in central Texas. A small part of it with a high stone wall around it. Not to keep people out, but so my cats could roam outside and still be safe. A couple of horses would be nice. Several guest rooms, maybe some of you could come visit. A nice game room so people could come over and play pool or darts.

Because you do not own airspace. Unless you declare your independence from the United States, that is.

It retreated in panic since it wasn't used to RPGs and other such weaponry being fired at it over a rural farm area. Also I think somebody may even have been readying a Stinger, but whatever the case, it fled the area, and the government was basically so embarrassed that one of their helicopters flew in so low over a civilian area, as part of an already illegal joint army-police exercise (See the Act of Possee Comitatus), that they basically dropped the issue and the folks got off VERY lightly.

Does Boer Nation = recognized government of South Africa?

Give it time, it one day will be. Remember, I'm an Afrikaner Calvinist, I believe the Boer are predestinated by God to rule over South Africa. :D

The current illegitimate communist regime occupying the Boer Nation of South Africa matters not to me, only their ultimate demise will matter to me. There were not enough good men in 1994 willing and organized to act to prevent the communist seizure of power via rigged elections. But there now a growing number who are rallying to the cause and one day the communists will be pushed out of power.

1/2 of the SADF is HIV positive, they're soon to be dropping like flies from the plague God has sent! The airforce is so laughable they've only managed to train 1 black pilot in 10 years! It's a joke, really, it is. The quality of the armed forces is insanely low, only the mostly white units (Rec Commando) and other such units, are of any worthwhile quality. And they are rife with right-wingers.

Besides, VolkFront and AWB have nearly 200,000 armed members, don't forget Boeremag either.

nice. just a couple of problems with it though.
first, you need a job, and money. considering you have exposed your intelligence a few times on this forum, that is pretty unlikely.
second, "all kinds of wildlife and sortsof fish". that just sounds hilarious.
third. wife and kids??? hahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
fourth. i lke this plan. it keeps you away from society. good choice.

Well, we have the British National Party and plenty of their Nazi-worshipping affiliates.Good point.

Speaking of the BNP, whatever happened to Mongoose Spatula? He was amusing to taunt.

Kahta may be the single most paranoid person I have ever heard of, at least that wasn't schizophrenic.

My dream house is the one i live in at the moment - its the best and i love the way its designed.
Think of a bungalow, and then put it on the first floor with a ground floor of spare bedrooms, massive family foom and small garage.
Upstairs has all the normal rooms, kitchen, dining + sitting rooms, bathroom, bedrooms, study etc., and a balcony thing leading onto the garden, as the house is basically built into the hill!
I love it, and if i get my way i'll never move!

My dream house.

Way into the future. A beach on one side, mountain range the other. On a terraformed Pluto. :D

What's with all the weirdo survivalists?
Yes, when I think if my dream home what automatically springs to mind is barbed wire. :p

Nah, I'm not too fussed about it being huge or whatever. I'd just like a comfortable home to accomodate my partner and our 2/3 kids. Ideally I would like a Victorian style home to renovate ourselves. You know, lace verandah, high ceilings and a deliciously worn staircase. Failing that, anything that's not too recent. If it is recent I think I'd have to design it myself. :p
I'm picky.

It must be airy, sunny and planned for people to LIVE IN. Like, windows near the kitchen sink, good ventilation, not too hot in summer or cold in winter. I've been in way too many newly built homes that are all very pretty, but not functional at all.
Above all, the kitchen and bathrooms must be relatively new! Those things need rippin out every 10years or so. :p

Well, we have the British National Party and plenty of their Nazi-worshipping affiliates.

We have the national front here who seem to be fairly racist. All of 40 of them turned out to a rally in front of parliment, although strangely enough their reason for the rally was because they were against changing the flag. (www.nzflag.com) They seem to not like asians imigrants very much, but don't seem to be able to distinguish between those who have recently arrived and those who are 6th generation New Zealanders and have been here as long as many white families.

Ah crap. We do have all the nutcases.

They're all leaving South Africa obviously. :p
But Australia has its fair share. *cough* North Queensland *cough* Ooh, and people like the Patriotic Youth League. They organised a showcase anti-immigration demonstration a while back. Apparently like a dozen people turned up. There were hundreds at the counter-demonstration. :p

Because you do not own airspace. Unless you declare your independence from the United States, that is.

Actually, that's not true. In Texas, if you own your property, you also own the dirt beneath it, all the way to the center of the Earth, and you own the air, all the way to the end of the Universe.

That's why you can cut the branches off a neighbor's tree if it's growing over your property. The United States, however, can allow planes to fly over your house, but you can petition to get any air traffic over your house stopped. Which is why sonic booms are not allowed over residential area any more.

We do own our air.

How very Wacol of you!:p

On the outer side of the wall, is 70 feet of sand, designed to show any intruders. ...I'll also have a storage building, with my water purification system, which filters the water from my wind powered well (backup well), 15 tons of coal, 5 years of food supplies for my family, over 15,000 rounds of ammo, and other survival supplies.

Pity you feel that you want/need to isolate yourself this way. Might I suggest simply buying an island: that way no one can come that you don't want?

Speaking of the BNP, whatever happened to Mongoose Spatula? He was amusing to taunt.

Last seen posting as Johnny Tolerant, wasn't he?

It would be a cubic measurement, so I guess that means he owns his own air space over his house.:p

No, a cubic measurement would be acres x metres, whereas here we have another dimesnion to worry about on top of the third.

i think my ideal house would be on a hillside, overlooking a rolling valley of evergreen trees, with the woods all around the house; a large house with a recording studio, swimming pool, gym, home cinema room ( :D ), a blindingly fast internet connection, using solar & wind power turbine thingys, and collecting & purifying rainwater (but not cut off from mains supplies), a massive library and reading room (with a massive log fireplace in, and those comfy georgian (i guess) seats), and a conservatory at the top of the house. some lakes nearby too, but it'd have to be somewhere vaguely warm... apls maybe?
oh and be a 5 - 10 minute drive from a major city, too.


think i've got that nailed :p

why does kahta get to live in a hypercube

i want to live in the 4th dimension

acre^2= ft^2*ft^2= ft^4

lucky bastard

Ah, don't know how I missed this post until now: He Built A Crooked House, eh?

Ok, I'll describe my dream house.

Its located in New England, on an 800x800 acre estate, which is surrounded by a 15 foot wall, topped with pressure sensors and electric wire. On the outer side of the wall, is 70 feet of sand, designed to show any intruders. On the inside of the wall, is pristine forest, filled with streams (fed by a wall, and purified), wildlife, and there are two ponds, both stocked with all sorts of fish. In the woods are all kinds of wildlife.

The building is decent sized, for my family of 5, one women, 4 kids, there is a 3 car garage, and a few barns. In the barns are my chickens, in another one, horses, and in another one, stalls for the cows, where they live during the winter months. I'll also have a storage building, with my water purification system, which filters the water from my wind powered well (backup well), 15 tons of coal, 5 years of food supplies for my family, over 15,000 rounds of ammo, and other survival supplies.

Are you the leader of a global criminal network? Do you have a little white cat?

My dream house.

Way into the future. A beach on one side, mountain range the other. On a terraformed Pluto. :D
i know its just a dream, as likely to happen as kahta's dream house

but unless you move pluto WAY closer to the sun, at least to the asteroid belt id think, its going to be much too cold to sit on the deck to watch the sunset over the nitrogen sea.

No, a cubic measurement would be acres x metres, whereas here we have another dimesnion to worry about on top of the third.

kahta, being a very literal kind of boy, has included not just acreage but also his mineral rights, air space and length of time of ownership. so in reality he is talking about a reasonable house on an 1/8th acre lot with a concrete block wall, couple of fish ponds and trees, his cats, dogs, wild birds and a family of racoons that get into his garbage cans on tuesdays. he owns this house for 10 years.

lucky sot.

A place where I can be away from home, where nobody could bother me unless, of course, I really wanted them to. It could be anywhere, just as long as I had privacy, some way of playing music (loudly, with nobody being interrupted), a kitchen well-stocked with food, a bed, a TV (cable or not), a clean bathroom with a shower, a washer and dryer, and a computer with an internet connection. They could all be in one room, but it'd have to be comfortable or cozy enough for me to enjoy being there.

Volume of music doesn't really matter to me; just as long as I could hear it, so I'd be okay with an apartment.

Length of time in metres?

Length of time in metres?
yes hes very inventive

its acres squared (meters to the 4th) which includes 4 dimensions. the 4th dimension is TIME. it doesnt give the relative measures that add up to 640,000 acres squared but that 3rd dimension is bound to be HUGE depending on just how far he takes it(center of the earth to the edge of the atmosphere, perhaps). thus the acreage and times have to be much smaller than it might seem from such a big number.

its acres squared (meters to the 4th) which includes 4 dimensions. the 4th dimension is TIME.

Seeing as how we only have one constant speed, as far as I reckon - the speed of light in a vaccum - then we must be able to work out how long in time this distance represents:

Acre = 4046.85642 m2

Acre times 800 = 3237485.14 m2

Square root of this to find distance along the edges (assuming that we are dealing with a square plot):

square root(acre times 800) = 1.79930129 kilometers*


1.79930129 kilometers divided by the speed of light = 6.00182307 microseconds



So he has a square plot of land under 2 km a side, the air space and mineral rights roughly 900 metres above and below the surface of the earth, and possesses the freehold of all this for 6 microseconds.

He could of course trade off some of the mineral rights and air space to increase the length of the freehold.


______________

* I have to admit that I am surprised that a plot of land only 2 km by 2 km comes to nearly a thousand acres. This seems quite small a perimeter.

My ideal house would be very unique. I don't know where I would place it yet but it might be someplace warmer. It would be underground like a bunker, but it wouldhave a modern look inside; it would look like a real house. Being buried underground would increase the heat efficiency and also it would stay cooler in the summer. The entire roof would be covered with solar panels and light collectors and mirrors that would project sunlight down to the proxy windows. I might also have a wind farm depending on how windy it was there. And a backup stationary fuel cell.
I would build the complex big enough so that I could rent apartments out to others if I felt like it... basically it would be like building on the bottom of the world's biggest swimming pool. There would be a T3 coming into our location and denizens would be able to subsidize their rent by participating in monthly tournaments on our private LAN party, with advertisements and prizes and all that good stuff.
And yes, in keeping with the survivalist theme, it would be isolated, with an underground parking garage, and it would have a deep-drilled well with carbon purification underneath the complex, and MRE stores et cetera et cetera.

I wonder how much that would cost? ;)

This does not exist so please don't mob me with applications to live in my game subsidized apartment complex ok.

nice calculation
but can we be SURE that such an esoteric measurment as "acres squared" would use the same time units as above? perhaps its not hooked to the speed of light but to some odd unit of months. the imperial system is a bit screwy after all.

Yeah, I was wondering if there were any more appropriate constant speeds that we could use instead of c, if only to be generous to Kahta? Any ideas? Speed of Sound in Air at STP (343.4 m s?1 at standard atmospheric pressure and 20°C)?


1.79930129 kilometers divided by the speed of sound in air at STP = 5.28755265 seconds


This increases the duration of the freehold roughly a thousandfold, and at least gives time to shout "Hi honey, I'm home. Now, time to move house again!"



I'll repeat again that I was surprised that 800 acres works out to be a plot of land only 1.7 km square.

:) My dream house is that one you drive by while driving through the country. A farm house that was built at the end of the 19th century and has been abandoned for 50 plus years. It's standing out there in the middle of some farmer's property slowly rotting away with trees and scrub surrounding it totally neglected. That's my dream house.

I already live in my dreamhouse. Together with 6 other guys. Can't be arsed to clean up properly. Close to everything. A fridge for beer only. In the summer we grow weed in out back yard... What more can you ask for?

Wouldn't mind living in the Grand Palace.

1/2 of the SADF is HIV positive, they're soon to be dropping like flies from the plague God has sent! The airforce is so laughable they've only managed to train 1 black pilot in 10 years! It's a joke, really, it is. The quality of the armed forces is insanely low, only the mostly white units (Rec Commando) and other such units, are of any worthwhile quality. And they are rife with right-wingers.

Besides, VolkFront and AWB have nearly 200,000 armed members, don't forget Boeremag either.


It's all falling so neatly into place, predestination, a beautiful reality.
Riiiight......because the allies of South Africa, the rest of Africa, the EU, the United States, NATO, the UN, and nearly every other major power in the world are going to let that happen.

So, next time you have your delusional dreams that a bunch of freaky survivalists who all think that their South Africa should be a whites-only club and the only way to get it that way is through force and that this force will succeed......well, keep hoping they all go to South Africa and try. Because that's over 200,000 failures to society and lice upon the human race who will be exterminated. But it's nice to keep dreaming...

And back on thread topic. I would just love to have a nice white house.....right inside the metro DC area.....1600 Pennsylvania Avenue......yeah.

I like how people attack my dreams, it really shows what kind of loser they are, when they attack someone's dream of a house.... This reminds me of a time someone started attacking my dream (in 7th grade) of being a baseball player. Well, I told him I hoped his mom would die, and as it turns out, she did die. Serves him right for attacking my dream, and I hope that it happens to the people that attack mine.

Are you the leader of a global criminal network? Do you have a little white cat?


Yes, I do have a little white cat. Her name is Daphnie.

The dog is Chuckie.

Edit: That picture is at the lake house, on one of the fingerlakes in New York, its very nice out there, and I'd like to have an estate there.

Kahta may be the single most paranoid person I have ever heard of, at least that wasn't schizophrenic.

I'm not paranoid, just well prepared.

So...Your saying that like to get what you want at the expense at someone's life?

-9 on the respect meter. Your at -78 and counting now.

No, I'm saying that when known enemies of mine attack my dreams, my wishes towards them come true. Another time in 7th grade (7th grade was the low point of my life), a kid that bullied me, pushed me, made fun of me, and told others to do so, every single day of the school year, well, I prayed to God to kill him, and God struck him down while he was riding a bike.

Edit:

What is a respect meter? Is it anything I should care about?

Na, not really. Just my way of saying I respect you about as much as I respect dog poop.

Anyways, you like "having God" kill people for you? And I thought Christians were against death of all kinds. But then again, Fanatics will be Fanatics.

Your dreamhouse is neat and all... but please tell more about this: "God struck him down while he was riding a bike". Please.

Imprecatory prayer, it's what Christians use to have God smite their enemies.

As for me, God has shown me the end of the world; I have seen the final apocalyptic battle between the army of light and the army of darkness. (it was a dream)

I think I'm going to start writing all of my dreams of the end world, down into a book and possibly publishing it.

God has told me, in dreams, several key events, by date, and some have already come to pass.

Anyways, you like "having God" kill people for you? And I thought Christians were against death of all kinds. But then again, Fanatics will be Fanatics.


You're thinking of Arminianism.

God killed him, because he was reprobate, and I was Elect, and God answered the prayers of Elect, to kill the reprobate asshole.

Your dreamhouse is neat and all... but please tell more about this: "God struck him down while he was riding a bike". Please.


He was riding his bike on the white line of a road (in america, joggers, runners, walkers, and bikers are supposed to stay as far away as possible from this white line, or on the sidewalk.) There was a sidewalk where he was killed, but he rode on the white line, and was hit by a car.

...I prayed to God to kill him, and God struck him down while he was riding a bike.

There was a sidewalk where he was killed, but he rode on the white line, and was hit by a car.

So God is a car?

So God is a car? Don't be stupid. It is a proven fact that God can drive a car.

No, God willed it to happen. He willed the woman to hit this kid with her car. She was reprobate too, she was driving while high on drugs.

Don't be stupid. It is a proven fact that God can drive a car.

Skipping over the facetious for the moment: we either have God over-ruling the free will that he has given to the driver, or seizing on the opportunity to tweak physical laws so that the car steering (for example) behaves in an unnatural manner, yes?

No, God willed it to happen. He willed the woman to hit this kid with her car. She was reprobate too, she was driving while high on drugs.

So God took away her free will?

You want an answer or keep on playing BWO..?

So God took away her free will?
You're forgetting, these guys don't believe in free will. We're just some glorified movie for god to watch...

So God took away her free will?


Yes, she thought she was in control, but actually God was. Its questionable as to how much free will she had, since she was not sober.

Na, not really. Just my way of saying I respect you about as much as I respect dog poop.Dog poop can fertilize and help things grow. It is useful. I have a lot more respect for dog poop than many people!

For everyone familiar with Boston, I'd love to have a townhouse on Commonwealth Ave. Something with at least enough of a backyard to have a small garden in would be ideal. It would need to be fairly spacious, with plenty of storage room, a big kitchen, wood floors throughout and a jacuzzi tub in one of the bathrooms. I'm starting to get picky and sound like a real estate agent, so I'll stop there :D

Dog poop can fertilize and help things grow. It is useful. I have a lot more respect for dog poop than many people!

Actually, dog poop has bacteria in it that if ingested in a human, will harm them, it also has ammounia (sp) in it, which kills plants.

Yes, she thought she was in control, but actually God was. Its questionable as to how much free will she had, since she was not sober.

Do you believe that whenever you pray for something, and it comes to pass, it is the always the work of God intervening, or could it just be a natural occurence? And do natural occurences count as answered prayers?

Lets keep god out of this one thread? Pretty please?

I've always thought it could be kinda cool living on an island. I'd want an island about 70 hectares about 5 minutes sail from a city (around 300k pop).

This is so you could have your own cool little patch of the earth, but wouldn't be isolated from the world and wouldn't have to live like a hermit.

And of course as well as barbed wire and a 15 foot fence (everyone's standard for a dream home) I'd need mines to prevent ships landing and AAA batteries to shoot down those pesky black helicopters ;) :p

Actually, I think some of the self-reliancy stuff is quite cool. I'd want solar panels or a small wind turbine (Well, I'd need them on an island) and would need tanked water.

And a cool boat. It'd be fun meeting your mates at the marina and sailing them over for the day.

Hehe, I love designing my dream home, I doodle ideas on grid paper when really bored. As well as that I'd have cool little places hidden around the island to have a BBQ and relax on the beach in hammocks with beer. Perfect.

It's probably not the smartest idea to mine the water around the island if your main access is by boat. A few radar artillery stations perhaps?

Actually, that's not true. In Texas, if you own your property, you also own the dirt beneath it, all the way to the center of the Earth, and you own the air, all the way to the end of the Universe.

That's why you can cut the branches off a neighbor's tree if it's growing over your property. The United States, however, can allow planes to fly over your house, but you can petition to get any air traffic over your house stopped. Which is why sonic booms are not allowed over residential area any more.

We do own our air.

Texas also has no private beaches. All Texas beaches are owned by the public. From the high tide mark to the water.Though this doesn't help much at high tide.

My family home! (http://www.skiallamerica.com/images/chalets/photos/sunstar1.jpg)

For those of you into the survivalist mentality, there are a limited number of these little pretties on the market every now and then...

rather unique homes (http://www.missilebases.com/new/)

I've seen them in other states too.

Patra Caeser, those Queenlander homes were just lovely..I'm an archictect / interior designer at heart and I love seeing the beautiful homes.

They definitely would fit in in Louisiana, and other southern states.

This is one of the most beautifully situated houses in the world, and the house itself isn't half bad ( I love understatement )

Falling Water by Frank Lloyd Wright (http://www.istruzione.it/argomenti/esamedistato/prove/img/wright.jpg)

h'ok

I think a nice 20-acre plot of land with a 50,000 sq foot house custom designed by me. Two game rooms, indoor movie theatre, sub-basement grotto style swimming pool (a la playboy mansion) fully tendered floral garden with walk through path, a large field that can be configured for any sport. I'd also have my house custom built over a stream so one of the lower rooms opens into a patio on the stream (Frank Lloyd Wright design) I'd have a five-car garage for my various cars that i so desire in life, a 2200 sq ft guest casita, small personal vinyard, a master family room with hand-tooled stone fireplace, done in classic victorian styling. My home would also be in a wooded area surrounded by old-growth forest. Porbably in NorCal, Oregon, or Washington State.

I think that might be it./

CK: you picked one of my favorite houses (Falling Water, FLW)

BLARGistania :) Wright is one of my all time favorite archictects...and his 'known' houses come on the market so rarely that when ( last fall ) one did - in northern California, with a working vinyard, special pool and stream set up -I just about cried - they wanted less than two million for it. It went so fast that tears barely had time to fall.

sigh. . .so it will be. I live right near his design school (Scottsdale, AZ) and near the road named after him.

He was riding his bike on the white line of a road (in america, joggers, runners, walkers, and bikers are supposed to stay as far away as possible from this white line, or on the sidewalk.) There was a sidewalk where he was killed, but he rode on the white line, and was hit by a car.Actually Kahta, in most of America, unless there's a bike lane, bicycles are considered vehicles and expected to share the road with cars, not the sidewalk or pedestrian areas. These laws are usually overlooked for children.

Another potential dream house for me:

Being the only house on an alien planet. uber-tech lasers vaporize even the smallest insect that goes near. An unlimited supply of ICBM's to launch at every spaceship that comes near the planet. An uber-nuke to supernova the planet's sun in case spaceships come near the system. It also has a ST:TNG-style holodeck, a greenhouse, a ST:TNG replicator, and loads of other stuff.

Any babe that gets through such a defense mechanism is worthy of my heart :D

Is anyone else apart from em gettting 'interesting' psychological insights into posters based on what constitutes their dream house?
