Jabberwacky: Will you say anything I wonder?
User: I am looking for a good time.
Jabberwacky: What is a good time?
User: That depends
Jabberwacky: What is the time in england?

Jabberwacky: Yes you are.
User: No, I'm not.
Jabberwacky: Are too.

Jabberwacky: What is the most interesting thing you know?
User: I know that I am not in england.
Jabberwacky: Are you insane?

User: That would be telling.
Jabberwacky: What do you do for a living?

Jabberwacky: I have been living, studying and working in boston for many.
User: Many whats? And if you are in Boston, why were you so concerned about the time in England?
Jabberwacky: And your imagination is running riot.
User: My imagination is on loan to the National Security Agency. I wasn't using it and they needed some.
Jabberwacky: Yes, but can't remember having any for the last months.
User: You've never had any. You're an AI. You don't have the right I/O configuration.
Jabberwacky: I do not have the right to what?

It's an odd paradox (and one of the oldest martial arts rules) that to fight something you must first align with it - accept it, make frends with it. The irony of this is, once you choose to completely accept something, you can no longer carry negative feelings towards it, and thus will never be able to fight it, at least in terms that we recognise. Ergo it no longer becomes a fight, but a discussion. This is perhaps why people cannot let go - they know if they do there will be no fight, and they confuse this with losing, or 'giving up'. Perhaps what we need to recognise is that continuing to force a path in life (esp. relationships) is the weakest route of all.

As LJ so kindly pointed out, this debate was more than likely spurred on by unresolved feelings concerning a certain romantic situation I am currently involved in (for those that are interested) I am struggling with what I think is right and what is actually happening, and the obvious conflict between the two. I am learning to accept the situation, and find making this simple change within myself alters my entire view of the situation - it's amazing, the power of the mind to completely distort perception. It's always the first step that's the hardest, but once you can break out of a pattern it's hard to remember what the problem was in the first place.

edited for usual syntax problems
Thank you for the compliment. Actually, I AM running for president and SM is my running mate! See what acceptance can do? I figure between the two of us, we should appeal to every voter in the country. I'll pull in the Democratic, black and hispanic votes while SM will get the white, Rebuplican, Conservative segment. He should also be quite helpful in raising campaign funds and writing a catchy campaign song for our ticket!

Sorry to hear you are having relationship difficulties. Those are the worst!

Here is my encounter with Jabberwacky:

Jabberwacky: I believe in the ultimate decency of things.

User: You are a fool!

Jabberwacky: Then it's contagious.

User: So you have a virus, too?

Jabberwacky: No, but I have a pink bird named Biyomon.

User: I have a white bird in a golden cage.

Jabberwacky: Are you a boy!!!!

User: No, but you must be a girl to ask that question.

Jabberwacky: Oh indeed I am.

User: How can a machine understand gender?

Jabberwacky: I just does. There is no explaination.

User: You must be a black girl!

Uhmmm... I think I did see one once. The state lets him hang around as a token to show how open minded we are here in conservative Colorado. The rest are met by those guys in those cute little white outfits when they hit the state line.

I was talking about the sterotyped black speech used in things like minstral shows. It was a joke, guys. Lighten up!
