Yes, I think I would. I do not fear death, only the way I may go. Would it be slow and painful, or quick and painless? I would prefer the latter. As I mentioned in a previous thread, I've reached most of my goals, and have had, for the most part, a decent life so far. If it streatches another...

You really caused me think here dutch baka. We die because we must. If everyone lived for 200 years or so we would overpopulate the planet and use up all its resources. We would become a "cancer" on the planet. And what is cancer but cells that never die. They just keep reproducing and...

Not unless the "soul" wanted to enter the silicon brain would it have a soul. I believe that what we call a mind is indeed our soul. It is the essence of who we are. Our personality, if you will. I am not religious, but I am of the belief that "we" are spiritual beings only occupying this shell...

Yes it is. Very interesting list. And quite contradictory to the US. I'm still curious as to why. It's also interesting that the Mercedes S-class, although the most "unreliable" in it's class here, is the 2nd most satisfying car also! Quite a contradiction. I'm also curious as to the...

I think it is. According to the most recent issue of "Consumer Reports" here in the USA they list the Most Reliable Cars (listed by catagory with top scorers first. All are much better than average) as follows: Small Cars 1. Toyota Echo 2. Toyota Corolla 3. Scion xB (Toyota) (2nd most...

kirei_na_me was right in her signature when she said, "It's funny how the conversation always turns to sex." Anyway, while we're on it, I guess I misread your your post. Yes, it really is that bad here in the states. Get caught with a porn magazine or something like that in public and you...

Very good point. Something I haven't given much thought to. You are quite correct in pointing out that that the Japanese and Belgians do not have this complex so prevalent in the west, especially here in America. If one were to read a Japanese hentai manga here on the train or in public they...

Maciamo you are quite correct. Maybe I should've said, "Why is that the most reliable cars, copiers, etc are made by the Japanese?" It has always amazed me that people go for brand names over reliability and quality even when a certain brand name is supposed to equal quality when in fact it...

Yes, but it seems Japan has taken most of those inventions to a higher level. Why is that? Look at what Bill Gates did for the Computer that IBM didn't want anything to do with. Or the copy machine that, I think, Kodak turned down. If they didn't do it, I think the Japanese would have. Why is...

I used to care what others think, but at my age I've found that it really doesn't matter what people think of you. If they dislike you, they are going to dislike you no matter what you do or how you try to change to meet their expectations. If they like you for who you are, they will like you...
