there are mechanisms in your brain to turn off your physical reactions to your dreams, but they don’t always work. Some people run/kick etc when the signals still get through.. I'd have to dig out my biology books to give you the scientific name for those mechanisms. Are you saying you've never woken up angry or elated from something that happened in your dreams? I've been blamed for things i did in other peoples dreams and i didn’t always have anything to do with it. As a lucid dreamer i use my dreams and how i feel about what happens in them to work things out in 'real life'. you do feel when you get mad, your body temperature rises, your heart pounds and your lungs expand as your brain releases chemicals... Anger certainly causes observable physical reactions even without any physical reason (assault etc) to be angry. I don’t admire those who react primarily on emotions at all. Emotions are easily and often unconsciously manipulated, both by yourself and others who pay attention to such things. You have very little control over the emotions you actually feel, instead you have control over how you react to those emotions. Contrariwise (sorry i love that word) You have nearly complete control over your thought/reasoning process. Not the idle 'hmm i want to go somewhere do something" kinds of thoughts but your actual decision making process, more accurately called 'Reason' than simply 'thought'... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

if they were stupid enough to trust the government in doing a job like this, without backing up any and all evidence they had that they were working for them somewhere else, with someone else who could corroborate their story and take it the US media if necessary to pull their ass out of a sling…. i have little sympathy for them.... don’t dance with the devil if you don’t have an escape plan... What makes you believe they had ANY credible leads on Osama? Sounds like they didn’t think ALOT of things through very well. i'm not sure i'd give them credit with being smart/aware enough to track & catch Osama....they seem pretty gullible based on the news reports. Trust the government? OUR government… lol… i can almost imagine them being used as 'bait' but when their actions got out of hand and became an embarrassment....... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

All emotions are chemical reactions, why would you expect your body NOT to react to them? one of the primary reasons why I have an inherent distrust of those who place/value feeling over thought/reasoning. "Really? ok lets change your feeling with this shot... would you still make the same choice?" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

there is nothing 'idiotic' about getting rid of a bad (or what you perceive as bad) leader. I'm sure ALOT of people wish we had better choices, but when has an election NOT been about choosing the lesser of two evils? after all they are all politicians, most of whom have never worked a real day in their lives... Most people i've talked to (on any side of the fence) ARE voting for who they believe will fuck up the country less....sad but true... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

middle one definitely.. the one on the right??? you know the mother from the movie 'Brazil' who's had three to many facelifts?? scary... this is a simply lovely smile...i once got into an obscene amount of trouble for a smile like that...tall you say? hmm what school is this? i need to tour the south again p.s. NEVER ask for opinions on the internet if you aren’t prepared for some (really) negative ones, even in jest. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

unfortunately it doenst matter whos butt is in the chair he's still going to get paid an awful lot more than any one that does any real work for the government... honestly IMO elected officials should have their expenses paid and then be given a salary above that based on the average income for the jurisdiction they represent... i think you'd find the lawyers leaving the profession like rats from a sinking food crate... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

lets not forget the soldiers out dying in the mess those same politicians create.. if this really suprises you your forgetting the one great prinicple that the US government functions under..

who do you think has more black velvet paintings dedicated to them? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

me? I'm more a Beatles fan, maybe because my mother absolutely burned me out on Elvis while i 'discovered' the Beatles for myself. tunes? Beatles: Tomorrow never knows Elvis: Guitar Man or A little Less Conversation... of course one advantage of the Beatles is more of their songs actually ARE their songs ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

your on going argument with Tuna in this thread could be considered one example.... i could pour gas on either side really, but its progressing rather well and i'm impressed with the depth of research your doing.. the bible certainly helps many once they find God themselves, I've got 3 (4 if you count the Boomer, but i wouldnt really.. God is there too but shes laughing more than anything else ) sitting behind me and pick them up on occasion for new insights as well, but the signal to noise ratio is just to low for many i've met to start there.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

God! how i hated the movie version.... so many changes to the whims of political correctness it completely ruined the story... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Pretty tough restriction you've put on yourself but it's still possible.

somewhat related as i believe have seen a few painting but cant recall where of chinese 'jumpers' going off cliffs with multiple large baskets/umbrella's in their hands... I'm I just imagining this or has anyone else seen these? an even older history of BASE? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

doesnt look that way. Given the difference in pay scales it doesnt bother me to much though... that and i love my infinity and will buy another when i need/want it... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

congrates on another carve around the sun..... judging from another thread this is the lap in which you discover the meaning of life? to you! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

What if you are wrong? Are you prepared to spent enternity paying for that wrong decision? I have no issues there at all. It isn’t a decision, it never was. I have known since i first drew breath I was part and parcel of divinity, never separate, no blood sacrifice necessary. Nothing I've heard in any Christian church has affected that knowledge in any way, shape, or form. I've met some amazing people there (and some complete dicks, usually the ones screaming about how i'm damned for all time, because i cant buy their dogma, question its assertions and help others to see God for themselves, without the dogma and filter of a church to paint her for them) but the experience there has certainly helped me to learn quite a few things about real nature of religion (it has little to do with God and everything to do with Man.) The basic assertions of christianity (original sin, separation from God, associated guilt etc) are so fundamentally flawed i've had difficulty not laughing them and the zeal with which others declare themselves in possession of sole Truth and salvation, even as a young child... you might as well ask me if i'm prepared for the sun not to rise in the morning... It is a meaningless question. Eternity is a long time, there are quite a number of things to do, and quite a few paths to walk before I reach it's end, becoming a christian isn’t one of them. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

You may not believe it to be true, but that doesn't make it so. perhaps you should look up the definition of History? very few verifiable events occur in the bible, very little of it qualifies... do you believe Jesus (the semi-verifiable man) actually said all the words written in red in some versions of the text? please.... at best the majority qualifies as historical fiction, but there is no argument that it is literature from any front. or perhaps you believe the Edda's are History too? how about every other religious mythos in existence with the same (or better in some cases) level of verifiable facts?? all history? even when they disagree?? please.... hell by the 'standard' you apparently accept, Hamlet is history too, as is Richard the III and every other 'historical' play Shakespeare wrote, we can prove just about as much of it REALLY occurred. Having a historical basis is NOT the same as History. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

um no, its not, it is literature, but it is NOT history.. you may believe it to be true, but that does not make it so... emotional reading by great actors doesn’t change that fact at all... Hell, James Earl Jones makes the yellow pages sound good. keep your prayers, well wishes are nice, but "save their heathen souls" ROTFLMAO.. my soul is in no jeopardy, I have never been separated from God and I never will be, I have no Sin that needs a blood sacrifice to be cleansed. If it takes fear and guilt to motivate you to become a better person?? that in and of itself is truly sad.... but perhaps the ends do justify the means, you chose the means that motivate you, but they do not apply to anyone other than yourself, no matter how often you assert it, or how many times you claim "MY MYTHS ARE TRUTH!!!" and attempt to force your version of truth on the rest of the world... how little you know and how much you condemn..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

OMG that's to funny... I nearly sprayed beer i'm laughing so hard... such self righteous indignation! rotflmao... thanks i needed that... that is the kind of free publicity Metal bands used to LOVE to get from small town preachers... everytime one started burning records and throwing a hissy 50 more albums sold....to bad it wasnt more mainstream... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
