Jim Mo. replied to Edward Teach's discussion 'In a universe devoid of meaning... Why give a shit about the future of humanity?' in the group Existential Atheists
I am all for understanding human evolution. I do wonder, however, if understanding that our brain/genes package has evolved to support the continuation of our genes is sufficiently a "meaning" to our life in the goal-less Universe. Yet,…

I'm in BC too... I think you can legally buy seeds at least over the internet here. Not 100% sure, but I think I remember learning that when the Marc Emery extradition was going on.
Will Faithless Sophia replied to Edward Teach's discussion 'Revolution' in the group Legalize It!
I'm in BC, and I would very much like to know where to get some good seeds. I guess I just need to go to the to bad hempology 101 was canceled this year at VIU :( next year I hope.

O man no you don't! I spent one glorious week in Eugene, and smoked some of the best stuff it has ever been my pleasure to get a hold of. Black Beauty and, probably my all-time fav, White Rabbit. Been dreaming about Oregon ever since.
Cheryl replied to Edward Teach's discussion 'Revolution' in the group Legalize It!
You have seeds in your weed? I haven't seen that in a long time. But I'm in Oregon, we don't have a lot of Mexiweed.

I bet you were and are the discussion of those three and anyone else they spoke to.
Please give us some feed back.
Thanks for sharing.

I doubt it; NASA's track record far exceeds God's when you look at improving the general welfare of humanity.
Edward Teach replied to Edward Teach's discussion 'God and Climate Change'
Is it possible that God and NASA are... one in the same!?!

Shimkus is an abject moron. Which is probably an insult to all the legitimate morons out there. I live in the Congressional District in Illinois right next to Shimkus' (about 10 miles away from the boundary). So, I get to see…

i will bite.
I do not believe and am repulsed at many horrific actions. The believer thinks that the repulsion they feel towards violence and cruelty is instilled by the vicious sky daddy they worship.

Not many would be criminals would be deterred by fear of eternal damnation. A lot of criminals don't think that deeply. Earthly punishments seldom deter those who chose to be on the moral borderline; it's all about what's…

Yes, I suppose there is a small segment - the dregs of humanity - who would be rapists, mass murders... ect if they didn't fear being condemned to 'the bad place' by an invisible, all-powerful, jealous, vengeful god.

C'mon... Nobody is biting on this one!?

Southern Baptists Fundie Students

I had two SBF students walk out of my class the other day when we had a discussion about the rights of the mother vs the rights of the unborn. They said such discussion was "just wrong." They also sent angry e-mails when I talked about the oppression of homosexuals in America.
HOWEVER... their strong moral convictions did not keep them from cheating on today's test.
At this juncture, the incident struck me more as predictable than ironic!

Here is a cut and paste from the Beyond Morality Group:
As a moral relativist, I have spent a lot of time on A/N shooting down the attempts of others to create a universal moral code. I think it's
sort of a fool's errand, but here I go:
All organisms demonstrate a tendency to avoid harm. Even amoeba will
avoid aversive stimuli. This is one of the basic premises of behavioral
psychology's operant conditioning. Behaviors that yield pleasing results

- I was just shifting into second gear when I hit the ice, so I wasn't going too fast. Freaked me right out, I can tell you. I was about a half block from home, so I just walked it back. Minimal damage to me and the bike.

- Oh, and I think newbies are more likely to wear helmets.

Jason Spicer said…
- Edward, I had another thought on the helmet vs no-helmet stats you posted. I'm intrigued by the apparently lower fatality rate in no-helmet states. I think to really get at an understanding of it, we'd need a study that compared injuries/fatalities per mile ridden with a helmet vs without, broken down by various categories like age of the rider, riding experience of the rider (I think it's a safe bet that newbies have more crashes), weather conditions, etc. But I think it's a legitimate question whether helmets help or hinder safe riding.
BTW, I can't believe you ride a two-wheel vehicle in icy conditions. I had a little 200cc Honda in college and I took it out one morning and didn't see the black ice. If you hit ice with four wheels, you go sideways. If you hit ice on two wheels, you go down. How do you avoid that? Seems like physics to me, but maybe you have the balance of an acrobat.

If you're ever in the Charlotte area, let's hook up for beer or three. My sled is in the shed (http://www.iplawdrawings.com/images/sled1.jpg) at the moment. A cage and I were trying to occupy the same space at the same time, and I ended up with a 750 lb ankle bracelet. The crash fractured my ankle in two places requiring surgery. So now, during all this beautiful riding weather, I’m hobbling around my crib 24/7 on crutches while sporting a clumsy leg cast. At least I have plenty of work to do (self-employed technical illustrator), there’s beer in the fridge an liquor on the shelf.

Thank you for your great comments on the "Manhood" discussion. You had important things to say and expressed yourself well.
I closed the discussion but did not delete it. IT takes a fair amount of effort to guide a discussion on a controversial topic, and I think it ran its course for the time being. Some people had productive and useful things to say, and it was overall a bridge-building conversation.
THanks again for your input!

That's OK Arnab. Much quicker than the second coming of Christ. Wouldn't want to be hanging by the balls waiting for that to happen.
