Treason far worse than murder?

1 year 9 months ago

"The ninth circle in Dante's hell is as follows:

Caina: traitors to their kindred
Antenora: Traitors to their country
Ptolomea: Traitors against hospitality
And the deepest is Judeca: traitors to benefactors (the worse of the worse, where lucifer, brutus, casius and judas live)

I reckon betrayal is far worse than homicide since it compromises the life of many people.

Is Aldrich Ames the spy you're talking about?"

"@Astrologica, If you take the combinations into acount it would be even less probable because you'd have to take into account all the other combinations that wouldn't give you the same meaning. If the combinations that have the same meaning are greater than those that don't then you cannot rely on it and it means whatever prediction you made is mere speculation."

Vestigial Organs

1 year 9 months ago

"The gall bladder is useful, it stores bile salts which are mainly composed of cholesterol, thus, they are amphipathic (have both polar and non polar parts). They are used to make little droplets out of droplets of fat so lipases in the gut have access to triacylglycerols and can break them down to fatty acids that can be taken and metabolised.

Evolution is unlikely to occur the way you have suggested, as you mentioned, having an organ with no function is a waste of energy and metabolites so all the individuals among the population would have advantage over the one who has it (assuming it's even possible).

"@ Astrologica, I think plunkies is right here, those oracles provide "predictions" that are too ambiguous and that's how they manage to be "accurate". (e.g. "something good will happen", "If you try hard, you'll succeed", etc.)

You mentioned that you put energy into the cards, what type of energy are you talking about?

You do know the basis of scientific procedure, here is a simple test that you can perform at home to prove whether or not they work (BTW I don't know anything regarding how to read them nor the meaning):

-Ask the cards three times for the same matter, from what I read in wikicrap and assuming we base the result in a single card the probability of getting the same result 3 times in a row is:

(1/56)^3 = 5.694 x 10^-6

i.e. the probability of getting the same result is 1/175616 which seems really unlikely. BUT if you get the same result the three times it would suggest that it works (note that if you base the resul in a combination of cards it becomes even more unlikely).

-Now, when asking them, ask for something at short term and not ambigous so you can make sure whether or not it works.

And finally:
1. the fact that "important" people who have their personal gipsy (assuming there are people who actually do, 'cause you didn't provide any evidence) doesn't mean they aren't ignorant people.
2. Being opend minded doesn't mean to take everything for granted and true."

"@Vidofnir, You should demand your school and biology teacher , they were crap.

Uh, I guess your not human because the last time I checked that is something humans are known for, emotions.
I have seen one of those PETA videos before and it did make me feel like shedding a tear. But, I cant change what I eat after 19 years. Now I dont know how old some of the vegetarians were when they chose to be one but if they were around there late teens then I respect them because that must take a lot of will power. I dont think I can last with just veggies.

I never said I had no emotions, I said compassion is unnatural and the reason to avoid eating meat from the OP is absurd."

oh and @kieselgurgh. Actually philosophy IS science and ethnics...u should really at least know what philosophy is before you post...look it up

O RLY? I've done science for quite a while and I can tell you that all science follows scientific procedure and looks for knowledge EXPERIMENTALLY.

I also did one year of ethics as elective in high school and I can tell you it is not the same, it is related is true but under the context Chaos wolf stated it, he only talked about ethics, and before trying to correct me please learn to read."

"Do you think lions are concerned about the zebra's feelings as they suffocate the victim, do you think crocodiles are concerned about the pain of their prey as they break and tear their limbs? It doesn't seem to be that way to me. I find your reason for being a vegetarian preposterous. There are good reasons for not consuming meat but certainly this one is absurd, compassion is unnatural."

At some point in the bible god told them that was bad and asked them to not do it again. I guess the best way to understand the judaeo-christian standards is to learn hebrew and study the original text, but I'm too lazy for that so I'll just ask to someone whe seems to know."

"No, angel comes from the greek ἄγγελος which means messenger, so I assume they have a lot of responsibilities.

If you're talking about the Judaeo-Christian version then they are asexual entities who used to copulate with humans and by the way they never were humans. So you have no chance of becoming one of them assuming they existed.
