    Anki Decks Card Counts

    Is there a difference between the British Sign Language and others? Are they not internationalised?

    Are vegetarians cruel or just misinformed?

    I do not feel conflicted in any way. Put aside the Buddhism alignment for now, let us instead tackle the midge vs the steak. The steak represents just a portion of the animal. It is possible that if I took that much meat off a cow, it might still live! Yet the midge, we are talking about its...

    Anki Decks Card Counts

    I am not sure what others do, but I recommend an Add-on, called: More Overview Stats 2 You can get it here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/531984586 It gives you a bunch of stats on your collection and it is dead easy to install.

    What forum sections would you like to see?

    I am wondering if Wisdom and Decision Making should be in the same section, since they are related. Hmmm..

    Are you an atheist?

    I know many are. But caste your vote in the category you feel most closely resembles your beliefs (if you feel inclined to do so).

    Are vegetarians cruel or just misinformed?

    I am a slave to my desires. I comfort myself in the first post in this thread being possibly true. After that, I stick my head in the sand and avoid all thought on the matter.

    The Mind Tavern reaches 200 posts!

    Just a heads up to say that after only 4 or so days, we are up to 200 posts! A big thanks to all the members who are helping us develop this into a home for those who enjoy topics of the mind. You know who you are.

    How good or bad is your memory?

    Well, I was using the physical skill analogously, but when you think about it, there is physical skill involved. A computer telling a joke in monotone is not likely to elicit guffaws followed by applause. That is not 100% accurate. I have heard Stephen Hawking get applause for his jokes.

    Are vegetarians cruel or just misinformed?

    You haven't offended the vegans, but you have offending the millions of poor animals who will suffer a death at the hand of their human keepers, followed by masticating them to death for your own pleasure. Please read that last bit carefully. I don't want you to get the wrong idea! I do want to...

    Are you an atheist?

    With Dawkins books like "The God Delusion" and the decline of religion in Europe, do you consider yourself an atheist? Please take our poll.

    What forum sections would you like to see?

    Do you consider the list of topics a good one? Do they seem relevant to "the mind"?

    How good or bad is your memory?

    Jumbled mind, lack of comic timing. It is a bit like the physical skill of playing tennis. Some people can hit the ball easily while for others it looks like swatting flies.

    Immortality just around the corner or a pipedream?

    How about if we could wipe the slate clean and start again? There could be a clinic that erases a substantial portion of your memories. You leave surgery forgetting why you went there in the first place. :ROFLMAO:

    Are vegetarians cruel or just misinformed?

    I understand that vegetarians shun meat for different reasons, ranging from morality to health. But if we tackle the moral reasons, are they in fact misplaced? I read an article that suggested the death count per acre of harvesting arable land is much higher than that of livestock. Countless...

    How good or bad is your memory?

    I have a friend who used to always tell the punchline first. He got everything back to front. To watch him try to restart the joke after the horse had already bolted was a bit excruciating!

    Brexit - good or bad for the UK?

    Is this the view of most Americans? I know everybody has their own opinion, but I am wondering if it is the defacto standard of thought in the USA.

    I have come to the conclusion that the reason the site has been blocked by people at work is because it is a forum. Therefore it comes under "social" and so banned by company policy. I blame Facebook. You are welcome here anytime The_Doc_man, however infrequent. Just pop along should you feel...

    Any meditators here?

    When you say "next story", do you mean you write stories? Or are you referring to posting on discussions forums?
