This is, well, a rediculous question. Blogger asked me this question in my profile and I found it to be pretty darn stupid. What does the answer to this question have to do with me? What would you learn about my feelings, psyche, or being from the answer i give to this question? So now i ask you, what kind of tape makes the best sculpture? What does the askwer say about you? Why would any one care???

Maybe it could describe our personality, like mine, I try to be funny in my answer which is sort of like me.
Hey my question is "when you open your eyes under water, do you worry about drowning" How dumb is that. They should ask questions about what kind of animals you have or atleast something that has to do with you.
This is mine: The first time you had your shoes taken off - how surprised were you to see that you still had toes?
I said: We have toes? What? I should read up on this scentific discover!
That might be funny.
Sarah, I assume you were sarcastic when you answered your question, because you said the question should be about us. And you answered that it was your phobia.
Here's a question: Did you talk during a certain movie to minimize being scared?
TOM I DID NOT TALK IN ORDER TO BE SCARED. Anyone one who says so is lieing.
So you are saying that you didn't laugh at all, either? I was just assuming just because the laughing and talking came from you three. But I think you did talk and laugh. Admit it. I admitted that I jumped a couple times. The first step in getting over a problem is admitting it! Or however it goes.
sorry that thing should read "I DID NOT TALK IN ORDER TO NOT BE SCARED." What I mean is that yes I did talk, but I didn't do it so that I wouldn't be scared.
So you still don't believe with you talking affected the movie somewhat?
Yes Tom that's what I know to be true. I know myself better than you guys do, so I KNOW that the talking did not add or subtract to the scare level of the movie, for me anyway.
Sarah, did you know what you did? I do. Without trying to persuade you, I have finally won the spider post, but I am posting it here, just because you said it here. You said you are the only person that really knows you, so the same is for me about the spiders. I win!
Tom there are things that some people know about themselves that no one else knows ( except God). Being afraid of this movie was one of them. Other things are just generally ( spelling?)true about everyone, like being afraid of spiders.
If I can't prove that you were scared of that movie, then you can't prove that spiders scare me.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, Tom re-read my last comment ( before this one) I am so right you see and I wim
Well, Sarah, I am not going down without a fight. However, I won't go down. In Language Arts class, we learned about logical errors. I think that has to do with this discussion. You can't assume everyone has a fear of spiders. You know when someone wants you to do drugs or have sex or something, they lie and say, "Everyone is doing it." And we all know that isn't true. So, we can't assume that everyone has the same fear as you. I am winning.
Tom saying that everyone DOES something is different from saying that everyone HAS something. We all have hearts right? And just 'cause all docters say that we do doesn't mean that we don't. Having a heart has nothing to do with peer-pressure ( Gahhhhh I'm too tired to spell) Same thing with aracnaphobia ( that is spelled completely wrong) So you say that things aren't true just because everyone says them? Well being afraid of the Grudge would be something that I do, not something that happens to me. So I'm not scared of the Grudge, 'cause I don't want to give into peer-pressure.
Don't read this Tom.
For all you people who think that I have screwed up logic. I really don't think this insanely most of the time so ignore the stupidity of my arguments. Tom! I told you not to read this!
"So you say that things aren't true just because everyone says them?"
No, my point was that you can't assume everything is the same as you. You are assuming that I was afraid of spiders, because you are afraid of spiders. You are basing your opinion on you. I am basing my opinion on we are all different, and I can guarantee you that someone, and many others, in this world aren't afraid of spiders. God did make us all different, Sarah.
Other than that statement you said, I had no idea what you are talking about. Type in a language I can refer to.
Ok Tom what I meant was that being afraid of spiders is a natural condition, like being born with a heart. Not a whole lot of people born without hearts. Other fears, like being afraid of a movie that's not scary, are caused br peer-pressure and are not a natural condition. I am winning on the other post by the way.
You still can't prove that that is naturally part of us.
And wouldn't you saying that I am afraid of spiders be peer-pressure? If so, you are wrong, again.
So, these people who are scared of balloons popping (I saw this on Maury once, I don't know if it is true or not.) were brought up, people told them that they are scary?
The last time I checked the other post, it would only display one line of it. Maybe it reached its limit if it has one.
Nope and I won. Tom you don't understand my argument, therefore I win. I can still post on the spider post so your computer must be broken.
Explain it in words that I can read in less than a minute for me to know what you are talking about.
Explain it in words that I can read in less than a minute for me to know what you are talking about. This was very a "post-last-to-win" post.
Hey you watch Maury? I thought you would be in school then.
Yes, I used to, when it was on after 3:00, but you are changing the subject a little bit. How about you put your explanation in other words, so I can understand them.
Ok, but this is the last time I explain it.
There are things that we are born with, things that are natural to the human condition. Like hearts, lungs, and mind stuff such as a fear of spiders.
Other things are not natural to us, and are brought on by peer-pressure. Like drugs and being afraid of movies that aren't scary.
I have resisted being afraid of dumb movies, because I can. I can't however resist being afraid of spiders, just like I can't resist having a heart.
Sarah, if being afraid of spiders is in our minds from the beginning of our life, how is it that we don't have scares of movies in the beginning of our life?
I have another thing to say. It has to do with another logical error. In your post, the one before my last one, you talked about "we" and then you switched to "I". Is that because you are talking about a situation in YOUR life and not OUR life? If so, why the exception? And how isn't afraid of movies a mind thing? You think it is not part of your mind, but of peer-pressure.
We can resist having fear of spiders if we don't have fears of them. But like you said, you have fears of them.
Well for one I had to use "I" at that point because I was using myself as an example and I couldn't use you because I don't know if you are afraid of the Grudge or not.
Ok Tom do you agree that to some point everybody has a healthy fear of heights?
Most everyone does. Samething with spiders.
I am not completely terrified of heights but I do have a health fear of them.
I am a lot more afraid of spiders, probably even more afraid of them than you. You probably just have a healthy fear of them. That is still, however, a fear.
And I didn't say you had to be afraid of the spiders because they are a mind thing,they are a mind thing. That is not however why you are afraid of them. The fear of them is a natural thing that we are born with.
Almost all peer-pressure is a mind thing.
I think that if John and Kenric hadn't made such a big deal out of the Grudge I might have been a little more scared of it. But their peer-pressure to be scared of it had a negative effect on me causing me to not be scared of it.
Now, here is something to chew on:
Ok, you say fears of spiders are natural, whether healthy or not. How about if someone has never seen a spider. Are they still naturally afraid of spiders? I would have never been afraid of aliens in cornfields if I didn't see the movie first. Because you are afraid of spiders when you see one, right?
I am afraid of spiders even when I can't see them. You can be afraid of hieghts and not know ot til you are up there. You can't use the alian in corn field example because you said yourself that you were just joking about being afraid of them.
Sarah, you are going to have to find what I exactly said in the spider post. I said I was joking about the cornfields, but I am pretty sure that I said the thought of having aliens in the cornfields would scare me. Not the cornfields, themselves. If I am wrong about that post, I am sure, I am human.
I will rephrase my earlier post, not the one I just posted.
Ok, in the dictionary, fear means "the emotion or the condition of being afraid." Since you said fears are natural, we are born with it. The condition here is that everyone is born with a fear of spiders (I am agreeing with you on that). And in the dictionary, being afraid means "feeling fear." This would be the time when you realize that you have the fears of spiders and act on it, by screaming or something like that. You said earlier that peer pressure is a mind thing. In order to be afraid, your fears of spiders have to be stimulated by something. In that case, what I said to start that whole agrument of being afraid of spiders, was that I wasn't "afraid of spiders." I may have fears of spiders, but my fears were not stimulated.
Please reply and if you don't understand, tell me so.
NO Tom, I meant that fear is caused by different things. Sometimes the reason people are afraid of something is because they were taught to be, like their Mother or someone was afraid of something so now they are. Some people are just afraid of heights for no real reason, they are just scared. This would be a fear that they are born with , just because someone had never been high up on a building or other high place doesn't mean that they are not afraid of heights, they are, but they just don't know it yet.
Since I can't really decifer what you are saying, I will just say that "fear" and "being afraid" are totally different words.
Ok Tom I'll just drop that argument since you can't understand it. If anyone else thinks that I made sense now would be the time to say so.
Dropping the agrument? Sarah, that is not like you at all. I assume you just admitted defeat, even though you say you didn't. I am winning.
... duct tape... not spiders... come on...
Jennifer, this has something to do with duct tape. We just got sidetracked a little.
Duct tape is used ( among other things) to kill spiders. So we haven't stolen this thread. And Tom no way am I admiting defeat...You just don't understand things the same way I do so I'll have to stick to arguments that you can understand.
You have already admitted defeat. I win!
NO I DIDN"T TOM. I admit that I win
Then what did you mean at The Ark on Saturday? I am winning.
I meant that at that time I was tired so you should listen to me....AT THAT TIME. Not now and not before now, JUST AT THAT TIME>
You are being sarcastic right now, because you didn't say you weren't being sarcastic.
That confused you. But anyway, I am winning.
No tom, but i was being excessively serious so you had to assume that i wasn't being sarcastic.
P.S. this post is NOT sarcastic.
Oh, this is a post that never ends... But actually it will, when I beat you!!!!
Thanks a lot, you got that dumb song stuck in my head :) WEll I'll win.
To answer Jennifer's question to begin with, I would say no tape makes the best sculpture. Why do I say this? Because Sarah can't stop arguing that her opinions are always right, so I would use all the tape to tape her mouth shut.
But then again, Sarah can do the same to me.
These arguments are like circles. They will never end.
By the way, you're welcome..to give up anyway.
Yeah so Tom, how are you going to tape my mouth shut over the internet? Huh? Yeah that's what I thought. And I win agian cause I got the 50th post. Wow I am always right, and I'm feeling better...
Maybe I will have a roll of tape ready when I see you next. You aren't feeling good now...because I am winning!!
My feeling good isn't dependent on your winning, because you're going to lose anyway. And I'll have my own and better duct tape next time I see you. That would be an interesting fight....
Forget about the water tower fight, we will have a duct tape fight.
and I'll win ( i'm awesome in duct tape fights)
You are going to have to try better in the next duct tape fight, since I beat you yesterday (Sat., 25th).
This is also the last time I post on this post too. And you didn't win!!! I did not have my awesome duct tape with me at the time. So you can't say that you won because it's like fighting a duel with a person who has no sword and saying that you win.
But you arranged for the "duel" to be the next time we see each other. Well, I guess I am 2-0 at "getting the last post."
