  Creepy, for a second I could smell the Kingdom Hall while reading that. I just weirded myself out. O_O
  
  The question and the answer to the question were equally creepy.

  There once was a witness from Green Bay.
  Who hadn't showered since last Thursday.
  He went to the doors,
  And the smell householders did abhor.
  Thus ends the sermon for the day.
  
  There once was a dude
  Who looked for spiritual food.
  He was sitting by the pool,
  and realized he was a fool.
  So he decided to swim in the nude.
  
  There once was a boy named Fry.
  Who dreamt of rockets in the sky.
  He was frozen one night,
  and awoke to a fright.
  For he saw cars that could fly.

  I had a goatee for about a year or so, and it just got to be too much of a pain, and a mess to keep trimmed so I got rid og it. Later I grew a beard just to see if I could, I did, then shaved it off.

  Will Races Disappear?

  by nvrgnbk in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the world becomes a smaller and smaller place, due to advances in technology, there is increased opportunity for persons of different races and cultures to meet and start families.. will the the differences between the races start to disappear as a result?.

  do you believe this would be a positive or negative development?.

  Aliens,other dimensions, just foolishness? Open ur mind!

  (dr. michio kaku, tells a short story of how fish, naturally moving forward or side to side, with no idea of up, ).

  my own fascination with higher dimensions began early in childhood.

  one of my happiest childhood memories was crouching next to the pond at the famed japanese tea garden in san francisco, mesmerized by the brilliantly colored carp swimming slowly beneath the water lilies.

  It's hard for the human mind to grasp more than the 3+1 dimensions we live in 3 spatial and 1 temporal, but one way to see how an object with more than the usual dimensions might affect our universe you can picture how a two dimensional universe might interact with a three dimensional universe.
  
  So let's say you're a 2 dimensional creature in a 2 dimensional universe, and this universe just happens to be curved around on itself in a third dimension. If you were to travel in a (as far as you knew) straight line in this universe you would eventually arrive back at your point of origin. Likewise if our three dimensional universe was wrapped around a fourth you could leave Earth traveling in a (as far as you knew) straight line, and provided the Earth was still at the same point you would eventually return to the Earth. Quite perplexing to the traveler!
  
  Again looking at things in 2 dimensions let's say your just minding your own business doing whatever it is that two dimensional creatures do with their time, and suddenly you see in front of you a strange line appears out of nowhere grows and shrinks for apparently no reason then disappears, what was this strange apparition? Going back to the third dimension we see that some prankster has pushed an hourglass through this poor confused two dimensional creature's world, and he just saw the points that were crossing the plane of his universe.
  
  One more trial for our poor tortured two dimensional creature. Let's fold his universe in the third dimension so that two points on opposite sides of the plain are almost touching poke a hole in it and connect the two points by the third dimension, and drag our now totally mental two dimensional creature through it, as far as he knows he's just travelled to the other side of the universe in an instant, we've just created a 2d wormhole using the 3rd dimension.
  
  So, it's easier to picture how 4d or higher objects might interact with our universe if we look at a universe with fewer dimensions from ours.

  Can a staunch Democrat be good friends with a staunch Republican?

  by journey-on in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those with strong political views, is it impossible to be really good friends with someone on the other side?

  my very best friends either tend to think like me on the political continuum or have no care whatsoever for politics.

  those with exceptionally strong leaning toward the other party tend to get mean and nasty in political discussions which invariably deteriorate hopes for a deeper friendship.. what has been your experience?.

  I mostly agree with Jaguarbass, political tribalism sucks. They can be friends if they choose to value the other person and their ideas more than the ridiculous label people attach to themselves. As long as people with differing opinions attack the other's ideas rather than the person they can be friends, sure.

  i remember having to dress up for every meeting even the ones during the week.

  i had to wear a botton down shirt dress pants, a tie, dress shoes, dress socks and a blazer.

  this was also required by my parents to dress up when going door to door.

  I think on the tuesday night book study I didn't have to wear a suit coat, but other than that it was always a suit and (clip on) tie.
  
  Edit: I wore a clip-on as a kid, I eventually learned how to tie a tie. :)
