The Science of Love

Xyde writes "Economist.com has a story just in time for Valentine's day called 'The Science of Love'. Presumably the difference between love and lust is little more than a bunch of chemicals, which can be controlled with injections (in voles anyway). Quite an interesting read."

I'm in love and it ain't with a damn computer!
I just had roses delivered to my sweetheart since I couldn't be there with her today but next week I'm going to ask her to marry me.

You pricks want to talk shit about hormones and chemicals and prairie dogs and rats and labs.

Fuck all that shit. I don't need or want it explained or examined. Leave it alone for gods sake! Enjoy it because it's hard to find and hard to keep and oh so rare in this world now.

I don't give a rat's ass about chemicals or lab tests or pyschoANALysis..

People that want to break everything down and examine it under a microscope need to get a fucking life, maybe if they had someone to love they would be trying to fuck everything up for everyone else...

Damn...

Yeah, kiss that karma bye-bye.. But at least *I'm* in love with a beautiful lady.....

This is obviously your first time being in love! =) Ahh, the beauty of naivety. Maybe when you are a bit more mature you'll see the full picture of love instead of being completely intoxicated by it's components (as suggested in the article). I'm not bashing you, I'm just saying that it's really funny to hear you say "Screw you all, I don't need to know about the science of it, I love my woman, blah blah".. It just goes to show how powerful and intoxicating love really is. (and how it pushes logic to the side, too)

Re:What about spiritual love?

[LordK3nn3th]

The theory does not state that only physical interaction will be a part of it. In this case, you seem fairly desperate (looking online?) and you have found an attractive (you can still see them) female.

Science is only as limited as humanity's scope of the universe is. That is, only what we can know is what we can know. Anything else is conjecture.

Besides, computers are still part of "real life". What, just because your faces are transmitted over distance onto a 2D projection doesn't change your emotions any.

Spiritual. Ha! That's nice, postulating a "spirit" entity to explain something. Why not postulate something from observation instead of making it up?

Conservative and scientist usually don't go together IMHO, so you needn't worry about that!

Re:Just chemicals

[LordK3nn3th]

Sadly enough for you, your whining is still "just" chemical reactions. The universe operates the way it does regardless of what you think.
