Is the pirate ninja beer I had the other day (was called Yo Ho and had a ninja on the front!) the best drink ever created by man?
Oh, my GAWD I hate to admit it...but I've actually had that thought before!LewsTherin said:Hm...
could you take out a cyborg with an EMP?
or maybe if you made an EMP Flamethrower.....
But how would that work..?
Well, all the probing makes me think that maybe there's been some kind of easily transmissable form of anal cancer discovered...L.B. Jeffries said:I think aliens are human beings from thousands of years in the future, traveling back in time to study us. It's the only rational explanation I can come up with for why they wouldn't invade or make contact. No matter how you shake it, for an alien species to travel all the way here and just take some photos is a bit odd.
The thing is...when I think that, I start wondering what their relationship with the past is at all. Is it like Stapledon and they just relish the experience of their ancestors? Or does it go deeper? What if they're facing some cataclysmic end to the planet, like the sun exploding, and there is nowhere to run? I don't believe in hyperspace or things like that, I'm of the rather negative opinion that we'll never be able to travel outside our galaxy. Do they travel back in time and inhabit our bodies? Do they literally reincarnate themselves over and over, trying to improve the fabric of society, so that one day we can escape our cataclysmic doom?
If you go to Issendai's rant list, she'd got an interesting take on Matrix-style reality...if that's what "freedom" is, who would want it? What would be the advantages to it? Who in thier right mind would choose Zion over the Matrix? You should see the eyes pop when you trot that one out in company. Is freedom worth it? People hate having to really think about "real" freedom as opposed to "percieved freedom". (And usually cop-out of the argument by saying "But the Matrix was just a movie.")MarkusAurelius9 said:got another one, slightly matrix flavoured.....
What is defined as real? Can you prove conclusively that this is real, and NOT some figment of my imagination? Is someone else's viewpoint as valid as mine? is that person real? Is this all a dream/ nightmare of the indidvidual's own making? that's one for the midnight number 2 visits.

Siphilus can make you feel as if you are verging upon the all knowing...who knows, you just may be...but then you die.
If you think asbout it, wouldn't the robots just clear the skies themselves?smuttbullen said:No this is the real world.

Also, If heaven is above and hell is below, what does that make current plane of existence? Not religious, but i believe it would be Purgatory.... Think about it

I think fat people are icky.
I cannot figure out how retarded people fit into society. I think it is irresponsible to let them marry one another. But I can't imagine anyone seriously considering a lifetime relationship with a retarded person.
I think if you have a genetic disease you should be sterilized at birth.
I think after a woman has given birth to two living children she should be sterilized.
I think it should be illegal for teenagers to have children. Government mandated abortions/adoptions.
I think there is nothing sacred about Human life. Just more meat creatures.
Given the chance I would gladly become a cyborg.
Even better would be a brain in a tube with control of a robot army.

Alright then, if you were on said train, traveling at the speed of a bullet, and you turned the light on, would said light move at the speed of light + the speed of the train. And therefore make the universe implode or whatever Einstein thought would happen...Rabid Toilet said:Yes.NinjaDwarf said:If you are on a train that goes at the same speed as a bullet, and someone else on said train shoots at you, would the bullet leave the gun?
If the bullet were being fired in the same direction as the train was moving, than the bullet would be moving twice its normal speed, but would appear to be moving at its regular speed by those in the train.
If the bullet were fired in the opposite direction, than it would not move, since the opposing forces would cancel out, but would appear to leave the gun at its normal speed by those on the train as the train moves away from the bullet.
Basically, yes, the bullet would always leave the gun if shot on the train.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a physics fan.
Okay, nobody turn any lights on in trains until we're 100% sure it won't cause the universe to implode...NinjaDwarf said:Alright then, if you were on said train, traveling at the speed of a bullet, and you turned the light on, would said light move at the speed of light + the speed of the train.

No matter how fast the train was moving, the light would move at the speed of light. Even if the train was moving at the speed of light, the light on the train would still be going at light speed, but would appear to be moving away at the speed of light by those on the train. This is because, when things move "faster than light" they are actually going at light speed, but traveling through time.NinjaDwarf said:Alright then, if you were on said train, traveling at the speed of a bullet, and you turned the light on, would said light move at the speed of light + the speed of the train.

Plus! what if the train was going 2 times the sped of a bullet, etc etc
Anything that shouldn't be able to survive on it's own. I had a friend who had a family history of genetic defects. Paralyzed vocal cords, weak heart, etc. Each generation the defects had become more severe. Without medical support he would have died within hours of birth. Only severe life threatining diseases deserve sterilization.H-Bomb said:I think if you have a genetic disease you should be sterilized at birth.
Define "genetic disease". You'll find a funny line appears once you start saying which are sterilisable.
I would be on my side of course. Once the two sides have fought one another nigh unto extincition I would swoop in with a strike force compiled from the plundered weaponry of bothsides and deserters from both armies, kill off all the survivors and take over.H-Bomb said:Given the chance I would gladly become a cyborg.
So, let's say you DO become a cyborg, and there's a war, humans vs robots - which side would you be on?
