My ex husband is now a stay at home dad...he became one after he returned from Iraq. His wife has a job that requires travel throughout the week, and earns enough to comfortably support the family, so he stays home. I don't know if society as a whole respects him or other stay at home dads, but I personally respect them as much as I respect stay at home mothers. The job is demanding, never stops, and deserves as much respect as we give the "bread winner".


Absolutely has my respect, I have a good friend that is in this kind of situation as well. I would hope my feelings are the norm on this subject.

I think it is fair to say every woman does want to feel secure with the man she is dating. Where this theory falls apart is the assumption that every woman translates this into money... some do... but not even close to all.

Okay...here's a good one!

I'm "told" that because I drive a stick, my left leg and etc should be stronger. If that's true, why does my left ummmmmmm...cheek always hurt more than the right when I've overdone a workout?


Your left leg does get stronger, however when you push down with your left leg your right cheek flexes more than the left to maintain your balance. You can test the truth of this by sitting on your hands and pushing down with your left leg against the floor. :wink:

What makes it "reality" then, is that we all share the same experience, see the same thing and we all agree that it is "real."

So as Skyhook has always asserted, reality is determined by agreement.


This is so so flawed!!!

So if I disagree, then reality itself does not exist?

huh




I knew this was all a dream! laugh

Blah blah blah.

Fact: we all hallucinate for more often then we realize.

Fiction: there is evidence for paranormal entities.

Fact: Science has lead us to ALL of our current understanding of reality, religion and psychics, and magic has led to 0 knowledge about reality.


How can you say there isn't evidence of ghosts. We may never know. There will be people out there who will always be skeptical. Yeah some of the photos on the internet we see are fake. But that's not evidence enough to rule out spirits.

Who's to say every single person who has claimed to have seen a ghosts, is hallucinating? How can you prove that?
I dont have to.

So many people think that you need proof to not believe something. Its the other way around bud.

Its called credulity, if a lack of evidence makes you believe something you are credulous. I myself am incredulous. Please provide actual evidence that can be verified and examined, or else its not something I feel obliged to consider real.

If you are honest with yourself you would do the same.

Where most people draw the line is with popular opinion, or if someone they respect and believe to be an authority says so. That goes straight to the heart of credulity.

Bias is bias.

To be objective means to regard anything as possible but nothing as actual until demonstrated vigorously.





You see, if you were using any good evidence, you would not have used wikipedia. Anyone can put whatever they want on there. Not the most cedible source.

Secondly, While you make that argument, will we ever know if there is valid evidence? Really think about it. If I show you a picture, you'll think it's fake. People claim that science can prove it wrong, but a simple picture will be dismissed. A simple video capturing one will be dismissed.

I am not stating the evidence is right or wrong. Are you capable of proving these wrong? You can theorize, and state any sort of law of physics. But really can we say it's wrong?


Wow you dont get it at all. One does not prove things wrong. One gathers evidence to prove something exists, then does tests to rule out things like forgeries . . . .


Scientific advances has always been about unpopular ideas held by a few, or even one, who went out and proved it through experimentation while being mocked by the current system of belief/science. NO ONE ever discovered anything without believing in the possibility first. In some cases the findings were disregarded for years before being widely accepted. (such as the world being flat/center of the universe... need I go on.) I am not saying you should believe something to be true without evidence, I am just saying to actively disbelieve without evidence to the contrary is shortsighted. Who knows what is possible and what is not, we only perceive a very small part of reality. That being said I don't know what the paranormal is... be it ghosts, demons, angels, overactive imagination, spirits or something we have not even conceived of yet.

Man comes back from surgery. Has tubes all over him, oxygen mask on his face, etc. The nurse comes in to give him a sponge bath. The man mumbles something and she says "Sir, I can't understand you." He says " Are my testicles black yet?" Nurse says, "I don't know Sir, I'm only here to bathe you from the belly up. Again...the man mumbles, "Nurse, are my testicles black yet?". She says, "Okay okay Sir I'll have a look for you". She lifts his hospital gown, lifts his penis, checks it thoroughly, takes his balls in her hand and looks at them carefully. She leans by up at the man's face and says "No Sir, they look normal to me." The man removes his mask and says, "Wow, THAT was awesome, but are my tests back yet?"

It is human nature to want to fix things and make everything perfect for ourselves and those around us that we care about. As a result we focus on all the negatives in life... which in turn depresses us, because we really cant fix it all.

The only way to overcome this is to focus on the positive for part of the day. Christians do this by prayer... giving thanks. Other philosophies have you meditate and empty your mind. Its all about putting aside part of your day and focusing on the good stuff to keep us from being overwhelmed....

Everyone needs a break.
