x2

Though not just FOBs of the same race. I guess I just don't feel as bad about holding such views about my same race.

I definitely disagree with those who say it has to do with feeling...

This site seems to sell spray-on "liquid chalk":

Never tried it myself though, and not sure if they will disallow that too.

x2, I thought you wanted to do a dance before your workout...

Where are these pics you speak of?

Rudd. I'm surprised there are so many Howard supporters here.

No wai! I showed kyokushin1 standing ab crunch video to my exercise science class for a presentation on proper weight training/resistance training technique lmao. Got huge laughs in class, hes famous...

But that's the whole problem. If consciousness can simply be "programmed", then what does that make God except our programmer?

Well yes it would be impossible to tell for sure, just as I can't say for sure that you have a consciousness.

After having this discussion with you I am pretty sure you have a consciousness....

Do you too think that some day man may be able to artificially create consciousness (e.g. for a robot)? If so, are you an Atheist?

I think that idea conflicts quite a bit with the idea that we...

How is introspection possible if our mind has no effect on our brains?

But surely it must. Are you saying without a "mind" our brains would function in the same way?

heh, I am also studying Computer Science, and was just thinking about making a thread about this very topic.

I think the complete opposite. At least I don't think we will ever be able to...

No it's not a bad analogy. Computer's "think" just like us. You could argue that our thoughts are just a product of our brain's programming (which is what this thread is about). The one thing that...

Maybe the conciousness comes from the brain, but I think it has to be more than just chemical reactions etc. Otherwise, why doesn't our computer have a conciousness (or do you think it does..)?

Let's pretend you were brought up on a completely Christian society and had a strong relationship with God where everyone accepts God as a reality. Someone then told you the world is just the result...

Can you really choose to go against your desires? Or is it just that stronger desires are winning.

You can't necessarily change your beliefs at will. For example if I told you I'd give you $100 to...

If you discount logic what do you have left?

I'm not American, but everyone on the Internetz says Ron Paul is cool!

Well of course I know I am more than just a physical body or a "biochemical robot". I know I have a conciousness.

That said, perhaps my actions are just a product of my desires. I don't think that...

One and a half hours till "the end of the week".
