Yes, I have decided to say farewell. I feel that the forums have become so commercial lately and there are so many topics being repeated. I need new food for thought. So..
Farewell and Good Luck to everyone in whatever they do!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Kindly,
Thallium
Allright. What I am having problems with is redox-reactions and titration. I have no specific questions. But my textbook does not make it clear enough. I see only figures and numbers and that makes it difficult. I can't learn from numbers and figures. I learn from definitions, written...
Yes, this is true - in some lucky cases. Nor everyone meets death peacefully after having lived a long life. To some, death comes in form of and accident or an unpredictable illness.
I second this. It seems that we cling to life because of an anxiety.
I would not live forever if I was...
TenYears, I understand what you are saying ,except, which God do you believe in? Has this God left any words for Mankind, like the Bible. the Koran or anything else? Or is he but a vision, a pantheistic being that you with your own eyes, and only yours, can see inside of your surroundings?
Good question. All the scientists I have heard say that cloning a human being is their goal. They never say why. Two benefits, if they indeed are benefits, are smarter minds and that the parents can have a substitute of their dying son or daughter. Cynical if you ask me. But that's science, I...
Tenyears, I did not call you a prophet. I feel that your views are somewhat New Age-inspred. Which god are you talking about?
Evo, excuse my rudeness, but I think you want to know why I believe in God so that you may understand more of the craziness of believers. I mean no harm, but I cannot...
I have been searching like crazy for different and easier material on organic chemistry for higher level students on the net, but it's hard to find. I assume that there are knowledgeable participants on this part of the PF and I would like to ask if someone knows of a good link? :smile...
But the expectation is not final. Expecting death does not mean that you are accepting it. Acception and expectation is a habit, something you must get accustomed to, not the meaning with growing old and getting closer to death. Isn't that so?
(...That's allright, take your time..! :nod)
Such riddles are sickening. This message seems to me nothing but delusive and New Age-inspired. Being part of the world soul etc. And the ultimate goal is pleasure. I just read about it. You talk as if you were a herder. What kind of prophetic gift do you suppose that you possess?
Evo, I am disappointed. My impression of you was that you were a bright, mature woman. Hee I can see nothing but prejudgement. But I do not ask for anything else.
I don't believe in organized religion either. That is manipulation and may cause mass pressure. I am not emotionally frail. That...
I don't feel that having mattered something during your life will calm your fear of death. When having tasted the goods of life and seen many things, one rarely wants that to be taken away. Death means the end of your perceptions and mind, and you will not be able to feel anything any longer...
Technology today is so focused on efficieny, proficiency and producivity. Cloning to create better humans, faster transportation, longer work-days and computerised everyday experience. Is it worth it?
For anyone who believes in evolution: Have you created machines that we ourselves cannot...
Well, I am a living proof that faith is useful, as are many hundreds of thousands of other human beings. I do not call my faith a 'religion'. That word has a different meaning that my 'faith' has. I am against any religious institutionalization, as it prooves that so many religious leaders are...
Death is inacceptable and always will be. No one is looking forward to it. Fear comes because no one knows what it is like to die or if death leads you to a new life or not. Speaking for myself, I found peace in God. Without him I would not have any reason not to dread death.
Norway has always been hostile towards a membership in the EU. The reason why is because we know how much control will be taken from the Norwegian parliament. Teeny tiny Norway will not have a prick to say if it submits to the superpower. Norway is very fine economically. In fact, one of the few...
Yep, yep. I'll have to find updated information on the connections between Norway and the EU, and all the other countries that have signed such treaties with the EU, before I can say more.
Well, I stick to my opinion that it is a imperialism. Not like what it was in the Age of Imperialism/the Victorian period. Rather a modern, "diplomatic" and sneaky strategy.
My whole country is not proud to be participating. Any interaction with the EU, many Norwegians dislike and regard as a threat to our nation.
Thanks for adding the treaty!
Yes. I can see that very clearly in my own country. Norway is not a member of the EU, but it still has to adapt to many of the EU's rules and regulations. I do not know too much about these restrictions, but the EU does have a negative influence on Norwegian trade and even Norwegian law. It is...
The imperialists used Darwin's theory of evolution and the socialdarwinism that derived from his theories of the weak and strong in nature, to justify the imperialists' cause.
So how do you define imperialism? I am thinking of the EU as a new form of imperialism. A seemingly "good" one.
Well how do the proponents of socialdarwinism justify it? And does imperialism necessarily have to be viewed a negative? Does anyone think that the EU expansion boarders on imperialism? I do. The only difference is that now the countries have to apply for membership. All other non-member...
I'd just like to call it freedom of speech. I could not hold back my reaction as that would have made me feel sick. Growing up..
Edit: I was not passing judgement. It was but a comment, an outburst, not a prison sentence.
Plasma, plasma, plasma! :bugeye: Or perhaps lasers! I have heard there are good possibilities within these fields. Lasers and plasma mean so much to our everyday lives and there is much exciting to explore!
And psychology is also an exciting field with many aspects the explore and many...
ISRAEL, not Palestine, has belonged to the around 40,000 people who escaped from Egypt about 2000 BC. The Palestinians came after that and claimed their land. They managed to live peacefully side by side for a long, long time, until nationalist ideas were sown in the heads of Palestinians...
Someone mentioned that Chimps have sex with one another, females, males, and SPECIFICALLY: mother and son. When it should be acceptable that human men and women have sex with their own gender because that is the case in the animal world, then why is not incest acceptable? As long as it happens...
I know that in some places you may start a Master of Literature(MLitt) from which you may be transferred to a PhD-programme if what you have is approved by the Department concerned.
Signatures.. Heeeeeelllppppp!
I am trying and trying and trying and trying and trying, but I cannot find where I can edit my signature! I'm desperate. I need heeeellllpppp!
I can't even see my current signautre. It says Vestu Heil ok Sæl, but it's gone from the screen. Why?
You are so right! Sexuality is a natural part of life. It didn't come from the Devil, but when it is abused in society like it is today, then I'll have to say that the sex described in the Bible is FAR AWAY from today's pornography! :tongue2:
