Ha ha ha ha ha ha.....headed by Santa and the Easter bunny! Sad that you think your girlfriend is foolish and selfish. Maybe let her go on her own whi...

We are rocks dreaming about being human and wondering what laws apply to the human perspective on the world and wondering if rocks are conscious to hu...

But not necessarily to the purchaser of the apples. The grocer is triggered by the request, makes the sale and proceeds to plan and execute his next m...

Both have models in my field, although in truth the pain models are fairly ridiculous, however the pediatric pain model is accurate enough, excluding ...

We don't need a vaccine. We need an acceptance of mortality. end of story. way cheaper.

no lives are ever "saved" eh. The end gets delayed, best case scenario. That's it. The finish line is moved back a bit, but the race always ends.

Not sure about TB deaths, but we could see some truely startling suicide rates from the lock down. As we have statistics for normal rates of overdose,...

Then it would not be a simulation. The premise of a simulation is that, no matter the outcome of the simulation, there is no change in the real world.

Alternately, choose life and laugh at the pain and misery in the world. Care about whatever you choose, be dependent on nothing but yourself for happi...

I would suggest that consciousness itself defies logic, therefore to assume it does, or does not, arise from matter is an assumption based on nothing....

Your post assumes that you need salvation, which may be, you can judge that. Some of us are not seeking salvation, indeed have no interest in a deity ...

try "that which is" I find it more comprehensive, however that might be me. I have also heard of "IT" being addressed as "the un-nameable"

the thing. John carpenter's with Kurt Russel. Go old school.

That may be the most amusing thing I have read in a while. Also the most judgmental. Just inspiring. Shyness is not the same as being an introvert. Sh...

repsondus interruptus. Pessimistic thinking is the opposite of optimistic thinking: things won't work out, despite evidence supporting that they will ...

Not optimistic, unless your version of optimistic is Eeyore. Optimistic thinking is electing to believe things will work out well despite evidence aga...

I don't have that kind of time on my hands. Mostly they are about self realization. That's a much assistance as I can provide, the rest is up to you.

Thanks. Go evolution!

Not even if they pay me. Thanks. On the upside I finally figured out what my issue is with the response I have been seeing to this Covid bug. S.I.R.S!...

you really do not understand his posts do you? Just not getting it. It's ok, intellectual diversity is everywhere.

Amen Brother. That captures it succinctly. Just a stellar post in its entirety.

It certainly isn't based on reason. outside of that...funsies?

Anecdotal study: 12 people wore masks everywhere and after 2 weeks were found to not have T.B Conclusion: generalized mask wearing prevents T.B Not me...

observation: my boss is a woman, my friend's boss is a woman. Conclusion: all bosses are women. I see a problem with observational studies. Too much b...

Agreed.

makes sense, since we are being asked to wear undies on our face...I see the connection.

Not really. But I am not saying I live in a "free society", It is however, the common rhetoric and is inaccurate, which is what I am saying, in a nuts...

Which is it; Wide spread or in labs? Wide spread masking does not make a difference. If you have an actual study, Not a health organization reference,...

You assume I am concerned about catching this. Interesting assumption.

It's quite simple. Don't tell me I am free to make my choices and then give me a list of things that are not allowed. Skip the bullshit and just tell ...

I don't want to wear any mask at all, end of story. I am no less safe now without a mask than I was 18 months ago. This bug has a name, untold numbers...

Yep, pretty much. Means we aren't dead yet. Which is where we all end up eh, no matter what anyone does. It's the defining feature of life, it ends.

Except masks don't actually work eh. WHO acknowledges this, my local health region's scientific advisory committee acknowledges this on the bottom of ...

Society has rules, I get that. My opinion of these rules is irrelevant. The issue that I take is with the description "free", it is on par with the an...

Also, next time someone feels they have been discriminated against, should I use your language and dismiss their experiences as unverifiable, anecdota...

So it's ok, as per you, to let the white kid (assumption on your part that I am white eh) have to travel 3000km from home to take the same program tha...

Your point is? This article supports my thesis nicely. It attempts to explain why we need these programs, and why/how the resentment is somehow wrong,...

I did answer the question. You may not like my answer, however, that does not alter the fact that it is an answer.

Systemic discrimination (race, gender, etc) exists in the US (and Canada) in the form of affirmative action initiatives set forth by the government in...

Ergo: Not a free society. Just own it. For example my home runs as a benevolent dictatorship. There is nothing democratic about it. I make the rules, ...

I work in acute psychiatry. We force needles and medications into people fairly regularly. Hold them down, poke and inject. We are already doing it to...

I appreciate the options. However, the end result is the same. Unless X is that which destroys anything added to it while remaining unchanged. THAT wo...

The value of X is not relevant. Whatever the value of it is determined to be, dynamic or static, adding one to it will not make it equal to what it wa...

Math issue there. X=X+1 can never be true. It doesn't matter what you substitute in for x. Just saying...

Nothing is a term applied to a concept, therefore, label-wise, Nothing exists. Conceptually nothing also exists, as a concept. However, as a reality, ...

As long as, by accepting that the government can, legally, force a vaccine into you, you no longer live in a free society, then I guess that's that. T...

A life well lived is far more beautiful than one preserved and untarnished; for spoons and people.

Consider "nothing" as the vocabulary equivalent of the numerical value 0. Functional as a descriptor to identify a lack of something, which, theoretic...

Heart disease and traffic accidents are, in a general sense, brought on by lifestyle and personal choices. I do not necessarily agree, however, there ...
