Good Idea/Bad Idea: The Forum Game

Good Idea/Bad Idea: The Forum Game

Life lessons will be learned!

The rules here are simple: Someone posts a good idea, then someone else posts a bad idea. The catch? The bad idea must be a messed-up, corrupted version of the good idea.

For Example:

Good Idea: getting a front-row seat at a boxing match

Bad Idea: Getting an in-ring seat at a boxing match.

Have fun!

Bad Idea: Too expensive, sorry.

Good Idea: Indian Hinduism features the "Gods" of their religion entering the earth on what they call (or what it's translated to) "flying cities", and ancient illustrations of such literally demonstrate flying buildings carrying the "Gods".  I find that interesting, as the Greek, Roman, Scottish and Celtic "Gods" all required machines of sorts to move around as well, Chariots, shields and flying horses.  Mayhaps the "Gods" of our religions are realy something more... star-bound?

Bad Idea: reading heretical documents.

After all, every day I am in enemy territory; my foes are heresy, blasphemy, doubt, and unbelief. With the sword of faith, the armor of righteousness, and the might of zeal I combat them.

Good Idea: faith, for it is eternal.

As for your 'good idea', Twilight, I don't get it.

EDIT: also a good idea: getting post #1337 to prove your leetness.

Bad idea:  "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."  You bet on the wrong pony.  The greatest is love.

Good idea:  Read the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman.

Bad Idea: assuming love cannot be a part of faith. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that love is an integral part of faith.

Good Idea: reading Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds.
