Well, if you mean afterwards, then yes.

Can you prove that you are able to count to a billion?

Yes, one, two, three, four.... Wait a minute.... 1, 2, 3....


.... 58, 59, 60. Who am I proving what exactly here?

Are you any good at remembering telephone numbers?

No completely and utterly useless...

Same ques except for remembering names.

Hehe... Nobody can count that far. If you spend 2 seconds saying each number (you do that when the numbers go high enough), you'll spend the next 63+ years counting.


No, I don't remember names at all. I remember faces and gestures though.

Are you fond of the hexadecimal representation of the decimal number 12,648,430?

Not at all, I think it tastes foul (12648430 = COFFEE).

Do you enjoy logic?

Do you enjoy logic?

Yes, I do. Very much so. Sad to say that we live in such an illogical world, surely the social world. It confuses the heck out of me, sometimes, but that says more about me, I guess, than.... blah (3x).

Is there something, where you always thought, that's so illogical to me, I.... .
Vent please?

Illogical...religion. It makes no sense. An invisible man in the sky who knows all, sees all, and is all powerful? Bull. I had a discussion today with a woman at my school about whether God and Jesus are real. I said that there is no proof of existence, and she said "do you believe in Christopher Columbus, and that he came to America?" I said I do, and she said "Why? Where's the proof?" I said that the proof is in history, in books, in Columbus' journal, etc. She said "How do you know that's real?" I said it's documented, recorded history. She said that the bible is as well. She said that it was written by Jesus' Apostles. I told her the books of the Bible were written by several different people, in different places, over a long period of time, then pieced together and proclaimed to be the word of God, and the story of Jesus. She disagreed, and said they were all written by his Apostles and that it was fact. I gave up...

What makes people believe in their respective God(s)?

Good example. I had that sort of conversation hundreds of times. Different, of course, but the gist was the same. A bit older now, I gave up. If someone want to believe in delusions, fine, suit yourself. (Btw, probably Jesus isn't a fictional character. I think he lived around 2000 years ago. Too many sources claimed he did but to say I'm sure.... nah)

But to answer your question, I think, it's mostly fear and insecurity. People tend to hate that and seek answers. Better to believe in something far fetched, than to be insecure. Plus conditioning from early age by parents, priests and other surrounding influences. When you're drilled from birth, chances are you're screwed for life.

In my philosophy there are almost no facts. It's mostly opinions, stats, probabilities, assumptions, perceptions, etc.... um, question?

Are you also a (somewhat) skeptical person?

Not really except evolution
Do you like Twilight

never watched it (but Ive heard a lot about it especially on YouTube when searching for the band MUSE), but I'll probably rent it next time. I've got 007 to watch tonight..

Do u typ lik dis wen sms-ing, n do u fnd it anoyn wen othrs do it?

Can't stand it. I have a thing for grammar and punctuation. lol(but I'll still say that)

Nihilists believe in nothing, but nothing is something, therefor they believe in something, which makes them paradoxical hypocrites. Do you agree?

No, I don't. Nothing doesn't exist therefor it isn't something and I believe the whole concept of nothing is crap. Not a thing can be created out of nothing.

You know the theory about the amount of water on this Earth, that the sum of it will always stay the same, no loss just a circle like movement. Evaporation (transpiration), condensation, precipitation, collection, evapo.... Wikilink

Well, no concrete proof or empirical evidence but I have this sense that the universe has a fixed amount of mater also. Thing change, sure but not a thing was created out of nothing. All what is here now has always been already there in a different form or shape. F*ck, I can't fully explain this theory I have in this language. Bugger.

(tjah, nihilists )

Have you checked the link?

No, I didn't. But I don't have to either, because I agree to what you said.

>> But I don't agree with the "something can be created out of nothing is bull", because you have to define nothing first. What is nothing? Spaceless? Timeless? No dimension at all? Ok, I can deal with that, but then, assume for a moment that the theory of the big bang is true. What was before that? (Ok, no God of course lol), but what? My answer is "nothing" happened before the big bang because time, space, and "something" are all defined by our universe, meaning there was "nothing" before it. Actually, there isn't even a "before it" either. The whole concept of "before the big bang" is completely meaningless.

Do you agree with what I just said?

I reserve judgement on the subject because if I made a decision it would be based on my interpretations of information which I am in no way qualified to interpret (for I know little of physics or maths). However, I like reading about it.

Ethical relativism is nonsense. Agree or disagree?

EDIT: In case you want to know what it is: Wikipedia link.

Undecided
Woot?

Oh yes, woot indeed.

Could there be a smilie with a more obscure use than this: ?
