In War there is no prize for the runner up

2 Questions...

Lately I have seen alot of... unintellegent posts lately like 'Argh I have Vodka' and 'mmm Hl2 + Pie = fun' which is basically spam...
This is a littler riddle and who ever solves it gets an appreciation prize so here it is

There are 3 men who's names for arguments sake are Jhon Jim and Billy-joe. 2 of them know each other from the beggining the question will be which character in this riddle is the stranger...

All 3 men step into a bar and exchange glances and get to the counter. Jhon and Jim order a Wild Turkey beer and Billy-joe orders an orange juice, Jhon and Jim stare at Billy-joe as the bar keep says "Do you 3 men know each other?" and Billy-Joe says "All wars are civil wars because all men are brothers..." And everyone stares at him. Jhon, Jim and Billy-joe then discuss many things and know each other a small bit

Now who is the stranger?


2nd Question...

Is there any new news on the VAVLe vs Vivendi case yet?

2 nope

 

[groovy]

all logic points to billy-joe, but if this is a proper riddle, there is a twist somewhere, i can't find it.

 

[Danimal]

it is not a real riddle as I made it up a few seconds ago BUT one of you have figured it out and I will tell you the answer after some other people have posted

Actually would you like to know now or should I wait for other posts?

 

[Raz]

Well, Billy-Joe claims all men are brothers, so that would imply that there actually is no stranger. Not too sure actually, like Groovy said logic points to Billy, but I doubt he's it.

By the way, first post!

That riddle is stupid, as far as I can see.

All three men enter, and exchange glances. They all order drinks. Two stare at a third, then people say ridiculous things.

There is no way of telling who knows each other. Because two order the same drink, because they glance at each other, and because two stare at another does not mean any of them are friends.

The 2 stare at a 3rd becuase Billy-Joe stated that no one is a stranger after the bar keeper asked if the 3 men knew each other Billy-Joe only siad we all are brothers... 2 more guesses and the answer will be posted.

[Edit] It actually states 2 different realationships in terms of friendship on the riddle, you just gotta read it

 

[Iconoclast]

Just post your "answer" now. Nobody really cares and I'd love to see whether what you have to say makes any sense whatsoever.

 

[Danimal]

Okay Iconocast, do you have proof that no one cares? I don't want everyone to love it I was just testing the infadel's intellegence...

Spoiler

The Bar Keeper is the stranger as it clearly states that after Jim and Jhon stare at Billy-Joe they talk to each other and know each other a small bit thus, making them not strangers

 

[Iconoclast]

Please, learn to spell.

Iconoclast, my spelling capabilities have become blunted after tiredness has overcome me...

The common thread of life. Arrogance, ignorance, and just blatantly the human way. Pushing away things that don't fit in our pretty little boxes of golden paper, wrapped nice and tight to be devoured by the next generation of followers. Blind are you if you think you are not a follower. We all follow something. So what is the answer? Free thy mind. Be open to the possibilities of alternate truths and realities, even if that is to risk your own decimation of self and thy own views. No one is better inside, it as a whole that we obtain true completeness. Do not be so afraid at what you may find. Search for the truth. Worry not those of you who know thy self, if your true character is true then it will stand the test of time.

By no means don't take nothing as true or not ground yourself on something, but be open to the possibility that you may need to let that sand flow from your hands and thus grasp something more solid. What do you gain by being a solid block of carbon formed from the opinions and conditioning of just the past? Take this breath of life and bring that carbon some form, shape it from experiences, good and bad. You could have everything, yes. You could also have delusion also. None of us are immune or perfect. Nor do any of us know the truth nor the path ahead.

It's a hard slow growth process. Something that must be a continual thing to keep in constancy. That fear that is in us is a safety mechanism, it trying to keep us safe from ever changing things. An instinctual fear ingrained to try to keep this world and our minds consistent for a natural purpose to help keep us out of the chaos. Change is hard, but it is also an inevitable. So where do we stand?

What's really breaking down our bridge of our generational gaps? What strives to keep us separated from each other? Don't we all as an individual play a part in this mass of civilization? Don't we add just a little spec of our flavor to the whole? Everything small matters to the whole, yet the focus is on things we can't change which is the mass. Change is in yourself. As you change, you add that bit of change to the whole.

Animal, plant, rock, element, or human. We as a whole thrive with each other, without one none will survive. An
ecosystem dependent on cooperation. As one separates the others die. As our world, we as humans need to keep together or the whole will continue to die. We will forget our place in this world and thus no peace of mind. These things apply to everything we have. Though faced with change, adaptation, openness and understanding, not arrogant and ignorant resistance for those things that can't be changed will be the key to our stability.

Don't be threatened, believe what you believe with strength, but still be open. Express and test your beliefs and views in light of change. We will all take our own paths, so in the end only our own perspectives make our paths and choices. By no means do fight for what you think will damage us as a whole, but don't damage and judge people because of your opposition, for that again, effects us as a whole. Use positive tools, not negative, for negative begets negative. If we shut people out, then they will shut us out. Need I bring up as example Columbine High School.

We are all one. I don't believe any of us are truly good or evil. We must come together and stop this foolishness. The hate has to stop. Let love be the voice of reason. I am not perfect. I never will be. I am just a voice, a product of self and of this world. My perspectives are limited as I am one, but I do share a part in this whole. Take my words for what they're worth to you. Even I must step back and examine my own thoughts and follow my own beliefs. Even I create some negative in this world. Like I said I'm not perfect. Let us all put down our arms and come together, we all have something to offer.
Love you all, God bless you (yes even I must profess my beliefs), howl. Take care of yourselves... Don't forget who we are, know thy self...
