I saw this on the BBC today and was like WAH? I suppose it's a good thing, bring the expertise together into one company. Maybe the experience of each company will rub off on the others. But then there's the worry that it will dilute the strengths of each business. There could be a whole slew of average games x.x
The more worried people are about their own security the more willing they are to give up their own liberty. Oh dear I appear to have left the door open for the conspiracy theorists =_= No conspiracies here kthxbai
O.O O M G Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu *millions of hugs* WWWWWRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYY?!?!?! *cough* Is there anything in particular you are looking for?
Lol who doesn't ;D
I completely agree with you there ;D Although the original picture was disappointing, someone had scribbled all over it >_>
Guys can kiss each other if they want. It's an expression of affection and who are we to stand in the way of love between humans, whatever its form? Love being a human right and all that.
That made sense xD I am the eldest having a younger brother and a younger sister. Both are annoying in different ways, meaning I receive the full spectrum of annoyance But my sister is definitely the most annoying =_=
It also depends on what you define a 'chicken' as. Chickens were not always as they are now. So if I had to choose I would go with the chicken coming first, as the chicken as we know it would have to be hatched at some point =/
If it does go through we have to make sure people will still know if someone is swearing. What is the point in swearing if no-one knows that you are? =/ Kinda defeats the purpose of using swear words =_=
I keep seeing in diasters and such other things that something is trying to keep our numbers down. Could it be something genetic or a "Mother Nature" type power? Diseases like cancer and HIV/AIDS are on the rise and coupled with the increased frequency of disasters it is having a small effect on our population, but utterly failing to slow its growth =_=
People diss things that others like because they see what they like and belief to be true so they think that you should like and belief the same things as them. Lol, in a way they just want you to be happy or to help you better yourself by choosing the same things as them as they are obviously right because they like it.
The exchange rater between pounds and USD is over 2:1 at the moment. It is actually cheaper to fly to America to do your christmas shopping then do it in the UK. From what I have heard it is mainly due to the sub-prime mortgage market in the US where banks were lending ridiculous amounts of money to people who were high risk. They then sold this bad debt around the world and nearly caused the first British bank to fold in over 100 years =_=
The theories that state that the universe will expand forever base it on the question of is gravity strong enough to hold the universe together? That is where dark matter and dark energy are thrown in ._. The reason the universe is expanding in the first place is because all things seek to reach the most stable state (maximum entrophy?). This means that all the matter and energy in the universe will be spread equally to as small an amount as possible. This will of course mean there is not enough energy in one place to sustain anything, never mind life.
Very interesting theory. I think it is pretty sound except for the possibility that the universe is going to expand infinitely and so a cycle would not be possible. But you are right in saying that everything before would be destroyed and in essence a new universe would be created. I think something like the universe can never be understood by beings as limited in their existance as we are. It is at least very difficult (or impossible) for us to think of something as infinite as the universe (or anything infinite for that matter). I have more but lunch calls =_=
It wasn't so much that we didn't know it existed, it was more we knew something was there, we just couldn't explain it. We knew it was there because we could see its effects through the wind and feeling something come into our bodies when we breathe. That is the start of scientific method, the gathering of evidence through observations. Then empirical testing and experimentation can take place to gather more evidence. Unfortunately nothing can ever be proved, only disproved.
Define "miracle". Many people will interpret events differently, and that is where one of the problem lies with religion, people interpret it differently. As for Christian science, is that the belief in God through the use of scientific method? To make this at least a tiny bit on-topic, one thing that bothers me about creationism (the Christian theory) is that why did God decide to create life in the first place? He couldn't have been bored, curious, lonely or just being random as God does not have random thoughts. What benefit would he gain from creating life? Also, if God created the Earth, what was the point in creating the rest of the universe? All of this seemingly pointless and redundant creation doesn't seem like something created by a perfect being.
I thought talking about piracy wasn't allowed on this site? D:
Miracles are supernatural meaning they are outside of nature meaning they are outside of the laws of physics meaning they are impossible. Also, yes quite often there is a scientific explaination. But there are also things out there that can't be explained which is why im agnostic and not full blown atheist. There is so much mystery out there, science is just a light to help us see through the mystery and try to make sense of it all, to add a bit of order to the chaos. Really religion and science offer two ways to the same end, to try and explain everything around us. To try to make sense of it all. One uses a higher power the other uses scientific method.
The universe is, well, infinite. It is just there. There is no scientific explaination (as far as I am aware, please correct me if there is) as to where matter and energy cam from. Although there are theories that state that universes are created when black holes are created, at the end of each one is a new universe. This could be how ours was created, but it still doesn't define a definite start of anything. There will be no way of knowing, it happened so very far in the past it would be impossible to discover. Also I would like to point out that just because science has yet to explain something does not automatically mean that there is some form of higher power. Magic started out as unexplained science.
UPDATE: The woman has been given 15 days in jail. However protestors in Sudan have been calling for her to be executed. The international community (including most other Muslims) having been calling for her release and she is appealing the sentence. Yet again an over-sensitive religion with a group of hard-liners and extremists has damaged its own image and therefore the image of millions of innocent Muslims around the globe by being over-zealous idiots =/ Will they ever learn............
