Say you watch the future an hour before it happens, because you know what happens you'd have to do exactly as you did. But because you know what happens you're not likely to do the exact same thing you would have done had you not known what it is that you were going to do.

If we're not at War with Iraq why did we execute Saddam? He wasn't a terrorist. He was a dictator of his country. A dictator is allowed to murder his people. He's a dictator...

You being in the future would change it. If he saw two of you there he might not be able to give the speech.

Didn't you ever watch "Back to the Future"?

Fish Tank

Last time I checked we're killing Iraqis and not "terrorists".

I'm ambidextrous.

He could have tripped on the way to the front of the room and broke his ankle. He could have fallen and bitten his tongue in half. He could have passed out from the pressure of giving a speech. There is no way of knowing for certain that it was going to happen or what he was going to say.

Fish Tank

I thought denial was the first step towards self destruction?

Fish Tank

Yes I did and I responded, "But you see h_k you didn't know he was going to even give that speech. He could have gotten ill and not been able to make it. He could have decided to give a different speech. He could have died before he spoke.

Fish Tank

Isn't "thanking god for what you have" simply "thanking god for what you have"? If you look at "praying" as any "communication" with God then that's different. But you keep saying that he "answers prayers if they are in accordance with His Will". Ans...

Blasphemy! lol

Whoo does sound like an exciting time. Good luck. Where's your copy of Ender's Shadow?!

A name is a name. If my future wife wanted me to have her's I would change mine.

Actually the definition of manmade is the opposite of natural creation.

Also it's "The Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy".

I have been drinking almost too much water lol. What exactly is the gel called and where would I get it? Right now I am taking fiber and a multi-vitamin. I'm drinking chocolate milk, and milk shakes. I was told it was good for an after-workout drink. Any thoughts on that? Or do you think I should ju...

Well, are diamonds â€œnaturalâ€? They do occur in nature, in â€œexceptionalâ€ conditions of temperature and pressure. Conditions even less exceptional than those needed for your bottle of Coke. So how long would it take nature to create a bottle of coke with coke in it? Without human intervention...

Im suggesting population control is the only way to stop us from destroying the Earth. We're not destroying the Earth... We're destroying our own chances of survival on a chunk of dirt in the vastness of space. Earth will be here long after we're done doing our extinction. Long live Earth! :) A. PS...

Touche.

But isn't 5 years 359 days still considered still less than six years?

Fish Tank

So am I. There are predictions that the War in Iraq could end up costing 2 trillion dollars. When that much money is made and spent, the value of said money is depreciated.

Fish Tank

Bush has one year left, and the next president will have four years. And 2012 is an election year for the U.S. presidency. It is possible to have 2 different new presidents by the year 2012.

If he knows the ending and decides when it happens how can he not control the plot?

Fish Tank

So you pray to make you miserable? People pray in order to make themselves happier. And if God answers only certain prayers; to me that is determining who is happy and who is not. The point of prayer is to make people feel better. Thinking that there is always someone listening. What is it that you ...

As I said, population control is the start. I never said, "taking back technology". But we do not need to build gigantic skyscrapers, infinite highways and farms that stretch a few thousand square miles. Feeding us takes a big chunk out of the Earth as does our living quarters. Do people r...

439 Billion Dollars is a small portion of the reason?

Seems to me that it's kind of crappy that your God decides who is happy and who isn't. Whose prayers get answered and whose don't. I'd prefer a God who didn't answer prayers. But of course in my view "answered prayers" are nothing more than coincidence. How many prayers of yours are actual...

Fish Tank

That's why I said within the next 5 years. By then we could have 2 new presidents.

God created the show, the actors and the plot.

Fish Tank

How are we a "natural" element on this planet now? We create things that aren't meant to be created and things that nature wouldn't produce itself. Modifying crops, making concrete, creating plastic?

Fish Tank

I think the U.S. Government is definitely considering it. Another reason I think they're pumping Iraq full of troops. To make it easier to take control of Iran.

Fish Tank

The War is one of the reasons our dollar value is dropping. Because our debt is rising at the expense of a war we don't need to be fighting.

Fish Tank

You're not free to do anything if everything is decided for you. How can it be your decision if the action you take is already planned? I didn't say God decides for you, I said everything you decide is already decided. Therefore there is never a decision to begin with. A decision requires you to cho...

Fish Tank

Do you think we should have a method of population control? And if so; what exactly would you do? I have two different solutions both of them couldnt work right now with our current technology and moral ideals. First you could only have a child between 20-50 years of age, and be limited to a certain...

Fish Tank

Was wondering everyone's thought on this subject. Personally I hate the idea of none of my decisions being truly my own decision. I also think that if there is a god then determinism must exist. If God knows everything then he certainly would know how our entire lives are going to play out. I don't ...

So I'm on day 4 of the "Navy SEALs workout" and it blows lol. I was wondering if anyone here can give some of their personal experiences on a few things: How to reduce muscle soreness after a workout. How to condition myself to running longer distances at a faster rate. Clothing/footware w...
