Universe: The multiple dimensions where forms of existence oscillate, interconnect, and evolve into increasingly complex systems.

Of course people *often* fear death because they fear the unknown. And death is *the* biggest unknown a human being will ever personally experience. Everyone already knows that. Take that premise, and expand upon it. There may be more than four basic groups of people, but humor me: Group A...

I'd like to reiterate my recent point, concerning a "different" way of interpretting the open-ended question, "why does one fear death?" In a previous post on pg. 3 of this thread, I gave a more traditional analysis of why people fear death. There's another way to answer. Like any other...

Sure - but you are NOT allowed to distribute copies of your backup. The same laws that apply to the original, apply to the backup, yes? Don't even pretend that filesharing your "archival" copies is moral... Sure - but you are NOT allowed to distribute copies of your backup. The same laws...

I don't fault you for repeating what the US government says. But I should. Al-Qaeda is yet another USA funded and trained "operation", just like Saddam, Bin Laden, and the Taliban. Just like Hamas is but an Israeli "operation" when one gets right down to it... My point is, this...

Obviously the situation would be different. Can you make your point? But then again, you aren't asking if the producers and/or distributors of food, water, or crude oil would allow such "matter-sharing". Nope. You do understand what patents and copyrights are, don't you? :confused: As...

http://www.cheniere.org/correspondence/120403a.htm Aren't you intrigued enough by the text I quoted earlier, to look into the possibility that Maxwell indeed got shafted? (P)owers (T)hat (B)e - also known as TPTB, "The Powers That Be". Oh, I'm sorry - I should have anticipated being taken so...

http://educate-yourself.org/dc/gwentowersbybyronweeks.shtml Do not pick on the source; address specific passages in the text. Do not pretend that today's PTB have changed from yesterday's. Do not pretend that scientists aren't below being "underhanded". Petroleum and Drugs are paramount to the...

Isn't that how mainstream science already works? For example, suppression of evidence gathered by Deep Impact... IS 'absence'. Thus, mainstream scientists can continue parroting the "dirty snowball" theory. http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2005/arch05/050704predictions.htm...

"SO OLD"? Are you being serious? How long is 25 years compared to, say, centuries? Forgive me, but your statement's just a "little" dogmatic. Should I list some examples of scientific research that took far longer than 25 years to "produce"? I sense you committing a logical fallacy based on the...

"Power source that turns physics on its head" Welcome. I am curious about what you knowledgeable folks here at PF think, regarding this current event. I searched for any threads which already regard the topic, but found only two with very limited discussion. Fuel's paradise? Power source that...

[FONT="Times"]Something I wrote at a different net haunt of mine... [FONT="Verdana"][SIZE="1"]Bush Picks Alito for Supreme Court - http://news.yahoo.com/s/... G-Dub: "Judge Alito ... has more prior judicial experience than any Supreme Court nominee in more than 70 years" Can you say...

There is no "worm", eh? There is no "infection", eh? There is no "stuck", eh? After hearing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", many people "hear" the song again and again in their mind. These people rarely attempt to hear the song, it just "happens". If you don't like "poetic" terms, that's your...

Why rely on analogy, when analyzing the actual paradigm itself is simple enough? Most people make inaccurate analogies, as evidenced by this very thread. For example, someone owning "infinite" loaves of bread does NOT correspond to the situation of file-sharing. My goodness, just look at what...
