    You can not appreciate it if you want, but you are the one that said you are ignorant of spiritual wisdom. Do you not know what agnostic means? Atheism?

    To start with, have you actually read the bible or any other spiritual work YOURSELF, going back to the originals?

    I'm comfortable where I am but thank you.

    Yes, ignorance is bliss. Sometimes I wish I could return there. Anyways, please don't confuse 'all available evidence' with the 'evidence' you are aware of. Takes a wise man to know what he doesn't know.

  3. Re:Objectivity and evidence on Iran Unveils Its Own Stealth Fighter Jet, the Qaher F-313 · · Score: 1
    The difference is only in your mind. Religion is individual personal spiritual experiences turned into dogma. Science is the same with individual experiments.

    The evidence to examine is spiritual experiences. Thankfully, there was a whole culture(openly, many secret societies of course) of people investigating this and they came up with processes and techniques to follow that if done properly lead to exactly the same results across individuals. Just because you aren't aware of this does not mean it doesn't exist.

    Which is more irrational, to believe in your experiences or to not believe in your experiences because someone else tells you it's not possible?

    Ok, so you're agnostic not atheist like the parent. What gnosis do you want, perhaps I can help? The truth of judeo/christian/muslim beliefs becomes obvious in light of other spiritual traditions. It's quite easy to understand how the church lost it's way, after all, how much tech was lost in the US just since the moon landing?

    Ah young padawan, do you not realize that the energy and the ritualistic movement that can generate it are two seperate things? There is no spoon.

    It's a computer. Your interaction with it is limited. You do not tell the cursor to move by giving it directions in english to move so and so pixels in the x direction and in the y direction. So why the hell would you communicate in ASL with it???

    All of your problems exist only because you are trying to use the wrong tool for the job.

    The HUGE advantage this would have is that it could be an avenue for teaching people how to move their bodies properly. RSI happens when you don't know how to move properly, that's why the damage occurs.

    Anyways, they still are coming about it the wrong way. I won't say why, I still have some hope that my system will be finished before someone comes up with the same idea. It'd be nice to be known for something and I'm extremely suprised nobody has implemented it before.

    Perhaps these UI's aren't meant for low-level troglodytes like yourself? Perhaps they're made for people who can move their bodies and spend most of their time not being worker slaves?

    I'm suprised at all the irrational hatred and derision on this site towards Iran. It's almost cosmically funny that most of the posts are about Iran's stupid attempts at propaganda when all the hatred and derision comes from US propaganda.

    Aren't there laws in the US about the minimum amount that can affect your credit rating? Isn't it extremely simple to dispute a charge on a card? Credit ratings are for gauging your ability to pay over time, how do you think a one time non-payment with no future service would affect that? Or perhaps you think he was on a contract?

    Perhaps you just don't allow little details, like RTFA, get in the way of your rants?

    No, mine was relevant. I was talking about communities getting together and insuring everybody has access. Nican's are very nice, happy, open people and are willing to share, maybe because they are so poor. It is an example that it can be done.

    Of course, I'm pretty sure most USians won't open their wifi for fear of misuse, hacking, and privacy invasion.

    It's pretty common, at least on routers i've owned, to have the option to set up limited passwordless access for guests. I wonder how many geeks in different parts of the world have used this function?

    I'm sorry. Isn't it government for the people by the people? BTW, hasn't the US always had the highest per person debt?

    As an aside, you need to improve your reading comprehension and read between the lines. Am I 'blaming' the individual if he follows his government's example? Is the 1% to blame because of what you say? Or the government because they allow it? Or the individuals because they allow the government?

    Do you not realize the blame lies with everyone? The solution will never come forward with a USian stance of us and them.
