Quote by marmaladeboyfan(cough cough) only one person got the answer right.....heh heh

STUPID! god! u kno the answr already! dont giv clues! plus, i always tell them if thy got it rght or wrong...and its not like u got the answer either, the only reason u kno is cause i asked u already...and ur gonna read the book that has it...either way NO CLUES!

anyway all of u...well, most of u hav rlly good answrs...ur explanations r rlly good, from the way u explain it, it fits perfectly into the riddle...but there is only 1 rght answr...

and also, wow! sum of u guys put a lot of thought into this! and for pp to soon cum to this thread, like i sed, i always go to every1 and tell them if thy got it rght or not...though for this riddle, it seems like theres more than 1 rght answr 2 me...the place i got it frm only has 1...but u guys hav rlly great answrs!

ctually, if any1 wants to find out if thyre rght, ask...cause thats 2 many pp.

this riddle has to do w/ the way u thnk. it affects u as a person. its a part of evry1's life. its rlly tricky and very long. u hav 2 read it carefully. but please just dont say an answr, talk about it.now that i thnk of it...its kind of like a poem too. also, if u cum up w/ a possible answr, please explain y and dont wry if its wrng or rght. evry1 who tries 2 answr this, ill go tell them if its rght or wrng. oh and 1 more thng, i didnt make this riddle up, i got it frm a book. also, im not rlly concerned w/ the fact that u got the rght answr or not. im more concerned about y u got the answr u got.

I am your constant companion. I am
your greatest helper or heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down
to failure. I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do might just as
well turn over to me and I will be able to do
them quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed-you must merely
be firm with me. Show me exactly how you
want something done and after a few
lessons I will do it automatically. I am the
servant of all great individuals and, alas, of
all failures as well. Those who are great, I
have made great. Those who are failures,
I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work
with all the precision of a machine plus
the intelligence of a human. You may run
me for a profit or run me for ruin-it
makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me,
and I will place the world at your feet. Be
easy with me and I will destroy you.

Who am I?

this is rlly hard. i cudnt evn get it...i thnk u hav to be a genious to get it...

wow, alot of riddles...i thnk there shud be a forum for riddles...as for that riddle...well, it cud be "D" for diesease and of course for death, but lemme thnk, there cud be sumthng worse...hhhmmmmm...ah, "G" for genocide....yes...i thnk that 1s more like death...

yeah i knew it had sumthng to do w/ that, but i kinda forgot the stry.

thats wat i was thnking, life, but if its sumthng u hav throughout ur life, then its not life. and as for the riddle, is it a newspaper? its black and white and its read all over...yeah, ur rght wen u say it outloud, it confuses u.

wait a sec...do u mean its sumthng that begins wen ur born and stops wen u die? or its said the way u rote it?

i kno its really easy. but wat sumtimes confuses pp about it is the morning, afternoon, and evening part. i asked this riddle to other pp and wen i told them the answr, thy sed it didnt kmake sense cause a person doesnt grow that fast. ezzy-m is rght. and i did say it was rlly easy to get. i wanted to see if it was confusing for sum pp, like w/ Aimee1991.

yup, its the ocean. hey! i sed it was easy. the other 1 is harder. its name is "can u solve this riddle?"

merged: 07-08-2006 ~ 03:34am
but now that i thnk of it, it can also be the world...thats a rlly good answr...

ok, im gonna say this. sum pp got it already. and heres tip for pp who dont kno how to get it. start line by line. i mean, ill use luv for an ex. love is in a way hard to overcum and it does spread. and im not rlly sure it can turn into a sickness, but it can turn into an obssesion, so ill use that. and it is very hard to end, and i guess it can be born frm tragedies but this is y we put in the last line, does it rlly die frm miracles? the last 2 lines r huge clues...

merged: 07-08-2006 ~ 02:31am
oh, and heres another clue: i said it can trun into a sickness. not that it is a sickness

puppies rule! thyre catching up!

this riddle doesnt make any sense, but its basically a metaphor. its actually really easy to get. its from an ancient tale. this is really a trick question. ull probably get it. here it is:

In the morning, I walk on four legs.
In the afternoon, I walk on two legs.
In the evening, I walk on three legs.
What am I?

ok, this is another riddle. again me and flyinghigh77 made it. we didnt ask that many pp this riddle. i wanna see wat u guys thnk.

I can be as calm as a sunny day.
Or as violent as a storm.
I can be both a home.
And a cemetary.
I am huge and vast.
What am I?

well, i made a riddle with my friend, flyinghigh77. sum of the pp we asked had trouble w/ it, others didnt. so i wanna see wat u thnk.
here it is:

I'm hard to overcome.
I spread and spread and spread.
I can turn into a sickness.
That's very hard to end.
I'm born from tragedies.
And die from miracles.
What am I?

ok...this is definetly getting heated up! just what i wantede...kyo is definetly winning! haru, momiji, and ayame also have votes! (i voted for momiji)...this is cool! well, whoevers on the yuki side better vote...or else kyo will win! (remember im nuetrsl...even though i dont act like it...haha)

i was just wondering what boys thought about the female fruits basket characters. do u like any of them? y do u like them? do u even read it?

well... ...YES! OF COURSE! ok, im calm now. yes, b/c they like each other (from what ive seen). yuki treats torhu like a princess and kyo treats torhu like his girlfriend. thats a perfect reason right there. but there is that problem that both of them need her (either as a mother or lover...which ever way you think about it) and that they both had a horrible past and the curse...

merged: 05-12-2006 ~ 06:27am
etc...etc...etc...

no! how dare u!? join yuki's side! even though he and kyo are equal (to me), join yuki's side...we need u!

calm down! its just a thread... ...i just wanted to hear different opinions... ...well, so far kyo is winning... ...im going to post a few of the good arguments with this topic (im totally neutral...just so u know... ")...they were actually pretty good arguments...kyo won...of course ( )

Quote by marmaladeboyfan

reasons to love kyo:
1. he's hot
2. he loves tohru (and tohru likes him)
3. he's not secretive unlike that pretty boy and is not scared to say what he thinks
4. he cares about tohru
5. he wants to protect tohru for as long as he can (until he finishes highschool)
6. tohru and kyo looks so cute together
7. he listens to what tohru has to say
8. he's supportive and tells the exact words tohru needs to hear (just the same as with tohru saying the right words to kyo)
9. them two blush more together
10. yuki is to god dam secretive and mysterious and i hate people like that
11. kyo shy but he hides it by being stupid
12. he's good at fighting
13. kyo wouldn't allow akito to say shit about tohru
14. kyo only goal in life is to be with tohru for as long as he can
15. kyo is such a cute flirt (laughing uncontrollably)
16. kyo is 150% better than yuki
(cough) i have more but this should be enough what r UR reasons for that stupid mouse
haha beat that

Quote by kodocha21
here's why your reasons suck (my version)
1)so is Yuki
2)Yuki loves Tohru too
3)being secretive isn't speaking your mind, its not bad either
4)yuki cares about her too!
5)yuki wants to protect her too! everyone does (almost everyone)
6)tohru and yuki look cute too!
7)yuki does too!everyone does! (almost)
8)show me proof and yuki probably does that too
9)torhu blushes with yuki too!
10)who THE HELL WOULD WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY GOT ABUSED!NO ONE!THAT'S THE STUPIDEST REASON I'VE EVER HEARD!NO ONE SAYS "OH!DID YOU KNOW I GET ABUSED? WELL I DO!CAN YOU HELP ME?"THAT'S JUST PLAIN STUPID!WHO CARES IF YUKI DOESN'T TELL TORHU HOW HE GOT ABUSED?THAT'S NOT SOMETHING TO TELL! WEREN'T YOU THE ONE THAT GOT MAD AT YUKI FOR TELLING HER THAT KYO WAS GOING TO BE CONFINED?THAT HURT HER , DIDN'T IT? WELL...YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT IT IS GOOD THAT KYO TOLD HER HOW HE GOT ABUSED!DOESN'T THAT HURT HER TOO?
11)so?yuki's kind of stupid too...i mean what smart person would say "i came on this trip beacause i anted to. im happy to be here"thats just plain stupid
12)yuki's way better than him!stupid idiot! havent you seen how hekicks kyos butt all the time!
13)well..thats plain STUPINESS!WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH KYO!HE CAN GET KILLED! THEN TOHRU WOULD REALLY GET HURT!
14)well...i cant b/c i haven't seen that much...but when i do ...BEWARE!
15)yukis a cute flirt too!thats your opinion!
16)wheres the proof!
every single thing you said is either your opinion, cant be proved, or yuki can either top it or do better! yiou have to do much more than that to convince...if i can backtrack all this when i havent even watched/read that much...imagine how much ill backtrack when i do watch it! remember, yuki and kyo are a tie to me...i might even like haru or momiji more! right now, im just neutral. so you guys have a lot of work to do if youre ganna try convincing me to like the people you like! Well, i guess i topped that! you know ?youre arguments are weak. mabye next time.

Quote by phoenixalcott
hmph.... she has a point there u kno, nehow, but htis time, i m gonna pithc in on the kyoness rules over yuki thingie k?

1. kyo needs tohru cuz she is the only one who cud heal him, like shishou (episode 25 or 26) sed
2. tohru luvs kyo (spoilers) and confesses her luv for him
3.yuki doesnt luv tohru cuz he already likes machi (bk 13 i think and spoilers which i cud show u wen u r done watching th eepisodes)
4.kyo cannot beat yuki in the beginning but in the end, he does beat him in one thing, and that is tohru's luv and affection which is stronger than her luv for yuki even tho yuki doesnt luv her that way
5. yuki is a big flirt and he is stupid cuz he only likes her as a mother yet he still flirts with her (check out the threads that i participated in the ppl say it there 2 so we rnt the onyl ones who say that)
6. yuki is selfish cuz he is only being nice ot every1 cuz he wants to be luved (i dont remember the epispde but he ses that to tohru)

Quote by marmaladeboyfan
grrrrrrrr u know nada! ok lets get a few thing straight
1. yuki doesn't love tohru kyo does yuki think of her like a mother retard
2. kyo has dealt with more things than just turning him into a monster for example:
- his mother did suicide on herself and everyone blames kyo
- he saw tohru's mom dies in front of his eyes and the horrible part was that he could've saved her
- kyo turn into a monster and that made kagura run away from him not allowing him to trust people that easily again
- his father hates him and blames him for everything (his actual father)
- he loves tohru so much that after she said " i love u to him" he ran away and after that tohru falls off a cliff thingie cuz of a landslide
- nobody understands kyo
- kyo is an outsider
- kyo has to go in confinement right after highschool leaving everything and everyone he loved
is that enough for u to udnerstnad that kyo isn't that perfect either....and unlike yuki kyo doens't have parents cuz his father left him and his mother died
3. everyone cares for tohru but not as much as kyo. kyo actually knows her more than anybody else
4. i never said to say it out loud so bluntly about ur secret pass but when u love someone and is able to trust them u should be able to comit that what u say won't matter to the other person cuz they'll still love u and my other point is that being secretive is annoying as hell cuz how ca u help someone who's suffering when they're keeping things from u!
5. yes i know! but kyo was brave enough to stand up for tohru! that's the point! he realizes later on that what he did was stupid and shit so yeah i'm not saying what he did is stupid cuz yes it was it was just that he did made it so sweet
6. not everyone protects her and yes i know most try to protect her from akito but mainly it's kyo and momiji (cuz momiji loves tohru) who truely protect her. for example kyo wouldn't allow haru to get funky on tohru and stuff and not only that but it's the thought. kyo in his own mind wants to protect her. he wants to protect tohru for as long as he can.
7. i say kyo is a better flirt cuz kyo hardly does it so when he does it makes it special and the things he does is adorable yuki just takes stuff out of cosmo or something who the hell would kiss a ribbon i rather see kyo giving tohru a paper-made flower that he made and giving it to her just to make her happier
8. yuki yes is stupid he's been stupid all along. but kyo is a funny stupid cuz his actions makes u laugh that's the stupid i meant not the stupid and their a crappy character cuz if that was it then yuki's stupid.
9. all u've seen is just 1-6 from the books. u don't know anything much about the characters except that kyo is just kyo (a stupid punk) and yuki's yuki (some gently romantic creep) and shigure is shigure (a funny perv) u still don't know all to their past and u don't know how much they have been through and u don't know what each character tinks of tohru from their own perspective so u can't just judge kyo that easily becuz u mainly just read 1/4 of the whole series while i have read 1/2
(breathing) ok i'm calm now. it's just i don't like people who is easily misjudge by kyo and just to let u know this is out for u and franchesky. and i don't like kyo just cuz he's a hottie only i like him so much that i've replace him with yuu and stuff so yeah. kyo isn't just an idiot people

Quote by flyinghigh77
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! YUKI IS WAY MORE MISUDERSTOOD THAN KYOU AND YUKI'S CUTE STUPID IS CUTER THAN THAT STINKY CAT. KARUGA
IS ALL LOVEY DOVEY TO HIM AND HE IS SO MEAN TO HER HE IS SUCH A JERK. AND HOW IS YUKI GOING TO TELL TOHRU ALL ABOUT HIS PAST WHEN KYOU IS PUSHING HIS STINKY SELF ALL UP ON HER. WHY IS HE ALWAYS BEING MEAN TO POOR YUKI CHALLENGING HIM, THAT IDIOT WANTS TO BE IN THE SOHMA FAMILY HE SHOULD AT LEAST LEARN TO BE NICER TO OTHER PEOPLE THAN TOHRU. AND WHERE IS YOUR PROOF THAT YUKI ONLY LOVES TOHRU LIKE A MOTHER AND KYOU IS NOT AN IDIOT. AND WHY DIDN'T HE SAVE TOHRU MOTHER? IF HE HAD THE CHANCE TO BE A GOOD PERSON AND SHOW PEOPLE THAT HE ISN'T WHAT I THINK HE IS, A BAKA-NEKO

well...thats not even 1/4 of the argument...go to my page...marmaladebotfan's page...and flyinghigh77's page to see the rest...it goes on forever, but the argumrnt are really good...there's a bit on every page..so try them all out (only if u want to see wat happens)...and join a side!

oh...and about my vote...its kind of between kyo, yuki, momiji, and hatsuharu...(momiji & hatsuharu r my favs)

merged: 05-12-2006 ~ 02:49am
oh yeah...u can go onto phoenix alcott's page too...

Basically, I'm askingwWho do you think deserves Tohru: Yuki or Kyo? Why? Also...(for all the girls) who do you like the most: Yuki or Kyo? Why?

I can't really answer this question because I'm not that far into the anime

...I'm in the middle... ...so I'd like to hear your opinions...that way I'll get a lot of different opinions...and I'll be able to choose...plus, I want to see what the majority of the people think...

I LOVE FRUITS BASKET! IT'S SO COOL! I ESPECIALLY LOVE KYO AND YUKI AND A
LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE! DON'T YOU LOVE IT? What do you think of it? Do you have any spoilers? If you do, PLEASE TELL ME! Ok, I think I'm ok now. GO FRUITS BASKET!

If you have, what do you think of them?
-Pendragon: a series of 10 books (I'm predicting)
-The Divede: a trilogy
-The Singer of all Songs: a trilogy
-Cirque du Freak: a series of books (who knows how many?)

Do you have any good recomendations?

I know I have. It scares me that I've thought about it. I mean it's not a normal thnig to think about.Even if I did try it...i wouldn't be able to go through with it...would you?

What do you think about death? Does death scare you/ If you had the chance, would you skip it...or would you go through with it?

i think a friend should (most importantly) always be there for you...they should also be honest...loyal...someone you can trust and confide in...and...not judge you by what's on the outside...but whats on the inside, by that i mean...they should take the time to actually listen to you...not just jump to conclusions...that's pretty much it for me
