    A physics question

    You are technically correct (The best kind of correct). Generally physicists don't consider a speed relativistic until it begins to reach significant percentages of the speed of light (between 1% to 10%). However, that does not mean that relativistic time dilation does not apply in this case...

    A physics question

    With respect to what position? As mentioned before, the theory of relativity posits that velocity is different relative to respect of the observer's position. For instance, If I am traveling in the car 60 mph , and I reach over to the passenger seat and smack my friend in the back of the head...

    Argue for Free Will

    I think this is what the Zen Masters call: "A Question Wrongly Put." First, the way the question is worded leaves me with more baffling questions about the intent. What do you mean by "Believer?" Do you mean a deistic belief? Or is this more of a general "I believe in freewill," belief...

    Poll: A question for the guys . Sex on the first date, Yay or nay?

    I like think of myself as a gentlemen. I like to think that I have enough self-control, that when given the opportunity to sleep with a person that I just met, I can just say, "No, I'd like to get to get to know you, first." But, considering my track-record, I'm just not very good at the whole...

    Do You Hate People Who Disagrees With You?

    I guess it really depends on exactly what they are disagreeing with me on. I have a strong policy on my continued breathing and existance, and if you aggressively disagree with me that I should continue to live, than I might be mildly irritated with you. Aside from fringe issues, like: racism...

    can someone please explain american football to me?

    American Football is a bit of a complex sport, but it's not too difficult to understand. I say it's complex because there is a lot of play types and strategies involved, but considering that the majority of the fan bases is fairly inebriated while following the rules, and even calling out plays...

    Sexism in the industry

    All apologies, but I do not believe you got the point of my thesis. My problem isn't that they are catering to a specific group, but rather, they are catering to a specific group, at the exclusion of any other. This conversation would be a moot point if there were plenty of examples of fair...

    Sexism in the industry

    I don't now, nor ever have thought that this problem is really about the objectified and oversexualized women in games, but rather the lack of women in games that aren't this way. Meaning for the overwhelming amount of women who have hyper-sexualized traits in games, such as large breasts...

    Poll: Is Not Dating a Certain Race Racist?

    Racism and race relations is sort of a complex subject, and judging a person based on their personal preference in tongue licking partners is usually fairly narrow-minded. For instance, plenty of people prefer skoodilipooping with their own race, not as a judgment of other races, but as a...

    I think I'm about to be dumped.

    Buddy, I'm going to say the most difficult thing you will hear on this subject, and the thing that you want to hear the least: Tough luck, but there's no good advice to be found that will make her come to a decision quicker or decide to stay with you. I don't mean to be curt, I don't mean...

    Poll: Would you have sex with a robot?

    I don't know... Can a sexbot mimic the bored and stiff expression of the real thing?

    Poll: Fantasy or Scifi?

    Ok, it seems like we've established some grounds. Now, while I can certainly see your viewpoint a little more clearly (not to say I quite agree with it, but then again I'm just human with my own biases), I still object to the idea that optimism is a) bad and b) ubiquitous to Science Fiction. Now...

    Poll: Fantasy or Scifi?

    Hi, Darken, sorry to rake you through the coals, I just found it amusing and ran with it for my explaination. First, if you don't like Sci Fi, I have no problem with that. As I said, my enjoyment of Sci Fi is purely out of personal taste. But my point was to point out that there's no real...
