The Peon

Awsome info Helix, thats what I was interested in. And good question Mattbimbo, I too would like to know the answer to that. Im assuming its similar, given people greive and all over a dead pet. Perhaps every time we pet our cat or dog oxytocin is released. But it has to go beyond mere touching, cause some people can even feel sad over a fish death which is never touched.

27 year old male, anti-abortion. Too much of ones personality is coded in DNA before you are even born to even think about abortion in my opinion... thus I think its murder to abort even a 1 day old pregnancy.

Do you have Java installed properly?

Good question... I will have to see if I have it set up properly. Damn... Need to reset comp to see if this works.

Edit: Bah still no luck... wtf... Any ideas how to get this to work?

DING! Got it.

Is the chat room dead? I only see a blank box when I try to get it running...

I am Asian

And I am half caucasian and believe I possess neanderthalic genes. I would go into detail but you might think im insane (which is highly likely).

Generally' date=' even if we are not attracted to someone, we can tell they are attractive due to simple things like a symmetrical face, good hip to waist ratio etc which all indicate that the person has good qualities from an evolutionary point of view, to pass on your genes. e.g. women with perfect hour glass figures have the best bodies for child birth.

 

Why we are instantly drawn to certain people is a little bit more complicated and still isn't completly understood. I think the main part of it, is that we all unnconsciencely look for certain qualities through peoples face and body language that maches our own, which is why when looking at couples, more often then not they have very similar facial features.

 

As well as this, apparantly we are all attracted to people who look like our parents and who have pheremones most similar to our mothers. I can't think why though.[/quote']

 

Maybe its a selfish trait, like since you are you (and of course an awsome human), and your mother made you, clearly she is a perfect type woman? To be honest, I dont think its always the case though at least physically. My mother is very caucasian looking, and I tend to like darker skinned ladies more. Not to mention, she has a petite body and I like thicker women. I dont know.. maybe im a freak of nature.

 

BTW I've been doing some research and found that the chemical makeup of being "in love" is strikingly similar to OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Although this makes sense in retrospect, its kinda scary. That would explain why people do stupid #@_) when in love, and can even be pretty scary in some of the actions performed. So basically love is a chemical imbalance in the brain itself. Of course this doesnt explain why it occurs in certain instances, but it certainly explains why we feel the way we do when we do feel it.

 

By the way, off topic, Transdecimal your head looks like it holds an astonishingly large amount of brain matter.. if that is your real pic. Daaaaaamn. LOL

I remember reading once that you dont need to brush directly after meals to benefit... That the flouride protects for up to 12 hours, and that as long as you keep the "window" of flouride active, your teeth will be healthy.

fun game isn't it... i'm sure i spotted a homo erectus once.

o_0 I think some scientists believe asians possess erectus genetic legacy, although Im not too sure about that.. im much more convinced on the whole neanderthal thing though. Ginger gene bearers get me all fuzzy inside.

Well' date=' mice or shrew-like critters, but neither directly.

 

I think it's more an insult for the pigs to say we're related to them [/quote']

 

Self loathing are we?

 

I was actually fascinated when I finally believed in evolution from my judeo/christian origins. I remember clearly walking around and thinking of everyone as walking primates. I know it sounds all redundant to you but at the time it was very novel to me. I still to this day try to pick out who I think shares neanderthal genes and so forth and so on...

LMAO at this thread!

Most stupid thing I ever did: Get married at 20 years old.

Wisest thing I ever did: Learn from my divorce 4 years later how to really treat a lady.

Ok more stupid stuff:

a> Sister pissed me off, locked herself in a car. I decided to punch through the window... it worked, much to my knuckles dismay (and many stiches later, my dismay).

b> Decided to jump a barb-wire fence. Upon going over my foot got cought in the barb wire and I was hanging by my skin.

c> When I was 8 years old, I decided to use a machete my grandfather had as an "indiana jones" toy. Well I wound up almost cutting off my left hand.

d> Deciding to go down a water slide into deep water without knowing how to swim when I was about 5 years old.

e> Driving a stolen car into a tree at 60 mph to see "what an accident was like." I was 14.

Many more but they are even more embarassing.

no it was not just a halucination. she was real. i know this because she told me a story that i could NOT HAVE POSSIBLY known before she told it to me' date=' and afterwards i asked my parents about it and they said it was true and were amazed to hear it.

 

so you can't just say it was a halucination because otherwise how could i know the story she told me?[/quote']

 

I really think you need to lay off the methamphetamines. It's destroying your brain tissue, among other things.

I guess the part of my question that remains unanswered is, why when we see a so so girl do we suddenly feel a crush towards her, while when we witness a stunning girl it may be a momentary attraction but then it goes away. Why are we "drawn" towards certain individuals while we brush off others who are just as attractive if not more so? Is love possibly more of a concious decision than we realize? Is some hidden smell involved? I mean whats the deal?

I'm sure thats a mathematical error of hers rather than generosity.

LMFAO!!!!!

Cameran Diaz was the biggest bitch of them all. She was with Justin Timberlake at the time, and she went to use the bathroom. Well when she returned I did not recognize her (she is very ugly in real life) and I held my arm out. Well instead of telling me who she is, she starting walking into my arm as if somehow it wasnt there. Well she did this for about 15 seconds until her personal bodyguard realized what I was doing and whispered in my ear who she was. What a skank...

Check my sig. Plus I added another awsome one I found in this thread.

Ooo dear... well I used to be a bouncer at an A-list club in Miami... A few off hand:

Mike Tyson

Carmen Electra

Britney Spears

Justin Timberlake

Cameron Diaz

Wayens bros (all 7-8 however many there are)

Martin Lawrence

P Diddy (came by often, almost weekly)

Ugh... you meet so many celebrities it becomes a norm, actually a pain in the ass because you have to go out of your way to "watch" them when 400 people are in the club, and you only have 12 bouncers. Its stupid and a waste of manpower. But yea, its exciting at first. BTW out of all the celebs I ever met, believe it or not but Britney Spears is the biggest tipper. She dumped 5,000$ tip on the staff one night...

A natural part of greiving is to try and "reach out" to a dead loved one, and I believe this is merely your brain trying to do so. Im not trying to make you feel bad in saying you "imagined" the whole incident, but given the strong hellucinigenic effects of LSD and the known psychological process of greiving, it is highly likely that your mind was playing tricks on you.

As for a "spirit realm," if it did exist it would not be supernatural, but a natural process in the universe if im not mistaken. However, its highly unlikely that is true, since I believe we are inviduals not based on a spirit, but due to the physical makeup of our brains. Thus, the genetics you inherited, combined with enviromental stresses mixed with some free logical thinking on your own made you who you are, not some spirit. I can rip your heart or lungs out and you would survive for some brief instances before you died, but if I ripped your brain out you would be gone instantly.

I recently had a close friend die... and even with all the logical thinking and knowledge I have of these things, I still found myself wondering if he was here watching me... its a natural thing man. Anyway thats my 2 cents, but like most things in science, since it cannot be disproven you never really know.

First, its nice to return to these forums after a few months and still see so many familiar faces.

So my friend the other day told me his girl friend told him she "loved him but was not in love with him." This got me to thinking... what are the chemical and physical properties of love? What chemical process occurs when one sees someone and instantly feels a "crush" while he can look at a super model and be like, eh? How can someone feel attached, "love you," but not be "in love?" I remember reading some time ago about a chemical called oxytocin that causes one to feel attached through experiences, but im not sure if that all that is to it.

Before you go' date=' I *highly* recommaned Lamar's "Venomous Reptiles of the Western Hemisphere" as a guide for things not to touch. I'm positive that there are coral snakes down there (relatives of cobras) which don't obey the red-touches-yellow rule and can reach 6 feet long, along with some mimics. When in doubt, don't touch it.

 

Best of luck, and name a species after SFN!

 

Mokele[/quote']

 

 

If I find a lizard, I promise I will name it Mokelious Maximus

 

Thanks for the guide. I will look for it on Amazon or one of those. BTW, coral snakes DO exist in Honduras, I almost stepped on one when I was a teen and it would have killed me, given that the nearest hospital is 30 minutes away.

 

I was mostly interested in insect species, and a catalogue or listing of the current species known in Honduras/Central America would be nice. But I doubt such a thing exists. I thought you science guys had things better organized

I think this would be a horrible idea. Species have already radiated to fill all the niches these "removed" species have left (or are in the process of such). To reintroduce them would create havoc on the current ecosystem... IMO...

I think mammals got "lucky." Reptiles are truely masters of survival IMO.

If you are injecting steroids, I highly suggest you review the side effects of abuse first. An enlarged heart is no laughing matter, and it WILL happen if you use. I was interested in using when I was younger and working in the "security" field, but after seeing 2 people die on the message board I was reading about them, both kids under 30 years old, and from enlarged hearts I ran for my life.

If you insist on doing them, plenty of websites explain how to do intramascular injections. Just make sure you aspirate because a dose of roids in the bloodstream can be fatal. Please reconsider using, the short term benefits of being muscular do NOT outweigh the long term health effects.

Also read about M-theory.

I was in a cradle or small bed of some sort, and I remember looking up and being fascinated with a pine cone my mother had on her fireplace shelf. I must have been under 4 years old (we sold that house at that time), and I am figuring I was about 1-2 years old. Funny thing is I have a black period from the time I was around 5 to around 10 years old where I cant remember anything at all.

I thought string had 11 dimensions and one of those dimensions was time?

Nice tips. I will review that website now. Thanks for your contribution!
