The title says it all, what do you aim to achieve?

I personally aim to never do a full time job, and to have as little impact on the planet as possible. Ugh, the last bit makes me sound like such it hippie, but people, it just makes sense!

when doing a line my aim to get the sugar up my nose so it can be happy time :$

I aim to line up lots of fancy dressed people and then scim a stone over their faces.
you know the stone skipping over watter thing? but with people.

The toilet. Sometimes I miss, especially when turboed.

I always aim in a line to hit my target. Sometimes, that line is curved, depending on the wind.

To get to the cash register faster than the people in the line I didn't choose.

I fear you will be destined for a life full of disappointment.

Curing cancer may be a tad more realistic.

Curing cancer may be a tad more realistic.

I have the feeling you're right.

:(

when in lines i generally attempt to aim outside of them, as failure to do so is likely to prove embarrassing.
(this pretty much applies to whatever i may happen to be aiming)

If I can bring a smile to one person's face, give a person a piece of advice that makes them feel even just a little bit better, comfort someone who needs it, or get laid; I think I have achieved my goals.

Is it bad that I have no idea?

Life just happens and I try to enjoy the ride.

My aim is two shots to the chest and one to the head.

To get to the cash register faster than the people in the line I didn't choose.

That's why I use area weapons. I aim to live at least to middle age and raise a few hellraisers...

no, that's a good thing.
sorry for the double post

I aim to get to the head of the line, and if that means stabbing a few people and throwing their bodies in nearby ditches, then I'm really sad that I left my stabbing knife at home. I guess I'll just have to wait, then.

To draw it straight and with as few screw ups and squiggles as possible

I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler. :(

Guess I'm not going to make it very far, huh?

when im in line i try to use it as a zen moment. i release all my frustration and tension and try to be pleasant to those around me, not caring that the woman in front of me took 20 items to the 15 item line, paid by EBT that had insufficient funds then dug the rest of the money out of the bottom of her purse.

I would like to someday enter politics and really reform the U.S. It needs a massive overhaul--more than just a spend-thrift shouting "Change!"

Get through university (presuming this damn strike ever ends), then become a writer, if I have the patience and the talent for it. I'm not always sure what I want to do, but I'd rather be a writer than anything else. I'm particularily interested in writing screeplays, so I'm taking film production at university.

Also, live a long and happy life, try to make a lasting and positive impact on the world, and die as a citizen of a free and democratic country.

If you ever win an election, could you try to do something about the damn prison system and the worthless public schools? Also, please don't cut NASA's budget.

I want to live as long as I can, and die gracefully.

Thats a toughy.

I would try to fix the school system because I beleive education is what makes a people great. I would certainly alter the whole legal and prison system if I could; the word "justice" needs to be stricken-out. As for spending, cutting it would be one of my main goals...whether or not NASA suffered would depend on a variety of factors, but I might have a choice between buying shiny space gear and saving lives.

Thats a toughy.

Yes, there is no such thing.

I might have a choice between buying shiny space gear and saving lives.
I'm leaning towards the shiny space gear...

Thats a toughy.

Tell me about it. Combining possible mass extinction-level climate change, terrorism, increased survaillence technology (getting to the point where mass mind control and large-scale genetic engineering are plausible) and even just the current economic crisis, democracy around the world is in considerable danger.

Not to derail this thread, but space exploration is a long-term investment in science, education, and infrastructure. Earth has finite resources, and its just one planet, and sooner or later we'll hit a wall that no amount of recycling will break down. So, think of it, at worst, as a choice between saving lives now, and saving the species later.

If their's one thing in politics that needs to change, its in having politicians who plan for the common good, long-term, and not merely to the next election, the next decade, or even the next century. If we'd been reacting to climate change 50 years ago, or had fully considered the implications of funding Bin Laden back in the eighties, where would we be now? That's a big change that needs to be made, and I don't think even Obama has fully made it. He still lacks the truely long-term vision, I fear.

Speaking of my goals in life, I'd love a chance to get off this planet, or at least contribute to the effort to allow others to do so.

I take it you're so awesome, you never needed to learn how to spell?

Hey, I didn't make that. I'm crazy about my speling. *insert big smiley here*

Rrrrrriiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhhh....t.

I just want to, really want to, be happy.

:eek: I thought we all did? Is not our aim what would make us happy?

I just want to be happy, and to help everybody else be happy too. :)

I aim to protect humanity from global catastrophes. Which, hopefully, will be rare and easily preventable.

My goal in life is to become the commanding general of U.S. Army Aviation. (A Brigadier General command, from all that I've read so far.)

To knock people off of pedestles.

To knock people off of pedestles.
Starting with yourself?
It seems my purpose in life might be to criticize the spelling of other people while they try to justify their purpose in life. I like that.

I aim to set no speed records. My mother was 91 when she died - I aim to be at least 10 years older than that when I die - and fully functional.

Suddenly, I have this strange compulsion to kick your tires.

Oh, changing the thread halfway though now are we? Doesn't matter, my aim in life is still the toilet.

Serve in as many military's as possible. And kill a few more child molesters.

Right now my aim is to get a job, and move back out of my parents house, and then when I'm not working, I'll pursue various interest, such as Paganism, Paranormal, Aviation etc.

I didn't see the comma in there at first Wil, I thought you said Paranormal Aviation. Which sounds cool....

I personally aim to never do a full time job, and to have as little impact on the planet as possible.

So your goal is to be lazier than an egg-sucking dog and accomplish nothing of value? Of course the question then becomes, if you do accomplish something, have you succeeded or failed?

Personally, I'd like to go to Alaska and hunt grizzly bears. Or maybe go to Africa and hunt lions(although that's probably illegal now). So I'll amend that to: Go somewhere else in the world and hunt something dangerous.

lazier than an egg-sucking dog

Hey! Sucking eggs is hard work for a dog!

:tongue:

My aim is to bring about the end of the world... wait, sorry.

My aim is to serve G-d by doing His will and illuminating His works through science. Possibly win a Nobel Prize.

I didn't see the comma in there at first Wil, I thought you said Paranormal Aviation. Which sounds cool....

There are haunted airfields and aircrafts. I remember reading about an L1011 aircraft being haunted.

Ahh found it. A Eastern Airline L1011. Linky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines_Flight_401#The_Ghost_of_Flight_401)

To have most or all of my income come from what's in my head.

Eugh.

Obviously, other than my desire to rule the EU with an iron fist and crown myself KING OF ALL EUROPE AND ITS OVERSEAS TERRITORIES, I'd settle for a quietish life in management with a wife and two kids.

To have most or all of my income come from what's in my head.

That's my aim as well!

*sidles up to CtoaN with axe behind back*

To square the circle

To overthrow the oppressive rule of the bourgeoisie and place control over the means of production in the hands of the proletariat, while abolishing the exploitative and alienating bourgeois democratic system.

By "proletariat", of course, I mean me. And by abolishing democracy, I mean "brutal dictatorship with me at its head, enriching my friends while destroying my enemies".

I'm a conservative communist, I like my communism how its always been done.

house, family, enough money to not have to worry about money, go on holidays, etc.

nothing out of the ordinary. to get there i aim to build up the family business and sell it.... that's my hope.

Right now, to get that marriage over and done with. People expect WAY too much romance from couples these days....

My aim is to make this place a little better.

Why? What could be improved about NSG? :confused:

Superiority in whatever I do.

My aim is to be happy.

And since I'm already happy that means that I've not got nothing anymore to live for.

Which in turn makes me sad.

Which... *head explodes*

Hehe... I do have to work now and then. If NSG paid my wages, I'd be here much more. ;)

paid to post.... i like that idea. beats server admin any day :P


additional aim: get paid to do something i like doing (eg photography, cooking, etc)

By child molesters, do you mean muslims?

Correlation=/=Causation

*reviews OP*
It appears I left off my list of NSGers that insult me in anyway, shape and form, and how I intend to get rid of them.;)

Anyway, how does working a full time job mean I will never achieve anything? I could easily be a part time scientist that cures cancer/AIDS/stupidity. You probably have some, uh, preconcieved misconceptions of the part-time worker, then?

To have most or all of my income come from what's in my head.

So your gonna be a man whore? :p

So your gonna be a man whore? :p

True, he didn't specify which.

1) To make a contribution to society in all ways possible
2) To enjoy life and do what makes me happy

I've tried that, but people aren't quite willing to pay enough, sadly :(
Tried selling paintings, jewellery, do cooking courses, the whole lot. *sigh*

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of the women.

EDIT: Sorry, of course, I really should have backed up this crazy assertion with a source (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo9buo9Mtos)

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of the women.

Dick Cheney? Is that you?

like most natural creatures, to remain living until dead.

i would also, of course, prefer to enjoy the ride, and to do so without raining on anyone else's pee-raid.

Follows one of the best philosophies on life I've ever heard - "if somebody wants to do something, and it doesn't hurt you, don't be a fucking dick about it". It pretty much covers all bases.

Currently to acheive a high grade in my degree so I can go I try to become a successful journalist or radio producer.

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of the women.

A valid aim, to be sure. But what about if your enemies are women? You can't really hear their lamentations if you have literally crushed them under your boot :p

Mine is to become well-known and respect in my field of research (if I can then get paid lots for consultation work that would be a nice extra but getting a Professorship will be enough :D).

Well I've already got at least one paper published... it's a start

I aim to please.

To have most or all of my income come from what's in my head.Yay, imaginary money!

I want my imaginary sanity back then.
wait is sanity in my imagination or am i dreaming?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

A valid aim, to be sure. But what about if your enemies are women? You can't really hear their lamentations if you have literally crushed them under your boot :p


Admittedly the lamentations are shorter, but just as satisfying.

Also, top tip - always leave someone alive until the end for lamentation purposes.

I aim to please.

If I had an euro for every time I've heard that phrase...:D

With a postcount of 2.5 per day, I predict that will be difficult. Kudos for trying, though.
