Are you really that different?

[Rich]

I'm seriously curious. What makes you different? Why are you unique? Are any of us truly unique?

[Danny]

I can pop and crack every bone in my hand over and over again say the alphabet backwards rapidly.. eat a triple whopper in under 5 minutes and not gain anything type 100 wpm and thats about it :P

[Rich]

I must say, these are some interesting answers.

[Rich]

I have DNA as well emo. This is why I'm curious. How do support the notion that you're different? There's gotta be some more essence.

[PhonyMcRingRing]

but you don't have HER DNA. or her specific neurological cytoarchitecture as formed by her unique DNA interacting with her unique experiences. We share a general blueprint, so in some respects we're all the same, we're mostly raised in comparable cultural environments and share similar experiences, so in some respects we're similar, and we all have unique idiosyncrasies, so in some respects we're totally unique. Sameness is a continuum on which we all simultaneously occupy all positions.

[Rich]

nice stab at the crux haha

[Rich]

Another thing: Which overpowers the other? Difference or similarity? I can easily name the differences and similarities, but how can you determine which is more significant (if one is even more significant than the other)?

[Rich]

You answered the question ideally (In my perception). This is what I believe as well but I want to know what other back-rounds people have. Nice to find someone that is similar to me though (or that I'm similar to) :P

[Rich]

I read a lot of people. It would seem there is a finite number of stories lol. Every so often there's a surprise.

[Rich]

interesting. what's the most recent "moment" you've had lol?

[Rich]

haha okay

dude i already hate the youth. there's no distinction between that and what i've believed for about 2 years now. the one difference is that i'm not so much of a pessimist :P besides, I'm sure that this site will be long dead in forty years anyway. I guess that what I'm trying to say is that vigor doesn't make us different as it seems your essay (very elegantly written i might add) indicates. those words indicate that i will attain knowledge and wisdom and look down upon the youth--that i will compare their lives to mine. I don't doubt this, but i feel that this is different from what my entire outlook will be in time. I think that through this mess i just wrote, I'm looking for someone to be so similar to me that I no longer feel unique.

Rich dude... You start of saying "you already hate the the youth".... But for sure you are part of the youth that Kev is talking about. I mean being 18yo your still no where near being your own person. Just another kid following youth trends and still just a product of your parents.

As far as looking for someone simular to you... are you fuckin blind or something. You're just the same as so many kids these days... I'm sure you do have some unique features, again thats only normal.. But there's nothing unique that shows here on Bolt..
You're just the same as many kids that come here and flood the boards with discusions, in a bid to gain popularity. And the same as those many kids you forget popularity is useless without respect.
Like many you've burnt out within a few days. Run out of decent discussions and now resorting to stupid shit like Hooters or Buffulo, etc.. That and the fact you respond to every comment made, but only ever comment on your own questions. And have not yet made one reply to anyone elses discussons All shows your pretty self absorbed.. Not very unique at all.. But like those many, you think you are....
