Question of the Day

[ayoub]

Is resistance ever futile?

Definitly...

Sometimes there is no point and in the long run it is just easier to assimilate oneself, or to walk away.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I dunno... While there's breath, there's hope...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Nice song :)

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

Only if it fails.

And even then, it inspires some nice rhetoric for the next generation to try again.

"...for the next generation to try again."

LMFAO!!! I didn't mean for that pun to appear, but since it did...

Cheers!

I made a funny and didn't know it.

:D

But is the point of failure easy to measure?

[kosta-pasta.livejournal.com]

Is that taken from a head of a virgin girl?:)))
ok.
resistance can be different - if it's a violent one, then I guess it's senseless and stupid. and if it's a wise (some kind of "yes" but still doing your own way) then it sounds:)
I love the Chinese kind of proverbs regarding this subject (about being mild and pliant as water but still choosing your way or about a twig of reed that resists the wind by leaning tighter to the ground).
Here is mine Q:Do the questions which don't have answers exist?

"Here is mine Q:Do the questions which don't have answers exist?"

Yes. As a matter of fact, I'm working on one now: What is n/0?

Go to my journal and look up my division by zero tag. I'm even writing to thr head if MIT's math department about it.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

My favourite question without an answer is "How long is a piece of string?"

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the hope for victory never is until you die.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

But as long as you have hope, aren't you resisting?

[amberpixiewolf.livejournal.com]

yes, if you know damnwell you want what it is youre resisting...(am i talking about my relatiomship with a married.......yup)

no, if resistance is neccessary to make yourself heard (ie the anti war demos)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Both sides of the coin there :)

A tale of two rats.....

[warrior-olight.livejournal.com]

Take two rats - plunk one down into the middle of the ocean and the other in a deep well which is slowly filling with water. The ocean bound rat will struggle for a while but then give up and go ahead and drown as there was no hope. The well rat will keep treading water knowing that in the end it will be floated out of the well and to relative safety.

Of course, humans are not rats and we will fight even when it seems futile. I will resist way past futility for people and ideals that I hold close to my heart.

The whole rat thing might be bunk but it sure sounds good.

That's a great way of putting it, bro :D

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

Yep

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

It is? Why?

[xjenavivex.livejournal.com]

who can deny the borg!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Captain Picard can!

[rowanchey.livejournal.com]

When it comes to lust & desire...definitely! ^__~

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Agreed... Both are too tempting!

[the-ravyn.livejournal.com]

No, because if it were, I wouldn't be alive today.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

In that case, Resistance is a wonderful thing!

[miriyasterling.livejournal.com]

Isn't that question a bit to vague to answer?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Of course it is... That way I get a wide variety of answers!

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Totally. Don't they have Cheetos where you live? Pseudo-starch covered in luminously orange "cheese" powder...completely irresistible, despite how repugnant they should be.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yes... We have them...

And they are now calling me...


:P

[ex-xavierism85.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do believe so. Although I'd like to believe that my faith and hope will lead me in this direction of thought.

Hope you're enjoyin' life!!!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Unless you're Joe ;)

[ornjkitty.livejournal.com]

Generally, yes. But the alternatives are worse.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Very well put :)

[soulview.livejournal.com]

Never.

Until there's breath, there's hope :)
