    Why is this modded insightful when the premise is incorrect. The Chinese are not continually adding debris. This is a FUD campaign for more military spending.

    Shhh,... you're taking away the frightening image of the 'axis of evil' that the states has built up. Yes, it was terribly funny when the states was claiming Iraq was an imminent threat, when they can't even hit a city in their own country. It wasn't so terribly funny when the US citizens bought it hook, line, and sinker. Then again, not to terribly suprising. According to polls, probably 50% of americans think that iraq is closer than canada!! :)

    Don't you think it's scary that the states does have a contingency plan for everything that always ends in WAR??? Isn't incompetence seeing the world through a limiting viewpoint?

    I see that you understand that currently the way the world works is to make others suffer for your prosperity. Geez, i wonder why the world doesn't want the US spreading their 'foreign policy' everywhere. Is everybody really so dumb that they can't envision a world of, shudder, co-operation?

    Don't worry about the oil. The US already has papers outlining the annexing of Canada if need be. Well, at least BC and Alberta. Then Canadians would have fun hiding in the rockies blowing up sections of the oil pipe. :)

    Wait, you're comparing violence with a reason (Iraq) to violence with no reason (US)? No, Americans are definitely more violent for absolutely no reason. Well, i'm sure some people think capping someone because he has bigger bling is a legitimate reason. Such is the reality that the US has created for itself. It's all about greed.

    Gosh, why do all these posts turn out about war? What is the point of this article a year after the fact? Wait, the military wants funding? Congress wouldn't give them their missiles which (roughly paraphrased) 'might allow us to hit something quickly, but not guaranteed'. Don't you love the obfuscation abilities of English, best language for lying and misdirection. What's that? They states didn't do anything because they didn't want to admit to spying? What's that? The states is angry that China is trying to own space above china? Because right now, that's the states playing field. What's that? The states is angry that someone else made 1/5th of the garbage. We can't let somebody else be a bigger polluter than the states can we? The states is just jealous, because China is catching up in war crimes, civilian deaths, and global pollution. Who's going to fear the states when China comes to power??

    Nah, you guys spent more money to develop satellite disabling technologies that don't require explosives. Always a bit slow the americans, i guess that's why they're in so much debt. You know, russian pencil to US space pen. The states just gets pissed off when everybody solves the same problem as them at a billionth of the price. So, why the anger building propaganda NOW?

    Perhaps they were tests. It's not like it isn't something the states hasn't done before. Perhaps it's step 23 in the 'building anger towards china' initiative that the states has planned. Granted, china makes it easy, they're definitely less skilled at hiding their greed and foul business practices, nothing like the US's stealth approach. Haha, both kill their own citizens, however, they deny it in the US and China just says 'get over it'.

    i've noticed that if i've dealt with waking life during waking time, it leaves dreamtime for play. i.e., the more aware you are of what is going on around you during the day, the more aware you can be during your sleep. Though i have to agree, if i've been lapse in my awareness, or have learned a great deal that i can't classify(rare, not the learning part, autists can devour a lot of informaton if it's prepared for their reality) then i dream fantastiscal, symbology rich dreams over which i have no control.

    Are you saying that you only have memory of 40 dreams in your lifetime??? Perhaps that's indicative of your stance on dream analysis. I wonder if you're normal? It's extremely rare for me to not remember at least one dream a night. I remember dreams going back till i was 5. I've observed enough to say that there's something to dream analysis. Then again dream analysis is just as useful as waking analysis, though the symbology is usually clearer :)

  18. Re:Missing the point on Where Do the Laws of Nature Come From? · · Score: 1

    The easy way of understanding this, is that existence is a 144,000 piece puzzle. Science grabbed on to 4 pieces of the puzzle and reduced the hell out of them, and found out lots of interesting things, which of course, only seems to apply to those 4 pieces. They seem to have chosen those four pieces of the puzzle because their periods are small enough to reasonably test in our lifetimes, i.e, the orbit of an electron around it's nucleus, as compared to precession of the equinoxes. People are starting to notice that no matter how much you divide those 4 pieces, you still only have 4 pieces of the bigger puzzle.

  19. Re:Damn good article about faith... on Where Do the Laws of Nature Come From? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you can't understand the answer because you're asking the wrong question. That's a very western/catholic point of view that the question arises out of. Spiritualists, not those who believe in religious dogma, and most eastern 'religions' can't ask that question. In their viewpoint, God IS the playing field in which the script of the universe is being played. Quite possibly it is turtles all the way down. To some sub atomic particles in our bodies, their viewpoint would be analogous to us and our relationship to the universe. Huge, vast, empty spaces inbetween everything, that we just can't see how everything is put together, yet the owner of the body doesn't have to worry about some sub atomic particle escaping. You know, they're kept in check by the laws of nature :) Of course, we base our laws on physical phenomenon, and as such, they are just descriptors of symptoms that we are capable of perceiving.

    Except that the religious scientific fanatics claim that it means god doesn't exist. Then again, those are the ones who usually know nothing about science. Just like religious church fanatics claim that science has no place and god is some humanoid in the sky, and those are the ones that usually know nothing about spirituality. Every camp has it's share of ignorance and ignorant people. Unfortunately, both camps seem to lack quality enlightened people.

  21. Re:Missing the point on Where Do the Laws of Nature Come From? · · Score: 1

    spirituality's answer of course, is that if you understand the Whole, all the parts make sense. Which they do. Science might make a lot more interesting discoveries if they kept in mind 'as above, so below'. Science just disagrees, because they are right sided and think dividing everything is the only way. Tell me, are you a right sided person, or a left? Do you choose your friends because of their individual details, how tall they are, weight, education, pedigree, or do you choose them because you 'hit it off'? Subjectively we have a tendency to be left sided. Because of science's focus on division we are becoming more right sided in our dealings with other humans, hence the explosion in autism. Autism is just not being able to see the forest for the trees. The more focused, and smaller your viewpoint, the more you treat others like collections of data and functions and not as human objects. Haha, i know, i used to be autistic.

    You have to modify that to the catholic church man in the sky. There is nothing in jesus' teachings that imply a man in the sky. That's what the church concocted to force their drivel down the average man's throat. Most of it all goes down to how it was translated.

    lonely only in the social context. People have been playing in the social construct all their lives. Removing oneself from the social construct to confront reality is like taking away a baby's security blanket. Life is infinitely more exhilirating because everything is new and you don't have to fight the conflict between the truth you know inside (like killing =bad) and the direction of the social construct (same as the crickets, try to eat those ahead/above of you, and don't get eaten by the ones behind/underneath you.

  25. Re:Smarter than ants on The Rules of the Swarm · · Score: 1

    Yes, the fact that we spend thousands of years debating things without coming to conclusions certainly says somethings about humans. Ants won't let one ant destroy the whole colony. Humans on the other hand are stupid. We see one country trying to destroy the world and the most action we can come up with is to discuss it. Fat chance the world as we know it will still be here by the time all the 'smart' humans have finished discussing the issue. Discussing free will and exercising it are two very seperate things. Notice also that while everybody discusses things like, i dunno, impeachment for war crimes, we blindly keep marching in the same direction allowing Joe stupid to commit more crimes against humanity.

    It's time for everybody to start taking responsability for themselves. Bunch of fricken sheeple.
