Apparently computers can get infected with viruses, which is just bizarre.

Apparently mine has.

I keep getting windows popping up with all sorts of things I have no interest in seeing, let alone hearing.

How do I make it stop?

ooc: Coming out of discussion with Angela where she attempted to explain safe internet surfing and safe sex at the same time, both of which baffled Adam to no end.

No.

Liar.

These 'ends'? They can involve lives. Involve ripping apart whole civilizations and ending worlds. No. No, they're n ever justifiable.

What if the world is better, stronger, a paradise again after? If people can finally live in peace, without fear, holding their heads high instead of hiding in the shadows of moral decay?

So, what? You choose wrong in order to choose right? That doesn't happen.

I've heard similar words from a man I knew in the past. His name was Adolf Hitler. Ever heard of him? Brilliant man. Fantastic mind. Warped ideas on paradise.

Was God "right" to flood the entire Earth, saving only one family to repopulate it?

Yes, I've heard of him. Met him, even. We didn't get on well.

You're going on mythology I don't believe in. I've always been lead to believe that Gods are merciful above all else.

Funny, you have similar ideals. Not planning on causing a flood of your own, are you?

And I take offense at your deeming my religion mythology. I don't know yours, but I would hope I would have more respect for your beliefs than to term them myth. He is. He didn't wipe humanity from the face of the Earth completely.

No. I am not.

Every mythology was religion at some point. Go far enough into the future and everything comes back to the beginning. In the year 10,000 BC you worshiped the sun, called him "Orb". By 356,000 AD, you lot were worshiping the overwhelming warmth from their home star.

All the same, it's not something I know a great deal about or believe in. Offense isn't meant.

Good. Wouldn't want to have to "take the law" and all that.

Whatever people will believe hundreds of thousands of years from now hardly concerns me and my beliefs at this moment.

You might find it very difficult did you try it.

Right. So, you believe in God and the ark and all that and I don't. Core religious beliefs established. Fantastic.

I'm not the one who would make the first move in this situation. But I am the one who would finish it.

Isn't it just?

Don't tempt me to it just to see what you think you could do. Aren't there laws about that sort of thing--"fixing" the space-time continuum? You can't just go around popping in and out of people's lives and claiming to be "fixing" history. History should be left as it was and people left as they were instead of someone coming along to tear apart the whole fabric of reality and reshape it as they please.

It is.

That's perhaps the most childish thing I've heard in centuries. "Why don't you just watch me do something big and bad but I won't tell you what just so I can see what you'll do". Ask those people you've been talking to about me. Take their opinion into consideration.

I'm a Time Lord. It is what I do.

I don't care what you are. You have no right to mess with people's lives changing history to suit you just because you can.

You're the one talking about great floods and paradise. Leave things as they are.

And if they are not meant to be as the are now? You cannot argue with destiny.

Destiny doesn't exist. The world is made up of the things that men do and the things that they don't.

So don't.

Doesn't exist? And when someone from the future comes along and drags you kicking and screaming into things you never thought to do, because it is what you are meant to do, because you are meant to be the savior of an entire people, a country, a way of life all because that is what history says you did--what is that if not destiny? If you refuse to do it, and history crumbles--what then?

Don't you dare come now and tell me there is no such thing as destiny when my entire life has been shaped by time travelers telling me what it is supposed to be, whether I will it or no.

It's too late for that now.

Sounds like you've got some issues with Time Agents to sort out, then. I'd re-think this supposed destiny you've got planned up. Everything changes, even history. Things re-write. That's how it works. Earth's Time Agents didn't always get that bit right.

There isn't. I've seen time. I know paradoxes, and I know all about that whole destiny bit. Doesn't exist.
