Re: The worlds debts , who owns them?

October 24th, 2011, 12:54 am

(quote not shown) Because the majority of people either don't care, don't know, or are too scared to confront r=the situation. Also it is not an easy problem to fix. This is one of the basis for the entire system of the world that keeps us forever in debt. To replace this system there will be a lot ...

Banks make money out of thin air. This is something I learned taking micro/macro economics.

Looks like your reaching into conspiracies. The bankers are the loaners of the money therefore they are the ones who own the debts. (quote not shown) It's scary isn't it. All money is Fiat money meaning it has no real value. It is no longer backed by gold. Imagine what would happen if this fiat mone...

Anyone willing to throw a punch should be able to take one.
In a game of the minds the first person to get physical has lost.
No need for violence. It is only needed in self defense.

I corrected it. I swore I quoted it straight from frapllist post, but thanks for the correction.

(quote not shown) If you don't believe that your life is current proof then you have lost yourself. All the characteristics that come with life are the proof. Something that doesn't exist wouldn't be able to think of their existence. Descartes came to the "I think therefore I am" conclusio...

The abstract mind solves more problems than one that is stuck in the box. Maybe everything is perfect imperfections.
Also like every problem there are multiple solutions. We can all be right in our methods, they are just different ways of looking at it.
This was a great conversation by the way

I agree technically you are right on this one. On a slightly more abstract level one could say these are the most perfect imperfections.

I agree with wooden shoe. (quote not shown) The proof of our existence is the fact that we are here having thoughts, creating memories, feeling emotions. We can ask what if this and what if that, but this is what it is. These are our lives. To answer your question with a question, what reason do we ...

Re: Creation

(quote not shown) The universe itself is a perfect creation. If you don't believe that the tools we use (math, language, science) are perfect then we can never define the universe. Imperfect tools can't discover perfection. The universe is the creator of math/physics humans just interpret it (and hu...

Re: Is choosing not save someones life the same as killing t

October 14th, 2011, 11:26 pm

If you are not responsible for placing that person in a life or death situation you are not and should not be obligated to help. If you can help, then of course it would be great if you did, but each individual is responsible for their own actions and situations. It is not the duty of anyone else to...

Re: God refutation

October 14th, 2011, 8:51 pm

The simple idea that God is everything and everywhere should automatically suggest that he/it could not be described as a single entity (ex. person, spirit, soul etc.) The only thing that can be everywhere at once and be the creator is a thing we call energy, Energy is responsible for every living t...

I am going to have to agree with Xris on this one. The truth will have no holes. So the the big bang theory, as it is now, can't and shouldn't be used as a basis/support for an argument. If you believe Foundationalism then you know that knowledge can't be built on a rocky foundation. If we want to e...

(quote not shown) Where is this point where physics breaks down? Mathematics is not based on physics, so even if physics were to break down math would still exist. Math can be used to define/explain physics with equations, but it is in no way dependent on physics. Language too isn't based on physics...

(quote not shown) Where is this point where laws of physics break down? Language I understand, but math is a fundamental basic that exist whether we do or not. Maybe I should clarify and just say numbers, but then with numbers math will follow.If "nothing" in an imaginary sense existed the...
