... what? why? For both.. why can you have multiple and why can't you have infinite?You can't have infinite universes anyway, it's impossible.
You can have multiple universes though, just not an infinite amount.
I'll be happy so long as Sharron Angle doesn't get anywhere. She's insane.Random political thing from me;
If democrats lose less than 30 seats, it'll be a victory for them.
Short answer: Absolutely.Hey guys just a random question, do you guys think these authors are worth reading?
I mean the whole thing collectively, not just one or two, as if you had to buy all of them or none of them lol.
I know they were influential in their times, but I'm wondering if they're too outdated be of any use. It's basically natural science, mathematics, history, politics and economics.

Nope, Presidents can't win for losing, so long as real suffering is happening and the President hasn't been able to waive his magic wand and make it all better they will take the fall.I don't care about presidents, but can they do anything right?
If this is what CK means, I agree with him. It all comes down to the fact that the american people like to blame their president when bad things happen, whether they have much to do with it or not.I believe he's bashing the American people and the way they view politics/presidents, ie Bush was criticized for being too detached from certain big events (like Katrina), whereas Obama is being criticized for being too involved (like the BP oil fiasco).
I actually laughed at this.Give me five years and I'll be carving up DH debates with my out of date scientific and political knowledge lol.
But, if you're looking for scientific knowledge, you'd receive far greater benefits going for something that explains the genetic basis as well at a similar level of depth.Darwin's theory is actually very similar to the modern theory, if not identical (minus the stuff about genetics, of course, which didn't really exist at the time). I was surprised by how much he gleaned given the time period in which he discovered/wrote all of it.
While I'm a huge supporter of democracies and republics and the like, I still think Churchill was right when he said; The best argument against Democracy is 5 minutes with the average voter"I believe he's bashing the American people and the way they view politics/presidents, ie Bush was criticized for being too detached from certain big events (like Katrina), whereas Obama is being criticized for being too involved (like the BP oil fiasco).
It's also really sad that some the purported anti-government people (Tea-Baggers) are really just people who a) feed off of base emotions & b) are really just people who aren't happy their government isn't in power.While I'm a huge supporter of democracies and republics and the like, I still think Churchill was right when he said; The best argument against Democracy is 5 minutes with the average voter"
Americans are just pissed off at something and they're looking for anything to bash the face of the federal government.
I'm wondering if they're pro-government while their government is in power. That would be utterly hypocritical.It's also really sad that some the purported anti-government people (Tea-Baggers) are really just people who a) feed off of base emotions & b) are really just people who aren't happy their government isn't in power.
Then they find something that's wrong with THAT government, and they just rinse and repeat after that.I'm wondering if they're pro-government while their government is in power. That would be utterly hypocritical.
Tea party members are a mishmash of neo-cons, traditional right-wing conservatives, libertarians, and others that would mainly fit under "I hate Obama for X reason." Despite being fairly... schizophrenic in their stance, the so-called tea party generally embodies anti-"big" government, or at least tries to minimize the state. If they were to succeed in their uprising, they'd celebrate it, but not necessarily become pro-government, as it would be antithetical to their cause (which is what you were saying, but just to put a finer point on itI'm wondering if they're pro-government while their government is in power. That would be utterly hypocritical.
Try A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand RussellI'm thinking about getting into philosophy, etc.; what would be a good thing to read first?
I just read the first chapter online, and even though there was a decent amount of bias, I really liked it.Try A History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell
No! No! No!I just read the first chapter online, and even though there was a decent amount of bias, I really liked it.
I'll definitely try to get it this weekend.
Sounds like an idea to me... Dre always said he wished he could have a solid 1v1 with someone because he felt it was always more like 10v1...I'm bored, I wanna challenge somebody to debate...
How about Dre., I could do Devil's advocate or something that I disagree with him on.
We talked about this before, but debate challenges never actually materialized, we could do a judging panel and everything.
You guys down?
