So I hate chain letters, and usually block people who send them constantly, however my Mom passed this to me, and I have to agree with some of the ideas here. What does everyone else think?:For your…Continue

So I hate chain letters, and usually block people who send them constantly, however my Mom passed this to me, and I have to agree with some of the ideas here. What does everyone else think?:For your consideration...Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You justpass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are…See More
Nick Stephenson replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"I'm not sure who Tom is, but you are incorrect in the assumption that people can't be happy without even their basic needs met. Billions of people around the world live in what is considered poverty and often they report a…"
Nick Stephenson replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"I think you two are saying the same thing in a round about way. Oliver you are correct in the fact that we now have the resources and technology to feed, cloth, house, and educate the entire world right now, but as of the moment, the people who…"
Nick Stephenson replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"Like I said. He was a crook. A war mongering, back alley crook, that has been praised in the school books as one of the greatest presidents, but I find him to be one of the worst things to ever happen to the United States of…"
Nick Stephenson replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"Well written with some good points. However you're wrong my friend. FDR took us off Gold Standard in 1933 in response to the collapse of the banks and the great depression. People were rushing to the banks to cash in their…"
Nick Stephenson replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"Lets hope that it doesn't come down to one person. That always leads to more problems. Great individuals get deified and then we just get dogmatic third party accounts of what happened, what they said, and what it means. It…"

Nick Stephenson replied to The Shiznit's discussion Astronomy Opposes Evolution"Oh, I think you may have interpreted what I said outside of what I was intending. I was trying to say that creationists are attacking the idea that the Universe is a unconscious unfolding of the Universe with no guiding hand behind the majesty…"
Nick Stephenson replied to The Shiznit's discussion Astronomy Opposes Evolution"This was already pointed out, (creationist web-site and the fallacy of using such a source for an article). However you can be broad or specific about the term evolution. It can be specifically towards the rise of life on the planet, but…"
Nick Stephenson replied to Tim Young's discussion Censorship"I think you have approached the subject very wisely. I was brought up in an evangelical home, and it took me 22 years to overcome my indoctrination, so I think you are giving your children a head start. I have to agree that you must…"
Nick Stephenson replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"Oh he's way out there. Some of his stuff is straight up insane but then again he presents it in such a way that it is not invasive, or shocking. He hits with rock solid logic and then follows it up with fairies and elves."

- About Me:
- I am a very curious individual constantly trying to understand the nature of our Universe. I crave knowledge of not only Scientific maps, and theories, but also I find mythology and religion very interesting, and valuable. I don't prescribe to any sort of faith, but think that many underlying tones of ancient mystic theologies are beginning to line up with our current scientific view of the cosmos. I find Hinduism one of the most fascinating, but really, universal themes run throughout all theologies. I seek to better the world as best I can, and create art everyday. I believe creative expression is humanities greatest tool, and wish to see a day that man can transcend the weight of our dogmatic past, and create a future in which humanity recognizes all life, and all of inner and outer space as ONE.
- Favorite music:
- Don't really have a favorite genre, artist, or era but I steer clear of pop-culture and shallow artist that operate more as business men/woman than artists.
- Favorite movies:
- Don't want to waste time listing all the movies I love. The list would take far too long.
- Favorite books:
- Remember: be here now, The Universe in a Nut Shell, Incognito, the I-Ching, The Iliad, The Waste Land, just to name a few. Really I love to read just about anything. Most of I my reading occurs online these days, and I find that more and more of my information comes from videos.
- Goals/Projects/Aspirations:
- I'm an aspiring author and truth seeker. I hope to inspire curiosity in children, and educate them through magical stories with scientific underpinnings. My adult novels aspire to break down cultural, economic, and spiritual barriers that continue to separate and divide mankind.
- Relationship Status:
- In a Relationship

Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."I agree with the principle to an extent. However, in the case of school shooters, I don't think it can be justified. Same with rape. There's definitely a line, but like you said, those are the most extreme cases.

I should also mention that many people regard their way as "the best" way. If you do something a different way, you're shaking that belief, and they become defensive."
