Belief . . . and string theory. ==. But your question really is "what does a physical particle look like?" My answer is that they look like strings. But I have to admit that strings are still concepts in the regime of metaphysics.. . . . So string theory IS my religion. / Richard Ruquist ...

Huh Wuh! What, umm,,, people in the 21st century are still going for the god schtick and they have ipods also? WTF! I mean, the obvious analogy is,,,,,superstitious caveman marvels at the sharpness of the obsidian rock flake, lol What is your point? That atheists invented the ipod and theists are s...

AS: Reasonvemotion, are you taking this all in...if you are a woman...tell me....do you agree with felasco when he says all women have to do to get a man to fall in love with her is to get nekkid? LOL How would that work for you. Sure...he would fall in love with you if you were nekkid...but then w...

Sartre doesn't have the imagery though, nor the drama. Of course the urban imagery and politics differ over 1500 yrs from the Eastern village scenario, take Kafka for instance, his 'Metamorphous' can be interpreted metaphorically as a reincarnation, and the depth and interplay when juxtaposed into ...

Huh Wuh! What, umm,,, people in the 21st century are still going for the god schtick and they have ipods also? WTF! I mean, the obvious analogy is,,,,,superstitious caveman marvels at the sharpness of the obsidian rock flake, lol But I accept 'godness consciousness', nevertheless, because the people...

. I like this statement from the above original post: And the truth is that the animal programmes are far more about us than they are about the animals. They are really about how we see ourselves. I would like to add, those animal programs are our reflection of how we see the world. I am growing to...

I don't think Kirkegaard ran away from anything, in fact, he was the original existentialist, and giving a man a book by Kirkegaard would be pointless, for someone who resorted to homicide,,,no, a waste of time. The shooter can only be shot in return, Kirkegaard would have certainly wavered and com...

Bureau of Ape Affairs ? Diaries of a man were printed in the Harper´s Maganzine. A man went ape because he could not get a woman he felt entitled to and so he shot some women in a gym in L.A. This man was under a sad illusion about the bliss of a relationship. He should have been given a book by Ki...

Hi Bill. Have you read any Dawkins ? Just saying, bye

WTF is love man/woman? In reality it is a contract, in its purest genetic form it is a union for the procreation of another being, in its most heinous form it is equivalent to the internal vaginal masturbation by an unfeeling male person, which unfortunately IS what some consider in the capitalist w...

OMG! Damn! There are lonely people in this society. Anyone gonna hug them, these wrecks of capitalism, burnt out mothers and fathers, their children! Anyone?

We come into the world naked,,,,.The culture you are born into determines legalities. If you be an anarchist or nihilist go naked, you have no one to answer to if you live away from a cultural zone of the prohibition of public nakedness. Be wary of sudden blizzards friend!

Being doesn't end, only forms end. We are all essentially being. I love the Bhagavad Gita but one can't read it with a modern type of mind and get much out of it. It was very existential, similar to Sartre , almost nihilistic, the void and religious austerity as a path to freedom. Very doctrinal th...
