Doesn't anyone else feel that the education system itself needs a re-education?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 16 May 12

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education - Albert Einstein. It's been the same for thousands of years. Go to school. Go to college. Get a degree. Get a job. Work your *cough* off until you retire, and...

Don't kill human beings, but go ahead and slaughter all other living creatures!

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 24 Apr 12

I really wonder who came up with such a twisted concept. I hope I don't give the impression that I want human beings murdered, because I don't; on the contrary, I'm all for the preservation of every life on the planet, maybe...

Freedom is my birthright, and I will have it.

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 19 Apr 12

I saw these words somewhere and was struck by how much truth they contained. Especially because I've been comparatively inactive on myLot for a while now(and I apologize for that), I could relate to those words of wisdom. Well,...

How much longer until the machines take over the world?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 4 Apr 12

The infamous "The Terminator" and its sequels weren't kidding. Engineers, scientists, and even lay researchers have declared that there is a very high probability that machines will become self-aware. It will probably start...

Everything always happens for a reason.... or does it?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 1 Apr 12

I've heard this all through my life in different ways, and I'm pretty sure you have too. But then, if this is really so, and 'destiny' controls all of our lives, whatever happens to the concept of 'free will'? Isn't free will...

Can using the computer affect your intelligence?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 30 Mar 12

Hey everyone! Quite a few people have been wondering about this for a while now, and possibly many more have been doing the same for much longer in the case of the television. Computers emit radiation just like Television...

Too hot for your own good?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 28 Mar 12

Based on the number of women who have stared me down over the years, I think it would be safe to say that I'm a scorchingly handsome guy. Hehe, forgive me for the self-praise; I am generally not one for bragging, but I had to...

Laptops, Smartphones, Tablets - Stupid ancient technology...

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 26 Mar 12

They say early man could never have imagined what it was like to live in the age we do. Well, I think that 'they' are wrong. How do they know there weren't any 'intelligent' early men, who gave the topic considerable thought...

Does the voice in your head sound like your actual voice?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 25 Mar 12

Haha, I know what you're thinking: Is this guy some kind of weirdo? Someone had to ask this question and I thought, why not me? Well, when I say the voice in your head, I mean the voice you use to 'think' with, or read...

Has prayer EVER worked for you?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 25 Mar 12

Don't get me wrong because of the title. I'm not an atheist trying to go about proving anything against any religion. I just am a little curious about this particular subject. I see various people of ENTIRELY different...

Automated thinking processes?!

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 23 Mar 12

Hey everyone, Have you ever faced one of those situations where you were trying to remember something(like a person's name) really hard for minutes together, but it was just impossible to recollect? And then later, when you had...

When was the last time you googled yourself?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 22 Mar 12

It's one of those things every human being with an internet connection would definitely think of doing at least once in their lives, wouldn't you agree? Anyone who says they haven't been struck by this idea yet is probably...

Do you really feel that reality is really as real as it seems?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 20 Mar 12

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one - Albert Einstein. As one might expect, these words have been the cause of a lot of controversy, especially because of the beliefs of various religions. They regard...

How do you recognize beauty?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 16 Mar 12

We all take beauty for granted. You see a good-looking man/woman, and you say "Wow, he/she's hot!". You read a wonderful poem, and exclaim "Oh my God, that was beautiful". You look at a picture of the Sun setting on the...

Grand theft auto : San Andreas

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 10 Mar 12

Hey there Mylotters, I've been playing the classic GTA: San Andreas for a couple of months, all over again, to relive the nostalgia of it all. But there is a mission that is particularly cumbersome. If you guys do remember,...

Would you believe me if I told you that your memory is perfect?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 6 Mar 12

Hey everyone !! It has been proven that the human brain stores every single detail it experiences, through its sensory receptors, namely, the ears, eyes, nose, taste buds, and skin. There are other senses, too, that...

How do you know?

Vvance @Vvance (280) • United States 4 Mar 12

Hi everybody, I've read that your comments or discussions can get deleted at times. Does MyLot inform you when it does this?? If so, where do you see the message? And if not, how would you know if something did get...

When you see a loved die or watch them dying, only then do you release how short life can be and whether you've truly enjoyed it. All kinds of questions pop up in your head,"Have I got enough memories?","Have I really found the...
