The question is, why do I care? Why do I waste my energy like this? It is hurting me. I am doing it to myself. The one redeeming feature is that just one time, when someone says "you did it to yourself", I actually did to it to myself. I can't stand to smoke tobacco or use alcohol. Just to maintain any congruency with reality, I actually have to do something to myself and this has to be it because there's nothing else that I can do except overeat.

That's fine. I'm beginning to like your delusions better than mine, anyway.

Don't know, don't care. If you need me as a friend you need a life.

 

If you want to expand on that' date=' I think it should be in a new thread.[/quote']

 

But I don't want to expand on that.

Let's put it another way. I'm tired of talking and I can't stop running my mouth right now. As best I can, I should wind it down and find some way to let myself let the world go to hell without my input. The only use that this world has had for my input was so that people could listen, then turn around and use it as an excuse to hurt and destroy me. This is hopefully the last day that I ever say anything intelligent to anyone.

It's your decision about whether you want to go into this knowing something, or if you just want to be a tool for people who won't let you understand what you are actually doing. I don't actually care which one. I'm just saying.

but if you build one capable of doing the work a human can do, you'll find it would be alot cheaper. also cutting off large chunks of asteroid and then bringing it back to a ship would be extremely difficult for a human

Microgravity?

Yeah that works if you're superman' date=' infiltrating the ring of corrupt cops. That way when they try to shoot you in the back at a stakeout, the bullets bounce off.

 

Just ask John Kennedy how effective that is.

Dealey Plaza

It's not even that. I'm not afraid of the bullets. People can usually kill you with anywhere between one bullet and however many they use to make sure, so there is little to be afraid of. What I am afraid of is this pattern of deliberate degradation in which people persuade you, a little bit at a time, to become more and more rotten inside.

A simple answer that seems to explain everything is preferable to "I don't know" or "Stuff happens" even if the answer is wrong. Some people just want to believe, and they'll latch on to the first semi-plausible explanation. And once you have invested yourself in a belief like that, it becomes a hole from which it is harder and harder to escape. It starts to define who you are.

That's exactly what happened with AIDS.

i believe you all told me that becoming a police officer (or something of that sort) would do nothing and wouldn't help the situation.

 

however' date=' the more non-corrupt officers we have, the less the corrupt ones affect people, right? so if i am a non-corrupt officer and i do my job well and try to stop the corruption, i would be doing a LOT of good.

 

so why is it that i "wouldn't help" anything?

 

and what exactly is this prescribed medicine supposed to be?[/quote']

 

Even being a non-corrupt police officer won't help the situation. The theory that you can force better behavior out of poeple is itself corrupt. People just take it underground and threaten their victims into silence. Since it really isn't about overt sexual acts, there is more than one way to take it underground. No matter what you do, you will be unable to have any real effect on the abuse that goes on that generates more and more child molesters. You will even contribute to that abuse as part of your job. The harder you work the worse it will get. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to change it for the better.

Robots don't need air, food, or water, but we have spacesuits that work and vehicles that can maintain human lives for extended periods. We don't have robots that can do the work that humans can do.

Those ARE mental health medications whether they are real or not. Right now I'd love to have some of those colored pills except they make me feel like I put my head in a lemon squeezer. I want to forget that I ever opened my mouth about anything.

African people do not hump each other all the time like "jungle bunnies" and the AIDS cocktail is murder.

For a medication, I am going to see if I can find either the lotus flower or the waters of Lethe. Then I am going to see how much of it I can imbibe in one sitting without stopping my heart.

Never mind. I'm just going to go get some medication prescribed and become a good little drone.

Wouldn't it cost less to build better spacesuits than remote-controlled robots that can do mining?

Right-oh. but its not. thusly' date=' does the burden of proof lie on you.

 

if you think that this should be commonly accepted knowledge, and if its as inportant to you as the time that you must have invested into your posts suggests that it is, then make the effort to find some valid [b']evidence[/b] to support your claim, so that we have to accept these 'facts-that-should-be-common-knowledge'.

 

 

 

so its ok to bed 16 year olds, unless your a policeman?

Actually, in some states in the US it is legal. I just like the fact that policemen can't get away with it either where it is illegal.

Call this insulting, and some will, but part of the uphill struggle here is the ignorance of a large portion of the population. By simply ignoring the corruption and stupidity of the law, and ignoring all evidence, they make someone like me work a lot harder. Then the mess is still not cleaned up and the audience has fun dumping on me from their high and mighty position of willful ignorance. Tell me how this situation is suitable for anything except for me to dump off my own emotional baggage.

Anyone who bothers to try to verify these statistics is dismissed as a nut anyway, so what's the use?

All better, BenSon. Look up.

The interesting thing is so many people ask us to "back up" what should be common knowledge. C'mon people, do something about that blind spot. It's an effort of will. It is not hardwired. At least, I don't think it's hardwired.

I just had a thought. At least when it is illegal to have sex with children, it is possible to have the police officer arrested who thought he could get away with bedding someone's 16 year old daughter.

Actually' date=' he has a strong point. Police not only manufacture statistics to increase their budgets, create 'scare tactics' to keep people afraid to criticise them, and even create crime itself, they cooperate with criminal organizations to perpetuate profit from crime.

 

For instance, while crime actually has decreased significantly in almost every area that has been statistically analyzed, police propaganda teams manufacture alarmist stories around budget times, and even abuse anomalous incidents to justify selfish expansion of powers and weaponry, as well as ridiculous increases in pay.

 

We have arrived at the point where ethically and morally, it is no longer possible to tell the cops from the criminals, given the widespread corruption and ideological perversion of policing as a profession.[/quote']

 

They do this to create a perception that things need to be policed when they don't need to be policed and no gains can be made by policing them, except a massive pain in the ass for those who are policed.

It simply isn't physically possible for Africans to be so much more sexually promiscuous than Europeans that they contract it by the millions while Europeans contract it in much smaller numbers. They do however drink each other's body wastes, which get into their water supplies. They suffer from the diseases of poverty and non-existent sanitation.

^ good point.

 

thomas' date=' you have yet to actually state what you think should happen. should we drop laws concerning sex offenses and rape? is that what you were saying?[/quote']

 

Yes, we should. As evidenced in this thread and in many places, we have managed to become dependent on such laws without requiring that the laws actually do anything for us. A painfully irony is that the more the laws fail, the more we ask for more laws and the more money we give those who have failed us. The laws have become worse than useless so it is already safe to discard them.

like "my blurry pictures are proof of ghosts"?

 

 

idk' date=' maybe sciforums[/quote']

 

Like, "my blurry pictures are proof of HIV disease."

The only evidence for HIV disease is a whole bunch of word games. Most of these word games are below the minimum level that a 12 year old child should be able to untangle.
