Since no one will shut up about the war I'm giving my take

Its fun to mix the heroin and the cocaine together. Just my .02 take it or leave it.

First of all, beliefs are retarded. If you personally BELIEVE in anything, it's because you're a moron. As soon as people start throwing their beliefs around they're just asking for trouble. The whole idea behind a belief is that you don't know for sure if something is true, so you for some reason (i.e. wishful thinking 9 times out 10) decide that you will take that leap of "faith" and believe that it is true. You have to have a motive for that leap of "faith" let us not forget, or else you would never take it.

Aren't all scientific theories based on the testing of a hypothesis? If the hypothesis were fact (i.e. something you knew for sure was true), then what would be the purpose of testing it? Isn't every hypothesis a scientist's belief which he bases on a finite amount of evidence and then proceeds to test in order to attempt to prove it as fact?

By this logic you've presented, either a) nearly all scientific accomplishments are nullified or b) the people who made the discoveries are morons.

Second, pride in ANYTHING besides something you PERSONALLY created either directly or indirectly is ludicrous. To have pride in one's country is stupid, unless, I suppose you personally had a hand in some aspect of its present status, such as being a president. If you think that exercising your right to vote grants you some sort of automatic right to take obscene amounts of pride in the country in which you happen to live, then you sir, are a jackass.

What makes you think that only a political figure can affect a nation?

Let's take a simple piece of our country as an example: the stock market. OK. I want you to put an imaginary bomb in the office of every single company that is currently being traded. BOOM! Ok, they're all gone. Now tell me about the state of our nation.

Now the market is composed of all of these companies, so these companies must influence the nation in some way, right? So must the people who own these companies, and so must their employees.

Hell, I'm a Floridian and I voted Bush. Good or bad, that should tell you something about impact.

I'm getting tired at this point and really want to smoke a bowl so I'm gonna stop here. My essential point is that humanity needs to stop clinging to trivial things. Maybe it's time to turn the microscopic around on YOURSELVES. Think about that shit.

Will do.

Sounds like you have been reading some pop psychology there Nathan. I've never seen anybody benefit from their tenets. I've seen several go downhill as they embraced the phallus of pop psychology.

I think you and I have different definitions of the word "beliefs". A hypothesis is not a belief. It is a guess. The difference is, yet again, that the scientist acknowledges that his hypothesis may be wrong in the end. And if said scientist does not, then he's a moron.

So, by my logic, I have done no such thing.

And as for everyone taking pride in their country, I would say that they can certainly take pride in their accomplishments but that taking pride in one's counrty simply because of association is ludicrous. It's like building a car. Say you personally made the windows yourself, and those windows are then used in a car, take pride in wonderfully manufactured windows but not the entire car.

I said it before and i'll say it again. THIS BOARD IS SO FUCKING GAY

Do me a favor and post something AFTER you've smoked a bowl so I can see exactly how deep the shit can really get! I better get my boat out. Heres an idea: Post a new thread "This me when im not stoned" then go smoke a bunch and a while later post another new thread "THis is me when Im stoned". Then we will post a poll and make a determination if dope is bad or not on your thought process. Or something of the sort. Sounds like fun I think.

 

[KnoXville]

Jebus cripes, correct me nay I be wrong but I read your post twice and don't even think the words asshole, scrotum or smegma were spoken of at all. Albeit not even an cuspidate mind queef of fantasial imagination. Is all this Effulgencical psychoneurotic jazz what our own petite little drug detoxed Nathan is all about?

 

[rsnoble]

If you do this poll with dope, perhaps wednesday or thursday ill do it with beer.

I believe the world would be a better place if i were to be annointed by God as the "Supreme Sodomizer". Upon this appointment, i would sodomize the entire population of planet earth with a broom stick.
