  1. Many doctors have studied this I watched a show on Discovery channel to this effect also it was titled "why is sex fun" one study found that the female orgasm actually draws sperm up into the uterus I choose to take a simpler approach in that it feels good because if it didn't females wouldn't participate and reproduce.
  2. If a person sticks to this diet alone for a month would there be any serious side effects other than fairly rapid weight loss? The diet is 120 calories from fish 200 calories from potatoes 100 calories from mixed frozen vegetables. 1 or 2 cups of tomato juice at 50 calories each as much celery (plain) as you want because celery is a negative calorie food for a maximum of 520 calories a day. By my guess I should lose 1 pound every 3 days for a total of 10 pounds.
  3. Firstly I am not your opponent I am just debating the topic. Your theory basically say's we are all prodigies in one area and will be most successful in that area. Your theory suggests we are born with talent for the arts or for industrial manufacture etc. I am disagreeing choosing instead to say that these are skills learned and the earlier we start learning skills the more successful we will be in that field. As an example a young boy works in the garage with his mechanic father quite often when growing up and as such he becomes quite adept in the field is interested in it and becomes successful your theory suggests even if he didn't work at a young age with his father he would still be as skilled and naturally mechanically inclined. If we took the same child and held him on a rigourous practice schedule for a musical instrument from a very young age and never exposed him to mechanics would he be a skilled musician in the arts or a skilled mechanic? Where would his heart lie? I believe it is what he has learned as a skill and because he wants to imitate and please he will develop similar interests. I don't believe skills are a part of personality.
  4. It seems to be an interesting theory but one also has to take into account environmental factors influence a persons personality. for example lets say a teenager is constantly harassed and bullied in high school which leads to social withdrawal and social anxiety. Now School's over this person enters the work force where maturity level's are higher and is accepted much more readily which improves confidence. Said person finds it much easier to express views and opinions and to sway argument said person goes on to become president of the company. If this person were classified into a certain personality class based on traits they exhibited earlier in life as your theory suggests it would be argued that they would never fit the criteria for a leadership position. Environmental factors influence personality which to me suggests much of a persons personality is a learned response which to me also suggests different traits can be learned and a person can re-train themselves. If it were not true we wouldn't have psychologists and therapy helping people improve themselves everyday.

    designer drugs

    For the purposes of this discussion a designer drug will be defined as any chemical composition be it a blend of over the counter pharmaceuticals or a cooked up concoction in a lab that does not contain any illegal substance but is developed for the sole purpose of creating a mind altering experience. Would you consider it morally wrong to profit from such a drug since you are not breaking any laws? Is it ethically wrong to create a legal high , a drug with a sole purpose of promoting an altered state ? Do you think it is wrong to produce a legal drug that closely mimics the effects of a narcotic such as heroin or cocaine and to profit from it? What's your thoughts? The drug addict is going to get their fix somwhere , possibly the drug you create could be so cheap on the street that the addict doesn't have to resort to crime to fuel there habit hell you could use your profits to combat illigal narcotics if you liked.
  6. crappy so eventually we'll be like Keplar B with one side baking and 1 side freezing. Any info on the estimated time line for this to takeplace? I.E. when is it projected the earth will completely stop. And for arguments sake ......... millions and millions of years though technically not perpetual motion sure seems rather efficient for an object set in motion to maintain it's momentum albeit with a tiny loss. I'd have to call it perpetual motion.
  7. is the rotation of the earth not perpetual motion? I contemplated trying to duplicate this with magnets in a vaccuum kind of mag lev technology because i believe that is zero friction. but there is still gravity to muck things up
  8. historically the population of the world and those who believed in Santa was much smaller making magic reindeer power possible but since the population has grown I think it's impossible for Santa to make his trip using just reindeer. So........what do you think the sleigh is powered by to make his trip feasible?
  9. for a science fair project I was wondering if there is a better (more violent) solution for a kids volcano. It still has to be safe of course but we want it to shoot up instead of just foam over top.
  10. A,B,C,D, b is only 1 against 3 suck it up princess
  11. you would have to return to collect silly it's a reward not a grant much like the 10 million dollar incentive that enabled ("impossible") private space travel to become a reality. It makes me feel disappointed that NASA with all it's brilliant engineers and huge budget never came up with a more economical design than the space shuttle. Yet private business with less money and resources figured it out in less time along with a way to make it profitable and even reasonable in terms of cost. 250 grand to go to space I think the lady who paid NASA to go into space (and then offered the reward of 10 million) paid 3 million for her trip aboard the space shuttle. Neccessity (or greed) is definitely the mother of invention.
  12. Pffft!!!! It's all about money there are tonnes of theoretical space craft able to reach astonishing speeds but there's no money to test so they remain theoretical. Once there is actually a NEED to travel great distances in space be it financial or for survival / overpopulation whatever then there will be a solution. I have no doubt in my mind we could develop technology to travel there in our modern day society and do it in a reasonable amount of time with an unlimited budget and an incentive to do so. offer 1 trillion dollars to the first organization to travel there and return in 10 years and it'd happen.
  13. I would like to first point out I am not being an arrogant ass secondly Liviu I had many of the same experiences you did they are very real and because of the realism I began to think I had super sensory powers and communicated telepathically with almost everyone. NOW THIRDLY I want you to seriously consider a few things. IF you are telepathic why does no one else believe you? you should be able to talk directly with them in their minds and everyone would believe you right? Next why can you not summarize your thoughts? This is a simple process for the majority oof people however there are some who hold to a belief so passionately they have to explain everything in great detail and it still does not come out right, And thirdly do you have racing thoughts that are crystal clear to you but seem very difficult to explain? What I'm getting at is I think your brain is in overdrive and your having delusions of grandiosity which I did........ my story is very similar to yours I was able to very clearly explain my thoughts and beliefs and show an above average intelligence even in severe psychosis I felt NO.......... I BELIEVED I could do all these things no one else could and other people knew but we just never discussed it. Don't be offended but how you worded your phrases and beliefs of these super human capabilities ..........just like me friend. And chances are this post was pointless and you won't go see a doctor because you believe you really posess these abilities. Do me one small favor though, Eat some red meat, avoid stimulants, like coffee and get some sleep , slow your brain down a bit.
  14. I can complete it properly using mostly long curved lines as long as we are not committed to using the straight lines in the first drawing.
  15. I am sure there is a simple explanation (and please keep it simple) but the idea is to replace the gas motor on an electrical generator with a high efficiency electric motor then to repeat in series with 2 generators running on the electricity produced from the first generator then 4 then 8 etc. R.e. a 5 h.p electric motor runs the first generator which has an output high enough to run 2 generators etc etc.It sounds so simple i am sure there is a reason it won't work.
  16. Recently started volunteering at a brain injury center and was surprised at the number of people with brain injury and a concurrent mental illness. Several individuals have expressed to me that their MRI and CT scans showed little or no evidence of a traumatic brain injury but before there accidents they had no symptoms ranging from emmotional outbursts to psychosis to severe depression. So the question is sice modern science shows no evidence of brain injury but the psychiatric portion of medical science supports the theory........who is right? Did the injury cause the mental illness? perhaps this should be in a different area of the forum but if the scans showed little or no evidence of brain injury did the injury still occur?
  17. I'd have to say Hugh Hefner anyone surrounded by that many gorgeous women who still has money has got to be good with numbers
  18. or you could just uninstall it til after the audit and then reinstall it after, Surprised no one told you to download a version with the product key from a torrent site or to use a software key generator for your already installed version. That's the easiest way to fix your problem as opposed to learning a new program. Next time register the software before you discard the package it really doesn't take that long it's a mild pain in the butt to avoid hassles like this in the future.
  19. well you'd need some drugs to slow your heart so thats opiates there's a form of tank free deep diving where people have trained themselves to hold their breath for 4 minutes plus and slow their heart rate. But nah that takes too long. Then your gonna need a stimulant incase you over dose and need to be brought back so you'll need some coke or some meth on hand and a close friend to monitor you. (Make sure they don't get high too) then I guess just shoot some heroin and see what your pulse is if it's not slow enough shoot some more. When you fade off into whatever dream like state it is your after well then you had enough I guess. Geez..........when you put it in those terms it sounds like a really REALLY dumb idea doesn't it? slowing your heart means lowering the amount of oxygen in your blood low oxygen causes brain damage, brain damage is permanent. Awhile back it was popular for teens to place each other in choke holds until they passed out to experience this thing your after, Some of those kids now have severe disabilities as a result. But I guess stupid is as stupid does, The little disclaimer your not gonna do it.............nah these high IQ fellows around here will never see through that
  20. You should start a thread about your diet pills so those who know more about this sort of thing can find the post and respond. I for one can't see it being feasible however i heard about some operation that kills your taste buds r.e. if food doesn't have any taste your going to only consume it as fuel. Maybe a good pet project for you would be to go and collect all the supplements neccessary seperately such as protein drink, mineral supplements and vitamin supplements and consume the proper amounts as per a nutritional guide. My "guesstimate" is you feel like crap, your bowel movements are going to be bad (think peeing out your bum) your going to be constantly hungry (at least til your stomach shrinks) and I think as a hypothesis cause I'm no doctor, that your going to have severe stomach problems such as acid reflux , ulcers, and all around discomfort. All in all it sounds like a horribly self destructive diet and in the name of science I'm behind you 100%
  21. Well it's a proven fact technology is the only thing enabling our earthly population to eat. If we run out of fossil fuels with no replacement alot of people will starve or thinking outside the box if we had a natural disaster which caused an electromagnetic pulse (huge solar flare) there would also be drastic repercussions when everything electronic ceases to function. However I did see somwhere an article breaking down the earth's population and how many acres were alotted to each person for sustenance and if i remember correctly we haven't hit the threshold yet. With modern farming the population threshold is increased needing less land per person and I myself have enough faith in the world's intelligent to build upon plant genetics and animal genetics (though controversial) in a manner keeping up with our nutritional needs. But another question would be at what point can the economy simply not support any more individuals or will technology keep pace creating new industry? I think population control will be more about money than food. look at china? way over populated even with population control and they're the healthiest people in the world IMO ..........and of course it's worth noting there economy is keeping up ........til ours crashes. I dunno we'll see what happens but the world isn't over populated yet. We're not attacking countries to feed our own so it's all good.
  22. Sorry Marat I am just a little peeved at your comment about free range chickens being less healthy. Ever been to a chicken house? Ever look at the independent studies? Your a victim of propaganda. free range contains substantially less bacteria requires less antibiotics to keep the birds healthy, has a lower mortality rate, the meat has less fat and higher protein etc. etc. As for your statements about organic........I don't know any organic farmers who dump sewer sludge or uncomposted manure on their vegetables but I know alot of conventional farmers who do. Food is big business and the big players have the cash to keep you in the dark. That's my rant for today please don't be a victim of the "it must be true I saw it on T.V." mentality
  23. The thing with statistics is you can make just about any number up and people will believe it "87% of all people know that!"
  24. wow i thought this thread was dead, actually never done time thanks, Just a very prolific writer. I came up with the plan a long time ago I had to change the story line a bit to place the wrong doer in a government position where they basically get publicly humiliated repeatedly through elaborate set ups. The wrong doer of course gets angry and hires a thug to take care of business and ends up doing time on an attempted murder charge. What I was going for is a psychological analysis of sorts where the revenge seeker basically does one thing knowing it will cause the wrong doer to do another The revenge seeker is always one step ahead and anticipates every move. But I couldn't make it work I don't have the talent to make it draw you in that way. It sounds boring when I spend too much time explaining how the revenge seeker KNOWS it will lead the wrong doer to act in a certain way.
  25. It's also worth mentioning that marijuana can "enhance"or trigger symptoms in the mentally ill but equally some report it also dulls the symptoms, as far as weed related illness well how about cancer marijuana contains high amounts of tar. Today's pot can often contain THC levels of 20 percent or more which is much more than the stuff in the 60's.
