Here we have two different points of view. I think Kama is quite correct here and that is what I was trying to convey yesterday when I just gave up thinking I was going off on a tangent. And so is Tsuyoiko correct in her point of view in that we are different from what were 20 years ago or even...

Because the brain has become damaged or is misfiring, so to speak. The damaged brain causes epileptic seizures. The brain is a complex physical object while the conciousness/soul is not. The soul just resides in the brain and cannot escape or leave until the death of the physical body. That is...

Sorry if I gave that impression as I have not closed the book on the matter mentioned. Quite the opposite. It's just that it is too incomprehensible for me to believe that the brain/soul is one entity and that upon death "we" cease to exist. I believe that they are seperate based on my own...

You have an interesting point here that I started to reply to concerning maturity, but I think I went off on a tangent and got really off subject and decided to put it off till tomorrow. We all are much different than we were 10 or 20 or 30 years ago, but I feel it has more to do with maturing...

I have not read those books nor do I desire to as I have a completely different view based on real life experience. To me, the brain is just a conduit, a "resting place" so to speak, the most complex organ of the physical body, in order that the soul/conciousness can experience the five senses...

There was an interesting thread on this that Smoke started back in April on "What Happens After We Die?. I posted my answer here. After experiencing actually leaving my physical body, which I detailed in the link above, I firmly believe in a "life" after the death of the physical body and...

Interesting thoughts from Junior. I believe Time is a man-made concept and only exists in the present. Think about it, you go to sleep and wake up 8 hrs later. Does it feel like 8 hrs? No. It feels like you fell asleep and then a second later you are awake. It doesn't matter if you sleep for 8...

It is interesting that, to date, no one has selected any form of "No". Personally, I feel it should be legal and that it is a woman's right whether she wants to bring a child into this world or not regardless if she is pregnant. I know some will beg to differ with me on this, but in my own...

At least you have visited those places.Was it you who posted a picture of yourself at Stonehenge? I think it was. Now there is a place I'd like to visit and I will one of these days. I envy you for being able to visit there and having a place like that at your doorstep. But, then again, the same...

In Japan a sincere apology is taken most seriously. A wise person can tell if the person is sincere or not. It is the act of apologizing that is important. Apologizing for being late for class or a date or missing a meeting shows that you are taking responsibility for your actions. In Japan I...

I've visited and travelled to all 50 states in the US and every prefecture in Japan with the exception of Okinawa. I have visited Pusan, Korea via the ferry from Japan. I have also visited and travelled in Canada and Mexico. I have never been to Europe yet, but I will visit one of these days. I...

You all might be interested in this web site (click on 'The Premise'). I have heard him interviewed many times and although I do not agree with him, his theory on the "god part of the brain" in interesting to say the least.

Not really as you could always disable the rep points so it just shows a gray square. This way if someone gives you a bad rep point it would be the same as receiving a PM from them and nobody would know. I don't think it's a form of control as, if someone is so squeamish (easily offended) about...

Donate! My thoughts exactly. I would not give a bad rep to someone for stating their opinion on a particular subject. If you want to see who is giving reputation points all you have to do is donate to Jref through Paypal. It is an added benefit for donators that surprised me. Any amount you...

Like Mycernius and MikeCash I also drive big trucks for a living. I have a set run and I drive 9-4:30 am Monday-Friday nights with weekends off. Of course if there is an accident on the highway or I break down I may work more. But those are rare. Since it is all interstate driving, I usually...

If I remember correctly, I think I was taught in Catholic school that, "God doesn't make any junk." If that is the case, why would people be born gay? Would God actually make someone gay just so he/she could be critisized and ostrasized by society in this world? If that is the case then God has...

I believe that a true gay person is born that way and they have no choice in the matter. I have two experiences from my childhood to prove that point. Case 1: I grew up with many boys on our block in New York City and we played the usual games that boys do like baseball and such. However, there...

Talk is one thing to appease those complaining about it. But acting on it is another. Have you seen any governmental actions yet? Me neither. The Minutemen proved it could be done, but nothing was done afterwards. If you'd look at my avatar and the info under my name, you'd see that I am...

Follow this link to find out where the term NeoCon originated. To find out just who the NeoCons are click on Statement of Principles, read it and then look at who signed it. These are the NeoCons. Any names sound familiar? Any in the present government under Bush? Any write for some major...

I have long believed that the power elite of this world, the "government" behind the governments of the world if you will, are bound and determined to turn America into a second or third world country. Right under our very noses they have been doing so little by little, brick by brick, industry...
