I have done some thinking lately about free will and I just want to hear other people's opinion. What do you think about free will? Do we have it or are we just stuck in an infinite chain of causation based on the events that...

zstang777 I would ask you to read my comment above. If you have any further comments please do! Like I said, I am not against that idea, it just doesn't make sense. I find it impossible to have free will when we were created, with God knowing what we will do according...

zstang777 Ok, I understand this point but (and I am most certainly not totally discarding faith and whatnot, just for clarity.) my issue with this approach if that God is said to know exactly how our lives will play out. He knows what we will do so, in my definition, is...

zstang777 I agree with you. I don't necessarily believe in the end point thing but I like the way they use it as a description for the pattern of the universe. You see patterns all around the universe that all seem interconnected to a bigger picture, that I believe...

zstang777 I am the same way. I spend my spare time doing nonsensical research about crazy but interesting theories. With that in mind, another one that has kept its place in my mind for a while is the Timewave Zero Theory. I won't even try to explain it but it is...

zstang777 It is said to be the pattern of the universe in a sense. It is a design that I am sure you have seen somewhere. It is used to explain how everything in the universe has some sort of circularity. It's difficult to explain in depth. It is very interesting...

zstang777 This is exactly my thought. It is near impossible to prove either side of the argument but if their are any other thoughts I would like to hear them. Upon further interest I found the Flower of Life theory which is pretty interesting too if you like...

zstang777 robspeakman, I would really enjoy knowing why you think so. If you would care to share.

zstang777 Maybe you were predetermined to think and act just as you just stated? The events that have happened in your life caused you to say and do those exact things possibly?

I have been thinking lately about happiness and what not, but I keep getting stuck. I know this is cliche but why do people just blow off the idea that life is too short to be sad. When I say sad or unhappy I generally mean...

zstang777 This is exactly how I feel about most of society. I am glad that someone feels the same as I do. Some people just insist on making themselves and everyone around them sad. I don't need people like that in my life. I want to be around positive and happy...

zstang777 I know exactly what you are saying and their is truth in it, and I am not saying their is not a time to be unhappy because obviously their is. I don't agree with staying negative which I think is the problem in this whole discussion. Negativity is...

So I have a 93 cobra mustang (profile pic ;]) and I love it. 5 speed manual and rear wheel drive. That mixed with a ton of torque equals perfect drift car. So does anyone else have a perfect drift car? And if so what is it and do...

zstang777 It is very addicting but I think it is definitely a hobby worth looking into. It's almost like skateboarding. It's something you can add your own style to. It's awesome getting friends to go drifting and seeing how each other have different styles. You learn a...

So I was just laying here reading through some posts when I received a text. I rolled on my back to answer the text. As I was texting with my phone above my face it suddenly slipped out of my hand and landed square on my forehead....

zstang777 The horrible thing is that it is not my first time doing this! I have done this many times before! I guess I am just a stubborn person and I don't learn after the first time. I guess I should work on it more before it happens again... =]

zstang777 I guess it is just my luck! This type of thing happens to me all the time. I am sure it will happen again and I will have to post about it again. -.- Oh well. It happens. Hopefully it never happens to you and you will keep this on your mind if you happen to...

So I happened upon this theory called Timewave Zero Theory. From what I have read so far it seems at least somewhat reasonable and interesting. I am just wondering if anyone has done any research on this theory or if anyone has...

zstang777 So, this is a theory created by Terence McKenna that does a few things. It creates a fractal function that was derived from a sequence of the I Ching hexagrams, which are a series of hexagrams that were found throughout China that dated back to a few...

zstang777 Drifting is by far one of the most thrilling things I have ever done. I first got my car when I was 16 and started drifting when i was 17. Now I am hooked. Whenever the roads are a little wet or it's cold out I just have to make time to go out and slide....
