Philosophy
let's figure out how things work. whether we're coming up with theories for how our favourite characters do what they do, or talking about real life science and belief systems, we can talk in here.
There is a specific rules for this forum, inside. Read them.
I think it goes without saying you have to have an open mind.
If your mind is closed or you are devoutly faithful to your own beliefs it is advisable to skip this area.
This place is a discussion board.
If you show a repeated refusal to listen to others views, it ceases to become discussion. You will then be barred from this area.
So discuss your ideas, think up new possibilities, be creative and have fun!

Well, I just finished reading a VERY interesting group of articles about the myths of evolution. What both People that believe in, and against have got wrong about it. It's actually very interesting. http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/d...p;nsref=dn13620 Check out a few of the things. It points out such things like how half a bird's wing is actually usefully, and that since evolution is gradual, half useful traits can evolve into wings, but sudden leaps that are next to impossible will most definetely never allow zebras to develop built in machine guns. Even though the zebra's could REALLY use them against lions. It even goes in and talks about morality, and …

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, …

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…

you say that they dont disprove anything - thats because thats what science does .it literally makes things up then disproves or proves them... if the LHC doesnt prove what they want it too isnt it going to dump on all the current theories rendering them useless....philosophy/metaphysics rationalizes what is known and even that which isnt known by science yet.... we dont need a bewilidering amount of mathematics and exact quantum values to think about cosmogonal concepts with the right brain as it is free from the confinements of the left brain i get you are saying that this lessons of light guy trying to marry our opposing views of philosophical and scientific has is…

How do you, and if applicable, your partner feel about PDA? (public displays of affection) Although I don't mind it. If someone doesn't want to see it. I always supposed just not to look. My wife is against it though because she feels people will view her badly for it. So we don't do it in public.

Do you think that evolution is real, and that we evolved from water, or apes, or that we came from the same family tree as apes Ryuki? Because I thought we were created by aliens, to be the bases for other bio-weapons. lol

Okay, this may be controversial and the subject of name calling (or racial terms) is not why I posted this, but it is this conversation in the comments that people were having and things that were being said back and forth to each other that really was just mind-boggling and I've known quite a few people who feel this way too. I'm so sick of all this racism crap, people need to get the focus off of race and onto the situation in the White House (or main body of government). Stop focusing on skin color and focus on ethics, focus on the laws, focus on the political scandals. Racism serves nothing but to divide the citizens of the country. Don't play into those games. HA…

So those not in the know, I recently went out with a 16yr old girl. Shortly after getting to 1st base I began to think heavily on what chemistry might be brewing. You see, I'm 20 and she is 16. The U.S.A's Law of Consent states that anyone under the age of 18 cannot give legal consent to sexual activities and any violation of these activities can result in a statutory rape felony charge. Now things got a little serious between me and the 16yr old (We just made out a little don't worry) and a part of me wants to pursue the relationship further...but I know the consequence to that and that consequence is JAIL. So 3 options came to my mind as I drove home to my apartment…

http://tremault.wordpress.com/2013/03/25/religion-codified-replacement-for-lost-culture/ These days we see a lot of conversions to new religions and we see a lot of people following particular religions, but is this a sincere decision or do these people seem to pick and choose the religion that seems to offer the ‘best bits’? There are many people who do discover a religion and it resonates with their soul, but how much of this is ‘finding the true god’ and how much of this is ‘finding the code that resonates with the self’? In many ways, the person + religion marriage, says more about that person than it says about the religion, wouldn’t you agree? s…

But I dunno if this place is the best place to ask such a crazy question. Ok, in my story which is in progress. I am designing some predatory rodents which I need some scientific fact to support this design of the teeth. As you can see the Rodent skull hasn't changed much for millions of years in fact they all look very similar. What kinda teeth will be needed or teeth shape would be best for a rodent's incisors to form so it can stab flesh. I have a few designs but I calculated that the creature might have what they call a teeth occulsion or overgrown teeth if I use my current designs. I would also wanna ask whether is it possible for a molar to turn into another tee…

Me and my cousin play a lot of games. rpg and heroclix and such. So we wanted to add the Guyver into certain Games and we came up with a few questions and a few brain teasers. at least for me. We got the basics mostly covered but when how his powers worked it came up with a few problems during gameplay. so my first question is this... His sonic busters. Are they similar to the powers of the mutant banshee? The Manga showed he can use it to atomize targets by resonating to their resistant frequencies, and it showed him using it as a means to escape by letting out a distorting pulse. like a really high pitched wail. Ok, now in the new series it went a step further. Wh…

I have yet to see the Manga to see what Sho is really capable of but i have seen the Anime and something that i have noticed is that if Sho were to face Sean from Guyver 2 The dark hero (under some weird case of event) , he would lose without putting a decent fight , i know that they have the same unit in witch they would be equal in strength but in skill is a different story , these are the reasons why i say it : Sho on the Anime has learned to use the gravity orb ,frequency blades ,the head beam , mega smasher ,Hyper sense , sonic busters and the gravity cannon and can barely beat a Hyper Zoanoid on is own ,got owned by Guyver 2 and had to transform into gigantic Guyv…

i have used the below quote from here http://www.japan-legend.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1425 as it sparked this thought for a topic... I never thought the exceed idea wouldnt go down too well with other people, i like the idea of a 52metre Guyver ( going back to an earlier discussion in the science lab that means a 52 m Sho!) .... i think the mass used to create the exceed would have just been an increased energy intake ( converted to mass) from the boost dimension right?? so theoretically depending on the energy potential of the boost dimension we could end up with a Galactus sized Guyver - Guyver C.E.R.G - Convienient Exceedingly Ridiculoulsy Ginormous where …

A lot of people say that animal testing is cruel and should be banned, but how else would we test products for safety? I feel like more humans would die if certain products were not tested on animals first. Are animal lives worth as much as human lives? What are your thoughts on this debatable subject? I'll tell you what I think, I give more value to human lives. I support testing on animals.We shouldn't torture animals in the process. We should make animal testing as less painful as possible. But we should strive for better medicine and medical treatment.

In your opinion, should countries be allowed to have nuclear weapons? In my opinion....no country including the US should have a right to Nuclear Weaponry. I don't think anyone should have nuclear weapons. Reason being...nuclear weapons are toxic, its not good for us or the Earth seeing as Radiation destroys and poisons everything. Look at what is going on with Chernobyl. They had a meltdown almost 30 years ago.... and the fallout is still there. Radiation doesn't dissipate. It stays. The fallout is still going on for the next 20-30,000 + years according to documentaries and other studies stated by scientists. So I think all nukes need to be disposed. Its not…

Hi everyone, I was talking about this topic in my audio blog in which I still haven't found the right words to describe this. Okay, as a movie buff and a story buff since since I began to know how to write stories, I began to notice the difference between the movies made more recently and the ones of the yesterday like 10 - 20 years ago. Anyone who have the same feeling? Let discuss that here intelligently and see what's the difference and what changed.
