Congratulations! Your dedication to keeping VideoSift clear of baddies has earned you your "Ban Police" Level 222 Badge!

*length=222

That's only 4.222 years per life though.

Good sift.
Didn't know this, probably due to never having thought about it. Your example points out the mathematical logic quicker and simpler than Vi Hart's vid, which was still enjoyed due to other things i didn't know, the clarity and the pretty pictures.

I'm not going to argue with anyone here about this, but I will add an 10.999.th reason:
1/9 = 0.111...
2/9 = 0.222...
3/9 = 0.333...
4/9 = 0.444...
5/9 = 0.555...
6/9 = 0.666...
7/9 = 0.777...
8/9 = 0.888...
9/9 = 0.999... = 1
If there's a difference between 0.999... and 1, that implies more than 1/9 is added to 0.888... to get 1.



Seems to me the only reason this maths could be argued is 1 of 2 reasons, either the logic isn't understood or people like to argue.

In regards to solving the society problems you mention: wouldn't society stopping work to focus wholly on the latest bandwagon occurrence of 1 of the 7 billion free-thinking subjective experience driven humans having a difference of opinion/preference to 1 of the remaining 7 billion blah blah humans, be more problematic?

Think it's best if the scientists focus on their job of advancing our understanding of everything, the governments do their job of controlling their masses in reasonable ways and sifters do their job of finding great videos.. might need someone to help the cops do their job though, think some of them have missed a point somewhere along the line re 'serve and protect'.

>> ^VoodooV:

do a google search. It's been argued forever. Only thing it proves is how far we'll go to argue ridiculous things and the fucked up priorities of humanity.
we'll argue .999... for forever (or infinitely...zing!) but try and solve things like why kids like Trayvonn Martin still get senselessly shot or try and solve how we can take care all of our citizens regardless of income level. Ehh, we'll get around to it sometime.
It reveals just how truly absurd this shit is.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

That isn't an indictment against money, it is an indictment against greed. God doesn't care if you have money, but He does care what you use it for. He made Solomon the richest person on the planet. I think those who are rich should be using their money for the Lords work and giving heartily to the poor, so I do not support the aquisition of wealth for wealths sake. I think that is sinful. However, that is their choice, and it is not up to me, but it is between them and God.

Shinyblurry. You are so strange.

Titus 2:14
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
As a stranger and pilgrim in this fallen world, I take that as a compliment.

Hey Shiny, your god disagrees with you on Romney's wealth (and capitalism in general)
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'"
-Matthew 19:23-24
In god you trust, but don't bother following his edicts. Moron.

Again, they're not the same person. Jesus wasn't praying to Himself, He was praying to His Father. When He became human, He took on our nature and weaknesses..it was necessarily for Him to pray for the same reasons it is necessary for us to pray. Your view point is not only not trinitarian, because you're saying there is no difference between Jesus and the Father, it is just completely ignorant of basic theology.

>> ^DerHasisttot:
>> ^shinyblurry:
You said "Why would an omnipotent and omniscient being pray to itself and not grant itself the thing wished for
Jesus wasn't praying to Himself, He was praying to the Father..they're different people. Therefore, your view is not trinitarian.
My viewpoint is that Jesus was and is fully God, which is the trinitarian view. That He took on the nature of man for our sake does not diminish His divine nature, which is affirmed in the nicean creed. It would be helpful in this discussion if you actually knew what you were talking about. Here is a resource:

>> ^shinyblurry:
What Der said pretty much 100 percent of Christians would call flawed..what I said, not so much..most Christians believe in the trinity. I had personal revelation the trinity is truth before I ever became a Christian.
>> ^schlub:
I love how all xtians have their own interpretation of their religion and they insist that their interpretation is the correct one. There are many other xtians who would call your "understanding" flawed, shinyblurry...
>> ^shinyblurry:
Jesus had a dual nature, he was both man and God. He was made a little lower than the angels for our sake, and He put aside all that was His due to suffer for us..Your understanding here is just hopelessly flawed..it's a cute little atheist meme but it has no theological basis. Jesus and the Father are not the same person..they are one in the essential nature of being God, but they are different people.



Well aaaactually your viewpoint would be Nontrinitarian by definition. So according to this, my view of Trinity is correct:
According to this doctrine, God exists as three persons but is one God, meaning that God the Son and God the Holy Spirit have exactly the same nature or being as God the Father in every way.[4] Whatever attributes and power God the Father has, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit have as well.[4] "Thus, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are also eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinitely wise, infinitely holy, infinitely loving, omniscient."


Why would an omniscient and omnipotent being need to pray? "Thus, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are also eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinitely wise, infinitely holy, infinitely loving, omniscient." ... which is still trinitarian. Just not your personal definition of it.

When you say "flush" what does that mean? Dab with a wet towel or spray water in large quantities at the face?
I think I would be useful in this situation given as you state that water isn't always the most appropriate first treatment.

Have someone call 911 and you call National Poison Control Hotline (1-800-222-1222) for assistance identifying the type of chemical you are dealing with.
If acid is in the eyes rinse with low pressure water, large amounts of water. If there is acid on the eyes, it's to late to worry about what will happen when the water contacts the chemical at least that is my take on the whole affair. Remember I'm not a lawyer or a professional emergency medical responder but at any given moment anyone can become a first responder. The best thing you can do is keep the victim under as much control as possible so as not to cause anymore damage.

Chemical burns not rinsed with water
Some chemical burns are made worse if rinsed (flushed) with water.
Carbolic acid or phenol does not mix with water, so use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol first to flush the chemical off the skin and then flush with water. If alcohol is not available, flush with a large amount of water. Do not flush the eye with alcohol.
Sulfuric acid is flushed with a mild, soapy solution if the burns are not severe. Sulfuric acid feels hot when water is added to the acid, but it is better to flush the area and not leave the acid on the skin.
Hydrofluoric acid is flushed with a bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) solution. (Use a small amount of water to make solution.) Then flush with a large amount of water. Burns from this acid may not show at first, so flush the area even if a burn is not seen. Do not flush the eye itself with a baking soda solution.
Dry powders, such as dry lime, are brushed away first, because adding water can make a liquid that burns. After the powder is brushed away, flush with water for 20 minutes.
