Why do people suck so much at debating? I've learned to keep my mouth shut most of the time because people will attack you with an indignation and malice it's unreal! I mean, it's gotten to a point to where I can't even agree to disagree respectively, without people trying to make false accusations against me, borderline slander me, call me the worst names in the book and so on. When all I did was disagree. So I stopped engaging in debates for a long time, all it would turn into a name calling contest. However, recently many people have been posting things on my fb regarding how horrible a political party is. Today, I finally had it. Some of my fb friends were bashing o…

Not sure if any of you are aware of the Suidobashi Heavy Industry corporation. But these guys are awesome! Japan makes the first steps towards a high powered militarized mech. This is some really amazing stuff that they work. These guys are literally trying to build the first Gundam aka Mecha Warrior. The video is about Suidobashi's heavy industry mech, Kuratas and how it operates. Check out this video. http://youtu.be/2iZ0WuNvHr8 http://youtu.be/4ZIWXNS7Ggc Also here is the official page. This is so amazing. I want one! These things are literally built like tanks! http://suidobashijuko.jp

How come I have to accept and support what other people believe when they sit and berate me for not supporting or siding with what they believe in? I feel like some times I become the center of their anger towards something they don't like. Often if something is said about either politics or religion. Some times I find that I'm on the crap end of a debate with 3 or more people. For instance. I don't always agree with someone of a different religion or something political. I know my words aren't always the wisest or chosen wisely. I normally am getting mouthed at or having my self esteem beat down by other people. Some times they tell me that I am narrow minded, …

I was thinking that since this is still a loose subject of science fiction. I think advanced prosthetic bodies that are fluid mechanical and look human and are more durable than the actual human body itself with real skin that feels real and looks real would be amazing. You could pretty much change how you look and even your gender. I think full prosthetic would allow people to live longer and would help us achieve more medical achievments today. Help us fight cancer, AIDS, and other horrific diseases both genetic and deadly. people who are dying could have their brain put in a brain case of some sort and brain case and placed in a prosthetic body of their choice.…

Newer, stronger, and faster computers are always being built. Will there ever be a day when computers reach their peak and cannot become any more powerful? I doubt that they will always be able to get more and more faster/stronger forever, but I often wonder will there always be a limit with current technology..? Now its is managed creating multi core CPU's... But that also will reach to a limit shortly.. then we will see some different technology which very much different from current semiconductor based technologies. Thoughts?

illinois Passes New 'Revenge Porn' Law That Includes Harsh Penalties Posted: 12/30/2014 8:11 pm EST Updated: 4 hours ago Illinois became the latest state to criminalize "revenge porn," crafting what its creators hope will become a model for federal legislation. Gov. Pat Quinn on Monday signed a measure making the "non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images" a felony offense in Illinois. The new "revenge porn" law -- so called because the intimate photos and videos are commonly distributed by a former (and often embittered) romantic partner -- goes into effect June 1, 2015, and will punish offenders with one to three years in prison and up to a $25,000 …

Amid mounting allegations against him, Bill Cosby has broken his silence -- kinda. In recent days, he spoke with a reporter about how the media should cover the story. View the full article

something that has been on my mind recently. I wonder about how people can be very lonely in life but might not be able to find a safe place to express themselves. We all know there are predators online. we might think a particular website is safe and has lots of nice people, but then one of those members might not be what they appear to be. I had a recent issue when on an online dating site. I met a beautiful girl and she was capturing my heart big time. she was saying all the right things and I was really enjoying talking to her... until all of a sudden I realised, 'she' could be a fat old man. I panicked. I suddenly realised the only way I could be sure was if I…

Will it ever be possible to have world peace? I really just wish everyone would get along. I'm just not for any type of war and I feel that its unethical to shoot another human being under an circumstance. I understand that its appropriate for any country to defend itself; thats fine with me. But I'm really not for another country invading another just for self gain. I guess the only one way for world peace would be possible, would be that the entire nations be ruled by an Empire. If the countries are all under the same government. Than there would be no need for a war of any sort. That government could regulate anything that it needed from either country. …

This is a topic about light and darkness and things related to them, such as fear of the dark, trying to light the darkness, and why people like the night time or day time, and anything that one can think of, as well as ways for "seeing" though the darkness of night or overcast and illusions, such as mirages and such. First, I'll start with a question? What is darker outside: a new moon night or an overcast night? That does go towards how light can trick us and how we in reality might not be able to see the same thing. In other words, it depends. I'd have to say a new moon night with dim stars. With overcast, the cloud cover can catch and reflect light, and the …

I've always wondered about femininity and masculinity, and the standards that have been set, and why I don't think that they work. Take me, for example. I'm into cars, history, weapons, weather, traditional guy stuff. Yet I like to write, be creative, and if I had a girlfriend, I'd go shopping with her and do her hair and nails. That's the feminine stuff I'm into, and I also like to cook. I really think that the broad standards of femininity and masculinity are kinda crap and don't make a lot of sense. What works for one person probably won't work for another of the same gender or anything like that. Everyone's different. Personally, I like women who are…

This may be a stupid topic, but it goes along with a fan fic that I've been working on that barrows from the world of the Twilight Saga and the universe of Bio-Booster Armor Guyver, and is meant to be a tribute to both of those works. One of the things that I've been wondering about is how Guyver creatures would stand up to Twilight creatures--vampires, shape-shifting wolves and vampire hybrids namely. For those of you who are out of the loop with the Twilight Saga, Twilight vampires don't have the traditional vampire weaknesses--no stake though the heart, now dying in sunlight, no dying in Holy Water, none of the stuff that James Rolfe describes in one of the AV…

I was wondering what it would be like to be a god. I wonder what it would be like to be one. To make a religion for yourself and have people pray to you and to have total control whether their soul belongs in your paradise or in an eternal purgatory of pain and suffering. To either grant people good health or just kill them with a tornado or a huge tsunami just with the turn of a hand or to move a mountain like God from the old testament,or strike an enemy of your followers with a huge thunder bolt like Thor from the Pros Edda or Zeus from the Illiad would. To me, a god is an immortal supreme being with dominance of mortals. They can create life and than they can destroy …

I was talking with Yuki in her blog about this earlier, and I though that it would be a good topic for here for us to discuss. We can also cite fictional examples, but I'm mostly looking at this from a "human" or "real life" POV. Here's a couple of things that I posted in her blog that I find disconcerting. One is that I have a fear of crowds and strangers, and the other is some of the disadvantages of living where I do. To quote: "Oddly, one of the things that I don't have to put up with where I live is a lot of people being around. And I hope that you didn't take my comment as "the whole human race is worthless because people are prone to acting out of fear"…

First off, I don't know if this fits better here or in the actual Guyver section, so for now I'll put it here. If a mod or admin thinks it'll be better suited or served in the main Guyver section, feel free to move it. Secondly, I'll be basing this partly off canon, partly off my fan fic work, and off my own thoughts and observations which form the basis of how I'll portray such characters in my fan fic and how I see them in the canon of the manga. Now for the actual topic. I'll be touching upon several things and how they apply to the major female characters in Guyver, especially the protagonist. I believe that about everyone on here who've seen certain of my discus…

I decided to make a general thread about various technology stuff about mechanical and electrical devices. Anything can be discussed here, though my areas are expertise are limited with some technology (though looking up the stuff could give me something to do when I'm bored). Mostly, this is a discussion about how various technologies work and our thoughts and opinions on them. Since one of my areas of expertise is automotive stuff, there's a new type of high-beam headlight that Audi and BMW are developing call the Laserlight. Audi currently are using them on their new R18 e-tron quattro racing car, and their Audi Sport Quattro concept car, and BMW feature them on…

I've gotten an idea for one of my fan fic characters and his battle form. My character Camel is a vampire hybrid that's capable or transforming his body into any battle form that he pleases. But one feature I want him to have is bio-luminescent highlights around his eyes. My inspiration doesn't come so much from nature, as from a technically inanimate object. Both major generations of the Audi R18 e-tron quattro Le Mans race car has used back lit strips in their headlight bins that are different colors so the teams can identify which of their cars is in pit road at night. I also got influence from how occasionally a Guyver's eye lenses will light up red as a warning…

First it was the comments section getting futzed up, and then Youtube's new owners trying to force Google+ crap down our throats, and now this "copyright claim" that's not even coming from companies that are allegedly making those claims. This crap has got to stop; there is no way that this is right. http://www.change.org/petitions/google-change-the-youtube-comment-section-back-to-its-original-form https://www.change.org/petitions/youtube-stop-flagging-videos-through-artificial-means

So I was wondering what it would be like for a Guyver to be placed in a space type environment? Could a Guyver space walk? Does a Guyver have any oxygen stored somewhere so that it can breath in a vacuum? Can a Guyver survive being hit by space debris? So many things to think about. What is the Advocacy's opinion on this?

Yes my friends, time for another science post that actually about science. This, being about misconceptions of physics:
