Andy9o8 2 #27 January 22, 2007 QuoteQuoteIt is not possible to know the future, case closed. That's an astoundingly confident statement about the future. Agreed. You'd get your ass seriously kicked in a philosophy class saying that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #28 January 22, 2007 I gotta say, I'm astounded by the debate. But I'll go out on a limb here and made a statement: I feel very strongly that psychotics are bad. Pretty well any type of seriously disturbed psychotic should seek treatment and/or incarceration in order to protect the rest of us from their knife wielding, axe swinging, urges of death and terrorization. ...

kallend 2,113 #29 January 22, 2007 QuoteI've seen shows where the police supposedly consulted psychics on cold cases. I always thought those shows were bullshit on a par with that alien autopsy film a few years back. Would cops actually seriously consult psychics & launch an expensive search based on what the psychic said?? Don't forget Ronald Reagan!...

kallend 2,113 #30 January 22, 2007 Here's a nice physics problem: An electron beam with energy 20,000 eV enters a face centered cubic crystal with lattice parameter 0.404nm. What is the smallest angle through which the electron beam can be diffracted by the crystal?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I will predict the future for you - everyone currently posting on this board will be dead by the year 2200. Predicting and knowing are not the same thing. You can predict that everyone will be dead by 2200 but you can not know everyone will be dead by 2200."That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcimund 0 #32 January 22, 2007 QuoteDon't forget Ronald Reagan! I think it's usually thought that Nancy was the one who consulted psychics. Ronald just consulted Nancy. But that reminds one of the current president. He consults a supernatural being. How is that different from claiming to be psychic?
