How do you guys always go to the extremes like this? Where the hell did I
say there isn't *anything* worth fighting for? I never said that, and I
never ever would agree with that. There most certainly are things to fight
for, even die for, I just said that to me, such a thing as
"beliefs" is not one of them. Hell, I change my mind about what I
believe in all the time (well not really but could just as well - it's all
just in my head).

No you better think about it. Beliefs are abstract, they're nothing real.
They may as well prove to be wrong. You'd kill and die for something that
tomorrow may turn out to have been complete crap? Think about it.
