@Bruti79
right on.
thanks for replying.

neuroscience is your answer in regards to consciousness eh?
how...unsatisfying.
the answer is no answer at all man.

let me try for you:
we dont know.
BUT we are making great strides in neuro transmitters and neuroscience and microbiology that it is possible that one day we WILL know.
but as of today?
we dont know,and what we dont know is a LOT.

see? better.

and your response concerning love!
breath-taking!
"We fall in love, or hate, or feel "meh" about something because of the stuff in our brain that makes our personalities"

how romantic!
ok..its not.im just being a huge ass.
in fact i am being a wicked smart-ass period.
thanks for putting up with me.

it irks me when people talk in regards to consciousness or love with a conviction that i know is not warranted.
but thanks for being a good sport about it.

in regards to type 1 diabetes.yeah...no diet is going to reverse that.sorry timmy.

maybe you thought i was trying to sell ya a bill of goods.i wasnt.
check that video out.
its a lecture by a doctor whose field is in disease and microbiology.
HE is the guy who proved that a plant based diet can reverse type 2 diabetes (not in all,but many)AND how a plant based diet can help prevent cancer and sometimes cure it.

he is entertaining,witty and its super informative.

if i didnt love double bacon cheeseburgers so much i would go vegan,but whenever i know i am eating too far on the crappy scale i watch that video and it pulls me back to reality,or the meat lovers pizza.
whatever..dont confuse me with details!

i know better than to try to get you guys to listen to my fluffernutter philosophies.
you guys are all about your religion..i mean science..yes.science!

it is all pretty exciting to me as well.
thanks man.stay awesome.

@Trancecoach
you are starting to sound damn near evangelical about this free market lovefest you are having.
and this:
"Socialism promotes equality: "it's only virtue is equal misery for all" (with the exception of the rulers, of course)"

thats a beaut.

and how come all your examples are the european countries that got fucked in the ass by corrupt currency and derivative speculators? are you working for goldman sachs?
whats the deal man?

how about throwing out some countries are doing pretty damn ok?
denmark?finland?

ill give ya props for knowing capitalism and all the positive bennies that can go with it but its apparent you dont know shit about socialism.
socialism-communism=not the same.

so while we are at it lets discuss some things that are from the dark side of capitalism and no free market carny barker never seems to want to talk about.

1.how do you fix the currency issue with its pyramid scheme?
2.how do create a level playing field for the wage slave? or debt slave?
3.or can you outright buy people?
4.since nothing is communal and there is no regulation.is there anything that cannot be commodified?

look man.i get it.lots of good things can happen with a free market.
but so can a lot of bad.
eyes open my man.

reminds me of the scientist who came up with game theory.
from the rand institute i think.
the whole cold war was set up on this dudes principles of self-interest.
did a bunch of testing on dudes and the data seemed conclusive...
until he did the same experiment with secretaries.
turns out they were unwilling to dick each other over and were more prone to co-operate with each other.

well how about them apples.co-operation as a way on interacting.
ya dont say?
very interesting.

the scientist later recanted and dismissed his own study(years later though).

i know we both agree that what we have now is a clusterfuck.
and i agree that the free market should have a place,that its even vital.
but unrestricted free markets?
naw..no thanks.

As an atheist, seeing something like that in person would put the fear of man in me.

Always trips me out. The scientific method-man in me recalls now it's about one in every twenty-five cats???

Whew, man, had me cringing right up until the event itself. So much power and motion going on, they're all lucky that ended as peacefully as it did.

*equality

Annoying music makes the speaking difficult to hear. Must've been edited by a man - show me your tits, and enough with the jibber jabber.

OH MAN OH MAN !

SIGN ME UP !

Trailer was very lacking in information, and I caught a whiff of emo in there. WRONG.

Where's Downey's signature humor, ffs? That sold Iron Man to me, and it was the best and most memorable part of the Avengers trailer. They should have taken a lesson on how solidly that was received.

Iron Man as portrayed by Downey shouldn't completely grow up. Ever.

And here I am thinking HRT was a Formula 1 team. I guess that's the man in me.

aw mang, this is just bad. horrible even. the scat man let me down.

>> ^bobknight33:

Its a cake. Lighten up. Is you IQ less than 100? Just wondering because your argument is is lame.
Lock up all the Bobs. I hate Bobs. Bobs are bad. Bobs are evil.


One day I was walking through town and a man asked me for directions to Uluru (also known as Ayers Rock). I was somewhat taken aback as I live in the south island of New Zealand also known as not fucking Australia (apologies to my bold-hating quasi-fan-club but sometimes I just gotta rock that shit). Anyway after explaining to said person that he had, in fact, arrived in an entirely different country, I proceeded to wax lyrical on the many wondrous qualities that make up the isolated little outcrop of the south pacific which I currently reside upon.

At this point, and I shit you not, he asked me a) had I been an extra in the lord of the rings and b) where he might go orc-hunting.

What, the average reader might relevantly inquire, does this have to do with the conversation at hand?

Well, until today, that was the most retarded conversation I have ever had the misfortune to take part in. Thankfully, @bobknight33 has reminded me that there is always someone even more idiotic out there.

@shinyblurry

There's a question that causes debate among many believers, and that is the age old question... Are Jesus and God the same? Well, it does say that "for God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son", so naturally you would think the answer is a simple no.

But as nearly ever other aspect of Christianity goes, it's not that simple. For some reason Christians think Jesus is God, God is Jesus, and so on. Yet, they cannot back up this belief with anything from the Bible. There are so many things one can use to show that Jesus was not God, but none to the contrary.

Of course one of the first things you come across would be the concept of an infinite God in a finite body. I understand the argument of God being non-physical, and thus size would not be an issue. But what about other human limitations shown by Jesus. Primarily dying. Why would God become a person, just to die, therefore destroying any beliefs that this guy was God? Well, at least it should have destroyed beliefs. The only reasonable thing would be to survive death and live forever on earth to prove that you are God. Hell, if there was a 2000 year old man who could document it and that had public records of... I'd believe in God.

The main thing is that Jesus never called himself God, never insinuated he was God. He mostly referred to himself as Son of Man. Now people often cite various biblical verses with sayings like "I and the father are one" and that you can't get to the father without Jesus. But regardless of how much those who would like to believe it as being Jesus saying he is God close their eyes and wish. It will never be an admittance of being God.

Many of gurus, and well, anyone who has found the zone have become one with something. Be it a monk trying to be one with the universe, or Wayne Gretzky being one with his hockey stick. It's a common saying of something being so familiar to you that it's nearly a part of you. Jesus was only saying that he knows God so well, that God has become a part of him. Now for some on topic humor. What did the Guru say to the pizza man? Make me one with everything.

Now how do people think that because Jesus said that the only way to get to the father is through him, that he said he was God? Who knows? All he was saying was that he was the guide to God, follow him and you will see God. It's like that Heavens Gate guy said that he was the way to get to the Hale Bop comet, he wasn't saying that he was the Hale Bop comet.

Man beat me by 3 mins and 26 seconds lol I checked the embed nothing, started filling out the form and by the time I was done it said there was a dupe lol. Guess we were working it at the same time @ant. Good sift though!


Ant wins again!

though not quite as bad as this woman. I know a woman who is just like this. late 40s or early 50s, body of a 20 year old, but skin of a 80 year old because she tans so obsessively.

Is this one of those things where ultimately it will be blamed on men because of the "my man likes me like this" mentality?

Unless the man is tying you down and forcibly putting you under those bulbs, it's all on you honey.
