  1. Max's Gamma Radiation

    Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!! About the rest of this discussion, debating is good and thought provoking but fighting is stupid! Nevertheless I'm very intrigued by the physics!
  2. Happy Birthday Yoda and Mantra68!

    I hope you both have a wonderful birthday!
  3. Do you make your bed?

    What constitutes a waste of time? I've only made my bed a couple of times in my life (mostly when I was younger) because I always thought it was a waste of time (I'm kinda lazy too). You're going to mess it up sooner or later only to remake again, ect... So why do it? Is it to show that you're responsible to your parents when you're young or maybe to help you along with the rest of the social standards of your environment. Either way I see no point and wonder why it's done! The time wasted making your bed everyday adds up and probably could of been used for something more useful! **edit** now that I think about it I probably should have posted this in the off-topic section, sorry!
  4. Not from anyone I personally know but from multiple people off of internet forums (which I always take with a grain of salt) that he has a huge ego and always talks about himself. I normally wouldn't believe in sh*t talking but I've heard it multiple times so that definitely influences me, I'm obviously still not sure though as I've never met him. It's like using Amazon.com feedback, you read all the comments about a book that people left to get a feel for it.
  5. I've always wanted to take Ba Gua, I think it's an awesome art! The first time I actually heard about it was while reading BKF's book " The Power of Internal Martial Arts: Combat Secrets of Ba Gua, Tai Chi, and Hsing-I", this is an amazing book and the book that turned me onto all internal arts! I'd love to study with BKF but all of his classes are way to expensive and I've heard some bad things about him but I'm not sure how true they are.
  6. My name is Jim :P

    My late introduction! I'm a more of a lurker at first. I became interested in philosophy about 7 months ago after taking some yoga classes. I've read a little bit about Buddhism, Daoism, and Hinduism, needless to say I'm very interested! I loved taking the yoga classes, I felt amazing afterwards and it also got me up off my lazy butt, which is one of my problems (a lot of my hobbies addictions include sedentary activities: reading, being a computer geek, watching tv...). I don't go to yoga anymore because it's really expensive but I want to start my own practice including meditation very soon, the only problem is it's really hard to change some of my bad habits but I'm working on it! I'm also extremely interested in Asian culture, I've been a Japanophile for many years but for the last couple of years have started getting into other cultures such as: China, Korea, and India.
