Totally opposed to it! Particularly in the cosmetics testing area. The validity of animal experimentation is also questionable in most instances and it is only with human clinical trials that results can be relied upon.
Something is not better than nothing! There is nothing more lonely than being with someone whom you don't love and vice versa. Take your time, chat with people online, but also go out and meet them in the real world. Never settle for less than love.
@ Callim: Free will is distinct from informed decision making which knowing the outcome would imply. Free will is surely, a freedom to choose whichever path you wish, with or without knowing the outcome.
@ Callin: I was chatting to a nuclear physicist working on the Big Bang theory in the US and he explained it to me in the same way as I did. But maybe my mind was away with the fairies, too, and I got it all mixed up.
I know little on String Theory etc. But is it not simplified by saying that time consists of past, present and future strings intertwined. This accounts for the 'dimensions'. Take a piece of yarn which consists of various threads and cut it - where it has been cut you will find all the threads are at the same level. So at any given point in time you will have a 'you' in the past, present, future and all its permeations at the exact same point. Or have I got it all wrong?
Hey Patrick Agree with all except for No. 1. Here no one stands to the left or right on the escalators, just where ever you want and if someone needs to go past they must ask. Was in Hong Kong a month ago and there people must stand on the left with others passing on the right. Get's confusing..... Another pet hate of mine is acronyms - pure verbal laziness.
Dag Jarred. Miskien moet jy meer in Nederlands skryf - daar is mense hier wat dit kan verstaan. En nee, ek probeer nie om Nederlands te skryf nie, dis Afrikaans.
Hi Glenn Last night I was feeling the same way as you....except in terms of the ugliness that some men spill out against women. It's been an eye opener for me to see how much anger, bitterness, fear and anger there is in both men and women. But having said that, there are some good people here, too, who are willing to respect others as human beings and to accept that there will always be different views from the ones they hold. Stay on and you might meet them. I wish you all the best in finding that which you seek.
Oi! I'm here Nonsmoker....where's Georgie boy?? Have to agree with you India, they rock....but then all the other age groups here have impressed me....at least some of them.
RE: I gave my employer notice yesterday...
Great! Hope it all works out perfectly for you.
