  1. What is a substance? It’s a difficult question. Descartes tried to define humans as a thinking substance, but he never really explained properly what that is. I think I have substance, I am a substance of some kind but I really have no idea what that is. So how do I know what I am? Maybe there is no substance to me after all. I can’t answer.

  5. Substance is what we hope to fill ourselves with. Substance is what every person screams at their young son or daughter to provide when faced with inevitable difficulties in life.

    How do we attain that?

  25. The special edition of Metal Gear Solid 2. I’ve never played this game, although I’ve always wanted to! I was once led to believe that it was bad from my best friend, so I decided to read a synopsis so I wouldn’t have to play it. Only later did I realize that she wanted to buy it for me, and she just didn’t want me to buy it by myself!

    Now with MGS4 coming out, I really want to play this game.

  34. People lack substance,
    We read papers with no message
    We have relationships with no meaning
    We listen to music that sounds like words being thrown together out of one of the above-mentioned newspapers.

    There’s nothing to it, we have no substance, and the bigger idiots we are, the happier we are about it. You have no substance.
