I should have a custom title by now considering I've been a member here for like 5+ years. I took a big hiatus though and there's basically no records of me. Except some old people who remember.
Blarg. Alls I want it to say is either: "teh burninator" or "helen keller's favorite color is chuck norris". MMmmph. |

There is no "true color"... just different interpretations of it. Like, the way your eyes receive it. It'd be like trying to say which is the right religion. Like.. it's the way your eyes perceive it. Like snakes have heat vision... they obviously see colors very very differently than us. But like... it's not the color... it's how our eyes pick up on it. | |||

Is it bad that I find an insane amount of humor in this?
Chill pills everyone. Unless you're doing something stupid, then you have nothing to worry about. Now disperse, be merry.. and post. And remember, it's a message board.

Yes. And I love it.
Would someone PLEASE tell me what QFT means? I feel like I missed out on a big part of life. |

I'm a girl. And I'd find it hysterical. In fact I'd go along with the act and start crying and putting on dramatics.
But that'd definatly freak you out if a girl did that. |

I was thinking about this just before. What is the frame rate that our eyes perceive in real life? Like move your hands in front of your eyes.... what's the frame rate per second that our brains can process?
I have no idea. But it's cool to think about. Another thing my friend told me. It's definatly like proven wrong... but it's weird to think about. Say the way I saw red, was the way you see blue. Like, everyones colors were different colors. Everything would look normal and natural to that person. Like a purple sky. And there'd be no way to tell with words... because the color that is truely blue.. would be called purple by that person. Like, what if everyone saw different colors. There are supposedly people who can see more than the visible spectrum. People who see aura's. It's just the ring of heat that surrounds our body's, but it has spiritual connotations. |

Socialism survived for thousands of years among native tribes and primitive peoples. It wasn't really until the creation of the huge classical ancient civilizations that we saw other systems emerge. People discovered greed and power then. Once people know something... they can't un-know it.
I believe socialism can survive on a small scale. If people lived in communities sort of seperate from one another.. and small towns were run where everyone benefitted equally. I don't think it can exist on a global scale. The countries are too dependant on one another... and everyone's out to take advantage of each other. Take trade for example. Countries want the maximum amount of supplies for the cheapest price possible. Is that not greed? Greed exists on many levels. The fight to control trade is the tale of history. Trade is where money is made and with money, nations are built. There's a large amount of greed that goes along with this.. and with it.. power. So no, I don't believe true socialism could exist today. As much as I wish it could. However, I think that the economy can be controlled. There should be safeguards on monopolies, people should benefit equally from medicare and medicaide, social security... and all government services. The government should not tell the different between a rich man and a poor man. Same services should be provided. What's strange to consider is that Socialism and Capitalism seek the same things. People who believe in Socialism believe that those involved will seek out an economy and a government who benefits everyone. This eliminates competition, no upward or downward mobility... and it leads to a kind of stagnant economy. True capitalism or laissez-faire economics calls for no government intervention in the economy. So following laissez-faire economics... monopolies would exist. Monopolies eliminate competition and allow no room for mobility, thus... stagnation in the economy. The only difference is with monopolies, few people control a vast number of resources and wealth... so like 90% of the resources, wealth and what have you.. are under the control of a small percent of the population, let's say 10%. (It was BAD during the Industrial Period of America.) Socialism's goal, on the otherhand, is to have everyone share the wealth and the resources of the nation. So Capitalism fights for the few... the "fittest"... and Socialism fights for everyone. I love the idea of Socialism. But if a nation were to opt for that in this day and age, they would be doomed. With everyone getting the same exact resources and wealth... there would be no incentive to make good quality products, there would be no upward mobility, no anything... just stagnation. And the governments that govern socialist nations are usually, if not always oppressive. Captialism offers freedom... but with that freedom you have to make choices. The choices you make determine whether you are among the "fittest" or not. Basically, if you fuck around too much... you're not going to do well. So, there needs to be a cushion for the people who mess up. A nice, plushy... socialist cushion. (Think welfare.) I feel like I should tie this up... but I've already said everything I want to say. |

Originally posted by Skydude But.. do you believe that they're wrong for proclaiming there is not a god? Because then it would just be a difference in opinion... and they're not being self-righteous or pushy. They're just believing what they want to believe.. and getting their belief out there. Isn't that what Jesus did? |

That's not what I was talking about though ..
I was talking about what if someone's blue... was another persons purple. But they'd call it blue... because they've seen it that way their whole life. Think about it. It's very confusing to explain via the internet. I can explain it IRL alot better. [Edit]okay.. time to make it easier. OMG THIS IS BLUE!!... but someone saw that blue as this: They call this color blue. [hint:it's a different color].... but they identify it as BLUE. Cause they've been taught that it's called blue. But their blue is really purple, another color. Think along the lines of subjective reality. Or even to some extent... color blindness. (how someone confuses red and green... so they call green red... and red green).
