When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for. amirite?

Wow this is cheesy

by Anonymous 14 years ago

How? I think that would work for many people. Because even if you're not sure, in a split second your sub concious will quickly scream what it wants.

(.): As is if anybody makes truly important decisions, by the flip of a coin.. this is just another mushy, non-sensical and uninspiring post, that appeals to little teenage girls. But then again, that's what most of the users on this site is made of.

(,): You're an idiot. It says in the post "not because it settles the question for you", meaning that they don't actually make the decision based on how the coin lands. All it's saying is that it helps you realize what you really want, which helps you make the decision if you were stuck beforehand.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

So... when in doubt, throw a coin in the air? This is stupid and you know it.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

(,): I know it sounds stupid, but strangely it works. If you're faced with two things and you can't pick between them and you do something that you can't control and that'll pick for you (like flipping a coin, asking someone else to pick, whatever), in the moment when it's about to be decided for you, you'll realize what you really want to do. It just makes you realize something, as stupid and cheesy as it is.

Yeah it is a little cheesy, but you know it's true. It's a deep post and whoever disagrees can die in a hole for all I care. Because whoever disagrees, clearly has not had a really hard desicion to make. And if you haven't had that yet then you truly haven't lived.

If someone hasn't had to make an extremely hard decision in their life, then they haven't truly lived? Well that's certainly a bold statement directed at people you don't know.

then thats probably where he got it i dont care as long as its not a repost you shouldent be complaining

I'm not complaining, I'm just saying you shouldn't say that his post is "creative and touching" if he didn't come up with it in the first place.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Well smart ass how the hell was i supposed to know that he stumbled on it considering i said that it is creative and touching before you came on here and started hating?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

You can call it hating, but I'm not the one getting all defensive about it. All I'm saying is that it's not his idea, and he didn't give credit where credit is due. Calm down, buddy.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

There are far too many variables. It may seem deep and meaningful at first glance, but spare it more than a second's thought, and it really doesn't apply.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It depends on the situation you're in. If it's like "Hmm, should I go to Pizza Hut or Domino's tonight?" then it works because it's a simple question. But with actual important things where your first instinct might not always be right, then it doesn't apply.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It's best with easy, non-important decisions. Like, " What do I want to eat?" or "Which movie should I rent?"

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Even tho there's truth to this, most of the times we found ourselves stuck in a choice, we are unable to make it NOT because we do not know what we want but because we fear, do not like or do not want to do the opposite which is nearly always the right thing to do. You may toss that coin up, and in that moment what you want will shout strong right from within, but its still nothing you couldn't know already before tossing it. You were likely simply hiding it from yourself but in full conscience of it beforehand.
