  1. Guns don't kill people, but people with guns...
  2. Since light and magnets are one in the same, the tr3b engine doesn't work.
  3. Karma, heaven and hell, for me, it works in two ways: 1. If one does something one knows to be wrong, one suffers because there's no more formidable judge than oneself, whereas if one does something one knows to be good, one gets a warm fuzzy feeling and a hit of dopamine. 2. If one understands the above one can relax, forgive and enjoy a beer; no need for revenge or a promise that points mean prizes when one's dead. Or a method of teaching.
  4. History would suggest otherwise... India, America, South Africa etc... Afganistan, for example, every nation that sought to subjugate them had more/better guns ...
  5. LOL, OK I concede that point. Well, history suggests more guns doesn't lead to victory...
  6. who knew crazy golf would have any real value?
  7. Good question, what happens if he tucks his arms in?
  8. LOL, you've gone from presenting a formula to talking bollox in a single page, kudos (but not in a good way).
  9. I was trying to be kind, we all know that positive emotions come with a (chemical) reward, but how does a negative emotion equal a reward?
  10. When are you going to share/show us that formula?
  11. Of course, they are. To realistically demonstrate all religions (with a God) are the same and equally invalid you must show why/how (a god is necessary) it's not just a misinterpretation of a written intention that has gone through (orders of magnitude) Chinese whispers. For instance, Hank may have been true to his word but Carl fucked it up because he wanted his arse kissed too, and that's just 1 degree of separation.

    about humour

    Ah yes, the70's.
  13. The subsequent posts provide context.
  14. Perhaps Prometheus can intercede on the Buddhist system of thought in regards to Karma. My personal understanding of Karma is far less spiritual. For me, it works in two ways: 1. If one does something one knows to be wrong, one suffers because there's no more formidable judge than oneself, whereas if one does something one knows to be good, one gets a warm fuzzy feeling and a hit of dopamine. 2. If one understands the above one can relax, forgive and enjoy a beer; no need for revenge or a promise that points mean prizes when one's dead.
