So give my your definition of paradise

[Champ]

Mine would be a nice small town on an island filled with the nicest houses and the nicest cars(enviromental friendly of course). Everybody in the town is pretty straight foward and honest, meaning no one will try to fuck you over. Of course how could I forget living there with a significant other. Lots of swimming pools. Nice weather most of the time but I love snow or rain every now and then so it would snow or rain every now and then. There would be football games all the time, not organized but the kind of football I used to play in the yard with my friends. You run whatever route you want and catch like 22 touchdown passes in a game. Go back on defense and pick the ball off and take it back for a touchdown. Also basketball games too, and outside the town is nothing but Weed plants. :smoke: Plus there would be a democratic mayor and no freepers! My mind is just running with ideas, there is much more I could add to this so I leave it at that. What is your definition of paradise.

1. Complete and total isolation

No humans.

[Champ]

2. Sounds great

:thumbsup:

3. The work I love would come without assholes

and fucktards. I'd always have enough money in the bank to take care of my needs and a few modest wants. And any day I wanted to lay around with a particularly wonderful man I know and boink until we got friction burns it would be so.

*sigh*

4. endLess bag of ganja

and video games.

5. 10 square miles

A valley. All mine. That no one could ever, for any reason, take away from me. No roads visible from the valley, no airplanes, space shuttles, or satellites allowed overhead. Completely and totally private.

6. Yes

Same with my island, there would be roads but it would be totally excommunicated from the outside world, none of what you said above.

15. Right now

I live on a street zoned industrial. There is an old tract behind me, mostly working poor families with kids of all ages. Across the street is a truck yard. A train track runs next to my house across a field, connecting a lumber yard to the main track about a quarter of a mile to the west. Down the street is a flight test center and future commercial airport. My street itself is a main access to the biggest road connecting the west and east side of town. Right now I can hear dogs barking, kids yelling, cars, a big truck, an airplane, and a siren. No train at the moment, thankfully, but 5 or so pass by the main track every 24 hours or so.

For 12 years I lived out in the middle of nowhere, a mile from neighbors and 3 miles from the nearest street light. I've been here 3 years now and still haven't gotten comfortable.

7. Heaven is a place...

Where the beer is German.
The cooking is French.
The police are English.
And the women are Spanish.

Hell is a place
Where the beer is French.
The cooking is English.
The police are German.
And the women are Spanish.

8. I know where that town is...

A lovely little town full of restored old houses. Most of the people who live there can walk into town on broad, well-maintained sidewalks to visit the shops. There are a couple of bookstores, clothing stores, a small grocery, a fish market, and small ethnic restaurants. A large well-maintained public library has lots of computers and Ethernet ports if you want to bring your own. In the afternoon, happy, well-fed children walk home from school, mothers push babies in strollers, old people walk their dogs. The town is largely white but still manages to be ethnically diverse with a fair percentage of black and asian residents. There is little crime, wonderful municiple services, excellent police protection, a local hospital...

There is just one little problem with this town--it's Sewickley, Pennsylvania and I can't afford to live there. Neither can you.

9. For me...it's a tropical island....

in the middle of nowhere, beautiful women (I'm the only guy ;)), beaches, sun, and isolation away from the modern world. No politics. No technology. No Wal-Marts. No McDonalds. Nothing but me and the women. :)

10. It's January 2005....

and I'm watching John Kerry be inaugurated as POTUS... and there are a lot of democrats, socialists, independents and greens coming into congress, state legislatures, city councils and governor's mansions on his coattails.
A big bag of ghastly stinky smoke would help too....

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Twenty acres with a nice farmhouse and a big airy barn to go and

write in. Two children who never squabble.... A stand of trees, a meadow so I could show my son what a meadow is. Ahhhh. That would be paradise.

12. Paradise?

Wherever the inhabitants have matured beyond their need for imaginary gods.

13. Wood and water

Like in Turner & Hooch -- Mara Jean would live on the docks in a little cabin like where that old man -- Hooch's first owner -- lived before he got killed.

I also would like to live in a place similar to the land of the Wookies, if anyone has read the Star Wars children's books.

Wood and water -- two crucial elements -- put me close to the elements -- I am happy.

[slinkerwink]

14. A Paradise full of liberals, cute women, and low grocery prices so

that I can easily buy whatever I want to cook. Also a nice small Victorian home near the Bay, a couple of dogs, my partner by my side, and three beautiful kids...
