Human weakness

What kind of world would it be if it was okay with everybody for a guy to walk up to a female and punch her in the face, without restraint, thought, or remorse, no matter what she did to him? People should absolutely be allowed to do anything they want to, but without consequences, without limits to behavior, without any checks or balances, without cops, without jails, without laws, human weakness would prevail. Human weakness can also prevail with excessive laws and limitations and excessive policing. Anything done to excess keeps things out of balance.

It's not doing anything they want to that a lot people don't like or agree with, it's facing the consequences of every action that they tend to be wary of, and with a lot of people, knowing they can go to jail over something they wanted to do, but did not get away with keeps them from doing it. Human weakness would plaque everything if there was only limitless actions, but not limitless consequences that went with it.

Chicago

Originally meant "Place of the wild onion". Also called the city with the big shoulders, Chicago might be your kind of town like it was Frank Sinatra's. Then again it might not be your kind of town.

Chicago is also known as Chi Town these days.

Downtight

You wouldn't hear a downtight person complaining about having nothing to show for a vacation, or spending a day around the house. Downtight people who complain about having nothing to show for their vacation or lifestyle are posing as downtight people.

Guy who wants to be cool-Those girls are downtight as fuck dude, don't you want to kick it with them?
Guy who doesn't want to hang out with a guy that wants to be cool-They seem like it, I don't kick it with posers though. I'm gonna hang out with the unpopular kids and be lame, I'll see you around.

Size of the dog in the fight

The size of the dog in the fight isn't everything, but because knowing which limits are imagined and which ones are a reality is a factor, so is the size of a dog in a fight, to some degree. The size of the dog in a fight doesn't determine what the dog really is, that depends on the dog, not on its size. Weakness isn't a size based trait, and neither is how much fight is in something, those traits depend on the individual and not on the size of the individual. Not all smaller dogs have more fight than larger dogs, and not all of them have more fight than mouth even, it depends on the dog. The same is true for larger dogs. Not all larger dogs are underestimaters because they are larger. Recklessness and overconfidence aren't exclusive to only larger dogs, or only smaller dogs. It depends on the dog.

Size of the dog in the fight isn't everything, but it's a factor. Smaller dogs are not without faults any more than larger dogs are. Hopefully no dog loses it's humility and thinks it's changed into a different dog than the one it was as a pup, no matter it's size or experience (recent or past).

Science

A way to think you know more than you do by accessing an unlimited amount of what is already known. A way to attempt to explain everything in the world so that nobody else is right but you.

There are things science doesn't explain, religion doesn't cover, and spiritual people don't see because they think the answer to everything is based on the triumph of the human spirit. They don't believe in anything they don't know, can't see, or can't explain (therefore they don't accept it as anything but insane), but they expect to be accepted by others themselves. They expect compromise and change, but like their enemies, will never change or surrender themselves. There doesn't need to be peace or satisfaction, there never has been peace or satisfaction.

Igloo

An oasis for overnight long haul guys who take what they want. Even truckers can't keep up with guys like these.

Eskimo female-Get out of my igloo or Ill!
Overnight Alaskan guy-Or you'll what call the cops? They're over 200 miles away, ill be in Nome by the time they make it here in the helicopter, you'll feel better if you just pass out now.

Roller coaster

Another way to say you're fucking somebody in a wheelchair.

Paula rode the roller coaster down the hill, got scared and rode the roller coaster back up the hill where she lived happily ever after with her paraplegic man who was too good to live down the hill.
