Ah i figured it out! He replaces "people generally want" and "I WANT" with "NEED". No same you want roads and security ect. People want healthcare and firemen. People need food to live for more than 7 days. And those are already private matters. If essential parts of our existance and survival (relationships, food, water and having children) is already private (along with information online) then i fail to see how putting tarmac and Asfalt or people taking insurances (without government burdensome regulation) would be such a huge colossal problem for society. This NEED arguement statist have seems to be very close to many of theyre hearts. It is as if people need everything and want almost nothing of importance which in twisted sense turns statist into little helpless children. -
Nope, though ive seen some videos. And while i do see your point i must point out that in youtube comments you can have multitude of people unlike in occupy rallies.

The fact that neurons fire and move in your head is absolutely objective. The feeling the experience of it is subjective. However we are all humans here and relative to your selfknowledge and mental health we all experience same feelings by the same definations, aka slapping a masocist vs slapping your avarage guy vs slapping mentally unhinged person yields differant feelings. But all of us experience pain. And those feelings, fear, joy or anger are subjectively experienced but thye do refer to either same or similiar enough experiences.

I think more than half of youtube comments are only waht they are because youre not talking to the persona face to face. Seriously try to imagine what all this would sound in public palce or between you and him/her (commentor)

Well Gershoff would be one person to look fowards at: http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2002/06/spanking.aspx http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Gershoff%20ET[Author]&cauthor=true&cauthor_uid=25358960 But certainly other scientists should be looked at, she jsut popped unto my mind immidiately. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=spanking+children BUT also its important to understand that if people demand peer rewiew process because they think its biased IMMIDIATELY after you mention objections (moral and scientific) to spanking, that tells me atkleast that these people are not curious but just do a neejerk reaction. Because getting someone ire from people along with assertion if bias immidiately either means these people somehow have studied spanking and know biases in the field... or theyre jsut making it up and saying bias because thats and easy way to dodge the mroal question or plant dout in the othe rpesrson midn and get them to shut up. It sound to me like person in the 1950s/1960s getting irritated because you tell him that smoking it bad for you just as the studies started to come out about it.

Its not murder, even if its breathing...

"Theft is illegal removal of property. Taxation is legal. Therefore taxation is not theft." "Murder is planned illegal killing. Terminating a fetus is legal. Therefore abortion of any kind is not murder." Same twisted "logic". NOTE. "of any kind" is there because it relates better to this story more than simply saying "Therefore abortion is not murder." -
The comments on some of the new sfrom Oregon strike me as insane. Wait, oh thats right they are insane.

YES! So muhc yes for this post "The world is harsh and cruel and if youre happy and palyful and childlike, well youll be jsut crushed like pile of weak bones so better become like us!" [insert parents and bullies and some teachers here]

If the phyla are not related then either those phyla died out and other phyla evolved of whose ancestry we have no fossils of OR they are related but Meyer got it wrong since he is not a biologist and others on the field which he is basing his conclusion on disagree with him. www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/13-08-07 There is no reason to assume any outside influence occured (and we are talking of aliens here since i am sure you like anyone would understand that adding any supernatural explanation here would be just god of the gaps correct?) What evidence does he provide that is highly disasterious? All living are both like and unlike theyre parents and deepers down like rest of humanity yet quite differant. These differances are exactly which allows such mutitude of species from simpler forms to more complex ones. The idea that at some point the chance would too dratic and hamrful to the body is not shown anywhere in nature. Harmful mutations and differances with offspring do occur but very seldom. Wait... you just say he makes illogical just to judeo christian god and then say he is the least biased? You do know that intelligent desing is and was proven in court to be Creationism is disguise correct? That intelligent desing is merely a position that creationist have move slowly to from earlier creationist positions and now are split (although often seem to quote each other nonetheless.)

Welcome aboard, Ivan Id like to point out that in philosofy its not really "point of wiev" since we deal with if its true or false, valid or invalid, is it rational or not well argued with reason and evidence and logic. I dont wish to come off as overtly critical for your first post however, merely that its mistake with word and philosofy thats often made so it bears pointing out. [if stefan says sometimes "my point of wiev/opinion is that" himself then its entirely differant issue though and you can ignore what i jsut said in that case.]

1. Didnt Rand make it very clear whats the differance between caring and altruism? Altruism being sacrificing your own happiness for the sake of someone elses happines (as read in the Truth about Ayan Rand by Stefan) doesnt seem to match "innate primate altruism" unless ofcourse if i am misunderstanding what you mean by it. 2. Foreigh policy would mean there would be government (and its involvement) so i dont see how you could have any policy at all in place if one followed libertarian principles to theyre logical extension. Now if one is minarchist then seperate conversation would perhaps need to take place. If you asking for the arguement from effect, (which is the best politcy that goverment can have for certain desired results) then i cant answer since i reject the validy or functionality of it. I am sure you have seen Stefan talk about arguement from effect before yes?

All evolution in animals does is selects those traits favorable for survival. Whats often misunderstood is that by "trait" we do not mean fully formed arms or legs. Rather the arms, legs certain types of lung ect. evolve also from previous animals trough theyre children (passing on befitial traits.) These traits arent yet arms or legs but theyll eventually become such over millions of years trough the use for other useful and helpful ways. Whales for example did not gain theyre current "flippers" in single species to species chance. Many many species were inbetween and some didnt make it and some trailed to various other forms. The one which survived belongs to whales ancestors today. Also cambrian explosion, where di you hear only single celled organism lived during before it and suddent there were multible celled oens all over the palce? If myers has said this then he is clearly wrong, pre-existing multitude of species were all over the place and not only that many were interrelated aswell so evoltuon would have plenty of time for selection before and after. Also enviroment during cambrian is important to keep in mind compared to what came before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ediacara_biota Pre cambrian life http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambrian_explosion#How_real_was_the_explosion.3F Disputes over the "explosive" nature of the cambrian perioud. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestigiality Evolutionary traits as cumulative (spelling?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaptation

Why doesnt it? So far i and others have talked about facts, when was "faith" in any shape or form entered the discussion?

Besides that Pepin said, there punchuated equlibrium by Steven J. Gulld (spellin?) Id suggest him up and his research, be wary of creationist quote miners thoguh, he has received fair shake of those since PE is dare i say it, evolution of our understanding of evolution whaich of many things Darwin didnt know. Also fossilization is rare, so there will be gaps in the fossil record. And with sudden starts if youre refering to say the Cambrian era, when lots of life emerged quickly this period is around 20-25 million years, give or take but within that time so much life emerged which we know today. And even then MOST of those species are dead and exintct. The sudden chances on climate or enviroment weed out those not capable of surviving in it be it evident physical charestirictics or intelligence or mutual cooperation during harsh times. Like mammals for example survived where as dinosaurs didnt...except as birds and not all birds are dinosaurs and those with feathers. And when this occured the amounth of species of those mammals and proto birds was in hungreds/thousends so... ...so if fossilization wasnt rare then the amounth of species we have found would pose problem with time, however since most species that are dead never fossilized evolution hasnt jsut had lots of time but als loooooots and lots of variation. To the point where every single million years was filled with thousends of chances iun enviroment to million upon millions of species and KLIDES to not say the least!

Evidently it along with mens day has been around for a while. Even here in finland along with mother and fathers day. Yay? Equality... ho? -
Short answer: We dont know exactly how abiogenesis happened. Read up on it if you want best answers on what we DO know

When i read what you said here made me feel incredible pain and anger since i am indeed one of those people who would not work on waht they LOVE or like because evil people will attack me for it or/and scold and demonize and humiliate me as a child. It hurts, but i think waht you said accidentally hit a nailgun on my own false self so it can no longer hide in the fog. Thank you

I dont know. Crazy ideas are alla round us and with this one it could be almost anything that somehow threatens or "insults the faith". The people who would use violance are jsut looking for right excuses to act violently. The people who dont are looking for excuses to doublethink whilst remaining a muslim.

Wait so bodies that are more fit and less fat/obese/thin are the same for health? I might have it toally wqrong here but the point of exersise is not to become healthies in the absense of your current condition. If youre not fat/thin (thin being muscularly weak) and you maintain healthy diet then exersise certainly isint required for health, becasue whatever is it that you do already evidently keeps your msucles strong enough and bodys fat/weight ratio to one which is healthy. Now as for ADDITIONAL exersise beyond this, ill leave that to each personal taste and experiences if mroe exersise helps one feel better and scientific papers to reveal us more. Also defininf exersise is important too, 10 minutes walking outside is considered "exersise" by some. While other only attrivbute it to athletic or bodybuilding activities.
