I'm a Christian and I want to be in love with someone who had the same faith as I have but unfortunately it did not happen; instead, I have fallen in love with an agnostic guy. We are so in love with each other but when...

The world around you exists because you exist

shioan @shioan (22) • Philippines 19 Jan 09

Have you ever thought that maybe the world around you exists because everything is just in all in your mind? And that when you die, everything else goes with you. That they exist because you exist. That the world revolves around...

thorell On a philosophical level, this is identical to the world as we see it. Existence in this universe is defined by the reality of your experience both in your proposed circumstance and in the one we assume is true. As far as we know or are concerned, matter and...

thorell In modern times, with all we know about brains and behavior, we realize scientifically that there are many ways to instill discipline in a child. Some of them work better than others, and spanking doesn't seem to work at all. When a child is spanked, the...

Smoking make me sick

fadimichael @fadimichael (34) • United States 29 Feb 08

It's strange how people know that smoking is bad for them yet still smoke. 100 years ago people didn't know that tobacco consumption was not good for their health. But now, almost every body knows that smoking can cause a variety...

thorell There is a clear stigma against smoking. I eat red meat even though it's bad for me. I drive a car fully aware of the danger I put myself in. No one protests sports despite the risk of injury inherent in the pass-time. Each individual is responsible for...
