    on a cosmic level we are all insignificant, but that doesn't make our basic existence any less thrilling. plus, being known for some sort of atrocity isn't going instill some sort of great meaning into your life. it would just make you a jerk.

      You are right, we are all insignificant. So your idea of what a jerk is, is even less significant than your physical existence. So you can be average, I'll be eradicating endangered species in my Humvee wearing a coat made of bald eagle feathers.

      @nout grammar is the set of structural rules that governs the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in any given natural language. Grammar =/= spelling mistake.

    I died in a terrible terrorist attack, after saving a thousand newborn kittens, their mothers, and saving 5 human babies. I had to kill 25 people to save them though. I died trying to rescue a group of school children who were trapped under a car, which exploded.

    For all the people that vote red. As of now you are living an average life and will be forgotten. So why haven't you done something terrible to be remembered? Because you would rather not do something terrible, therefore you would rather live an average life.

    I'm happy with my life, so long as I enjoyed it, I'm happy. However, if I were to go down in history for something bad, I'd probably be able to teach the world something, therefore bettering the future... tough choice really.

    Not to be a horrible person, but do you know how many people know who Hitler is, and joke about him over the Internet? I would rather be a god in history books.

    That depends. If it was like Hitler and actually doing something good, but being branded as evil then Red. If it is arbitrarily evil then blue.
