Actually it appears a preview it doesn't say "now playing: Paranormal Activity 4" it just shows it like a preview

In the new article it says it starts right off with a bloody body flying right at the screen. I dont think theres much they can do about that.

i have a gun, but people get all pissy when you handle it in sight. and its harder to get to, and being in the liberal northeast, its much harder to get one.

I agree with you, alcohol can reduce stress and pain, but it causes more problems than it fixes in my opinion, for example, liver and kidney problems, various cancers, and yes, while it CAN make you less stressed, it can also make you violent, dehydrated, emotionally vulnerable, and is also physically addictive, as well as psychologically addictive. Now, I'm not saying that weed isn't addictive, but it is far less so than caffeine, and a great deal less so than tobacco or alcohol, for example, addiction to weed is very much psychological in nature, as it relieves stress so well that if smoked regularly normal life becomes not only boring, but mildly irritating, however, to the best of my knowledge, there are no physical withdrawal symptoms when giving up weed. Plus, from what I've gathered, weed itself has no physical down sides, but the smoking of it does, which is why i suggested a vaporizer or cooking it if that was a worry. :)

Yeah. It's a pity that more people don't know about it.

And I fucked up here too.

You might feel that way, and decide to acquiesce, but I've never been one to take things lying down, and I simply don't think others should either.

yes anon we don't know why they/it exists

I have been an atheist, deist, theist, and agnostic at different times in my life. Not one of these things is anywhere near that simple.

This is reductio ad absurdem, condensing a position or point into such simplified terms as to render them ridiculous. It's a fallacy and no more correct than saying that "Christianity is the cannibalism of a zombie deity".

As a matter of curiosity, which did you find more satisfying to your beliefs? This is not meant as a sarcastic attack since I know funnyjunk isn't really known for having intellectual questions, just an honest curiosity.

I'm not sure. I'm in a sort of philosophical limbo at the moment. I'd like to believe there is a benevolent deity, but at the same time, I also know that there is little that I, or anything else can offer in the way of evidence for a deity that isn't emotional, anecdotal, or else logically flawed. I sometimes wonder, no, worry, that belief in a benevolent deity is but wishful thinking.

Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), Yeshua (Jesus Christ of Nazareth), Mohammed, Confucius (Lao Tze), and others, these people all likely existed, that's generally accepted. As to their connection to a divine, or whether their experiences were genuine, or even if their experiences were something else (states of altered consciousness, for example)... I have no bloody idea.

Actually I would just like to correct this in that the big bang didn't create everything, it just created hydrogen which through fusion in the core of stars and super novas slowly became everything.

I would further add that the Big Bang did not create hydrogen, merely that the event was the catalyst that allowed energy to solidify into matter, the simplest component of which is, hydrogen, as you correctly state.

Matter is simply concentrated energy, and the Big Bang event is believed to be the thing that converted some of this present energy into the matter we have today. Of course, this still leaves the question of where the energy came from.

Oh I know all the physics involved, I just didn't want to go too in depth lest I would have sounded like a pretentious ass.

Ah, well... I wasn't trying to be pretentious, just informative. Heck, you may have known but perhaps somebody else didn't, maybe they learned something... who knows.

I'm simply of the opinion that knowledge is to be shared.

I was not calling you pretentious as well, only that I didn't feel like writing an entire paragraph explaining it as I was lazy at the time. Sorry for any misunderstandings there.

No offense taken.

yes, but you're supposed to get more data, not put the guy you disagree with on the torture rack

My reply was poorly phrased, here is a modified version.

"Oh? That happened? When did that happen in regards to a Heliocentric model?"

If you look at it in a certain point of view it really is mutual. Astronomy for the Egyptians thought that when Pharaoh's die they go to the stars if I'm not mistaken. Not to mention the Geocentric theory was backed up by the church...

Geocentric theory was backed up by "Scientists" as well as the Church. When the Heliocentric theory was proposed, "Scientists", just as the Church disbelieved it at first, and for a while afterward. However, BOTH Scientists at large AND the Catholic Church, when enough evidence was presented, agreed that it was a more likely theory than a Geocentric one.

I suppose that could be it, your guess is as good as mine, maybe even a little better since my guess is just that the guy is a shithead.

And then you get to university and they take away your ti-89 and say use this shitty $10 casino. Have fun with them partial differentials.
