Everything is a disorder, it's the nature of the universe at least from our limited perspective. The real disorder is trying to maintain one way of order for everyone and everything. If homosexuality is as harmful as some make it out to be, then homosexuality will not exist in the future. Historical...

Simplecyx, Everything is possible. Simple as that, but even more simply put: Everything. It means, indeed, there is a small chance of anything and everything happening. If you find that inspiring, so be it. What does this mean to a dead man? Same as everything else we say, nothing. He knows better, ...

Life is a chance to make choices, maybe they are trivial, but you may not get make them again; have fun with it. If death lasts forever and is inevitable why rush it? I think you need a drastic change of life style, go live on small island or in the mountains or find some random place on a map and g...

If their is a nuclear attack it would more likely be a "dirty bomb," than a nation exploding a nuclear bomb or missile against another. I don't think there is another source of power that is stronger than the atomic-nuclear force. A better and more dreadful weapon can not be built without ...

Truly nothing means a lack of anything at all, not even the chance of it. Physically covers every thing down to elementary particles, these particles did not exist before their potential to exist did.

Steezy Philosoraptor, re post 1: Chance or probability always existed. For anything to exist in any way there first had to be a chance of it existing. Indeed, there was never truly nothing. Things changed from being probability to actualization by change; universal imperative for difference, nothing...

Logic is a process for presenting theories as true or false. If it's raining, then the street is wet. True If the street is wet, then its raining. False If the street is wet, then it could be raining, or it could just be run off. (quote not shown) This view is called relativism, logical relativism. ...

Yes, it is a facade. It makes people focus on right or left, not issues. If a solution or issue originates from left thought, people on the right are told to hate it because it's from the left, not because it's a bad idea. Works the other way too. It creates a default strawman argument. It's this di...

What does she feel like when its sunny, does she feel more connected? Is she indoors or out doors or both, if she didnt know it was raining what does she feel? There is no way to come to a conclusion to a 2 variable problem with 1 relationship. Likely if there is a relationship it's her be able to s...

Xris, "Police in the UK do carry weapons but not on a regular basis." That's understandable, people should be the same way. "So are certain members of the public permitted through license to own certain guns." Yes license to own and operate whatever weapon a person wants, that fi...

Xris, re Post 97: Machine guns have predictable vectors, explosives do not. Obviously the potential for collateral damage is higher for explosives. Guns should be banned as soon as the police give up their guns, if were going to go along with the UK model. But guns won't be taken away from police in...

Xris, (quote not shown) I just did. Because missiles/explosives cause WAY more collateral damage. No, I don't intend to argue that. Guns, I would permit guns. People have said that guns should be banned completely, and I agree, but given the proper timing. Yes, I'm marginalized for being moderate. I...

Spectrum, Looking at a hate site isn't in depth research. The US has also killed thousands in collateral damage 3,000 in the first year after 911 . Let's be extremely conservative and say 3,000 per year 3,000deaths *10years=30,000. Or I could do what you did and find the most biased website possible...

Quotidian, We can all wonder what the founders meant, but they knew the horrors of war, there was a reason they ensured people had arms, that reason was insurance from tyranny, that means keeping up with the technology. Xris, Yes, I agree with gun control. Since the beginning of this thread I have s...

How will I die? Where are all the aliens? Who is the best monogamous match for me?
