    They say that the sum of a man's vices is a constant. You don't drink, don't smoke, don't get naughty with girls....What's your vice Steve?


    I believe in reincarnation but the simple thought that I have to start over a tormented life makes me sick.

    Do you believe in soul mates?

    I believe you can meet someone who you click with beyond anyone else you meet, as close to a soul mate as you can get.

    Do you believe in fate?
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    I believe to some extent in fate, decided by our beliefs and actions that drive us to a certain thing. This question reminds me of a favorite quote of mine....


    “From the day of our birth, we were meant for this time and place, and today, we will land an American on the Moon. Whatever happens here today, I will stand behind every decision you will make. We came into this room as a team and we will leave as a team”. Then I told my ground controller to lock the control room doors. “And from now on, no person will leave or enter this room until we have either landed, we have crashed, or we have aborted. Those are the only three outcomes from this time on”.


    Being that fate led me to this quote....


    Who is a person who you see as a great leader in any area of life?

    The cynical fart that I am , I don't really see anybody as a great leader right now.

    Whose quote is that ? ( I assume it was in the Apollo but) - for airshifter

    Do you believe humans will land on another celestial object again during our lifetime?

    Definitely not during my lifetime. But before another human landing I still hope that some green little men would come here and try to communicate with us.

    Would you like to have a close encounter of the third kind?

    I think there are great leaders all around us, but sometimes we have to look for them. Many IMO are people who will never be noticed for their leadership, but it remains.

    As for the quote, it's from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Kr...ranz_Dictum.22 Gene Kranz. Read the section on "The Kranz Dictum".... I believe that should be used as an example of strong leadership, with the emphasis on accountability.

    Gadjo, you know I'm a married man. I would prefer that all advances are more private in the future!

    Seriously though..... I don't know. Even assuming that there would be no probing involved (almost all close encounter claim probing right?) it might be the type of thing that would make a person lose their mind. Surely if one had an experience with life from another planet, without major evidence that couldn't be disputed nobody would believe it. And for that reason you would have to keep it to yourself or expect to be humiliated and ridiculed for sharing it.

    I guess despite that, I would say yes. I already accept that on the grand scale of thing I am but an insignificant blip in a mass of humanity. But I also realize that any one of us insignificant blips has the ability to have a major and significant impact on others. And in some cases, many others.





    Do you think the existence of Bigfoot or Yeti is possible?

    Yes. In fact Yeti is the nickname of one of my annoying coworkers.

    Since airshifter is a married man, I'm just curious: Did you guys bend down on one knee when you popped the question?
    For those who aren't married yet: Do you intend to propose marriage down on one bent knee?

    Don't know really, I guess its something you need to decide once you are planning that moment.

    Do you swim in the sea?

    Love it. Once I enter the sea I don't wanna leave it. My friends say I'm crazy and call me Meduza (jelly fish) or Casha ( from casalot ).

    Do you swim in a river?
