Math is real.
QUOTE: So, would math be more like God's programming language? Another interesting idea. It's something that we might never know, but I see no harm in speculation. God is a rational being, all of His actions are rational. Mathematics are rational, even when we don't understand the equations. It could be that God and mathematics are independently necessary or mathematics could be contingent upon God's existence. The fact that everything God does is rational would mean that mathematics would be the same no matter what universe He created. Maybe we only perceive mathematics as necessary, because mathematics is a purely rational entity and would be created by God the same way regardless of the universe. If that is true, I guess you could say that mathematics is God's building code. |

truth be told...
QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: For those of you who believe love is a choice, do you just walk up, pick someone and decide to fall in love with them? You have to be open to the idea of romantic love with a person to fall in love. You have to invest energy on a daily basis to fuel your feelings for the person. It's easier if you are attracted to the person and have things in common, but any couple can make it work if they are dedicated to it. I work and have worked with people who were in arranged marriages. Their marriages get better every single year, even when they start off rough. They don't believe in divorce and both parties will do anything it takes to make the marriage work, because they feel pressure from their families. Relationships and marriages fail because one or both parties give up, not because it could never work. If both people wanted the relationship to work and put in the effort, then it would work. What you seem to be saying is that you can choose to fall in love with anyone if you put the effort into it. I don't agree that can happen. Sure, relationships take work, but I don't think love can be forced. What is love? Give a definition. |

In philosophy, there are two kinds of entities: Contingent and Necessary. Necessary entities would exist unchanged regardless of the universe, while contingent entities depend upon another entity for it's existence.
Math is most likely a necessary entity. In a multiverse, there could be an entire universe that was nothing but marshmellows, but math would still exist there, even if there was nobody there to practice it. God is the only other necessary entity known to mankind. |

QUOTE: Hi there, i joined this site today and have recieved around 30 messages already. Every single man was looking for easy sex, but nothing serious. Some said in the first message, Quote....i wanna lick you all over.....unquote. Others at least asked a few questions before asking to meet for sex. Im 45 not 18. It gonna take more than half a lager to get me drop my knickers. Im not saying all men over 40 are looking for sex. Just the ones that mail me
I meant that as a compliment. Geeze.

Kale Chips
Wash the kale well and cut it off the backbone into chip sized pieces. Put oil (olive, coconut, bacon grease...whatever) on both sides and put it on a cookie sheet. Season to taste and cook for 20 minutes at 275, flipping after 10. You can skip the flip if you cook with a cooling rack in your baking sheet.

love and sex
QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: love and sex are not the same thing But they kinda are. Exactly...Sometimes love and sex are one in the same, sometimes love and sex are not even remotely related... Society has decided that they are separate, so they are in people's minds. But there is a reason why sexual intercourse is called "Love making". It's the most intimate, vulnerable and beautiful act in which two people can engage. It's also called f*cking. While, you can have sex with someone you're in love with, sex does not have to involve love.
You are missing the point and stating the obvious. |

QUOTE: It's not about winning or losing to me Johnnie. I say how I feel, it's not a competition. QUOTE: There was a time when this country was brown, red... whatever ya wanna call it. Seems we have some serious issues wanting to keep that from happening again.... That's an unfortunate way to feel about other people. There are racists, but the vast majority of the opposition to illegal immigration is based on legal or economic grounds. You should really spend some time reading why people oppose illegal immigration, it might raise your opinion of your fellow Americans. |

You get your choice people:
1) Open borders 2) A welfare state. You cannot have both without economic ruin for the country. We wouldn't be in nearly as bad of shape as we are currently in, if it weren't for illegals using public services. A report last year said that if California stopped offering public services to illegals, it would completely eliminate their budget deficit. Personally, I'm for open borders (as long as they inform authorities that they are entering the country and have no criminal record). |
