I know everything about everything. - Debate me about anything.
 

And go...

Why did 50 Cent's stupid ass decide to battle Wu Tang?

Debate on 50's side. Dare ya.

50 decided to DO BATTLE with Wu because he is a dumbass man child looking for publicity. Thats about the best way to sum it up that I can think of.

does time have a linear existence if we aren't here to measure it?

Debate and win all of WendyCal's arguments to Sleepy Jack... And GO!

If life was a snail and it was surrounded by salt who do you believe would play santa in the year 2042 ?

Assuming time is linear, yes. It isn't like if we stopped existing everything else would stop existing with it, just our perception of it. However as long as events happen, even without anything to witness or measure them, there is necessarily a time at which it happened. Human activity and perception do not determine the existence of nor the order in which events happen. With or without us time would remain the same.

Thats the easy part. The hard part would be doing it without him banning me.

John Edlund.

What is an event? For an even to be an event, does it not need to be observed? That seems to be implicit in the definition. If everything we know is the result of observation, how can we possibly know what is beyond the realm of observation? Also, you say that human activity cannot determine the order in which events occur. That's just not true, Einstein proved that there was no such thing as synchronicity and that seeing two events as simultaneous depends on your reference frame/speed.

Perhaps event is the wrong word. However if an apple falls out of a tree and no sentient thing is there to witness it, it still occurred. Which was my point, something doesn't need to be witnessed for it to happen.

Oh so deep man. Welcome to science.

Relativity accounts for observation and basic senses, however I'm inclined to disagree with it accounting for "real" time. If you moved fast enough around something you could technically see yourself in two places, but you wouldn't actually say you're in two places. I do suppose there is a sort of perceptive relative time though.

Why doesn't something need to be witnessed to happen? How can you have an object without a subject? Now you're trying to distinguish between relativity and "real" time, but how can you have any sort of objective time... consider if the universe were a movie and you were God watching it. You could play it in fast forward or slow it down, and it would be the exact same, none of the characters in the movie would be able to tell. It only makes sense to talk about the "speed of change" if your perception relies on that very change. Time is a concept which we have invented and can barely define, it dies with us.

So did the anything ever come into being? I don't think the first life form witness what was before it.
Grass.

This assumes a whole lot. It assumes a force outside of the natural universe. One for which there is no such proof, therefore one I will not consider the effects of on the natural universe.

No it doesn't. I was just showing that all measurements are relative to the observer. Time is the most subjective thing there is, it has to be experienced or it means nothing.

Unfan, CA is right.
What he's saying is that time is relative to the individual.
And he's not talking hypothetically either. It's a scientific fact.

i agree, except replace experienced with accepted, and now we're in business.


time has to be accepted as real by an entity for it to become real. if someone thinks "i don't need a measurement by which to govern the span of my existence, so what's the point in creating one?", then time means nothing.

Ok Unfan, Dwayne Wade or LeBron James?

this is a pretty moot point, but if time is subjective, then wouldn't the decision not to adopt time involve recognizing time as something which exists, albeit only on a subjective level? in which case, even by denying time you're affirming it. you can refuse to recognize time but you can't really refuse to experience it, except maybe through suicide.

maybe i was trying to say that the decision was innate or unconcious, but since i don't believe in either of those theories or the semantics that go along with them, i'll just say that time is not necessarily something that you can actively deny, but something you just naturally ignore.

Or until you die of old age.

I agree with you that time as we use it ie; 20.48 for this post...is an abstract concept.
But there's no way we can ignore time. If we didn't exist, time would continue in it's many forms, regardless.

that depends, do animals have the cognitive ability to recognize their own aging, or do they only know that they have become weaker without knowing why?

Explain to me how it is logically possible to believe a god is a man or a woman and not a higher being that has no gender.

The same way how Bono can wear pink sunglasses, and nobody calls him ***.

The thread was two pages and you still managed to succesfully not read it. I acknowledged relative time.

Last time I cared that basketball existed Michael Jordan would've been the answer to this question. Space Jam > these new cats.

By believing in multiple gods/goddesses who have reproductive systems.

I thought you would argue on 50's side.

Since I hate both acts I'll try. 50 Cent made a passive joke in one of his songs, whatever member of Wu got butthurt and cried about it in a song. This sparked a very long and heated short lived rivalry.

You don't know my exact frame of mind at this time. You don't know my eldest son's middle name or the town I was born.

You avoided the question.

Why do people think the movie Drumline is so good?

I'll go with James. He has that intimidation factor.

It was well marketed and youths are dumb.

You win at this thread. But if I had to take a guess Manchester is the answer to all 3.

Because Nick Cannon is cool.

why would anyone name his son Pilot Inspektor?

Because thats a badass name.

On the contrary, regardless of what Bono wears over his eyes...

You're a good man, even if I like Wu Tang.

Does this mean 50 Cent and the Wu Tang Clan have had time travelling technology all this time and didn't tell us? Bastards...

Why Texas?
I live there, I know it's a piece of **** and it's mostly populated by god-fearing white trash....:laughing:
But there are MUCH worse places in the good ol' U.S.A.
like Utah, Utah sucks.

I'm being punk as shit and rebelling against trends. Fight the power!

Are you ever appealed by the Nietzschean concept of man and superman?

Darkseid must be stopped!

superman is so not beyond good and evil
