If he fights America, he will lose. Period. So who wants to start betting on how long the war will last? I say about 12 hours, ala Grenada.Fighting is no good, he won't do that. A permanent state of fear is much more useful to him....  [Read More]

So you're asserting that if you act out of emotion, you are out of control and have given up your free will? So the rational man is more free than the irrational? Seems to me either you're free or you're not. I hesitate to embrace the idea of a grays...  [Read More]

I don't follow. The person with free will chooses according to his/her own whim, rational or not, he or she is the ultimate source of the choice.But if you're not rationally choosing between the options, what exactly are you doing? Since the definiti...  [Read More]

I guess I'd borrow this definition of free will*: "The power or ability to rationally choose and consciously perform actions, at least some of which are not brought about necessarily and inevitably by external circumstances".Interesting. I...  [Read More]

Samuel, the concept of something being random implies that things can become something they are not already. But if the nature of the universe was fixed in 4 dimensions of space-time, there is just an eternal Now where everything just IS. Things are...  [Read More]

What if tomorrow physicists unified general relativity with quantum mechanics and showed proof of their results; and suppose also this proof explained away the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. In short, what if we realized that all of space-time w...  [Read More]

I don't know if I would want to live forever. It sounds like it would get awfully boring eventually. You live, and do these things, and live, and do them more... No, I think I will be okay with dying; I don't really consider it something to be feared...  [Read More]

It's hardly required that you go to Kavar's or the Senate, and there's plenty of Star Wars talk on the only-SW forums (lots on the offtopic forums too). I'm sorry that not everyone on the internet agrees with your political/religious philosophies, bu...  [Read More]

I'm having fun. It's always interesting to see many differing views on a topic, regardless of what I think of them. As for getting angry about it, I don't really. I had enough of that in the Senate. :p SS: if I made you angry, sorry about it....  [Read More]

To be honest I couldn't hear anything comprehensible in the songs that weren't obviously intentional. Of course, I don't have a prejudice against the music in general and I certainly didn't look at the supposed lyrics before I listened to it - that's...  [Read More]

The Consitution does not protect any right to marriage. It does protect the right to an abortion. The right to happiness is inscribed in the Declaration of Indepedence, not in the Consitution. Anything the Consitution did not give power to the feder...  [Read More]

But by passing the laws that someone disagrees with, calling them anti-civil liberty and evil, you are disrespecting their right to speak out against the calls, you are silencing them.If they're against the rights that are implied in the Constitution...  [Read More]
