It's been a while since I posted here. I used to be a regular and Neufer was a massive part of what made this forum great.

because you are the active ingredient in the situation. i sit on your chair and type on your keyboard but have no real interaction with either in order to produce the required effect. You are the active body in the whole scenario.

not really, in this example, regarding your bugs. I could be a placebo. "I will fix your bugs," i would say, and you would offer me your chair I would sit and the amount of work that would get done would be equal to the centre of a donu. However, also in your example, you are the colloidal...

i feel quite safe, just sitting here blaming my teacher for provding me with a detached ear lobe!

makc, I have plenty of control over my life ; hold on, I did not include you into that group specifically, did I? no need to be defensive. in fact, this whole argument of whether we have control over things... how do I put it, I am not pushing it to certain outcome. it's just that seing one side of...

makc, I have plenty of control over my life ; my life is not my skin, eye, nor hair color. beyond, earlobes are attached, detached (or unattached , I should probably say), or somewhere in between. for some periods of my life I was not in control of my earlobes... rather, my teacher was... and I had...

Aaaahhh... :shock: Happily, that notion is totally absurd. The Earth's rotation rate is actually slowing down, very slowly. Relax and enj...
