Hello fellow skeptics!

#1  Postby Minimolas » Nov 24, 2012 3:15 am

My name is Nicholas James Evans. I, and most likely everyone here, want to better understand humanity and life and see an improvement in our species. While we all have different views and ideas, it is best that we keep open minds and come together for discussion. You all know this, and that is why I'm very happy to have found this forum.

Now a little about myself.

I consider myself a minimalist which is basically a person who wants to get rid of excess possessions and live a simpler life with less. My username comes from the combination of Minimalist and Nicholas. Minimolas

I love nature, comedy, logic, limited government, and good talks. :grin:
Atheist. Anarcho-capitalist.

Well, from your avatar picture, it sure seems like you're living according to your principles; no clothes! :grin:

"...well, there you have it then slot..." went the goblin now, continuing "...ample proof that the first sign of madness most probably isn't so much talking to oneself, but addressing another facet of one's personality in a portrayed character here, and then from there inventing yet another character to reply to it now...", whereupon the slot opened its mouth wide in a very "continue goblin, I'm hungry" stance, not really caring what the goblin was talking about just so long as it was edible, so the goblin just continued "...yes slot, jolly good thing that the printing press was invented in my view and that the general level of literacy amongst humans increased from there, I mean, prior to that, most writers were just thought possessed, something resulting in a good bonfire like joan of arc received, which admittedly is overkill in most people's books even if it kept their numbers down...", "...yes goblin, I see your point I suppose but look what happens when we let those writetypes actually delve into their writing, I mean do you think there really are enough writer's forums..., ..." somehow the slot had stopped in mid track, bulking even at thinking upon the notion of some writer's-asylum here, but then finding the strength within to continue, saying "...no, I mean enough places on forumland able to coop with this added influx now, I mean if everyone then turned into writers, there would be no one normal left talk to now, the place would be awash with multi-personality disfunctionals instead...", which was why their eyes then turned towards the new member Minimolas here, perhaps he was still normal now, their hopes were high indeed as they welcomed him hither
