Falcon punch it?

Well, we tend to dismiss the possibility and think of it as sf - but it's happened many times in the past and will happen again. Having said that, I remember at least three end-of-the-world cosmic impacts which were touted as possible, and I still appear to be here.

oh, and I hadn't noticed - 1 more page to 2012 - London Olympics and the End OF The World. Coincidence?

Well, I'm not guarranteeing that it will happen. I just think it's the most likely thing to kill us off completely in the next 20-30 years.

Before I forget. Philosophy is getting interesting. We are currently going over the radical skeptics who believe that we cannot be certain of anything and it's quite interesting.

I think therefore I am a brain in a vat.

I don't beliee in the vat.

so you don't agree with the vat? The object that keeps our brains alive while our bodies decay into dirt.

Ok - assuming you are real and I'm not talking to myself, assuming that what my senses report isn't nonsense (and there is some sort of actual objective reality outside my own awareness), and assuming that the "everybody dies" stuff isn't a part of a vast conspiracy to distract me from the fact that I'm actually immortal, I provisionally believe in my own body (and its mortality) - and probably yours too.

Tell your philosophy lecturer you don't believe in him/her, except as a plausible hypothesis. Come to that, the sentience of philosphy lecturers was still a hung verdict last time I heard.

Hmm...To be honest I don't really agree with the radical skeptics either, I just find their ideas to be quite interesting. Also, it's not exactly something easy to prove right or wrong.

They don't care if you agree with them, they're not sure you're there. If you do agree with them, our agreeing with someone you aren't sure existed - and where does that leave you?

But it is certain that our ideas of the world are distorted at least by our senses - they report nothing of atoms, quantum mechanics, or even (without extensive work on a practical and theoretical basis) the orbits of the planets.

Country more of less depends on who it is. Rap is probably the exception to this rule. There is very little rap that I will listen to.

I can't stand rap. Period.

My music teacher back in middle school was a big rock buff. She really despised rap.

you guys should try to find some Salmonella Dub or Rhombus (New Zealand groups), just some really really nice beats .
