What do the folks here think about this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutchinson_effect

aychamo, I am guessing this is your first love. That's always the hardest one. Good luck with dealing with it. No matter what you do she will be in your mind for your whole life, just learn to accept that now and it will make things a bit easier. I doubt that you loved every minute...

i have become comfortably numb

How do you know? My advice to everyone on this subject. You cannot purpote to know what God thinks and why he/she/it does things, if indeed he/she/it exists. If you truly want to find God, there is only one place you will ever be able to do this. And that is within yourself. Unless you...

First let me say I support the Hedonistic Imperative 100%. So my opinion is biased. But I do not believe we need pain. There are those who would argue that pain makes you who you are. And while that may be true, that does not imply that we need pain. It merely implies you would be a different...

nice post Prometheus! Very informative :smile:

I can't even imagine living a life like that, not that its a bad thing, I just don't know how to think of the world without sights/sounds.

So what does a person, born deaf, sound like in his/her own head? I know what I sound like in my head. I wonder what these people sound like. Do they think in visual's? And if that's the case what does a Blind and Deaf person sound like or see like in his/her head? :smile:

yes the matrix does have me, except this time when I leave it, I won't be coming back, I will be making my own :)

If I'm not mistaken I believe we have proved conclusively that humans did not evolve from apes. We believe that we may have a common ancestor, but I am fairly sure we have proven we did not evolve from apes. Its one of the great scientific lies that is perpetuated as truth throughout the...

Some may think we have freewill, and to some extent we do. Even though there are societal laws stating we cannot do certain things (i.e. murder, rape) that does not prevent us from doing those things. So in that sense we have freewill. But to me, we do not have true freewill because we are...

wouldn't perfection by ominpresense, omnipotent and ominscent all at once?

What about the suicide issue in relation to reincarnation? Does this affect reinacarnation negatively. Does it change the outcome at all? For arguments sake, let's assume reincarnation can and does happen, on the premise that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change form...

What I find funny about this is Bush's record, oh wait there isn't one :smile: All this criticism towards Kerry's record, yet no matter what the outcome, it is still better than Bush's. I have tremendous respect for anyone that fights in a war. Kerry did that. Bush did not. :surprise:
