Of course nobody wishes for their marriage to fail, to experience a fatal or debilitating incident, or to fall into severe addiction or substance abus...
What differentiates a religion created by somebody else or that simply doesn't feature an intelligent designer from your own? Lack of organized religi...
It didn't until I happened upon two omniscient fortune tellers in this thread who know all that was, is, and ever will be, as well as being intimately...
Apparently there's something worth talking about and promoting, that is your version of the truth. What makes your version greater than that of anothe...
Who said the two are mutually exclusive? The idea of man being set apart from the animals by an intelligent non-human creator (or at least the existen...
I don't think anyone is really pro-work, just pro-civility. Let alone the examples of how one used to obtain something they want or desired.. what if ...
Come to think of it that sounds horrific. Imagine if someone suffered from PTSD flashbacks from a painful, violent incident but instead of just severe...
Compare it to a dream. If it was just as real (sensory identical) or perhaps of a longer duration than what you define as not a simulation, you'd have...
Jeez, a bit like why throw the baby out with the bathwater when you can just blow up the whole bathroom. As someone whose job it is to deal with and b...
You're not dangerously insane. There's little to be said beyond that. I suppose to pad the reply some, of all senses we possess sight and visuals are ...
\ Perhaps someone who's not you doesn't view life and it's benefits, rewards, and yes as you obsess over it's negatives, drawbacks, and moments of tor...
Yeah but there's just something almost ethereal, mystical even about a sentence or piece of literature that you can ascertain completely different yet...
You realize it costs around 50 cents to make a simple phone call to just about anyone anywhere in the world at just about any payphone, right? Let alo...
Or. Which does confusingly imply there's a state of non-consciousness compared to a consciousness that one must heh consciously "activate" whereas nat...
That's not what he asked. Dumb animals get eaten or if deemed 'dangerous' by humans are put down. 'Evil' humans are either legally liable as criminals...
Fair enough. Let's go beyond an example and see, explore the phenomenon as you say. What's your definition (and relevant examples) of what is and what...
Oh come now, how can we or at least expect others to identify with, let alone vote for someone or something they deem 'non relatable'. It may be a shi...
Well written, can't say I came across anything disagreeable. Not sure if this is still "bayesian", admittedly I'm not familiar with the term, but cont...
I think he's channeling the attitude and spirit of one Jonathon Swift, author of "A Modest Proposal". Sometimes one needs to see the extreme of their ...
Never. Ever since humanity replaced geocentric theory for heliocentric theory, there was nothing but horrid weapons of war and disease. Nobody ever go...
If you feel like you have to "be something" at certain times but not others you're simply not what you're trying to be and are an actor. So act as you...
They only refer to the protestors and councilors respectively, because the father, or author, of the sentence determined so. Or I suppose "it simply h...
Hm, I can see the point. Why not: Out of fear of violence, the councilors refused to allow the protestors, whom are known to advocate violence, to dem...
Human nature cannot be escaped so easily, unfortunately, as your point reminds us of. I think there's a Star Trek episode that covers this.. "the need...
Naturally, to understand what is one must first be intimately acquainted with what isn't. The first step is understanding whatever is can become what ...
Neither are these sentences, yet we know they're personal. Created by and for persons. Your point (what I assume to be at least) is not lost on me, I ...
Can't take it with you. Lost are those who call circumstance reality. Contrary to popular belief, you actually can make a horse drink. Though it usual...
Well unless we're referring to some science fiction artificial intelligence.. business by definition is an endeavor by people. So how does it not rela...
It doesn't matter what I nor anyone thinks, what matters is the reality that we are "employed" that is to say indentured servants to our bodies and bi...
What makes a good poem? A fanciful, grandiose, magniloquent assortment of words, a cornucopia of kitsch and familiar sounds we call rhymes that connec...
Due to nature itself and an advanced organism's ability to adapt, we'll never know it would seem. Probably. Though I wouldn't call 'ignorance' a defin...
Interestingly enough humans cannot be carnivores, exclusively, due to the noted occurrence of scurvy when without fruits or vegetables for prolonged p...
Yeah but belief isn't fact, people died from starvation and malnourishment without eating animals. No one died because some empire didn't conquer Anta...
Ah, but now did you not just do the same? 'There is' harkens to the name of the biblical God of the Old Testament 'I Am', ala absolute facts even if s...
It was an innocent (enough) quip at case-based abortion and neglect of the mentally ill in society. Not a quip per se more of a satirical statement th...
Not if it reaches childhood at least. We let life take care of that. More broadly, there was a time when man needed to eat animals to survive, perhaps...
What are you Bill Nye the science guy now? You don't know that, you've just been told it. You don't even own a microscope. I doubt you've even seen on...
Both ridiculous assumptions. Viruses and other bacteria are highly intelligent, being able to adapt to their surroundings and gain immunity to threats...

Remember, you cannot know let alone have perfection before or without imperfection. This is the other noble truth. The less popular one. I was about t...
This is the term that has multiple definitions. Is the son of Hitler, no someone who say didn't get their ass kicked and who actually succeeded, say s...
