I'm still around. I don't know what's up with Aph. I think he mentioned in some posts that he was in the process of moving or something. So maybe he's just been busy. As for me, sometimes I think I'm making progress, but then it just doesn't seem like I am when my account gets smaller and...

MUDVAYNE "Dig" I would love to beat the face, Of any mother fucker that's thinkin' they can change me, White knuckles grip pushing through for the gold, If you're wantin' a piece of me I broke the mother fuckin' mold, I'm drowning in your wake Shit rubbed in my face Teething on...

777, Great points. I do agree with you here. I do not think we should give people the death penalty unless we are certain. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" is NOT sufficient, IMO, to give someone the death penalty. We are in agreement here. Here is where we differ: Say I am at a bank with...

I'm just making this post to demonstrate that the concept is a real possibility. I do NOT really believe that this is what happens to me. If something can happen, it will happen. If it is possible for someone to have bad luck and jump from profitable system to profitable system at the point...

Something by Mudvayne. :)

Right now it is "beyond a reasonable doubt." People do get convicted of murder when no one saw them do the crime, but the circumstances are just overwhelming that they did it. If the act was not caught on video, or there was no DNA evidence or something, I would not give the person the death...

Reward and punishment are concepts that will never completely go away. I don't think it will ever be accepted by humans that it's acceptable to go around killing people (short of war). Therefore, society will always implement some form of punishment for bad behavior, one way or another. As I...

Who cares what the Bible says. It's a bogus and flawed document written centuries ago. Why should we have to live in the year 2003 by what cave men wrote?

Great topic. I'm glad that you stated that the burden of proof must be very high. I agree. I used to be someone who was overwhelmingly in favor of the death penalty. I still am more in favor of it than not, but it doesn't bother me too much if people get life in prison. Both are severe...

:D Now if only I could figure out how to make money trading... :mad:

I'll open up and discuss my current situation honestly. Maybe by doing so, others will, too. For the last few years, my account has been very slowly grinding lower. If I ever blow out, I will at least be proud that I wasn't killed quick and did not go down without a fight. I started in 1999...

Of course there was brain damage. Just because he could still do math, etc. does not mean he did not have any brain damage. It just so happens that the part of his brain that was damaged was not the part that did math. Instead, the part of the brain that was damaged was the part which was partly...

I actually have heard about that before. Maybe I saw it on a Discovery Channel type show. Anyway, although it is amazing that the man lived, how it changed him does not surprise me at all. As we know, some people commit suicide by shooting themselves in the head. Although rare, it is possible...

LOL. Me either. :(

What is the link to download beta versions?

Totally unprofitable

If we had the technology where you could walk into some machine and it would copy exactly what was in it, you would still be you, but there would also be a copy of you that was the same. If you were replicated 100 years after you died, the copy would not be "you" (the one that died), but it...

To All: I have made a great case for my beliefs throughout this entire thread. I would like to see someone challenge me and provide a "better" set of beliefs than mine. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DO IT! :p SUMMARY: Food/energy enters the body. The body turns the food into energy to power the...

I noticed that you edited your post and added more to it while I was replying. I'll try to respond to what you added. True. Who I am is the result of my functioning brain. If I were to die, my dead brain (and the rest of my body) would just be what once belonged to and sustained the "person" I...

I don't really follow you here. IMO, things that can feel pain, are aware of their surroundings, etc. are the types of characteristics required for me to consider something as living (as in human type life). Trees, plants, etc. are also living, but there is a difference between a living plant...
