Is there a God?
69, something has to come from nothing at one point or another (if time is not cyclic, but even then I don't know if that's a good enough argument and I don't really want to think it through). Scientists have observed particles simply popping in and out of existence too. At any rate, as I explained earlier in the thread this kind of speculation is just that: it doesn't lead anywhere until we can make an empirical observation and actually see for ourselves how things work (cf. the particle example above). If you just babble on about things you can't see, you'll end up making valid arguments both proving and disproving the same thesis.

What are you listening to right now!?
Drought - Pelican Someone recommended this album to me because it sounds like HEX from Earth. Don't know where he got that but I like it!

Is there a God?
It's kind of an inconsequential God though. Not to mention, this kind of cosmology doesn't really answer anything because you'll eventually start wondering where the God came from...

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
In a nutshell, I believe you should only spend time with her doing things you'll both enjoy. Don't try and get her to do things with you that will likely make her bored or uncomfortable, and don't allow yourself to do things that you don't want to do just because she wants you to do it. That actually makes sense. But the problem with that is, how do i know i won't enjoy something unless i actually try it? It's like saying i hate cabbage, but i've never eaten it before. I might end up having a great time, or i might end up having the worst time ever. But i won't actually know unless i try it. You're right, but that's not what you were saying earlier :P

Guy, it's a birthday party. You're not going to court. If you were invited, chances are Claire doesn't think this is going to be awkward or whatever.

I love you, Wongtong.
Oh, so it's not like you knew the creators. Suddenly less cool, Wongtong...

So how did you find out about head2head?

Your face is boring as shit. Seriously though what was the lecture about? Logic. Which is very different to how I see it. Logic is basing facts off of what you get told. There was a pretest, which I seem to go about as well as the people actually doing the class. Which is sad. Oh yeah, logic is the shitty part. You need it to make sure you're not saying bullshit in the other areas, but it's not really interesting in and of itself.

Noxx, they're probably going to turn out to be decent people. Your first post just made it sound like you didn't want to go. Also "I want to show her I want to be wih her so I'm going to meet her friends"? Am I getting this right?

You don't really need to justify yourself to your ex and your sister. They don't have penises, they're not even justifying their claims that she's mean, and it's not any of their business.

Muggi is about to post that you don't have to choose. Calling it. [Edit] [bleep] I forgot about the prompt that tells you new posts were added.

Dan, are you still around or do you just pop in from time to time?

Is there a God?
Actually, it's the opposite. I'm not claiming to have proven God does or does not exist. "Absence of evidence is evidence of absence" is an appeal to ignorance. It's like saying "If a proposition has not been proven, then it cannot be considered true and must therefore be considered false". That is a false dichotomy, because we may simply not be able to know. Incidentally, the Wikipedia article says "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" can be used as shorthand rebuttal against arguments from ignorance. I thought I'd made it up. >_>

Does revenge lead to regret?
a) to feel like = to be tempted by. "I feel like eating some candy". b) Regret as I understand it implies that you feel responsible for an action which in hindsight you feel is not the way you should have handled the situation. Considering revenge is action against the one who is responsible, I don't think anything will come out of this question. Who are you going to punish, your own self? That wouldn't really start a cycle. If you were to punish someone else, then it's not regret to begin with.

The Style Thread
Roll your sleeves properly. Don't watch the rest of this channel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWcZLPA4b7Y&feature=related Tuck it in if you like; considering the shape of the hem (it's not square, right?), it's cut to be worn that way. You can also open your second button. That's about it, really.

So Muggi, how do you go through the poly talk with a girl, since we've agreed explicitness is important?

Lyrics
Jacques Brel was great, used to listen to him in the car with my dad on the way to/from school. Aaron Weiss from mewithoutYou is probably my favourite singer/lyricist, half because of his performance and half because of the lyrics themselves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8YANZ0yIDQ Hervé Salters, aka General Elektriks, is clever too. [hide]Take back the instant when you brushed him off your shirt You tried to drag him to the trash You tried to trade him in for cash Take back the instant when you blew him off your path With a kiss reading 20 below zero Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go Cold, cold moment when the first doubt shot through your head A black ink drip running through your veins Pregnant second dripping through the hour-glass When the lure of men who would be kings Made you lose the man who was wearing you ring He didn’t match your luscious thoughts tonight You couldn’t look him in the eye Awkward is the embrace when it’s not tight, not tight And so the jewel you once both had is left crumpled like a collapsed lung When all you had to do was hang out in the sun, hang out in the sun Sir, you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate But you were just born in the right place Just born in the right race You’re climbing Mount Everest now, granting wishes from above Favors are yours to give, lies are yours to live Take Back The Instants that lead you to believe That the earth shakes ‘cuz you’re not happy That the sun rises ‘cuz you’re not sleepy You got the loudest parade in town Clowns, assassins and crooks You got ladies in see-through gowns Reading extracts from your books Beggars are trailing at the back Waving from the cardboard float You’re thinking that from up close Statistics can be such a drag Your cup is full now, blood is the color of this wine And it’s dripping from the ceiling, and it’s making the chandeliers ring And the instant the ballroom overflows Your thrones turn into your gallows[/hide]
