My goal in life...

In reality, we think it's a perfectly fine and fun goal to aspire to, and we all wish him the best. However, to be honest, the thread probably wouldn't reach out of responses like "good luck!" or "that's a cute goal

" if we had responded seriously. Instead, we hope the OP does not take any unintended offense and hope that he may have a laugh at his unintended side effects and maybe even play along.</serious>

Edit: HAHA, told you!

I'm glad someone knows irony when they see it. XP

I thought about making it incredibly blatant, but what's the fun in that?

And if I had, I doubt I would have gotten responses like this:

You probably think you live free, but yet you are bound by all this expectations from your society "you should have a job to be useful in life".

Yet this man here, in this very thread, shows his way of freedom, a totally unrestriced way of thinking, a way of making a wish wich is bound by nothing but his pure fantasy, and then you are bashing him for thinking in a free way. I for one support this fellows life goal (even if it wasn't seriously his life goal) and I think he should have the freedom to wish and do(in a dream) as he wants.

I think you both missed the mark completely. Funny, considering Sabre was so kind as to put on his serious tags and explain the situation before you even started typing.

Oh, and I won't bother nitpicking through Lad's response and tearing into it (which I could do easily, since you've got some glaring errors and ironic assumptions in there), since you've both already doomed yourself by posting a serious response to something completely sarcastic and nonsensical.

That's his job, mate.

He'd get ~~beaten mercilessly~~ strongly reprimanded if he were to stray from the Grand Design so meticulously laid out by DV's All-Powerful, All-Seeing Overlord.

but really, how dare you post a thread with such poor goals, honestly! Kids, these days. It's a fact that NO ONE here has had any thoughts more stupid than this. What does this mean to you, you ask? Just that you're that you're now the dreamviews village idiot.

You've surely destroyed your entire life with this thread.

I know you're probably not being serious, but this aggressive personal attack was simply uncalled for. It's just plain mean spirited and lacks any subtlety at all.

Try harder next time, plox?

This is true...but I would still be supportive even if ~~The staff doesn't beat, abuse, and whip me everyday to make me more supportive~~ it wasn't my job.

Haha, thanks Mzzkc.

Though I think you misinterpreted Ladusence's response. I don't think he was seriously arguing your points at all; it sounded instead like he was also kidding in the very same vein that you were, just pretending to be the wholehearted supporter character rather than the harsh critic. Though, I could be wrong; his "even if it wasn't seriously his life goal" statement is fishy (why would he acknowledge the very idea we're playing up ignorance of?), but I hope he was kidding because his response is really funny if read in the appropriate tone.

As to the "true topic" (is there any?); visiting South Park in an LD is actually a really interesting idea. I'd like to see how my mind would make the transition between reality and cartoon, and would my mind be able to come up with comedy on the spot to accurately reflect the shows?

Lol, if you look closely you'll see the real reason behind my satirical remark at Lad's comical comment. Or at least comical for me, and probably some others.

I think you took his comment seriously.

"Yet this man here, in this very thread, shows his way of freedom",

.. Personally, I think it was pretty obvious. ;P

EDIT: What Sabre said.

Given the dude's completely straight-faced post history, I highly doubt he was being satirical. Indeed, I think he was being completely serious.

Yes, it'd be funny either way, considering how absurd it is to consider restricting your goals in life to experiencing a manufactured world "freedom." Something about imagination, or pushing the boundaries of reality, on the other hand, sure, I could see that.

Still, I'd be happy to admit I'm wrong. Because the alternative would be heartbreaking.

Lots of luck, WILDs, DEILD chaining, and DILDs off of FAs. I still remember a lot of them, even though I never bothered to write any down.

No but in all seriousness, I was being satirical because I assumed he was making a joke. Although I tend to make assumptions readily, so I may be/probably am wrong.

**Ladusence** · 08-26-2011 01:58 PM

Sorry guys for the confusion

, my message actually had "This post shouldn't be read with a high level of seriouslness" underneath it, but I though it was pretty obvious so I editted it out.

I am serious about that we should support whatever somebody wants to achieve in a lucid dream, but the way I posted it was obviously not the way I would normally post. xD

**Mzzkc** · 08-26-2011 02:28 PM

Lol, I admit defeat then, good sirs.

**Sageous** · 08-26-2011 04:29 PM

LOL

If there were a "Best Thread on the Forum" award, this one ought to get it! I even think I managed to spot some valuable insights on goals through my tears of laughter!
