To think that George Clooney was originally thought of as doing the voice of Optimus Prime. I'm quite happy that they decided to return to the original roots of Transformers and get Peter Cullen to do a reprise of good ol' Optimus. Hugo Weaving is always good, so there shouldn't be any problems with him being Megatron. I also find it interesting that Bumble Bee won't have a voice, and will instead speak using his radio.
Sweet Caroline, what a great musician! On a random note, Will Ferrell was amazing as him on SNL. I too can turn invisible if I try really hard.
We need to make some co-op vids man....and post them.
The basic components of our eyes are still found in the simple multi-cellular organisms. The basic photo-receptors (structures that capture light) and the nerves that connect to them can be found in Flat Worms.
There's always room for reform, the problem is that people want a quick solution and they want it cheap (i.e. no tax hike to reform convicted criminals). As always I look at it like Health Care, especially since there isn't any capital punishment in Canada. The American government could easily invest money into rehabilitation programs, but sadly that would mean parting with a few of their shiny new military weapons and defense programs. God knows that'll never happen with a Republican government running the show.
If God knows what we're going to do and he is all-loving, all-powerful why does he still allow unspeakable evil to happen? Well, if I were you I would argue that God would like there to be some evil in the world so as to help build our souls and make us stronger and firmer believers as human beings. Of course than I would have to ask what exactly is so soul-improving about a father's conscious decision to murder his entire family and then take his life? Why couldn't God give us free will where we always freely choose to do good. Then again I think of God as the most irrational thing to ever be conceived in this universe. You're not all that absolute if you go from malevolent and genocidal to all-loving and compassionate 600 pages later. If there is a powerful being out there there's nothing that says that it is God and that it is perfect in any way.
No one ever wants to get an abortion, but life tends to throw very ugly curves at people and there are some that are placed in situations that are worse than others. The whole point of abortion is not to set up a booming industry where people can stop by at a drive thru window and have "Little Johnny or Jenny Unwanted" removed, it's about giving people who for, whatever serious situation they are in, need another option when they simply can't go through with having the child (for meaningful reasons of course). People here have said that even if the child is a result of rape that the kid should be brought into a nuturing home and loved, etc. Hey, if there's an adequate system, maybe they can even be adopted. Well I apologize but this isn't a Leave-it-to-Beaver world. From an objective point it's easy to say that the rape victim should go through with the birth, but subjectively the woman is in such horrible and psychological conflict that the world is never the same for quite a long time. Granted, I'm sure some women have gone serious Mother Theresa on the situation and actually taken care of and nutured a child that is a product of rape-- after all some people can take a bad song and make it better. However, most women see it as a reminder that what was done to them was "okay" in some sort of twisted reasoning. Sad in its own way, yes, but rape is a very traumatic thing.
We actually we do use 100% of our brain. The whole point of most psychological and neurophysiological fields is just to understand how things work, or the basis through which we are able to perform cognitive tasks. As of now only "paranormal psychology" studies the "full potential" of the brain, but it has yet to provide any substantial evidence. In fact, it isn't even counted as a real science. The evolutionary of the mind/brain may produce something like telepathy thousands of years from now, but it seems highly unlikely. Deja Vu is an interesting occurrance that is being studied by some minor fields in psychology, and it has been speculated that such events are a result of minor lapses in the temporal lobe-- it's basically the part of the brain that integrates what we sense in our environment and organizes it in a way we are able to understand and perceive. But as of now seeing as deliberately "playing around" wit hthe physical and functional aspects of a person's temporal lobe is unethical, there aren't many evidential findings that give a real explanation to Deja Vu. As for the darkness in your room, you just have a very healthy and active imagination. Perception tends to change when sensation changes. The dilation in your pupils in a dark room can sometimes play tricks with your eyes,
Advice is cool and all, but in reality there are going to be some things that are best said to a guidance councilor or parent. It's always best for someone to confide in a friend, loved one, or some one with more experience than to toss their laundry onto a public forum where thousands of eyes can view it.
Naruto is pretty bad. If anything they should've just overlooked his use of "dattebayo" instead of having him say "believe it"(?). Regardless the voice acting is shoddy at best. Gundam Seed was also done quite badly in my opinion as well.
Cause and effect chains have the capacity to be finite or infinite, not circular. They can extend as far into the present or future but never touch. Time travel doesn't reshape the fabric of reality or the universe so as to produce something as profound as changing the last effect into the first cause. It simply enables you to go as far as the first or last event of the cause/effect chain (providing that the cause/effect chain isn't infinite). In a sense you're just standing outside of time's natural course and traveling in it, you're not manipulating it in anyway. Any changes to the cause and effect chain that resides in the space-time continuum affect history (if such a thing is possible) not time itself.
