If you believe in Earth being the one and only planet in the universe and humans being the sole civilization, that's okay. Still, there are scientific formulas that estimate millions of intelligent civilizations on planets in the universe. Whether you believe it or not, what do you think is something unique to our world?

To get you guys started:

Architecture

Violence

Love

Hypothetically, other types of life in the universe may not have these things.

hey everyone :) thanks for reading. here's a link to my flickr photostream.

what do you think of the photos? do i have a good eye? is there anything that you think is a bit too much? some of these photos aren't the best quality, and i'm sorry about that, too. if you guys could give some constructive criticism, or a general analysis, i'd appreciate all of it.

thanks :) arthur.

i'm not looking to buy new soccer cleats as soon as possible, but i can't get this decision off my mind, so i've decided to ask you guys. i'm styck between the nike mercurial superfly II elites, or the superfly III's, which are supposed to be better. i'd also rather have the superfly III's but i do know that the superfly II elites come with a code to access to nike soccer+, a training program that takes course over a year, and i'm left wondering if the program will be extremely helpful to me.

all in all:

1) mercurial superfly III's which are supposedly better, and that i somewhat prefer.

OR

2) mercurial superfly II's, but that come with a soccer+ training program that deems to be useful. is it as good as it sounds?

Well, for starters: I'm into photography, art, music and a bit of writing. They're hobbies, though; not life-long dreams. My friends are all into COD: MW2 and Black Ops. I've played, and it's a really fun game. I bought it on Amazon, but regretted it, because 1) I was afraid it'll interfere with the other things in my life 2) I've heard of some really unsettling stories about video game addiction. I decided to return it, but after playing it again at my friend's house, was pulled into it again. I have decided to set a strict rule for myself; on school days no gaming at all (I never really played video games that much anyway) and on the weekdays, MAXIMUM (seriously maximum here, people) 5 hours. But I'm not so sure about the game, still: play or not? Will it mess up my life (I realize that's hardly a reasonable question)? Will it interfere with my hobbies? Or will I be able to control myself?

The mature rating and the gore doesn't bother me; I can turn most of it off.
