Have you ever wondered if there might be a parallel universe? Someone may have already lived our individual lives years before we were born.

Yes. But I've decided not to spend too much time worrying about it. Course I could be in the one where we don't know for sure other parallel universes exist and I've decided not to spend time worrying about it. But somewhere there might be one where they do know parallel universes definitely exist and another me is worrying about it, but since I don't know for sure parallel universes exist I've decided not to spend too much time worrying about it. But I might have their existence confirmed tomorrow in which case I would be in one where I am worrying about it but only just started to do so.

There's probably one where hoppy is a gay, liberal, vegetarian earning a living as an interior designer :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Sorry just occurred to me:sneaky:

I've also wondered if I am living my life over again until I get it right.

I decided not to bother studying philosophy too much because it can be depressing trying to decide of you exist or not. What happens of you convince yourself you are a figment of your own imagination:eek:

hoppy, Lincoln oversaw the greatest expansion of the federal government (over state's right's) in the nation's history. He was deeply hated by half the country. Especially he was hated by racists.
