sorry, but i`ll pop in for a sec. I`l expand my opinion later when will have more time 1) probably, it is so - religion and science have same root: unstoppable need and desire of human beings to explain the world around them. But seems to me very soon after birth they started to serve...

i think that major milestones were already set in this thread (as well as by morals of modern world quite a time ago). It seems to me that difficult task will be to follow such guideline :D

We possessed atheist preacher so far, now we became that lucky and encountered islamic preacher. Positions of christian, hinduist (is it correst word?) and buddhist preachers are still vacant. Please, don`t hesitate to send us your resumes and CVs. :D :D :D p.s. yeah, i know, Mars Man sama, i...

Not quite correct. Many of them had no other choice, since they live in a country with such cultural stereotype and strong religious background of a society. They grew up learning that wouman must wear hijab. And even when they learned that in many countries even muslims don`t wear it, and even...

i think they are alike. Let`s look at some examples. 1. Person. We usually confident in people we know well, we trust them basing it on quite simple reasoning: "if he/she was "good" before ths person unlikely to fail us now(in a future)". With people we don`t know, or know slightly it can be...

In short: Logic can be considered an algorithm of composing complex assertions from simple ones. Nowdays there exists several "logics" 1. classical logic a) deals with discrete set of objects about which assertions are made, set of statements is then also discrete b) Every...

i once studied astrology, even made several natal charts to see at the results. i don`t know about predicting future with use of astrological data, `cause its methods (at least those what i found in my books) looked to me rather dubious, besides, i find such forecasting a waist of time. but...

well, i live in rather mall city and can watch media works and administrative activity quite close. Besides we had local elections a few days ago. I can hardly believe that media doesn`t like someone on their own... Very often, expressing "opinion" they don`t give a damn to what (or who) they...

i agree that Dalai Lama says obvoius things. Simple truths and solutions which are known to everyone, but we tend to look for complicated decisions, mistalenly supposing that simplicity can`t be right

There are pros and contras. I`d say at least in two cases (maybe, more) this war would be impossible - Saudi and Emirats will strongly object (and perhaps, Siria will refuse to provide it`s airfield); and second - if there exist high possibility that Iran possess MDW (why do you think N.Korea...

Sponsors... very general.... present a list then? who does benefit from the war? especially in this region? another point might be - withdrawing attention from other issues it is extremly rare when bad news are made for the sake of bad news

and who pays for the news :? Holy Spirit? :D

well, zen is not about knowing Buddha actually %)) and 'blossoming zen' is of no interest to any 'commercial course', if you don`t know it so far. But "discover zen with true teacher!" is much more attractive for a commercial purpose %) and zen is dust also %)...

absolutely wrong in "only" part. The flower of what is called Zen can effloresce within anyone without a teacher or at least without "special zen teacher". can be applied to lots of things here, as well as many of them can be considered practice :D "zen" just one of many names of same process...

do you notice that in your monologue you tend be deaf to other opinions? Besides, there is no need to argue here, since you are just asked to clarify your points. If you found necessary to sound your opinion about language why you find useless to provide the basis of it and the reason? Why do...

after some short thinking i dare say - nothing. All of a sudden i figured out that at some circumstances i can`t be sure that i`ll hold to that "sacred" (like to kill in selfdefence - other`s life is not so sacred therefore, to care about pet - what if my family and me will be severely starving...

Then elaborate it, please. `Cause i don`t see a connection you are trying to draw. For me it looks rather like you are producing you own linguistical problems onto language itself. But as we say don`t mix soft with white, please. It is "Linguistics" section not political one. If you want to...

two russians... maybe, but it`s rather idealization... and nevertheless you do not distinguish linguistics and cultural "mentality" (very popular word nowdays and only few will dare to explain "what the hell is this") For at least 10 years i don`t need a reason to leave Russia... i am allowed...

nice bunny... but hit the outer... try again i believe in you :D

absolute IMO maybe, "emotion" would not be a correct way to put it. Since what we see today is not simplistic "stimulus-reaction". The concept of a "mem" seems quite appealing, but to my taste it also lacks smth. Perhaps, at early stages idea of god could be a "mem", but now days it looks more...
