They are basically the same thing.

Basically, but there is a difference in conotation that you won't find in a dictionary definition. You would say the boundaries of a land, correct? And, by conquest, those boundaries could be extended. But, you wouldn't say the limitations of that land, unless it could not be expanded any further.

So if we extend out boundaries we get fatter?

You guys are hopeless.. Try to instill an ideal of philosophy and get denounced for it. Oh well. Continue on with your randomness. And I was trying to make the difference clear because I used both to explain my view, and I wasn't using them as Synonyms.

Hopeless? Them? Perhaps, but I? Heh, you're a funny guy. And when did I disagree, or "denounce" you? Perhaps you were being the close-minded person.

At least he has an opinion and sticks with it, no matter what we say.

Alright, here's a hate rant of my own. Probably something no one else here can relate to, but 'tis one none-the-less.
Ever have the feeling like you want to cry, even not knowing why? I mean, just being overwhelmed with emotion to the point that you need to burst? That's what crying is, really, right? A vent of your built-up emotions all at once. That's why you feel so exhausted afterwards.. That's why it's almost enjoyable. It's a relief. Well.. I hate that I can't cry. It's cruel that I can't. I have the impulse, but the overwhelming emotions won't come out, they just fester inside. And it's not that I'm sad why I want to cry. In fact, I don't know why. I'm probably as NOT sad as I have been in a long time. But it's there all the same. Mostly when I'm alone. I try to distract myself when I have no one else around, but it's becoming harder to do that. Not even my online game helps anymore.
But, enough rambling. This hate rant is about things you simply cannot express.

There are times when I feel like I should cry, and I don't. And times that I shouldnt cry, that I do. It's kind of twisted really...Crying may be one thing to do to release your built up emotions, but there are alternatives. You, for example seem to write lots of poetry. You put your feelings on paper and show all of us. Crying is a physical representation of the emotions we hold inside, which is exactly the same as your poetry. We all see the toil inside you from your poetry.

I have that feeling all of the time, Sorrows. I want to cry... but sometimes I cannot. So all of that emotion becomes bottled up. Finally, after a month or longer of no tears and bottled emotions, I will suddenly have the dam within me burst, and I will cry. I have only once actually sobbed, though... and I never want to do it again.

Well, My Dam won't break. It just keeps filling up. I have been writing poetry a lot lately, but it doesn't seem to help the feeling at all, just fuels it when I read my own work.
