    Does Quantum Mechanics defeat Occam's Razor?

    Why did you ask this question: Quantum Mechanics Explanation: Your brain experienced a chemical reaction that interacted with something we believe may or may not exist but can't be measured without altering it so go back to philosophy. Occam's Razor Explanation: You asked because you're curious...

    Charity begins at home

    I have interpreted this as take care of your own first, then reach out in ever widening circles until you've run out of resources to share. 1. Me and immediate family in my home. 2. Family outside my home. 3. Neighbors. 4. Church / community organization 5. city / county / state etc. The point...

    How many genders are there?

    Either you decide that your instinct will win or your willpower to choose against it wins. Options=choices even if we don't think about them.

    How many genders are there?

    @The_Doc_Man: We are going to disagree on this because we can't seem to agree on terminology. I'm heterosexual but there is nothing stopping me from becoming homosexual, it is my choice to honor my natural proclivities or try something else. This is sexuality, not gender. I agree, being with...

    Blood pressure

    I realize I dropped a bomb on you guys this week. I wanted to follow up. I want to live. I have a wife that I want to start dating again when our youngest goes to college next year. I have cookbooks to exhaust, books to read / listen to etc. I've struggled with pain for a long time and...

    The new iPhone is sexist

    I realize things are different over there but you fail to grasp the climate here in the USA. If you're white, male, Christian, republican or have money you cannot be a victim, you are only a victimizer and if anything bad happens, you deserved it because your ancestors had it so good before...

    Was OJ innocent?

    From POst #3 As a white person with uncles, cousins and brothers* on the police force, I still don't trust the police. Most of them are good but the bad ones still spoil the bunch; you never know which one you're going to get.

    The new iPhone is sexist

    Sorry, I forget that we have a rather large pond between us. And I tend to watch more BBC than American TV, after all a lot of what I see is remakes of BBC stuff anyway (Shameless, Being human etc.)

    How many genders are there?

    There are three genders. Male, Female, Hermaphrodite (genetic mix of both / indeterminate). Until science has new convincing evidence, I'm sticking with the current science rather than politics. Sexuality definitions are a different story. Any time there is an option, there is a choice...

    A bigot acusor is a bigot

    Bigot: a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions. I am intolerant of people who believe doing harm to others without just cause is tolerable. I'm not saying they can't have their opinion, I just don't want any part of what they do. If that makes me a bigot, too bad.

    White Privilege - for and against

    My first thought against "White Privilege" is the fact that I have had to work for everything I have. What's worse is that I've lost out on jobs because of "Equal employment opportunity" and "Affirmative Action" which is code for we have to hire the person with the higher melanin content rather...

    Blood pressure

    I have a network of three others that do daily check ups. Sometimes the only relief is focusing on the other person's problems long enough to forget your own. Your thoery is sound.

    Blood pressure

    My normal is 115 / 80. Usually when I'm sick or have a headache it will jump to 130 / 80. Yesterday, I sat with my general practitioner telling him with a calm voice how much pain I'm in, where and how it hurts. The look of disbelief was not received well by myself or my wife. Then he looked...

    Ambulance wait times

    We let the ER do triage and the ambulance do the transportation part. I think you are correct to complain about the service.
