i didn't say i acted irrationally, and i do believe 100% that i am responsible for myself. i simply feel that emotion is also a form of rationality, i belive that i have a responsibility to treat other humans as sentinent beings with feelings and that feelings may be the basest form of logic. your feelings are the base logic built into your brain. i dont mean to use emotion as a cop out or as a way to justify what i've done. i dont believe i have to justify what i've done, overall i am my own being and my actions are my own choices, i arrive at my conclusions by considering what i feel AND think about a situation. i do not rely solely on emotion, but i do tend to skew a little bit that way. again its not so much a justification as it is an explaination. i dont want you to approve of my actions, if anything i wish more people would consider my ideas and adapt them as their own based on their relative merit and worth. the humane and caring way to live, the way to respond to your body's built in logic controls: emotion. by no means does this excuse my behavior, nor do i believe i behave irrationally, simply i behave as i feel and think i should. i dont think you can simply ignore the emotions , i feel you must work inside of them, it makes you a more complete and understanding human being.
i belive you may be right if you change the word naturally and all derivitives to nutured in some format. women have (on the whole) been nurtured by american society to be more emotional while men have (on the whole) been nurtured to be more logical and stoic. some of us guys were nurtured to be emotional and in touch with our feelings. personally i believe that emotion and feeling, especially empathy is a much more admirable quality than stoic rationality. to be able to empathize with other human beings is the most humane way of thinking about any given situation (in my opinion) and when it comes to me i'm quite a girly man (in that i share and experience a wide breadth of emotion in my daily life and many times allow emotional thought to override what i know is logical) - as an example, say you have five bucks and are stuck in planet mcdonalds with a friend who is broke, you cna either spend the five bucks for yourself to eat and let your friend go hungry or you can split it, each of you eat something, and both still be somewhat hungry, logic would typically dictate taking care of yourself first and letting the other starve, a sort of tough luck survival of the fittest rationale. i dont believe in that. i empathize with the fragility of the human condition.
a final point on the nature vs nurture aspect of life: place a baby in a locked room and throw food in it every once in a while but otherwise it has no human contact. does it grow up emotional if it is a girl and logical if it is a boy? no it prolly learns to eat with its hands and doesn't even learn how to speak. what you are calling nature is actually the way our society, mostly, nurtures the growth of its children. i will not deny there are basic differences between the sexes or between races, but to say that ability is innate seems a rather large leap of faith, not a scientific observation.
and someone mentioned in another thread that there is a box for a microsoft product that wasn't released until 1985, i'm sure bill had the box well before then too, so the world may never know
and you would be correct, i think this story was originally from boingboing here and they have corrected their site to say that it has to be from 1984 for the reason you stated (the apple computer in the background was not released til 1984)
i was going for satir., it seems that the ultimate power site has been parodied so many times that it is just an open target. also hopefully it is taken as somewhat a tribute to the awe-inspiring wonderfulness that is the original ultimate power ninja site. You can find the ultimate power parody site here and there is a really long list at the bottom of links to all the different parodies that this guy has collected. enjoy.
1. P2P are softwareses.
2. P2P spews bits ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the P2P is to flip out and hurt Metallica's bottom line.
Testimonial:
P2P can kill any band's ability to make money! P2P can cut off the flow of money ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These programs are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this P2P program that was running on a computer in a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon it downloaded the whole britney spears collection in like 5 seconds. My friend Mark said that he saw a P2P program totally suck up all his bandwidth just because he tried to download anna kornikova naked.
And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't believe that P2P has REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will chop WASD fingers right off!!! It's an easy choice, if you ask me.
P2P is sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart. These programs are totally awesome and that's a fact. P2P is fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet. I love P2P with all of my body (including my pee pee).
anyone care to explain why or how come i see urls printed like this all the time in slashdot comments. what gives with the spaces? are they all just dumbasses?
sure thats what i means, but it also means to kill, it also means a vinyl record check here http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wax &r=f the urban dictionary has many entries for wax, and isn't the point of slang that it is not the actual meaning of the word, thus there is NO really incorrect way to use a word if it is being used a slang?
about the french: that 100,000 euros was specifically for thailand, they will be contributing 15 million euros to the whole disaster, which is what? equivolent to about 20 million US dollars. and just wondering how does that compare to GDP for France? I bet its a much higher percentage of their GDP than 35 million is of our (USA).
I'm not ashamed of being an American. I'm not too proud of it either. I just live here. I don't understand why people get all proud of something like a country, but maybe I would if I lived in a different one. I doubt it though, but I don't have a lot of faith in people in general... much less in their ability to form a whole country that bases its premises on love and understanding... too many assholes everywhere... think i'm gonna go lay down now, i've worked myself into a bit of a tizzy
okay sure, but can you coach an 1150 kid into getting a 1430? dont think so. but with these drugs the kids might actually learn how to do the work well enough to do that well on the test.
what do you consider a big percent? that is a pretty vague term. i own ~1% of the company i work for (10 people, privately held). 1% is nothing when it comes time to vote at the board meetings (i'm also a director on the board of directors) titles and stock options are a lot of fun to throw around at our little company. maybe it will mean something someday
he only got 54 million votes! there are 400 million people in this (usa) country. and kerry got like 50 million votes. i'd say that just about shows that maybe a majority, a small majority at that, actually approve, remember there are millions upon millions of americans who dont approve of bush. and we dont want to be attacked, we dont want to be hated. we tried. we voted. we begged our friends to vote. "don't like it, get it", we hear that a lot. and we dont want to get out, we do like it (it being the country, not neccessarily the president), we like a lot of the stuff going on over here, a lot of us are not religious, a lot of us support equality and true freedom in ways republi-christians couldn't fathom (gay marriage rights anyone?) we dont want to move, we want to take the country back, we want to try to make this the best place it can be and now we have to wait four more years, for more old people to die, more young kids to vote, bush to fuck up more in his second term and disenfranchise more republicans, we have to wait and hope and wait and hope. it almost makes you want to cry, but instead wait and hope wait and hope.
how are you customizing form fields that doesnt work? i customize my form fields with css all the time using the border or background-color properties and it works just fine in mozilla. let me know what you are trying to do, maybe i could help you out.
hey i noticed you used the cool little mark over the e in the word fiance. i also noticed you sign your messages bill. so i assume you are a guy. isn't a fiance a betrothed male and a betrothed female is a fiancee? just wondering if you knew that. i didnt know there was a difference in spelling for the two words wil i got engaged either.
my question to you is: hasn't the earth been much hotter than this regularly? Isn't it natural for the Earth to cycle between a quite hot temperature and a quite cold one over a long period of time? so maybe humans are speeding up that cycle and maybe the Earth will get hotter than we can stand, but pretty much, it would have done that naturally anyway. If we make it a little faster, then we just eliminate ourselves as a species a little faster, something else will take over eventually.
hey moron moderators
1) is somewhat on-topic (flying cars are being discussed a whole lot in this thread)
2) it is also fucking hilarious, kevin smith is a genius , link to the actual movie http://www.viewaskew.com/tv/leno/flyingcar.html
the senate is a subset of the congress. congress is made up of two bodies (the house of representitives and the senate) i'd explain it further but those links will do better than i can do
