Tater, your feelings about things are the litmus test for your world. Because other people don't use the same chemistry set as you doesn't make it wrong to anyone but you. Hell, I probably got the same litmus paper as you on this specific example, but I know not to try to impose my ego values when trying to put myself in the others position.
Because I don't understand something doesn't mean I can't respect it. Hell, I don't understand women, but I still respect them. Well, some of them.
I'm not convinced of the emissions science myself. I think global warming is a fact but its being touted as caused by the wrong reasons. Land-use has way more to do with it. Cutting down trees and laying asphalt has proven to change the heat absorption factor significantly, whereas the carbon emissions myth is convenient for various liberal causes that have nothing to do with real science.
As for not knowing everything, I agree with you there. Death is the final lesson for all of us.
No, science said the world was round (Aristotle), priest-craft said it was flat. Science said the sun was the center of the system, priest-craft insisted under pain of Inquisition that the Earth was (Galileo: Si Moveo). Science says cook your pork really well, priest-craft says pigs are spiritually unclean. And on and on and on...
You're basing this on your own assumptions of science and of human nature tater. Falsifiability. One room, one set of people, one set of really foxy dogs, doesn't prove a thing. A hundred repetitions with the same result, and we have data to base a hypothesis on.
I refuse to be pigeon-holed. MB tests have shown that I'm about 60% ENFP and 40% ISTJ, so I'll have to decline any arrogance accusations based on this.
I'm not saying I'm not arrogant, but I think its for other reasons.
Those who can, do, those who can't, teach. Since the universe cannot do anything out of volition, it is instead our teacher. The universe exists as an accreted body only because we do. The implicate order is nothing without the explicate except pure potential. The universe lives, through us.
Yeah. I suppose. I once wore thongs to school with one argyle sock and one athletic tube sock. People were shocked but afraid to ask about it. A week later everybody was doing it.
1.) People are never who they say they are, and it's not their fault. This applies to all social interaction, not just the net. They don't know who they are, so how can they tell you?
2.) The myth of soul mates does more damage to people than smoking or heroin.
3.) Suffering, not joy, is what binds people together. It is not our faith that acts as the glue of society, but our doubts. That's why it's called the Human Condition, and not the Joyce or Dave condition.
4.) One should never turn down the opportunity to make a new friend. The reason being is that every person you include in your personal universe expands that universe. I would like everyone in the world to be my friend, because then, I would be the world.
Isnt life strange A turn of the page Can read like before Can we ask for more? Each day passes by How hard man will try? The sea will not wait You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart To be one with your love Wished I could be in your eyes Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isnt love strange A word we arrange With no thought or care Maker of despair Each breath that we breathe With love we must weave To make us as one You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart To be one with your love Wished I could be in your eyes Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isnt life strange A turn of the page A book without light Unless with love we write; To throw it away To lose just a day The quicksand of time You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart To be one with your love Wished I could be in your eyes Looking back there you were:
And here we are.
Moody Blues
This was one of my father's favorite songs. I look back on my childhood, and despite everything I've gone through, I still believe in love.
The event horizon of nothingness and somethingness which is the inanity of the CS forums. In other words, they don't have patches or gum for this place.
