A slave huh? In todays society everyone is a "slave" to corporations, if you open your eyes to reality instead of plating “schoolyard insult” then you will notice how banks own just about every home and new car in this country, and yes they own it if they can take it away from you if you don’t make the payment or property tax. would you say that we are slaves to Honda or financiers? Caffeine and alcohol are also addictive substance that are legal yet not very good for us. Are we then slaves to Coca-cola or Budwizer? Also, the term addictive needs to be taken into consideration, certain types of genealogy are resistant to addiction. So we are salves to no one but ourselves when it comes to substances.
I do and I love it. It’s not for everyone though. I have a friend that swears by cloves but I just can’t get into it. His choice though....... For me smoking is the perfect companion to a good drink or a good way to collect my thoughts while typing up a paper. Oh, and by the way all you non-smokers, I know what it does to my body so don’t even start.
Sola lingua bona est lingua mortua.
The only good language is a dead language.
Other than that I have no opinion on this thread.
Move on and don't look back. Also, fuck alot of girls you don't need to be in a relationship with. That always makes me feel 100% after something like that.

You know him? good for you. I still don't like his show. I do like his stand-up act though.

I didn’t say that this was the only explanation possible. I was simply giving the scientific findings to the present time. I also took no stance on whether or not the brain activity that is seemingly responsible for the phenomenon is paranormal in origin. I will admit that I am not a scholar on the occult but I do understand it more than most. I spent a number of years studying the writings of Abdul Alhazred ( he wrote the Necronomicon ), three different sects of wicca ( I was actually asked to join a coven at 16 ), and Satanism. I also realize that each is as different from the last as Christianity and Hinduism. I say all this lest my education on the subject come into question. Alas, I am a scientist at heart and I would like to think that all the tripped out shit that the occult and the paranormal may or may not have to offer could be explained by logic. Imagine the possibilities if spiritual healing, telekinesis, remote viewing, and communing with the dead were all real and we could control these phenomenon to benefit us. It may be a pipe dream but in a universe of infinite possibility it would be rash to completely rule it out.

They are those things you see in bad ghost movies where a group of hot half naked teenage girls sit around a board with the alphabet, #’s 0-9 and yes and no printed on it while they place their fingers on a flat triangular thing that spells things out apparently powered by “voices form beyond” ( I think that was an 80's band ) Although you are most likely to come across one made by Parker Bros. it has been used in seances fo ages.
She reminds me of an ex girlfriend of mine, right down to the “ Im a little princes / I’m also into drug culture so I must be cool” bitch attitude. I think that this is why when I see Kelly Osbourne I almost want to fuck her then I am overcome by this overwhelming urge to slap her. ( Don’t worry, I never slapped my ex.............. I really wanted to sometimes though.)

Level 4 and you never saw that before? That and you are a dark aura?.............. I would think that if you vote the way your aura suggests then you would have seen it at least a few times by now. I must agree with vibes, this is nothing to post a topic about. In fact, I’m a little embarrassed posting a response because it means that it will keep this topic up a little longer.
You got it clownfish. There is this saying / question that I like............... Is mankind Gods greatest mistake or is God mankinds?
Supposedly, if there really is anything going on with these things it doesn’t matter what materials are used. Laboratory studies have shown that during the use of a Ouija board involuntary muscle movement as well as subconscious thought spikes for one reason or another. So the piece on the board is moved by the subtle movements in the fingers in response to activity deep in the brain. Now is this activity paranormal in origin or simply an outward projection of deeper thought? I don’t have the energy to even begin debating right now so I will leave it here for now.
My friends and I have been following this theory since before it was regarded as more than a pipe dream. The recent breakthroughs over the past couple of years have been very exiting. Steven Hawking and Michio Kaku have done more to entertain, twist, and expand my mind than any psychotropic drug ever could have. Science to me is my religion. I bask in the beauty of the human mind in its endless potential, and with the aforementioned physicists and one Albert Einstein I have my holy trinity. Saint Tesla and the apostles Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. I for one am an atheist and am glad that it is through the hard work of mankind that we discover the true nature of the universe. This gives me a spiritual feeling that church never could. I always had a problem with the idea that a God would simply hand us the secrets on a silver palter. That just seems to be one of those too good to be true scenario.
Maybe what society needs is a new set of morals........... well not so much morals since it sounds too ridged. How about a values adjustment. It seems so strange to me that we still use phrases such as living in sin to convey negative connotation to a situation where tow people live together without marriage. I feel that some marry simply because it is what we are rased to believe that it is the thing to do when they are “in love” (whatever that might mean). It seems that some jump in so soon after meeting a person that we might as well have arranged marriages.
Marriage is a man made concept. I don’t exactly see what it has to do with love. If two people are that dedicated to each other then they will be together regardless of what a government document says. A marriage only serves to complicate matters when and if emotions change. Logically, if marriage rates went down divorce rates would follow.

Yah well, I do that sometimes. ( not actually crap my pants, but you know ) I just said all that I have to say so I decided to put a punch line there to defuse the seriousness over this, a topic that there is no real reason to get too serious over at this juncture. I look forward to arguing on other topics though. Who knows, maybe we might even agree on something. :P
Yes, and we, a 16, an 18, and a 21 year old shall pull on all our years of experience and criticize older generations. You guys are entitled to your opinions but come on, have either of you actually looked down the barrel of the marriage gun? I came from a broken family and I realized early on that life would have been worse if my folks stayed together. That whole “stay together for the children” thing is more likely to cause emotional harm instead. Look, the only reason people stayed together in the old days was because they would be looked down upon by society. It was “morally wrong” back then so people would stay in loveless or abusive relationships. I think that it’s great that people have the choice to leave if they made the wrong decision, and don’t give me that high horse BS about knowing not to make the wrong decision because you and I both know that no one is perfect. However I am disgusted by how some people don’t learn from their mistakes and jump in over and over. In that respect, and that respect only, do I agree that divorce rates are too high........ I also think that people get married too soon as well. Hell, I have an ex-girlfriend who got married after knowing the guy for six months. Needles to say, my jaw hit the floor.

It’s just that it dawned on me that this argument can serve no real purpose. If ghost exist, well then, good for them. If they don’t, then it changes nothing then does it?

Like I said in another post, you can download it from KaSaA......... Full version or hacked version........ just use your internet explorer to open the file.
Personally I don’t make movies. But dude, seriously, you are putting up a red flag here. I don’t think that there is an author who would take this post seriously. My advice? Buy * wink wink*....... ( that means don’t buy, get one free ) a copy of a professional flash animation software then either kick yourself in the ass for it or get really fucking good. Practice a lot too....... I hate shity flash.
Look at the times though. He was probably just trying to keep his topic alive....... The first two were a little close together................. You sorta got a point..........
Another thing is, so fucking what if ghost exist?!?! What good can it do us? What, are we going to put them to work or something? Good god, if I was a ghost I wouldn’t even fucking care if I existed. Why do you people?
Yes, they were. Any time a force is unexplainable by science and all you can do is place an otherworldly expiation on it is then considered paranormal. I also don’t care what the popular definition is. So what if a lot of people use the word that way? A lot of people are really fucking stupid as well. Do you want to follow the example or use the words that mean what they mean?
They are both cults, one is just a successful cult.

Well, what you have to realize is that all paranormal really means is something that can not be ( or at this time can not be ) explained by science. As I stated before, the concept of energy was debated until the 1850's. Since there was no proof and it was not officially accepted by science that it existed then technically it was a paranormal idea. Or how about the days that people believed that the gods created lightning? We know that this is wrong today but is had a paranormal explanation before logical thought caught up with it. I stick to my guns when I say that the paranormal is simply something with a scientific expiation that we may not have the means to fully understand just yet.

"Energy cannot be created or destroyed." Do you have any idea what this is actually saying? This is a laymen term explaining a very important scientific concept...do you know which one? Besides, whenever people make this statement, it always seems to me that they think "energy" is a physical entity, which of course, it is not.
1)Explain to me what scientific concept "Energy cannot be created or destroyed" originates from.
2)Define energy for me please.
No cheating by looking on the internet now!
Seeing as how this is not my field and is just a hobby I’m not to fresh on my physics, if I were to venture a guess I would say that the concept that you are eluding to is the conservation of energy where the total amount of energy remains the same. ( hope I got that one right ) The second is a difficult question to answer in a short way because of the nature of energy. But if I’m not mistaken it is the mover of substance. I mean, there is matter and there is energy. Since we can see most matter and not most forms of energy (we can usually only see it as it is being transferred or transformed) it remains an abstract concept to some. That’s probably why its existence was debated well into the 1850's.
The *electrochemical* reations of the brain go nowhere. The energy of the human body is given off as "heat." But I would also like to know what you think "electrical energy" is.
I misrepresented my idea..... Actually I am one of those people that likes to argue simply because I find it entertaining and I find it improves dialectical thinking skills. Sometimes I don’t even care if I agree with the side I have taken. I give you this one because at that point I was talking out my ass. However, I still think that there is something to a scientific explanation to paranormal phenomenon.
My mind is open, all I want is evidence and a good theory, not pictures and "Oh well, I just believe."
I’m not saying to “just believe”. Hell, as an atheist I’m the last to tell anyone to take it on faith. I just say that scientific research into this kind of thing should be taken seriously.
Aliens are not part of the "paranormal" and the government has found diddly for evidence as well. Then again, I know they used to fund paranormal projects but I doubt they do that anymore...more like private organizations.
As recently as Desert Storm the US government made use of a program that is still getting funding. People who could supposedly “remote view” meaning that they could concentrate about a person or place and get a real time mental image of the entire surroundings and situation down to the smallest detail no mater how faraway and isolated. This is just the stuff that is declassified, wait a few years and I’m sure you’ll hear about all the projects that are going on right now.
Also, I know that extraterrestrial is not in the realm of the paranormal, I was making a point that the government spends money scientifically researching things that most people dismiss as fantasy without really giving it a second thought.
By the way, this is my first real attempt at a point by point argument on a web post I’m not sure if I deleted my other part correctly. Oh well, it’s the only way I’ll learn.
Regularly we find that the mystifying or paranormal is simply science that we do not understand yet. I believe that ghostly activity is driven by residual energy. Think about it, energy an not be created or destroyed, only transferred. It is well known that electrical energy naturally exists within us as a means of a functioning nervous system. Where dose this energy go when we die? I don’t think that it is conscious but it may follow regular patterns set in life. Laws of physics dictate that energy follows the path of least resistance this may explain why it tends to stick around places it is use to moving around. It’s subatomic particles or “quarks” might be following paths worn into fourth dimensional hyperspace (sorry, I’m trying to unify this into multiple feils theory). The theory that ghosts are energy may even explain why batteries tend to drain incredibly fast, even when not in use during a “paranormal event”.
One should not close ones mind to the possibility of the paranormal existing. In fact, every year even the US government funds research on the paranormal, extraterrestrial, and the field of mental powers. Search the web if you don’t believe me. It’s not a secret.
Kids were worked much harder in the old days and there was never a problem with suicide among the young. I mean when it was normal for a young boy to get a job at 13 or so, and had harsher restrictions at school including regular contact between parent and teacher and corpral punishment for back talk of not working. I blame teens killing themselves on this melodrama culture we have made for ourselves .Every little fucking thing is made into an end of the wold scenario. That, and the pressure of perfection that is embraced by young culture that is made so important by the media that if you are not able to obtain it then you are made to think that you are defective.
Personally I see nothing wrong with killing yourself. It is every persons right to do with their life as they see fit as long as it will not interfere with another. Leave religion out of it, you can’t tell others with different beliefs what to do. I just think that it’s sad how as a society we have managed to produce people so unable to cope with everyday life.
I have a gripe about this topic since it has been brought up by all of my black friends. Most of them defend him 100% for a reason that really pisses me off. You know the one.....
Ohhhhhhh.......Shaq can’t be a racist, he’s black. *pause to let sarcasm sink in*. Look, if I were to start talking in old vaudeville style black-face talk and started saying bull crap like “ I loves me some watermelon” you know that people would call me a racist. However he gets an excuse, the logic being that he is just screwing around. Hell, he might of, but you know what? It was still a joke at the expense of another based on their race. It’s that simple. I don’t think that he’s a bad guy just for that, I mean everyone shoots their mouth off without thinking, or makes jokes that they don’t really mean just for the sake of a laugh. In this case however, he stupidly made the mistake of making a joke when it was not appropriate and in front of the press. Still a racist joke, but there may not have been total malice intended.
My last one was to DarkCyrstal by the way.... sorry
At least give Carlin the credit.......I love the bit though, he has to be one of the brightest men alive.
