Isn't the U.S.A. a N.A.U?

And why would a nice country like Canada even consider such retrograde move?

And if Greenland were to gain full independence from Denmark, why would they suddenly think that it would be a good idea to give all their territory and natural resources away to the U.S.A?

All smells of Empiricism to me!

And furthermore the U.S. needs hard working Mexicans. Who's going to do all the donkey work otherwise?

Trouble is; all this fasting, temperance and resisting of passion nonsense is human derived ritualistic stuff.

If there were an omni-sensible God  it would be far to rational to really appreciate it.

It would probably, respectfully patronise your efforts, but chuckle to itself when it new you weren't looking.

Reality of faith versus concieved notion. answer? Testimony
-->
@Melcharaz
Faith is a conceived notion.
As is testimony.

It's all a process of acquiring, storing, assimilating and regurgitating data.
A completely internal function rather than an external function.

As such, one persons conclusions or assumptions will never be quite the same as another's.
Especially when one considers the highly variable circumstances which may overbear an individuals formative conditioning.

abortion is murder
-->
@Mharman
Murder:
The unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought.

Therefore abortion is or isn't murder, only if all the necessary criteria are fulfilled or not.

Therefore; your emphatic proposition "abortion is murder" cannot be readily substantiated.

We can never really know anything

@Mopac
@TheRealNihilist
What is knowledge?

In simple terms and as far as we know, knowledge is uniquely a human thing. (Ok. Other Earth species may also possess the ability to store and utilise data)

Therefore human knowledge is human knowledge and consequently what we know is what we know.

What actually is there to judge the credibility of our knowledge?

As current knowledge stands and no matter how much some people might protest to the contrary; Gods and Aliens and Ultimate Realities are just assumptions and cannot actually be known and therefore remain incredible.

Is liposuction worth it?
-->
@alluremedspa123
Who or what defines a natural looking body?

What you're referring to is not a natural physique, but a physique that is generally regarded as being more aesthetically acceptable.

As things actually are, all body shapes develop naturally.

I would suggest that given the circumstances, liposuction is probably about as unnatural as things can get

@3RU7AL
Digging up a 17th century Philosopher and attempting to confound with definition and gobbledygook, doesn't prove a sausage.

And I agree with the notion that ultimate reality is 0. If a God existed it would have been 1.

We are still as reliant as we ever were, upon magic for the ultimate answer to the ultimate question.

So go ahead, emphatically prove the unprovable. I Shouldn't have to ask questions if the proof is so unequivocal.

I will live as long as I do, with the same opinion.  Unless the Big Guy should happen to stick his out head from behind the cloud that he's hiding behind and politely introduce himself.

Which is what one would expect an omni-sensible God to do.

As it stands I'm pretty confident that the Kingdom of God exists only as brain data, which will dissipate upon death. You've been led to confidently believe otherwise, which is just fine and dandy.

Of course, we end up as ever with the same old, same old. You cannot prove the unprovable and I cannot disprove the unprovable. No matter how much we might rant and rave.

LOL.

The Kingdom of God is in some peoples heads.

In fact the notion of a Kingdom of God is probably in most peoples heads, given the free flow of associated information.

Though he level of importance attributed to the notion of a Kingdom of God varies considerably, depending mostly on the intensity of our formative conditioning. (Childhood brainwashing).

Black/ White.

As ever the argument is not ostensibly about Race, but about perceived differences and consequent paranoia, mostly relative to skin tone. Which is somewhat rich coming from such a young Nation that was founded on immigration and multi-culturalism.

A German President with a Slovenian wife, who was previously married to a Czech woman. Just about sums up fair skinned hypocrisy and paranoia.

The thing is:

The majority of Inactive greedy people are suitably educated, to be able to understand that they are living inactive and greedy lives.

They have a similar understanding of the difference between a healthy diet and an unhealthy diet.

Yet they make little or no effort to address their problems.

I cant see much point in sucking out the fat one end, if they are only going to continue sitting around  shovelling crap into the other.

Greedy lazy fat people is greedy lazy fat people and that's their problem.

You picked an inaccurate number and attempted to imply a significant relationship between that inaccurate number and one particular set of body parts. By pointing out that we have 33 vertebrae I was simply expounding the tenuous nature of your claim.

I know perfectly well what circles and polygons are. I was merely questioning the implied relationship between them.

"As for rounded off truth".  Well; perhaps you really should have taken up the flute 20 years ago.

Dr Franklin is correct.
A simple inaccuracy. Casually overlooked.

Known geometry is what it is and has been known for a few thousand years longer than twenty.

Circles/Polygons?

20 years wasted maybe. Perhaps you should have taken up the flute.

1. State managed breeding programmes. A.I. using accredited sperm donors, screened and selected for their non aggressive and unselfish temperament. 

2. Efficient State run Brothels, eliminates all your highlighted problems. Though; option 1 is preferable, as option 1 negates the need for option 2.

Option 1 allows for the creation of a single homogenised World species. Which would eradicate racial intolerance and national conflicts. 

Of course it would help if we could also eradicate the other two major stumbling blocks that prevent global peace and stability. Money and Religion.

Or more appropriately; Selfishness and Stupidity.

The Economy and Marriage
Marriage is archaic nonsense. Reinvented and remarketed. Give us your money and we will give you back, absolutely nothing at the end of the day.

Birth - Life - Death and a bit of procreation: This can all be achieved without marriage.

Financial stability can also be achieved with or without marriage.

The benefit of no marriage, is no divorce when you've had enough.

@mustardness
Huh?

There is 0 (2D), or there is spatial potential (3D). Simple.
The question is how do you get from one state to another.

And the answer is, no one knows. Not even the "ego" that is mustardness.
No amount of their pseudo-scientific symbolism and jargonism gets close.

An oscillating universal sequence negates the infinite. Thereby allowing an instantaneous finality and re-initiation, ergo zero is momentarily achieved.
1-0-1. A simple and logical hypothesis that can explain a zero state, within a sequence.

Nonetheless 0-1 is the sticking point.
Primary initiation. Something from nothing?

Theism always starts at 1.  Atheism simply says that this is not good enough. Ergo I am an Atheist.

@mustardness
2D = 0 

3D= Unlimited Potential.

Occupied Space is limited to Total Mass Potential. Ergo Expansive Infinite is negated. (Though, in no way necessarily relative to 3D spatial potential)

Regressed infinity becomes implausible. Ergo Total Mass at 2D State can only be temporary. (Given the accrued energy at fractional collapse events).

Ergo Universal oscillation = 101010101

Nonetheless we still rely upon primary magic for both God and creation and also presumably for extirpation.

One could go up a mountain and decide to believe anything.

This was all, simply a conscious manipulation of acquired and stored data relative to external stimuli.

You are probably just a highly susceptible and easily influenced person.

The Bible is clearly a Mythology.

The "Flood" is possibly an inclusion relative to an extensive reginal flood event. Though, the "Noah Story" is totally illogical and therefore a fanciful embellishment.

And you assume that you are a Christian, because you were taught to assume that you are a Christian.

And as hypotheses go, Christianity like it's Sister and Brother Religions are absurdly "pissing" into the wind.

"It" is data processing.

All function is reliant upon data processing. Both consciously and subconsciously.

Can "free will" be anything other than independently formulating an independent thought, from acquired and stored data?

How freely we acquire data is a more questionable subject. Especially as we have no control whatsoever over how we acquire our genetic information.
