  1. Are you refering to Logotherapy?
  2. But it was for Padme' :'(
  3. Have you ever read A Mans Search For Meaning by Victor Frankl? Its a great read. Basically it talks about how most suffering is because of a lack of meaning to it. if you add meaning then the suffering is bearable. It gives many examples. It also states that man has control of himself. The situation doesn't control the man. He was a psychologist and a neurologist. He was in concentration camps to, the concentration camps were a big influence on this book. His study is called Logotherapy.
  4. Don't hide your true feelings! :'(
  5. Burn! I think Gabrielle needs a hug! :D
  6. 24 right? Happy b day man! :cool:
  7. Heads up Child of Flame You can look at this in two ways: the glass is half full, or half empty. Everymind is uniqe because each one creates a different view on reality, we see what we want in a way. We believe what we want. It comes with our freedom we have to choose whatever we want. So we are condemned to be free, is that such a bad thing? Maybe our viewpoints on our beliefs was meant to be our own. Everybodies belief should be their own uniqe reality. It sounds to me you discovered your very own world, and took one step inside of your world. You can make the most of it, or you can run from it. Whatever you do to it is your choice, you can make it rich, or desolate.
  8. Yes, but it also seems as though the Sith were involved somehow no matter what. They didn't complete how the Sith were involved, thats how i felt. How come we couldn't find anything in the Sith embassy about Jolees Friend?
  9. I don't see why not, its just as racey on Mtv. I think its ridiculous that a womans body is taboo in the first place.
  10. Penelope
  11. I don't, even after reading the article, understand the significance of that blurb <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought it was great that a republican was questioning the war. even further intresting is that The US President Thinks its unpatriotic to question war. I really liked the trickery that reporter used with the president. It was a lose lose question for him, but that was his own fault, Bush put himself in that position.
  12. OK, lets get back on topic. After Jesus ressurected word got around. A skeptical man named Thomas didn't believe this resurection occured, he said that he would have to pick at his nail holes to believe Jesus has ressurected. Thus this man is dubbed Thomas the Doubter. He had no faith. Jesus says your not suppose to believe God out of Reason, but out of faith. Kierkagaard put it beautifully when he said "Christianity can only be based on faith because it is a paradox. we can't believe by virtue of reason. I think you have to suspend reason for something higher in christianities case." For those Christians that believe in intelligent design out of reasoning: Is it incorrect, and hypocriticle to your/their belief?
  13. Growing dissent over US Iraq policy
  14. Your Type is INTJ Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging Strength of the preferences % 44 62 25 33
  15. Frankly, these debates hurt scientists. THey waste their time with unscientific methods. Once in awhile another scientist who believes in ID will come up with something good look irreducible complexity, but then it gets solved then thats it, until the next scientific debate of REAL science. These public debates are consuming scientists. Just like how the presidential debates were consumed by gay marriage. Is it really that important that we should pick our president by if he hates gays or not? Theres a war going on! We get so hung up on these small domestic issues that we forget to look at the big picture.
  16. Wouldnt mind an example/explanation of the third one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well there is a general misconception with creationist because they say that a genetic mutation of new information isn't proven, and does not happen. its a kind of trick question. Basically new information is how we evolveld new frontal lobes or other working parts. it doesn't include virus' where they just became stronger, that could jsut be old information(genetic code repated to make it stronger). they want added NEW information not added OLD information added. Heres a few examples of a genetic increase in information - Nylon Bug, Drosophila sperm axoneme, sodium channel gene SCN11A, Adaptive evolution of a duplicated pancreatic ribonuclease gene in a leaf-eating monkey,evolution of a hominoid gene that supports high neurotransmitter flux. here are some examples of a genetic increase of information. Many Creation websites do not even clearly define precisely what they mean by "evolution has no genetic increase of new information", they keep on setting the boundary farther and farther as scientists breakthrough their old standards of what information increase is.
  17. As a scientist, you really don't have to think creationism is true. Just that it might be probable, Its always probable, even if proven not to be true. Because we do not know everything about everything, that is impossible. So we must gather all our knoweldge on this topic and make out best guess from there. Science needs emperical evidence to judge by. If it does not then its at a dead end till it does have empirical evidence. Intelligent design gives no positive empirical proof, or even a method to how the designer mechanically works. Now moose mentions logic. Science does use logic, but it has to be able to prove logic is not based on a false premise. Logic can be correct, and based on a false premise at the same time. All logic does is makes rational leaps of faith that makes sense. logic does not prove leaps. A big problem that keeps coming back is repeated flase evidence against evolution that has already been proven false. examples - Irreducible complexity, second law of thermodynamics, adding new information to mutation. (if you want me to explain these ideas, and how they are false i will) These keep poping up in debates to try and stump the average joe who defends evolution. These ideas against evolution have already been proven false. Last but not least, proving evolution wrong doesn't make ID right. Lets not make ID the theory that Evolution is wrong. I have nothing against ID, except when it confuses young teens, and how science really works. Science is our greatest rational tool to explain the natural world so far. If ID helps people understand their world, that great. Science is not just a means to explain, but also a career choice. If we teach our kids that ID is science, then this may show how incompetant we as scientists are.
  18. I do not believe it is. All irreducible complexity is, is a logical falicy. Basically Irreducible Complexity is saying that certain animals have parts that can't be reduced. If those parts are reduced they no longer work, so how would they evolve those parts if they didn't help them species survive? Simple, Perhaps it was a greater more complex part, that later simplified into just the few parts that have today. The parts are fewer so they are more efficient on energy, thus a benefit.
  19. Good times, good times. Thanks got pointing that out, next time, ill use that against you. ........Fascist!
  20. Perhaps, Or they believe we don't understand Christianity/faith.
  21. I believe Christianity can only be based on faith because it is a paradox. we can't believe by virtue of reason. I think you have to suspend reason for something higher in christianities case.
  22. It seems Intelligents only "positive proof" is how obviously complex everything is. I believe its called specified Complexity. Its so complicated and complex how could it have happened naturally? It has to be done with an intelligent being backing it. Webpage Specified Complexity doesn't point to a designer still. It just points out we are complex. I disagree with it.
  23. Yes i use Mcaffe security center also. I also use Lavasoft Ad-Aware to get rid of spyware.
  24. No, you and Eldar are incorrect with how communism starts. Communism doesn't start by someone reading Karl Marx and saying"What a great idea, lets start it" And then grab their guns. Communism is a a process that takes time. Its the realization of the proletariat that they are being exploited. And as they realize they will vote for more social programs to benefit themselves. The proletariat will realize their chains and wake up from them gradually. It doesn't just get voted in suddenly, or even started by a violent revolution. Its a gradual process of social reform untll we have comunism. It takes a great education system, and a big heart. Give up hope if you like. But i will not. I am a commie.
  25. I completely misread your point, i apologize dude. Still, I don't see the point in thanking America for what i don't have. I don't expect things to be handed over for nothing. I do pay my taxes, and those taxes are partially going to the poor for their healthcare, And also the senior citizens. How is it that they can get healthcare, yet someone like me cannot unless i pay a substantial amount to where i literally cannot eat? Whats even worse is children that can't get coverage. I know a family without healthcare who are afraid to let their children ride their bikes. Things should be distributed more evenly. Why does the working class man have to carry the burden on him?
