stoicism
Indifference to pleasure or pain; impassiveness. (i agree with the pain part in general, the pleasure part is the one i disagree with)

stoicism
my adoptive father is a person who is in my eyes very stoical. this is a trait and way of life that i respect and deplore at the same time. basically in some circumstances i think it incredibly suitable and in others not at all suitable. surely if i was my adoptive fathers son i would have inhereted a certain degree of stoicism but i am not and wear my heart on my sleeve, or enough that if a friend offends me it really eats away at me and i feel the need to share etc. i have met a situation which i feel calls for stoicism (im trying to be more stoical in general) and have got my dad to tell me how he would deal with the situation, i am following his advice and it is torturous. im just wondering if you stoics out there would care to tell me how you manage it and just give me some guidance because my dad wont go into emotion in much detail. by guidance i mean if you actually really have to try hard at it, or does it just come to you naturally?

my science teacher has an iq of 162, which is pretty formidable. he believes in god. although he did spend like 18 months researching the bible to see if it was bull**** or not, and he came to the conclusion that it was more likely to be true than bs so thats just one more clever person who believes in god. personally i dont.

im not a one for polls to be honest and i know this topic has been much discussed but i dont recall a poll sooooooo: personally i would rather wait that extra year and get a game that really is something special. obviously this isnt the case for all games but there are quite few which would have benefited from more development time, to the extent that they were out and out classics.......
