Comment on Women’s rights by Louie

Louie — Tue, 08 May 2007 04:18:47 +0000

I do believe that women deserve the same rights as a man does. But in America it’s already been done. I think it’s gone a little to far already here in the USA, they need to focus more internationally. I mean there are women leading our government already. And just the other day i was looking for some scholarships for pilots and it turned out there weren’t that many men…most of them were for women and just a few for international students. So have women’s right surpassed it’s goal in the US?

Comment on Television has done much for psychiatry by John Galt

John Galt — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 14:29:05 +0000

Unfortunately, the problem with this is that TV has furthered the myth that psychiatry is a legitimate science, rather than the truth - that they are snake-oil salesman in nice white coats.

Every mental “disease” has come about through a hand count at the annual APA meetings (American Psychiatric Association) and not through actual emperical, scientific testing and research. Even before Congress, the head of the APA admitted they can’t cure anything.

Their biggest sin today is the mass drugging of children. The minds of children are not fully developed until into their twenties, yet these quacks think up new ways to label the children and then perscribe mind-altering drugs. You’d think they of all people would understand the mixing of psychotropic drugs with still-forming minds would produce unpredictable results, but then, it’s all about money, isn’t it. Billions of dollars every year are made by these dispicable charlatans.

Fortunately, many lawsuits are under way and many of these psychs are being put away for good and the drug companies are being sued for millions from class-action suits against their dangerous drugs and the damage that they’ve already caused.

The “science” of psychiatry is beginning to unravel and soon it will be laid bare for all to see what it truly is - smoke and mirrors, and a quest for money and power.

Silly troll, Sagan was an astronomer, not a biologist.

Anything you don’t understand, Mr. Sagan, you attribute to Evolution. Evolution
for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the
challenges to our intelligence.
You simply turn your mind off and say Evolution did it.

I love imagining the scene:

“Prime Minister, shame on you! You’re drunk!”

Comment on Proving that you’re worth a damn by Dehumanizer

Our opinions differ.

Actually, I found the stories quite uplifting… Sure (SPOILER), in some stories the main character dies at the end, but he achieves what was the most important thing in his life: avenging the only woman who was kind to him in his whole life, saving a little girl from a monster…

I am tiring of the hype of Sin City. Both the movie and the city are pits of despair.

Comment on A brain in a tank by Jenssen

This is a very unrealistic idea; however Hume argues that reality as we know it only exists in our mind and true objective reality is nothing like it. If you’re interested about this concept read the holographic universe, the idea that was developed by gohm and pimbram to explain quantum mechanics has far far reaching implications into what would be the most fitting views of reality, it explains such things as hallucinations, dreams, schizophrenics and the way we can store seemingly infinite amounts of information.

Like to a short explanation on holographic universe
http://www.red-ice.net/specialreports/2006/01jan/holographic.html

“Until the 20th century, Reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see, and hear. Since the initial publication of the chart of electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear is less than one millionth of Reality.”

Comment on Philosophy by Dehumanizer

Thanks.

This quote, apparently, comes from a book by Diogenes Laertius, called Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers. He attributes that quote (and others) to Aristotle.

Could you please tell me in wich of his books did Aristotle say that phrase?

Nice blog, by the way

Comment on Tougher than the toughies, sharper than the sharpies by Dehumanizer

Whoa! Celebrity alert!
Believe it or not, I’m probably your greatest fan in Portugal… Most people around here read Duck comics as kids (I’m 32), but have no idea who Barks was, or who you are. Far from other European countries, from what I’ve heard.

Anyway, technically, I believe Barks used “smarties”, not “sharpies”. From US01:

Please!!! That was a paraphrasing of one of CARL BARKS’ immortal lines! I was only mimicking it in my story about his character!

Defined by Cathy Guisewite, the four basic guilt groups are four types of temptation that the character Cathy faces in her daily life.

Comment on The real political division by Dehumanizer

Dehumanizer — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 21:46:09 +0000

Think about abortion. One side wants to be left alone, to decide for themselves. The other side, not content with deciding for themselves, wants to control what others should, and should not, be allowed to do.

This, to me, is the gist of it. It’s not about liberalism or conservativism, about whether life starts at this or at that moment, whether souls exist or not. It’s about controlling others, deciding what others can do.

Comment on The root of money by Dehumanizer

Dehumanizer — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:34:06 +0000

Indeed, a lot of people think of money as “evil” or “dirty”, I believe, because they see money as something that is only transferred: given, inherited or stolen.

However, this is not a zero-sum game. Money (and wealth, in general) isn’t like energy; it’s actually created. The fact that we don’t live in caves anymore should be proof of that.

Money is the product of genius, insight, imagination and hard work. Are those “evil”?
