Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

I got into a semi-argument with my step-father over politics. I say semi-argument because anybody here on NationStates ought to know by now that debating me is like nailing jell-o to the wall. :)

He called me "part of the problem". To which I replied, "Just part?"

:)

Anyhoo... there's a poll around here somewhere....

I'm part of the problem, of course, because I believe strongly in a hybrid of socialism and libertarianism.

I'm most of the problem. Although solving me would therefore get you most of the solution, so it makes things easy if you can do it..

You are a human Sudoku. :p

You are a human Sudoku. :p

I do Sudoku well when I'm stoned. I guess that means that I should smoke a bowl and solve the world's problems.

I am the solution.

F34R Me!

Candy sounds good. :D


Is that a problem?

Hear, Hear!

If you're not part of the solution you're part of the precipitate.

I love you. I highly suspect that you're male, however. If you are male, please accept my gay!love.

<3 geeks

I like beer

<3 geeks*accpets the gay!love graciously* Why the '!' though?

I was going to refute my geekiness for a while, but then I remembered how I freaked out when I thought I'd lost my favourite screwdriver, and that I own books such as 'H2O: A Biography of Water' and a 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth'. I fail at being a cool kid. :(

What about the suspension? :p

What about the suspension? :pThat just means you're currently under going through emotional turmoil. Eventually you will settle and become part of the precipitate. They always do.

*this post is certified as being 100% humourless* :(

Fapping under the bleachers, definitely.

Whoever built those bleachers and left the little gaps under each seat was an evil genius. My kind of genius!

Under the bleachers?

Amateurs.

Easier for some!

LG should really be a mod.

Yeah, I know he has little Goofballs and is short on sleep.
Yeah, he's got some kind of job.
Yeah, yeah, he's such a nice guy he'd never be able to ban anyone.

But a mod who could slap down "Permabanned, pending a sense of humour." We need that.

What part? Just to be accurate... ;)

I'm a part of many problems, and a few solutions... which problem is this thread actually about?

:D You win the thread.

Problem and Solution, as I create chaos, and then resolve it at my leisure.

Just what I need: Authority. :)

I'm sure the overwhelming majority of people see me as part of the problem in some form or another.

Tap my ass and call me Bud!

I'm the solvent.

Depends on one's point of view. I argue for moderation and for patience. some may see that as being part of the problem, others part of the solution.

I'm the solvent.

YAY! :D

I'm both. My left side is part of the problem, and my right side is part of the solution.

I'm also videotaping the ones fapping under the bleachers.

I am a totally separate problem with a unique and independent solution. The resolution of said problem may, however, give much needed information and experience to solving of the original problem. However, I seem to have eaten the solution in a moment of hunger-induced-frenzy.

I am the solution.

F34R Me!Forty-two, is that you? :confused:

I'm the solution... the final solution!


er...



yeah. >.>

I'm the problem, right up to the point where you start trying to solve me, at which point I become the solution and make you look stupid. Then I vanish once again into the infinite network of problematic solutions and solutionatic problems!

Tap my ass and call me Bud!

I've now had my laugh for the day. Thank you ruffy.

I was part of the solution but I decided to go where the money was. Sorry, guys.

Just like Bach. It's sad, really.

Shiny, expensive things (I've found) alleviate 25% of the sadness.

Closer to 40% in my case, but women are allowed a larger expensive shiny-thing allocation.

Right now, I'm part of the problem.
But I'm working to become part of the solution.

On full moons, I'm a part of the solution. On half moons, I'm a part of the problem. All the other days, I'm just a random floating bubble.

And at 100% of your income, just ask my wife.

Do, but please try to retain a sense of humor while you're about it. There's nothing worse than an overly earnest, humorless idealist.

And at 100% of your income, just ask my wife.

Why else would you work and put up with all that angst, if not to provide expensive shiny things for your wife?

Nothing makes a woman truly sad than lack of shiny, expensive thing.



I didn't say that and you will NOT tell my wife that I did.

Beer, at least until I got married.:D

Any man who tells another mans wife that her husband said something like this, immediately forfiets his man-card.

Until you got married, sure. :D Afterwards, well, you did utter those words ... "I do." That means you certainly will.

Ah, yes. Thank-you. Attend.
