I think I want to move to Oslo.......

You suck... and yes Philosophy is useless bullshit...we all have opinions and you what they say about opinions.... thought experiments all call bullshit on each other so as far as I am concerned its all pointless....or at the least entertainment.

I tried posting but don't see it so I'll try again @ perceiving Thanks for the poem...nice. As to your questions not really sure but I will answer with my thoughts. I make decisions every day...some very difficult and without the consultation of other most of the time. How did the big bang occur...w...

It's hard not to subscribe to the idea that our thoughts are generated by a physical body ruled by the deterministic laws of science (nevermind the [randomness] of quantum mechanics), in such a manner that in the very end there's no absolutely free will. But, as someone else already put in this top...

@Blaggard yes I am familiar with that....very interesting I love learning about science

Thank you
I guess what I'm trying to say is that no one can "ask" god if he wrote any of them therefore the answer is no.

Skip you are spot on....I have a serious question...and anyone is welcome to help answer it. Is there anywhere in the world you would rather live?

Thanks for all the lengthy responses...I find them all interesting. This one is controversial for many...but I say emphatically HELL NO :!: There are so many christians in my class so I'm sure I'll get backlash. I have to say that everyone has rewritten the bible, Koran,....how can anyone claim it w...

In my opinion Bob said it perfectly I would only like to add that people can offset entitlement programs through volunteering, and donations. Morality has nothing to do with this issue either way. People can choose to live in intention...

@ 3sum...thanks for making the point about genetic mutations...I'm a nursing major so this relates perfectly. After realizing that point I will answer it in two parts. Firstly, I don't think we should judge whether it is moral or not...to each his own. Secondly, It poses a threat to the survival of ...

You guys crack me up! 3sum and soren
