Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Sunday, September 18 2005 19:08 Profile #207 Most famous death by hemlock ever? Socrates'. Isn't it the case though, Thuryl, that in medicine, anything that has a medically useful purpose is nevertheless fatal in large doses? COX-2 inhibitors come to mind right of the bat. There's also our old friend, alcohol. The Greeks' greatest discovery ever was moderation. It's a shame that this discovery seems to be lost frequently.

Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Wednesday, September 14 2005 05:47 Profile #9 Sorry, it's "tritone" - it's been a while since my music theory classes. A tritone is the interval that's half a step between a perfect fourth and a perfect fifth. A tritone chord is a minor third stacked on top of another minor third, often referred to as "the Devil's chord." Play a C-Eflat-Gflat chord, and you'll know what I think Ben's BB looks like, musically-speaking. ;) [ Wednesday, September 14, 2005 05:51: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00

What car in General
Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Thursday, September 8 2005 03:57 Profile #8 I'll back up the Impala - Given the mass of the vehicle, and provided you're seatbelted in, it will keep you pretty safe, because modern cars won't be able to stop it. They don't make'em like they used to. That aside, your best bet is to go with something a.) a little fuel efficient, and b.) expendable, like a classic teenager beater car - an old Honda Civic or Volvo 240. They're not expensive to replace if you get in an accident, and correspondingly not too expensive to insure with just liability coverage, which will still be pretty high no matter what for a teenage male. Of course, your parents may be bankrolling you on this one, which though unfortunate for you and them IMO, can be fun. In that case, go ahead and celebrate your lack of responsibility with something fun and fast.

Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Thursday, September 8 2005 03:47 Profile #11 I would go with Aran's set up, except I'd probably reverse the first two (so I don't go insane before I have the chance to wish for sanity), and I'd defer the third for a while until I had a chance to consult my newly omniscient mind to figure out what I really should be wishing for. :) Posts: 2242 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00

The 1 Dollar Question in General
Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 11:03 Profile #44 I agree with your point. If someone was firing at my friend, or at a schoolyard full of children, I would not hesitate to fire a death ray, though there may be legal consequences for me. This falls into 2nd Treatise reasoning, an area I seldom venture, since I think Hobbes generally got it right more often than Locke. :) [ Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:05: Message edited by: Drew ] Posts: 2242 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00

Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 10:57 Profile #29 quote: Originally written by Sunset: The difference between eternal sleep and death is the illusion that the person is still alive. How is eternal sleep different from/preferable to death? Getting to dream? How would a belief in an afterlife affect this distinction? quote: I can't really comment on the morality of cults, as one could argue that every organized religion is in a sense a cult. In your example they made the whole thing up, but at the same time men wrote the bible rather than God's hand. Lots of people don't believe that men wrote the Bible though, and I would argue that this belief is entirely based on what they've been told by others, no matter the "feeling" they claim to receive from their faith. But I digress. If people don't have an alternative to "eternal sleep" to consider, then that becomes their "death" for purposes of their law, as it permanently removes individuals from society for the reasons their rulers have spelled out. If they accept those rules for the "eternal sleep," then I don't see why there's any reason they would change once they know what death is.

The 1 Dollar Question in General
Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 10:34 Profile #42 quote: Originally written by Zeviz: You are walking down the street with your best friends. A man starts shooting at you and your friends and he is not missing. You have a gun in your pocket. Do you kill the attacker? This is a substantively different scenario. In this case, someone is deliberately trying to harm me. Given this, I would defend myself with a gun if I had one. The upshot of using the gun as opposed to the "instantly kill someone for $1" ability is that I have a chance of disabling my attacker without killing him. He then could be subject to the law, of which generally I'm a fan. Posts: 2242 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00

Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Wednesday, September 7 2005 10:30 Profile #26 If I have no comprehension of what death is, then how could I comprehend murder? For that matter, is "going away to sleep forever" really substantively different than our definition of death? Emphasis on the "forever" part. How about another question... Islamochristohindian leaders perpetuate that the faithful will go to heaven and live forever with Shiyallahwehva after they die, provided that the faithful do what they say. However, the reality is that they made up the whole thing to keep the people docile and doing what they think is right. Is what they're doing wrong?
