Hmmmmmm.

It's not really about facts, buy more about the somewhat contradictory statement.

Something either increases, decreases or stays the same.

Yes, meat, especially sausages are best stored at about 4 degrees, in a sealed bag to avoid contaminating the passion fruit.

Always employ safe sacks.

Intelligence evolves and I would suggest that AI will evolve rapidly.

And people who perceive demons are people who perceive demons...A sort of, self fulfilling legacy.

Arguing is as arguing does.

A trite comment perhaps, but in this instance I think sums up the inevitable differences that will arise in 8 billion individually programmed organic units.

Even if there were a perfect programme, would all units be perfectly programmable?

I think that some men think that some women think that they are perfect.

I similarly think that some women  think that some men think that they are perfect.


From experience, I think that there are very few days when we feel perfect.

Though what actually constitutes human perfection, I do not know.

Thanks for the information.


Swings and roundabouts.

And then the helter-skelter.


I think that an influx of migrant workers is perhaps a contributory factor. They have a lesser regard for cigarette and dietary health warnings, and exercise little.

I also think that there has been a decline in the efficiency of health services.

There are a raft of other possible contributory factors.


Though I would suggest that an overall decrease and a slower increase are somewhat contradictory.

And beyond 80 in reasonable condition is a tough call...Beyond 83, even tougher...Beyond that................

Yes, we are an organism driven by A. Encoded instructions, but we also have B. A highly developed mind.

The ensuing conflict between A and B, is sometimes hard to reconcile.

Religion doesn't need anyone to make it look literally stupid.

It is stupid by it's own definition...Stupid was your choice of descriptive, by the way.

I would perhaps say, literally incoherent relative to developed intellect and consequent understanding...In short, outdated.

Which isn't to say that analogous Mangod hypotheses were not reasonable as basic representations of the unknown factors that facilitated creation and existence.


And I am intellectually capable of grasping more than one idea at a time, just as you should be.

How we respond to ideology, really just depends upon how we have been conditioned to respond.


As for spirit:

Well, such reactions are what one wants them to be.

And so they should be.


And in the end, who knows.

Neither you nor I, that's for sure.


So we use a Forum to occasionally poke each other in the ribs.

Which is beneficial entertainment and brain exercise.

None of which either proves or disproves Mangod theory, or any other creation and existence hypothesis.

So let's just enjoy the process while we can.

Good metric.


You seemingly find angst inspirational.

I guess I did once.

I put it down to hormones.

As I've aged, things have got fluffier.


Though the bottom line is,  existence necessitates doing something...Could be A, could be B.

And when one reaches fluffy age, one tends to realise that lifestyle A  was probably a better option than lifestyle B.


Nonetheless, good metric.

Which will no doubt resonate with angst ridden youth.

Wherein lies the conspiracy when an old man is diagnosed with prostate cancer?

Though, I still think that Donald is an extra-terrestrial super carrot, employed by the Jews, in order to perpetuate the ongoing spheroidal Earth misinformation, thereby concealing the fact that bigfoot, who are responsible for Earth's rotational mechanism, which is failing,  live on the other side and only come this side to play in the snowy forests of America.

Are Bigfeet the plural of Bigfoot...I believe that there is an ongoing lexicographical conspiracy surrounding this information, and that if we fully understood the correct plurality of Bigfoot we would be able to live forever, and the Jews along with Donald super-carrot are conspiring to make humans die unnecessarily from prostate cancer or similar.

Not sure that this makes sense.

Approval method and rank choice election systems r way better than our current system
-->
@n8nrgim
Once a popular vote is corrupted by contrived systems, it becomes a corrupted vote.


In the main, "Western" democracies rely upon the acquired sensibilities of the populace, and voting is something of a intermittent method of government regulation.

That is why, as yet, I have never voted in British parliamentary elections...Because as yet, voting makes no significant difference to how things get done.

Just different folk with similar bright ideas.

Well for sure, we can apply ancient mystery and magic to ancient myths...That's an easy peasy explanation that does not require any qualification.

It's more feasible to suggest that back in the day life spans were measured in lunar cycles, which would make Noah about 48 in solar years.

And I'm not sure what you mean by nasties, but microbes, bacteria in particular, are essential to our existence...It's just that some are not and are best avoided...But a tad hard to dodge

And before the advent of immunisation and antibiotics, viruses and unbeneficial bacteria were common killers.

And unless you're an accepter of Christian creationist baloney, you will be aware that single celled life forms are probably the precursors of all higher life forms, and so were inevitably around in ancient Mesopotamia...As probably was, multi orifice experimentation.

It's sort of hypocritical is it not, for a pro-mortalist to pro-actively not be pro-actively pro-mortal?

Though I think that if we categorise offbeat's in a nutter scale of 1 to 10...Then deluded pro-mortalist's are probably up around the 10 mark.

Typically, you take things rather too PC.

No one is encouraging suicide.

Just pointing out the obvious contradiction in the pro-motalists ideology.

It's rather like pro-lifers killing abortion clinic employees.

Dumbass people...(Largely inspired by religious baloney and encouraged by zealots)


In my opinion.

Religion is an embellished concept, managed internally, same as everything else you do is managed internally. 

All require the same management processes.

Thinking otherwise is a delusion, which is just another example of an internally managed and perceived, process and outcome.

What isn't the same as what?

In general terms, internal responses to sensory stimuli, whether positive or negatively perceived, will be similarly produced.

I certainly don't claim to be a biochemist though, so I cannot explain the precise chemical make up of every reaction.

Spirituality, simply describes one such reaction, though some people like to think of it as some sort of divine intervention...Perhaps this is what you are alluding to.

I don't disagree that the tale might be based upon real events , and Mesopotamia is a good place for a  localised flood.

And a guy, perhaps named Noah, perhaps rescued some farm animals in his boat.

Though I doubt that he was 600 years of age...I think that was just another wee exaggeration on the part of storytellers.
