Nevermore

Is that a joke, or are you serious?

No, but he seems to prefer that the don't. Think of it like this for a moment. Most of New Orleans is made up of poor, black people. This demographic is almost 100% democratic. What can we infer from the facts that he: 1. benefits from having them "out of the picture" and 2. took 5 days to respond to Katrina? Hell, the Mexican army responded before he did.

Not you. Pangloss.

Bush fanboy!

Bend your knees and take long strides.

I'm an extremist democrat I guess. I don't like any of the recent republican presidents. And I've liked almost all democrat presedents.

It's quite clear that you are a Bush fanboy, and thats fine, but please don't troll.

Okay, so we've established that lucid dreams are less restful, and that lucid wet dreams > porn. On a more personal and slightly embarrassing note, I will use the MAME technique to induce lucidity, and have found a useful mantra to listen to while I sleep. However, I have an ugly and none to soothing voice. I was um... wondering... If someone could record this : Close your eyes and allow yourself to relax. Let all concerns fade away as you breathe slowly and deeply.... As you listen to these sounds and this voice you are drifting deeper and deeper into your own inner world where all your dreams are pleasant, where you can find peace and the solutions to any problems. Here, you, and you alone, are in complete control... Let go and drift deeper and deeper with the passing of every word. Don't worry if you drift off to sleep - this voice will travel with you so that you will continue to respond to it at an unconscious level... You are going to drift into a long, deep, refreshing sleep and when you awake you will be revitalized, invigorated and alert with all your cares washed away and replaced by a wonderful sense of wellbeing. There is nothing for you to do but relax... relax... Now, imagine that you are standing on the terrace of an old house, a country mansion or a cottage perhaps. You can feel the sun on your face and shoulders and a gentle breeze bringing the scent of freshly cut grass and summer flowers... Looking around you see an elegant flight of steps leading down into a sunken garden. There are ten steps and in a moment we will count down from ten to one together. As we count, imagine that each number is a step down towards this beautiful garden, another step down into an even deeper state of relaxation... 10... take the first step down. Relax and let go...9... Feel more and more relaxed...8... No need to hurry. Take your time...7...deeper and deeper...6... Deeper and deeper still...5...really relaxed now. Letting go...4... Becoming calmer and calmer...3... Feeling safe and secure...2... All the way down to...1... And now you find yourself in the beautiful garden with borders of sweet scented flowers and lines of tall, elegant trees stretching far into the distance. Feel the softness of the freshly cut grass beneath your feet and smell the fresh, pure air. Listen to the birds singing as you absorb the stillness and serenity. In the distance you can see an ornamental fountain which is bubbling over into a gently trickling stream. You walk towards it and when you reach it you sit on the soft grass and gaze into the cool, clear water. The sound of the trickling water is lulling you to sleep so you lie back on the grass and gaze up at the clear blue sky. As you drift off into a deep sleep, you have a dream, a lucid dream in which you can control the events and maybe even find the answer to a question for which you have been long searching. (Long Pause) In the future, when you sleep, you will be able to take full control of your dreams, just as you are doing now. From the moment when your unconscious mind realizes that the events you are viewing are only part of a dream, you will say to yourself that this is a lucid dream and you will become aware of the limitless possibilities it offers for problem solving and self exploration. Whenever this happens, you will be in full control at all times. You will be able to do anything you want and go anywhere you please and to awaken when you choose. You will only ever have pleasant, uplifting dreams. If you choose to find the solution to a problem for which you have been seeking an answer, you only have to step into that problem to find the solution. Your unconscious mind will guide you so that you can evaluate and try out as many of the solutions as are nessesscary. When you find the answer that both your conscious and unconscious minds believe is the best solution, you will feel completely satisfied and drift into a deep, comforting sleep. When you awaken in the morning you will have a full recollection of that solution. From now on you will look forward to going to sleep as you will find it easy to recognize your dreams and become fully lucid whenever you want. You will find solutions to any problems, giving you more control of many aspects of your life and making you feel more positive and optimistic for the future. Now go into a deep, deep sleep... I realize that this is an extraordinary request and is unreasonably demanding, but if any of you have the time, please record it. Seeing as this will be a large file, it can be uploaded here: http://www.yousendit.com/ My email is shaviland1@comcast.net

Are they? Does lucid dreaming replenish your mind as well as regular REM?

There have been alot of missing posts and threads lately. For instance my thread linking to that onlinr comic, or the post about switzerland in the one world govt. thread.

Lol, yes I was kidding.

It still doesn't work for me. As for color, I think a nice deep black would be nice.

Wiki stats doesn't work, also, it could use a nice background.

Actually, taking over Switzerland would be quite benaficial, seeing as noone wants to fight with them, because everyone wants to bank with them.

cambrian_exp, you are talking about the big bang, not evolution.

For sentiance, you need a brain. A brain consists of several billion cells. Most aboartions are done in the first few week, of the 1st trimester, in which the fetus-to-be is still a zygote, consisting of a small cluster of cells. A 1st trimester fetus does not have the brain needed for sentiance. Therefore, a first trimester abortion is no more murder than a blood test.

Agreed, but there is enourmous demand for decaf products.

Or possibly a light case of salmanella.

With the caffine removed from, lets say, coffee. You can drink it, but not get the stimulant effects.

The energy exerted by freezing water is very strong, but not at all explosive. It is released very slowly. Freezing water can lift 10,000 tons, but can't propell even a pebble into the air. It simply expands to slow. Interesting thought though.

How did you get back in? You were permanently banned.

He's as neo con as you can get!
