I Was Going to Post Something Here . . .

If the "no's" have it, will we get a fancy, insightful post which will change the tenor and give new meaning to this forum? Dare we vote no, or are we ourselves "fey" and given to self-deprecation in word and meaningless occupation? Vote "no" and change the world.

Ask an unemployable well fed artist anything

Are you happy with the direction your life has taken so far? What influence did your parent(s) have in this direction and what changes would you have made?

How to get more women in IT and technical fields.

While that's true, a parent's role is also to provide the means and guidance for the offspring to be self-sufficient and functional in the environment they happen to be in, and this in our day means being technically capable to a large extent. Such fields are not for everyone, but parental...

Os for using pc as router

OP, you're probably better off sticking with a conventional router -- it's not clear what a PC-based router would give you other than technical headaches. But to add to the list of such routers which may be of use in general...

Adenocarcinoma of unknown primary

You might have heard of this: http://nypost.com/2015/08/10/belief-in-god-really-does-make-you-feel-better-study-suggests/ What I know from personal experience is that the lack of any belief in God and afterlife can be unbearably painful for someone facing death. If one doesn't think of...

Cancer.. i have it

I think that when you have a potentially terminal disease with severe pain which requires specialized pain relief, the chance of addiction should be very low in the list of things that you should be concerned about. But any aspect of pain relief you're concerned about should be discussed with...

Going to step-sons 8th grade "graduation". Help me.

Sure, at an end-of-year party, you mill around etc., while a ceremony is structured, and gives time to recognize, celebrate, and remember every child. I guess it gets more diluted with bigger schools, but at the early ages especially, the schools can be small, and every kid can be known by...

Going to step-sons 8th grade "graduation". Help me.

Even graduating college is not that big of a deal if you look at it that way. But it is a passage, and a celebration to mark the transition is nothing unusual. For the kids, ending a school year is good enough reason for celebration, and when it's a transition year, it's also saying goodbye to...

One American Muslim's 9/11 Story

Why would you guess that? Is this yet another theist vs atheist argument to you?

One American Muslim's 9/11 Story

I didn't hear anything denominational in his speech, and those who object to his affiliation apparently didn't understand what he was saying.

The True American

Thanks for bringing this up. Here's a great article on the topic: http://www.esquire.com/features/americans-2011/rais-bhuiyan-1211 There's a movie planned, and it might be interesting to see how the play on "True American" works in that, as a diversion. But asking whether or not...

Whoa! Ultimate truth found?!

It isn't Peter Russell's idea, and for that matter, predates Decartes by several centuries at least. To his credit, Russell's first word in the article, "Western", hints at the source. The idea of consciousness existing without a material basis is no less, shall we say wonderful, than the...

Look how far India has come

I've only seen one of his films, and on the topic of realism in Indian films this thread raises, his film was not just realistic relative to Indian films, it was human.

Your thoughts on God

A fickle belief swinging to the opposite is as likely to swing back, until you have something which is more profound holding you to one, until that in turn is also exhausted because it is also essentially unsubstantial. Lack of belief may be less unsubstantial than a dumb belief, but as it is...
