    My little brother is not necessarily my OPPOSITE, but he is a very noble person. I would definitely not describe myself as noble. He bleeds nobility.

    Weird as hell. We're both named Chris (though I HATE being called that...) and both have half-siblings who are way older than us, and even have dads that are way older than our moms.

    I'm not close to any of mine either. In fact last year I almost beat my one half-brother to a bloody pulp because he almost killed my mom (long story).

    My half siblings are, age wise, 52, 49, 47, 46, and 39 years old. The 47-year-old is my half-sister. My mom and dad had a 19-year age difference, with my mom now being 51 years old (you read that right; my oldest half-brother is 3 months older than my mom). My dad would have just turned 70 if he was still alive. I had two full-blooded sisters, one who would be 27 next month and another who would be 14 next January. But both died. I was my mom's miracle child. I'm 24 so I would have been the middle child out of her kids.

    I'm not really close to any of them other than maybe my oldest half-brother, but I never see him anymore. I outright hate my youngest half-brother for what I mentioned before, and another half-brother is on my trout list because he decided my dad was worthless to him.

    As for whether I'm opposite to them or not, I'll focus on my oldest brother. I am very unlike him in a lot of ways. For one he has a troutload of charisma, which I'll admit I don't have at all. He's also built like a football player, and while I have some muscle, I'm still on the skinny side. Even our personalities are totally different. You'd swear the guy's a saint, but I have a hair trigger temper sometimes. So yeah, very different. About the only thing we really share is that we're both two of the more intelligent people in the family.

    What I know of my brother is that he seemed to have been more reckless and outgoing than I was. Don't get me wrong, I was pretty reckless too, but my brother got more injuries than I did.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    My sister and I have the same temperment and interests. We're similar in a lot of ways. Our middle sister is a psychopath though. And our brother is cool, but we don't have many interests in common.

    I don't really look a lot like my older brother, but we apparently have a way of speaking that is similar and some similar mannerisms as well. Other than that he's the complete opposite of me in every way. He's the typical jock, I'm the nerd/hippy/artsy guy. He's very out-going, I'm more introverted. Completely different interests too and so on and so forth.

    I still really like him, though. It's cool to have a sibling that you're completely different from. I think it's something to appreciate. It creates a different dynamic, you're able to learn from each other and mirror yourself in each other in another way.

    Both my older and younger brother are far more social and outgoing than I am. That's about the only big difference I can think of.

    I guess my younger brother has religion and whatnot.

    Well, there has to be at least one in every family. Tends to be the uncle.

    My sister is very different from me. She is almost 12 years younger than me, but the personality differences are obvious; my mom got remarried and really wanted another kid so she could have something to baby. My mom babied the hell out of her, and it shows. She is a girly girl, wannabe hipster, very emotional, very dependent on others, and not very nerdy -- none of which describes me, even at her age. She's also much more outgoing and social than I am. About the only thing we have in common is our sense of humor and the occasional similar taste in movies/TV shows (she watches Doctor Who... but then ruins it by watching everything on the CW). She also doesn't read, whereas I lived in books at her age.
