  4. Between the lines. It's a figurative death. For example, the drone-like behavior you seen in many Westeners.

  5. We can agree or disagree, but because politicians do everything in secrecy and what works its way down through the media is what they want us to know, I have to rely on common sense to tell me that "suspicion" of nuclear armament isn't enough to to get you a war, but an attack on US territory kind of gets the ball rollin' in that department, don't you think? I'm not from the united states so I tend to look at things more clearly.

  9. Facts can skew the truth. Ever notice one of those situations: "don't bother me with the facts because my mind is already made up?" This is one of those situations. But it takes plain common sense to understand a simple idea; X "invents" the web, an idea that's still in it's infantile stage, and in addition countless other Y's collaborate to bring X's idea, (did I mention its in it's infantile stage?), to life, X, who pulled the idea out of thin air, gets all the credit for Inventing the web?

  10. And your chances of being killed by a terrorist are almost non-existent. Like you said, terrorism is a US-made farce with no real enemy. How about fighting homelessness which is a REAL problem and affects millions of people.

  12. There's one fundamental law that nature obeys that man breaks every day. That law is this... Nothing in nature takes more than it needs. And when something does, it becomes subject to this law and it dies off. An ocean, a rain forest, a human body are all co-operatives. A redwood tree doesn't take all the soil's nutrients, just what it needs to grow. A lion doesn't kill every gazelle, just one. There's a term for something in the body when it takes more than it's share. We call it cancer.

  13. Hydroponic fruits and vegetables are grown without insecticides. I grow most of my herbs organically and hydroponic vegetables on and off, and whenever I can afford it, I only purchase organically grown produce. Unfortunately I can't seem to abandon produce grown with insecticides 100%.

  15. There was no beginning, there is no end.

  16. @sherart I totally believe that we can manipulate matter with our mind. Actually, we do it all the time. Think about the simple action of moving your hand. But with this stuff, you're not moving objects with thought alone. Electrical impulses from your brain are being transferred into little electrical detectors on the headset. It's a bit misleading. In the example where the guy made the cube disappear, the program makes the cube disappear, the electrical signal from the guys brain triggers it.

  17. @Oldenuf The reason SOME vegetarians are skinny is because they don't consume enough fatty acids and protein (which contain amino acids). Fatty acids add healthy fat to your body mass. Amino acids are building blocks and they add mass to your body in the form of muscle, bone and connective tissue. Vegetables don't provide sufficient protein. So a lot vegans actually give up a vegan diet because they get so skinny. Veggies alone don't cut it. That's what nuts and seeds are for.

  23. The result of this technological age is the death of the human soul and nature.

  24. No problem mate. It's much easier to agree than to disagree. BTW- those aren't my ideas per se, and if you look up a guy by the name of Ray Kurtzweil, you'll hear him speak about similar ideas. He talks about the law of exponential returns- which means computers in 20 years will be a billion times more powerful, and how today they are a billion times more powerful than they were twenty years ago. He's a futurist, he'll blow your mind.

  26. Eating raw living foods is the single best thing you can do right now so that when you're in later years, YOU can decide when it's time to go, and you can go gracefully. If you eat a traditional western diet, Hospice will tell you when you can go, and you'll be strapped to 10 different machines with tubes jammed up every possible orifice.

  27. The speaker is so nieve. We should all be proud that we have form of consent as a society? And this he utters while we're all guine pigs in the face of the FDA becuase they refuse to lable GMO foods. What joke.

  29. A homeless guy walks into a bar and asks for a cocktail fork, bartender hands him one and he leaves. A second homeless guy walks into the bar and asks for a cocktail fork, bartender hands him one and he leaves. A third homeless guy walks into the bar and asks for a straw. Bartender asks: "How come you asked for a straw and the other two homeless guys asked for a cocktail fork?" Homeless guy: "Someone got sick outside and all the chunky bits are gone."

  31. There's intelligent life out there besides our own monkey minds, DUH. What gave rise to the monkey mind in the first place? Notice that mind is not the creation of man, but mind poses the question, "is there intelligent life in the universe?" We lack common sense to such a high degree that we miss the completely obvious.

  35. Michale Cremo can show you hundreds of examples of evidence that shows modern humans were around as far back as 600 million years ago, but because science is as dogmatic as religion and because the evidence threatens evolutionary theory, the information is filtered out so you'll never know about it, unless you're reading this.

  36. Cancer survival rate is high in America because we're one of the richest nations on the face of the Earth. How about cancer incidence rate?

  42. Yes, what I meant is that the neocortex is the most complex place in the known universe. therefore how can Hawkings refer to that as chemical scum. That's a joke. But I'm not arguing against curiosity and creativity. But I think it's important to not be lead astray by big claims and such. I'm all for personal experience.
