Which leads us back to B-IV's question. For example, discerning the true meaning of someone else's utterances or writings/typings. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

I was wondering when someone was going to get back on topic! I vaguely remember a line in the movie "Ground Hog Day" where Bill Murray's character says something to the effect that God appears to be "all knowing" because he's everywhere and has been around so long. I do not think that all things can be known, at least by mortals, simply because data storage is finite. |

That,s the mystery and mystique of mechanics...A realm that men alone can experience and enjoy. The AA men always fix my car for me...and they are always very polite and helpful and always give me their phone numbers incase I need to call them back for anything. ..but nevermind car mechanincs, according to Quantum Mechanics we can't know everything. ..and Sarge II must know more about Chaos theory than me, but I understood that you can prove that there are certain systems whos behaviour cannot be predicted. So in the end it has nothing to do with the human brain. Some things are just unknowable. Reality Internet Personality |

This is one of the limitations of humanity I had in the back of my mind when debating Chuck over in the religion thread. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

So in the end it has nothing to do with the human brain. Some things are just unknowable. Well, there's a lot of mathematics out there, and I do not claim to have a deep knowledge about every single bit of it. Here's one related piece of info. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Chaos.html Being sensitive to the initial condition of the system (so that initially nearby points can evolve quickly into very different states), a property sometimes known as the butterfly effect, and Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

no man can know what pregnancy or child birth is like, and the same for a woman, she'll never know what the male orgasm is like. just 2 things that put an end to this question once and for all, "no" all things cannot be known i would love to see how they plan to download a female reproductive system to a guy, and then watch him give birth, think you have to be the guy i am chatting with on messenger just now he sure aint on this plannet either: axeman***: hello asksam2: hi axeman***: Are you the one on profile? asksam2: no i am a 400 year old gay gobblin from mars, you reached the wrong number, dail again omitting the plannet code axeman***: what? axeman***: dialing axeman***: ... axeman***: you sound hilarious asksam2: no humor or intelligence i see axeman***: what? axeman***: you talk like you are not feeling well asksam2: thank god seti is looking to the stars for intelligence, sure aint any on earth axeman***: aha axeman***: where are you located in the UK?

Except in the future when it becomes possible to download our experiences onto a computer to share with others. Well I was talking about the experience direct from the brain..there would be no need to actually download the whole reproductive system of a woman into a guy..but it might be worth doing just for the laughs. (I don't know if you've ever given birth yourself..but it's bloody painful, I'd rather have my legs broken than go through that again.) think you have to be the guy i am chatting with on messenger just now he sure aint on this plannet either: I might suggest you are more choosy about who you talk to on messenger. There are some right nutters out there. Reality Internet Personality |
