torn asunder

well, since everyone else is 'fessin up, i might as well too. at one point or another i've had crushes on yeah, i don't think so...

sociable, but nobody's around - anyone wanna chat?

i'm sorry, but at least now you know, and can move on and focus on yourself.

finally got a run in - 2 miles. got to try to keep at it this time...

did somebody say... The Comfy Chair!?

tired from my run, i've got a headache, and i'm hungry, but i feel good about making 2 miles after having not run for a while.

getting ready to go for a run...

i'm thinking, "i need to get off my fat ass & workout", so that's what i'm going to do.

congrats!

for some reason, this popped into my head when i saw this topic again...

exactly...

good lord, people - any more obvious & i'll have to move this to the sexuality forum!

i'm feeling like i'm going to be having some trouble with this isolation - i'm either going to go crazy from not seeing anyone, or get fat and broke from going out to eat all the time in order to talk with anyone, and really, does "what would you like?" and "how is everything?" qualify as having a conversation? ugh.

rev., phee, please take this to PMs, as it's become a personal debate between the two of you.

ditto...

hey, gaf, did you read the whole wiki article on loop quantum gravity? 1st thing that struck me was #3... you're trying to use this theory for a big bang based on a mathematical singularity, when it's stated that this theory replaces the "big bang" with a "big bounce", therefore it's not really valid for your argument. i'm going to finish reading it when i get back, i have to head out for a bit. thanks for letting me know about this, it's really interesting!

take it easy man, we're just having a conversation. i'm sure at least some people see what you're saying. as for me, i never said "everyone missed it", i said "a lot of people". don't take things so personally...

i'll do that, because right now, it doesn't make any sense to me. sounds interesting though.

well, i guess saying "established" was a poor choice of words!? i figured that you'd already stated our universe sprang from this singularity... and the physics, special physics and relativity to which you refer, only apply in this universe because we know no other experience, and can't say whether it would apply inside a singularity, a different universe, or especially outside of this universe (external to the singularity, which is where you claim "god" was). if we look at your wiki quote, (which i agree, is not the best, but let's work with it)... we see that the more dense things get, the more general relativity breaks down, and we are forced to use quantum mechanics. now, if we extrapolate from there, and take into account that a singularity contains *all* of the known and unknown material in this universe, contained within a mathematically one-dimensional point (which is for all practical purposes infinitely more dense than the densest black hole) i don't see how anyone can state that even quantum physics could still be applicable. i don't see any possible logical way to positively say that's true. am i making a bit more sense? i can try to explain further, but i'm not sure how much better i'll be able to do so.

einsamkeit.

thinking that, since i don't have anything else to do, i should probably start working out agian. think i'll do that tonight.

actually, banning alcohol would not be the next step in your scenario. you want the ban on smoking to be revoked, so what that implies is that, since the drunk driving laws aren't working, let's revoke them. does that make any sense? i don't think so. and personally, i don't care what's banned. if one thing is banned, people will find another. i think regulation for the safety of the general public is fine. they haven't banned smoking, just regulated where it can be done, for the health & safety of the general population. that's my opinion.

i was almost embarrassed for them today - and i don't even follow football!

related to the above - we've already established that normal and quantum physics wouldn't apply to anything contained within a singularity; it doesn't even apply in a black hole, and *it* has mass & size. therefore, "there is always a cause" isn't necessarily true. as for your previous post.. that, to me, comes across as someone trying to use semantics to create an argument/debate. the common meaning of "god" is "deity" for most all laymen (laymen = common people) not some newly created definition. if , why don't we just call it a "schnickle-gruber" or something - at least that way, there is no preconceived notion about a word that's being used in an unconventional way. the fact that they used the word "god" is inflammatory at best.

what you seem to be confusing is this - alcohol does not harm the staff. people who drink do, in your scenario, and only if they've had too much and are belligerent/angry/violent. now, if i were to, say, burn 5-10 cigarettes for every person who came into the bar, but none of them directly or actively smoked, the smoke would still harm others. you're debating two different things. also, you do have the right to not be killed by a drunk driver, that's why there are *laws* against it, just like this law.
