Quote from: "JoeBobSmith"The psychopath probably doesn't know he is one......So? I was asking you to expand on why he was classifiable as psychopath, as opposed to just a cold-hearted bastard.
QuoteLike a snake doesn't know he's a snakeSnake doesn't know you refer to it as "snake". How does a snake not know it is a snake though?
Quotebut he does what a snake does because he's hardwired for itLet us not forget softwiring. A snake is not quite as simple as a collection of reflexes.

Answer the question related to this one, will you? If you want to discuss me, make an appropriately named thread and I may indulge you with a fact or two.
EDIT: Come to think of it... You quote yourself in your signature..? The wisdom of those words is... Indescribeable in its absense.

I was talking to my dad about this because he had Springer on (yes, he apparently watches it all the time for some reason). We determined it is for the free vacation because it's probably the only way they could ever afford a vacation.

Indeed. We have willingly been without cable since November and I don't miss it at all. There are only a few shows we catch via the internet but if I couldn't watch them it wouldn't be the end of the world. And this is why Hulu will fail if they decide to go too heavy on the paid side of their offerings. I think more and more people are realizing there just isn't as much need for tv these days; you can find all sorts of entertainment online and there is even this thing called real life where you can do stuff that doesn't involve a glowing box (though that has been a rare event for me recently).

Quoting yourself in a signature is... Weird. When the signature is written by you, you just drop the quotes and name. For instance, I would make one saying Smoking is bad. So what?! rather than "Smoking is bad. So what?!" -Asmodean
That said, no, we are not just some piece of shit randomly floating in outer space, but that's basically saying "water's not dry". For one, outer space being that which surrounds our planet, our solar system, galaxy or universe, depending on your scale, we are still in the Earth's inner space, that being that, which is within the atmosphere. For two, we are not randomly floating in it. We have a trajectory which is highly predictable. And because of gravity, we are not exactly floating in the inner space either. For three, "we" can hardly be one piece of shit, yes?

I'm surprised television even exists anymore. There are far too many informative and entertaining videos on the internet for free now. Though, I'm worried that with the sudden increase in advertisements on YouTube that it may go the same way hulu is. (I never used hulu, actually.)
It wasn't too many years ago when you could actually find something interesting and at least somewhat educational. PBS had some great programming, and I remember when I was a little guy watching Bill Nye The Science Guy, and then on to Nova. but you don't see that anymore. Hell, the cartoons have even dropped in quality. We've gone from things like Popeye (Which I would STILL watch.) to every Japanese wet dream imaginable. It's no wonder the average IQ is dropping at an alarming rate.
Annnd as far as the outside world is concerned, I get plenty of that every day. I'm actually building my own house right now out of cob.

I guess quality is being decreased for the sake of quantity.

Ah, I watched some reruns of Thundercats once. 80's cartoons were great, too. Smurfs, especially. (I think that was in the 80's.)
And I only watch tv now when I'm working out at night, and it's usually Food Network or National Geographic. Though I get sick to my stomach seeing some of the stuff people are willing to eat sometimes.

The job of science is to tell us what things are, how they work etc...not to make value judgments.
Seems awfully silly to criticize a whole field of study simply because it doesn't do what it wasn't intended to do.

Quote from: "JoeBobSmith"im trying to convey the way science like to break down life into it's building blocks...devaluing to say "a piece of shit". but life happens to be much for than the sum of it's partsIt also encompasses the functions and interactions of and between the named parts and their surroundings and the results thereof, in broad definition, something which has, to my knowledge, not been denied by any semi-serious scientist. Of course, one can make a distinction between life and the act of living, but that's a different story.
