Guys Wife Crying After Watching Return of the Jedi
like surly if you know something is fictoinal evan if a film is sad the moment it stops you can be like oh well its fictional done , I guess the theeme could be something you find emotional but even then crying about it for a substatail length after the film seems a bit strange.
would be intresting to see how emotoinal this woman is at real world things.
Branson unveils most expensive toy ever
so I wouldn't look at him and just because he is rich think oh he is a genouse in ritchards case his parents and there suport will have given him a fundamental boost that manny people with the same ablity would not have had.
also Wealth is not the best gauge of a person , In lots of cases to make large amounts of money you have to forget ethics and be a cunt , pissing on and exploiting many people.
I don't know him as a person , im just saying that Making "Alot" of mony is is chance based. I think if your not stupid , through hard work and skill could earn 150K year after 15 years of trying im specificly talking about the super rich that have 10 milloin +

surly the only way something can Cuse a human to do anything is by motivating them to do it ,
there for anything that motivates a human to do something was the thing that caused that something to happen?

>>thinker247 you cannot throw a godwin's grenade into a conversation on purpose. To do so can risk fracturing the entire internet. believe me its scientificy proven with no evidence.
Don't be silly, westy. The only known way to destroy the Internet so far is to type Google into Google.
Some extrapolated that typing Bing into Bing might do the same, but all they got was a BSOD.
I'm sorry but I don't believe you I only believe things that are scentifcly proven with no evidence.
Atheist comes out of the Closet
I think the anger with most people (Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc...) is that their really is no reason why not to believe in God. People need proof of a lot of things. I for one believe in God, but don't take the bible literally. I mean, obviously something created the universal. Something caused the big bang. We evolved and so did many creatures, something kept us moving. Point being, I think the mother in the video be it fake or not, is that the reason is why not believe. I can live my whole life, and when I die I find out that God or heaven or whatever is not real. It would not be a waste, because it at least comforted me at times when I needed it, and made me stronger then most that have nothing or feel there is nothing helping them. Everything just seems to fit perfectly, let it be science, or an answer, but their will never be answer to what created everything (especially an atom).
The primary reason why not to believe is WHY BELIEVE IN ANYTHING THAT HAS NO SUPPORTING EVIDENCE at best its a waist of time at worse its dangerous due to people then believing aditoinal things that's attached to that fictional thing that could or could not exists.
why not believe in invisible pink elephants that you cannot see BUT THEY DO EXIST because I read it in a book. also they watch you to make sure you are good and if you are bad then they trample on you when you die. the pink elephants also trample on you if you masturbate or if you don't cut off the skin on the end of your penis. they also trample on you and give you cancer if you talk about them in a negative way.
Now if i write that down into a 300 page book and then hide it in a cave for 2k years whalst spreding it as an idea , im sure manny people could take it serouse in the future if i replaced pink eliphant for almighty gods that created the world. I mean look at Scientology and how that has spred to some exstent despite the fact its blatently obsurd.
I have written down some other points for you to consider
1) granted annything could have created the universe or it could have always existed.
2) even if it was created by a intelligent entity that would not be "god" as described by the major religions.
3) the god of the major religoins is one tha knows you cares what you do and judges you
4) all the information you have on that god is assertaind from a book that was most probably written by
people
5) when you are chooseing a god you are realy choosing which book do you think is most likely "real"
6) there is no way to know if One book is more likely the word of god than another
7) if you don't believe in the whole book litrally then how do you know the bits about god are true how are you deciding which bits to belive and which bits not to ? i know that the bible and the quran both contain contradictoins there is no way to actualy know what would be the write thing to do.
8) from a universe creation stand point MOST THINGS START OFF SIMPLE A allmighty powerfull creator is not simple , evan if the universe was started by some supper inteligence it would not be a god but it would just be a super inteligent life form, for example if we created life 10k years from now we are not Gods in the biblical sence. as an example of how things start of simple A planet for example starts off as dust and debry that colects together due to gravity untill its so large its core becomes hot and other systems and chemical reactoins can accour.
9) if you believe everything needs to be created by something who or what creates god by saying god did it your left with the same problem.
10) belive me things do not fit together perfectly , for example humans are cosntantly braking , we have to go around inflicting pain on other cretures just for us to stay alive , 90% of creatures live by killing other creatures that are all pritty mutch inosent but all have to suffer horable deths or freeze and stare to death.
11) granted it might seem like slim ods that we would come to exist but thats because we are looking at it after the fact We are an accident not a planned event, for example ,
If I specify that I have to roll a dice and get the nimbers , 6 ,3,2 , 6 ,6 4 ,3 ,2 , 5, 1, 5, 6, 3 ,2 ,1 3 ,4 ,5 ,6 all in a row the ods would be mind boggling but say I didn't specify that i had to get anything and I was just aimlessly rolling the dice and the numbers that came out were 3,2,6,4,3,2,5,1,5,6,3,2,1,3,4,5,6 IT would be stupid for me to look back on that and say THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE what were the ods of me getting those.
Its like sum one wining the lottery and then attributing it to skill , they just happened to pick 6 random numbers that then happened to be the ones that occoured, Just because the numbers happened dose not then mean that person used skill to get them , or actually knew they were going to be the numbers that were picked.
Its far more likely that we are just a random occurrence than the creation of one of the gods of , Islam, Christianity, Mormonism, Scientology , flying spagetih monster .

BBC Newsnight Heated Debate Over "Climategate"
Its a shame that not all scientists have Dawkins character and media knowledge to be able to convey themselves in this retarded format.
I love how the scientist at the end says "what an asshole" lol
ether way There was hardly anny informative or reasonable discussion taking place, an epic waist of time like 99% of the shit on tv.
BBC Newsnight Heated Debate Over "Climategate"
Tv is fundamentally fucked and it has been for ages if you watch tv debates or the news you will see what I mean subjects that require a good 2-3 hour discussoin are gone over in 6-10 minute segments its a fucking joke and a diservice to the public.
the climate change thing will not be a simple case of YES EARTH IS DYING OR WE ARE HAVING NO AFECT ON ANNYTHING
the rality will be in some cases pumping gass and random shit into the enviroment will do damage in others it will be neglagable compared to enviromental factors , and in other cases it will be just a mixture of things so much so that you would not be able to scentifcly prove or study it, In the same way that we can only predict tomorrows weather with 60% certainty despite having huge super computers and established mathematical models working on it.
The important thing is that We don't let the media and generally moronic people combine all the issues into one single issue that is then debated.
Im pretty sure that regardless of what affect things have on the weather a human breathing in toxic chemicals is not good for your helth, im allso prity sure that reducing bio diversity allso reduces avalable food sources. allso polluting and abusing fresh water removes our ablity to drink and servive.
so regardless of if the earth is heating up because of us or not the fact is we need to look after things that are important to our survival.
and regardless of it being a natural or man made fenomnum it dose appear to be happening so we still need to work out ways to deal with it.
aside from the global warming debate if we actually move away from limited fuels that also happen to pollute then we will start to find sustainable fuels that not only do less damage to the environment but also don't run out reducing the need for wars.

Amazing Beautiful Russian Artist
I mean its like watching sum one do generic gymnastics its not bad and it takes a good deal of work but artisticly speaking its not that good (compared to some of the stuff surc du sollay dose or some of the more creative gymnasts around)
also other people have done sand drawing like this in a similar format with music so its not even an original presentatoin .
Its like watching sumone play an instrment with moderate ablity , nothing particualy wrong with it but personaly if i was going to invest time in making art id get my tachnical ablity up to a very high level before I started to show it of in a public fashion.
in the end At least she came up with the original drawings even if they rnt that well technically executed. and it seems that the audience like it so I guess it dosent really matter.
The "Best" Reason To Smoke Electronic Cigarettes
there are other vids of this guy lol i think he is a famous DJ
Hedonistic machine lubricates itself
This piece isn't about hedonism, it's a metaphor for the American Military-Industrial Complex.
you see you should find this in museum and then place that on the description. not only would it be a usfull way of perceiving it but if the artist started with that in mind and ended up with what he did it would make them a very skilled artist.
Gliding over Kagel Mountain
personally my teath are average maby if you had a 1-100 scale of tooth perfection im probably 65-70 , my teeth are only aceptable because my parents forced me though dentail hell and braces and all that shit. i don't particulay look after them well but its in my genetic macup that they don't get rotten or particualy off colour.
just saying cos I know people are preoccupied with teeth well Americans seem to be. even if it was his doing i don't think it matters that much its only something that will affect him directly , not the people around him. its not like he is using all the tax mony up paying to get them fixed.

^ no.
money, power, territory, control (and the backlash of those oppressed by power and control) are the CAUSES of war. religion is simply the motivator. and the means used to manipulate underlings into fighting the wars.
religion= a means for control. power is the ends, money is power and territory is money.
many religions allow for people to be racist and have an excuse for it.
many religions are a celebration of faith, faith allows for grate evil.
I'm pretty sure that there are and have been many people who if they were not religious would have not done the evil they did. (There will also be many people who have done good in the name of religion however I would argue that those people who did good would have done it if they were atheist)
ether way there will be no people that have done evil or good specificly from being an atheist.
for example many religions specifcly tell the followers of them how to behave and what to do ,
atheism dose not tell anyone to do anything it is simply the lack of a belief in something. from that lack of belief they are then open to deduce things for themselves that that belief would have otherwise blocked. they are then free to ignore all the evils of religion and concentrate on the good if they so want to.
having a belief in many of the religions out there is like catching a virus that pollutes your ability to think. as a direct result of being religious and subscribing to religious texts you are far more likely to do harm or make bad dessisons than sum one who evaluates things on the available evidence using scientific principals and logic.
BTW an athist can still be sum one that makes terrible desisoins and applies no scientific principles or logic to there thought.
Its just a fact that on the current available evidence beliving in a christain , islamic, jewish, mormon, scentoligy , greek, god or gods is paintently stupid.
people get locked into religious thought instead of bettering there minds or being open to new ways of thinking about things.

believing in something unquestionably purely on faith is incredibly dangerous.
atheism is simply not believing in gods or god, I see no danger coming from being an atheist where as if your prpared to belive that say cheistaintiy , Scientology, islam, is true then you can potentiality be a dangerous person from the religion and the ideals within the religions.
moderate religious people are in some ways like racist people that don't realise themselves to be racist , sure 90% of the time they represent no harm to society and they wouldn't attack coloured people or shout at them but there propagation of there insidious ideas slowly take a hold and you end up with a society of xenophobes making government policy based on irrationality.
I think atheism should be promoted but it should only be promoted in a purely factual way , in the same way you promote science , or information about flue vaxines.
also just because your an atheist dosnot make you a peace loving hippy , it just means you wont do things based on a belief in god , an atheists could still be a dip shit and go around hitting black people. but the important thing is that the hitting of black people dose not come from atheism.
I would argue that if sum one has come to the conclusion of atheism through reasonable thought and scientific thinking then its unlikely they will be the type of person that will be racist or hateful of other people. where as with religion it is far more likely that you can normally be a reasonable person but because of what it says in your religious script you will hate another people , or think it acceptable for your government to bomb another people. or that key scientific principles should not be tought in school . or that people should not be allowed to have abortions , not based on a good argument or your own personally worked out views from up to date evidence . but based on something written in a 2k year old book.
