<p>like when an older sibling takes your arm and makes you punch yourself?</p>
<p>ok. well i have concluded that this game is a metaphor for life. the older sibling acts as the system, and you're just a regular joe.</p>
<p>That's deep.</p>
<p>very deep.</p>
<p>^ not really.</p>
<p>yeah really</p>
<p>um, in my own defense, it actually is quite deep</p>

<p>You're the next Kant, mj93. =p</p>
<p>I hate Kant.</p>
<p>I have to read Kant soon. I'm excited.</p>

<p>I know. I was being sarcastic.</p>
<p>Oh. Nevermind, then. Hehe.</p>
<p>Its okay. Its hard to get sarcasm to translate over the internet...</p>
<p>and how!... :p</p>
<p>^^ Haha, agreed ;).</p>
<p>back to the topic at hand. what if your opinion on my interpretation of the stop hitting yourself game?</p>
