Hara-Kiri

1st!!! :mrgreen:

2nd

samari??? idk, my guess

3rd!

hey hot for words, i love your videos. okay, what is the origin of the golf term fore. Thanks

Is it sepuku :?:

Seppuku is the one I’m familiar with.

could you explain in the next lesson the origin of “sexy”
plz..
nice video.

I would say Football and or soccer.

HI Marina!
I found the word “SEPPUKU” listed in te book Samurai Fighting Arts
by Tanaka. In it’s chapters & glossary: “The ritual taking of one’s life”.

I didn’t see any listings of the first word learned by English speaking
Americans, etc. I have guesses, though. I guess “Samurai” or any
words describing the seven principles of Bushido. Another guess
might be “Banzai”.

Plenty of the scariness in the words and ideas are compensated
by the beliefs of what Bushido truly is. Worth at least a mention!

(p.s. You scream like that? … mmm … roller-coasters … !!!) :grin:

Love you long time.

I am not sure about the idea of the first word.

The first words ?? Probably were ” What the fuck are you doing? ”
性交は何をここにしているか。か。

Isn’t that a Warrior?

marina what is the origin of cooties or a person having cooties.

Well i live’d the day to contradict you but your partially correct …hara-kiri actually refers to the killing of the spirit,in this case hara refers to the center of the spirit and kiri its also the word for killing…well the other meaning for harakiri is killing of soul and the first word was okane meaning money…and harakiri and and sepuku are not the same thing ,in harakiri you don’t have another samurai assistant to cut your head off,you just split open your belly and die thats all

easy;

They used to say ; Duck before the ball hits you.
by the time you got to, be-fore, The ball would have hit them.

This is a shitty translation

“S O N Y”

BiLL

where does the word “nightmare” come from?

The word is “Seppuku.” No dea what it means or where it comes from, though.

I really want to know where the word “darling” as in a loved one comes from! Why do we call those we love “my darling?”

**Hey Marina,**
I notice an improvement in the speed that new video post are emailed. I received an email at 6:00pm PST stating your new post is up. It only took 30 minutes this time as appose the old time of 6 hours or more.

The word that replaced it was “Sepuku” (I believe?)

Richard

Hello, Marina…
acethebathound here…
The word the Nihonjin use is Seppuku…
Given that Hara Kiri is considered to be rather vulgar…
Also, the Samurai or higher caste would use Seppuku while the lower castes would use Hara Kiri… :smile: :!: :grin:

being so knowing of japan culture can u explain the word nihonjin if u plz

I want to know the orgin of the word wenis which is the skin on your elbow. Oh, and is the first word to come into the english language from japenese haiku?

It’s ‘Japanese people’.

comin’ from a biology viewpoint, i opt for bonzai as the first Japanese word to enter the English language…

i’d say sayonara but i’m kinda hopin’ we’ll meet again…

or at least once… :cool:

Seppuku is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai. Part of the samurai honor code, seppuku has been used both voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies, as a form of capital punishment for samurai who have committed serious offenses, and for reasons that shamed them.

I’m not sure what the first word was if wasn’t saki but the first I ever heard when I was a kid was Godzilla since I loved those movies when the were released here.

The first Japanese word apparently to enter into the english language is bonze in 1588.

that will mean gaijin means strange man or stranger :roll:

Nihonjin means “Japanese People”…
acethebathound
atbh :shock: :smile: :idea:

Oh this is a good one! Right up my alley! I have a sword called a Katana. A common sword used in Marshal arts today. Its partner sword is called Wakizashi (which I don’t have yet). A smaller sword used as a back up weapon or to decapitate defeated enemies. Many fighters referred to decapitate defeated opponents with the Wakizashi instead of the Katana. The executioner would seize the defeated fighter and immobilize him, then remove the fighters helmet. He would then with one hand grab the fighter by his hair and use his other hand quickly swing a wakizashi to slice off his head to claim his trophy. Why use the wakizashi instead of katana? Its much easier to single-hand a shorter sword than with the longer Katana.

The Wakizashi is also referred to as the “Honor Blade”. It was used to commit a ritual suicide, Seppuku or Hara-Kiri. Im sure there are many stories of its use in hara-kiri. I have seen this demonstrated at karate tournaments. It a very interesting demo to watch preformed. I had planed to master the ritual to pass on the knowledge, but was not able to continue my instruction. I think there might be a YT video of this demo somewhere.

My weapon of choice now is the Bo Staff. It can defeat a Katana. Its also easier to find and to make. It also make for good Kata!

__/)__

Whats up CP? I see you changed your pic. Is that the deaf “little bastard” you speak of? He looks like a weiner dog? One of my friends had a weiner dog named Finagen, we nicknamed him fin diesel. He loved running, but after a about three strides he was at top speed…good ol’ fin was all low end but had won hell of a launch off the line! HA! :lol:

I would have said sake had not micheldiego said bonze. Nice Micheldiego. Never heard of that. It aint bonzai.

Mike, whaaaaaaasssuuuuuuuuup!

Anyone notice teacher was rather playful over on the last lesson? More so than I’ve seen in along time! I like it, its fun to see every so often. Thanks for playin’ Marina! :wink:

Unfortunately I was at work…DANG IT!!!!

ufortunately

I find the marshal arts very interesting. My new weapon of choice is a mini-14 with a collapsible stock and a few high volume clips. :twisted: …Hey, why do they call marshal arts marshal arts? Whos marshal?

hi the word i wanna know is “horny”

another word is wetback, and why and who it offends that would be cool to make a youtube vid about it :P

She saw how you all protected her, so now has no reason to fear the Web Weirdos.

ouch

Notice she is wearing the Shirt :shock:

As for the first word to be command in USA? Datson?

where does the term, you have ben (86) from the property.

Yes I notice the same thing. :mrgreen: Even in her comments on her site seemed more playful than just doing her unusual daily business commenting. Maybe she got engaged. Did anyone find out if that crazy rumor was truly false? Im pretty sure it is a rumor because I didn’t by any rings lately. Hey PD, I think noticed something. Did she had her hair length shorted?

I know, the shirt! Everytime I see it I think some of that stuff from the old days is seeping from my fat cell into my blood stream! Then I just look at the curtains and there not rolling so I know its going to be ok. :lol: …I was going to say honda. :grin:

It seems that in all the lessons with the old background the hair is long and in all the new ones its short. Her hair was short at lisanovas b-day. I, for one, love the short look! It frames that cute face much better. The vid where shes wearing the “coke blows” shirt was the first I think. It looked like she just came from the hair dresser on that one…You must love to see all his chatter about your hair :roll: , haw Marina? :smile:

Thanks! :smile:

Where does the tradition of thumbs up or thumbs down to signify good or bad come from?

What about “flipping someone the bird”? Why the bird? and why that particular gesture.

Why is Friday the 13th considered bad luck?

What other superstitions can you explain for us.

I men, this chatter…

What?!? You have no Kung Fu? Its not good to not have Kung Fu! I teach you Gun Fu young grasshopper! (btw there is a style called Gun Fu, which is not relation to the English word Gun).
What I really like about Karate is i’m always armed, even when i’m naked in the shower (sorry to put that image into your head). You see I have a left arm and a right arm with me at all times.

How in the hell do I know who is Marshal? hehehe

That was a pain, should be a warning about the volume, (just trying to sound a little more firecracker like)… rr sorry
Hurry Curry , I love your accent Marina, word knowledge & dinner Ideas.

Damn I missed the b-day party! :cry:

I’m not superstitious, but I am little stitious

The word I would like to know is ‘emerald.’
Thanks :)

prophetic

How about hayday!

hey hotsforwords….i was playing call of duty 4 when i heard the game soldier scream ” tango is down”….from what i know TANGO is a dance….what is the origin of the word tango as used by the military for another way of saying enemy……i wish you wouldn’t scare people like that…lol

seppuku is the word the japanese use instead of hara-kiri

I don’t know the word, but I love sushi!!!! If you live in LA would you like to go out for sushi some time?????? My treat……!!!!!

I would like to know the origins of the word “orange” – and more specifically, what came first, the colour being named “orange” or the fruit named “orange” and how an entire colour was named after one fruit and not something else of the same colour, for example, carrots…thanks Marina!

Hi Marina,
Could you tell us the meaning/origin of the phrase “Mind your P’s and Q’s”? I never miss class,I love your lessons. You have my vote for Teacher of the Year!!
Thanks so Much!!

I was wondering what is the meaning of the word “Character” in regards to when some one says, “They have good character.” I have a dilemma with this because i teach Karate to kids, and we teach them the 10 rules of life. Two of the words are Character and Integrity, and for the life of me, I’m having a hard time describing the difference to my young students. Perhaps knowing the origin may help to clear up the confusion. The user name is pronounced U.S.K.A. Fighter.

It was pretty good to see Marnia and Kobe having such a good time at the party. Lisa Nova did record most of it for you to see.

http://www.blogtv.com/lisanovalive/Videos/month/6/ year/2008/p/0/0

The trouble is you have to wade through hours of other stuff to see the parts with Marina, although some of it is worth it.

The party did get better as it went on with Marina, Lisa and Corey having a best butt contest.

Then someone spilled beer on the keyboard.

It was very nice when Marina told me she trusted me, that really meant a lot.

Had a extra space in the liink that messed it up

http://www.blogtv.com/lisanovalive/Videos/month/6/year/2008/p/0/0

Seppuku is the formal name, where as hara-kiri is the common name.
I figure the first Japanese word to enter the american language would have probably been “Kamikaze”

I’m not at all trying to be funny or mean, but I would like to know the origin of the word: tnuc! (I spelled it backwards because here in the US, it is an offensive word towards women and since you are one, I hope I haven’t offended you. Also, what is the origin of the word derogatory? (I know what it means)

Thanks for answering!

Hi Captain you are confusing martial with marshall. Martial art comes from Mars god of the war, but Marshall comes from french marechal originally a horse servant from marah horse.

You know the little photo below the “Latest Lesson – Hara-Kiri” link with Marina’s mouth wide open? Yea that one! Don’t you have the urge to put something in her mouth? :shock: Yea like a donut or a slice of pizza! She looks hungry. :mrgreen: I tried to put a slice of pizza in her pie hole but for some reason my monitor is blocking the way somehow. :roll: I need to fix that. When are those 3D monitors coming out? :???:

Ok, how about the word Jiu-Jitsu….

City Kids are so cute. And the clown with the hair??
Marina is young and cute, but mostly young.
She looks very close to one of my son’s girl buddys
in this forum. His 21 yr Girl friend.
Marina is your sister any older? 10yrs or so? :lol:

Is there some kind of art colony there, utube Haight Ashbury?

It’s one of those words that is not spelled like it should sound. :roll: And people wonder why I hate English so much! :razz: :razz: :razz:

I tried to track japanese words in XVI century english. It is not so easy since these words are sometimes chinese coming to english through japan or japanese through portuguese or dutch. And then some are now not more in use.
The oldest could be “kuge” used in english in 1577 was a kind of level in japanese hierarchy.
We have also japan itself coming from japanese ni + hon in 1577, but as it has been transformed I don’t think it counts.
Then in 1540 we have lotus more chinese than japanese.
And Bonze in 1588 seems to be really japanese and rellay adopted by english. So I still think it is the oldest japanese word in english language.
Silk in 1604 is dificult to locate as japanese or chinese
Katana in 1613 shogun in 1615 and samisen in 1616 are real japanese to english imports long before Nikon or Toyota.

Just wondering: Do you listen to any Russian music, Marina? I like the german band “Rammstein” and went off looking for Russian, but only found one song called “Mladshaya Sestrenka” by someone named Lube.

I guess I’m mixing up Martial with Marital. I thought Martial was Marital and not to be confused with Marital vs. Martial. But if you look at the Marsdial , it is not confusable with Martial or Marital.

There was a time Honda was the only car manufactured in America.

I’ve also heard a Japanese word which is called a “Yamato”. What exactly is a Yamato? :?:

Hey PD, I went on as soon as I read your message. I only saw about 10 mins of it before his wife showed up and he had to leave.

I think the word used instead of “hara-kiri” is “sepuku”…. i saw it in some movie. My request of word to investigate (if i can have one) is “disco”– where does it come from?
Tnx in advance and many kisses.
JD.

Im with you on that one USKAfighter. I also had the same issue when I was teaching about Character and Integrity in our creed. :grin:

Well capt. if you think this is a matter of honour what do you think is more suitable:
a) hara-kiri
b) sepukku
c) jigai
d) renting Jim Jarmush “Ghost dog” movie and forgeting about it

100th exactly. hehehe :mrgreen:

There is a party link somewhere on this page. I missed the party also. I watched the first 30 mins of the video and was bored to tears. When I have more time I might watch the other 6 hours of it.

Burp! I just ate my late night dinner. Greasy fried chicken, taters, and green beans! I love chicken. Yea and watermelons. I must be black! I think the 4 years living with the bros kind of rubbed off on me.
Oh that reminds me. There is this guy on SL who loves watermelons. Torley Linden. He is a very popular Linden in the world of SL. He makes training video on how to use the SL interface. Hes a great guy. I made him a watermelon colored snowman last winter for his collection. Yea he has a crazy collection of anything painted watermelon.

All the conversations… No one has mentioned The Big Bang Theory, need a valid hypothesis. I think i’ve even seen similar arguments to this start here. Aren’t you worried about the propigation of the species.

LOL thats just too damn funny!!.

Funny thing about marriage for some people, your damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Is there another way around it?

The Adventuress, a 95-year-old two-masted, 133 long gaff-rigged schooner, ran aground in the San Juan islands on a school trip with 15 passengers and 12 crew members aboard. Ever one is just fine, but this is a skippers worst nightmare to get National coverage of your misfortune. :shock:

Im very familiar to this ship since I have friends that worked on her for many years. I’ve been on her decks many times. :???: Im glad I wasn’t skippering that day. I always tell myself to keep the passengers in the boat , the water out of the boat and know where the heck your are going. Do that and you should just fine.

SO sorry that this time i can write sooo late,anyway i knew that the proper form was SEPUKU which lit. means to commit suicide…. there is a quite significant amount Japanese well-known words acquired by the English language,for instance ,GEISHA,BONSAI,KIMONO,KATANA,KAMIKAZE,maye bonze, but i’m not sure about it….SAMURAI,SHOGUN,SUSHI AND SASHIMI,KARATE and KARAOKE,as you can see these words have a common stem,maybe Marina you knew that…..as a matter of fact there is something ”empty” in both things :cool:

oh,sorry i forgot one p,SEPPUKU. :oops:

FINALLY! someone in this world does this word. It’s true Japanese don’t seem to like it, but WHAT does replace it? Too cute video Marina…nice work.

Marina, you mentioned in the video that, “a Japanese man of honour was considered to have stomach“.
Maybe a little clarification of that statement would be in order; in the west that might be interpreted as meaning that he indulged too much in the products of the culinary arts.
In Chinese and Japanese culture the “hara” (literally translated as the belly) is considered to be the centre of a person’s spiritual energy and the location of their “soul”, whence emanates their physical and spiritual power. The hara is located three finger widths below the navel ,and coincides with the centre of gravity. Modern western systems of exercise and physical fitness recognise this concept as the “Core”, and concentrate on developing “core strength” as a foundation on which to build fitness and strength of the rest of the body.

Hey Marina I would like to request on the word: rootbeer

Sepuku

Right two P’s. Not likely that Tametomo was a brother of the emperor (unless there was hanky panky that textbooks don’t tell about). He was of the Minamoto clan, samurai, not royalty. He was perhaps a brother to Yoshitomo, who did quite well in the art of war.

Suppuku is the word you’re looking for, I think.

And I would guess maybe kamikazee would be the first Japanese word to be adopted by English.

Hello My Dear Teacher,

Since you are a gardener, I would like to know the origin of the phrase “green thumb”. You could either augment the lesson by going into the origin of the word “green” (you’ve done pink and purple).

And / or you could go into the origin of the word thumb; especially, “thumbnail”, “all thumbs”, “thumbs up” and other uses like that. You already did “Rule of Thumb”.

Maybe you could demonstrate some of your gardening adventures. :grin:

If you will be using the word green and the German grün, let me
know and I’ll help you pronounce it. Don’t want those Germans
on YT getting bent out of shape. :smile:

Thank you koalabear! It seems the community shares my own interests, because Marina did already also my next word, “subliminal”…

Dear Marina,
I love your lessons! You are my favourite teacher. As a side effect, my English improves as well as my etymology background.
What’s the etymology of… etymology?

Ic, cool ty.

I’d just like to point out, that once again I have still not been replaced as teacher’s pet. I think it’s obvious who our lovely and talented teacher loves most around here!

Thank you, Marina, for reinforcing my exquisite delusion! :smile:

[yes - before the gang gets "all up in my grill" for claiming the love of the fair Marina - don't worry, I was kidding]

Here is a request, What is the origin of the word Cavalry and how is it Cavalry and Calvary are so similar in name but so different in meaning?

Waddup where does the word Tattoo come from? Also why do brits have Air Tattoos? Why aint it Air Shows? I think Hot for words is going to have to investigate.

Hello Marina. I must say that this is one of the best uses for online video I’ve seen. Good work! Now to the word. I was talking to a friend at work who grew up in the 60′s, and he referred to a slang that was used back then, and had no idea where it came from. The word is “sopor”. Wiki gives me a definition, but nothing else. Thank you for taking the time to further my education. :)

Seppuku?

extra credit?
Samurai was used early to describe Japanese culture because there was not really a Western equivalent, but it was not used directly in western culture…

So… for extra credit… i guess… that since people were really into exotic plants in Victorian days, that “bonsai” might have made it into western culture early…

I am sure you will tell us, right?

157Th !!!

Hi Marina. That’s the first time I’ve heard the phrase “Hara-Kiri”. Now I’ve got another hyphenated one for you: do you know the origin of the word “Flim-Flam”? Lots of hugs and kisses all the way from Australia. Cheers!

The formal hara-kiri is Seppuku. The first word well… the first word recorded was Gaipen for the Porteguese traders name for the country Japan. Possibly Samurai for the English sailor William Adams or Sake since it is an alcohol and it never takes visitors (tourist) long to figure out the name of the local drinks. I’m just a student… wanting a gold star… silver’s good too.

Maybe you’r replacing the seven million dollar man. :cool:

But didn’t live long :lol:

When I looked it up it was spelled both ways sepuku and seppuku you’r not wrong.

Hey =)
whats the origin of the word “please” and how did it come into the use it did today?
“Please” investigate thanks :mrgreen:

Also one of the first motorcycles imported here was a Honda :smile:

I’m starting to lean toward samurai. Can I change my guess?

Yea this one does. He gets up to speed fast then thats it. You know they were bred for going after badgers in the badger’s hole. Thats what the word dauchsand means is badger dog. Just think of that kind of little dog being able to take on a badger :cool:

Hello Maria. I am Japanese learning English. wow! you chose the really scary Japanese word, “hara-kiri” today. And I haven’t heard it for a long time. (of course I have never seen a Japanese trying to cut his belly on my own eyes) I’m sure that all Japanese people know what it means, but there are few people who actually use it in life even when we tell a joke. And also, it doesn’t sound vulgar and offensive at all to us. it sounds ridiculous and funny. We would just think that you are trying to make us laugh if you use it in a conversation.

As to Kanji, “hara-kiri” is 腹切 and “seppuku” is 切腹. The two is just placed in reverse order.

whaaaaaaasssuuuuuuuuup my friend. Lets have another cold one and go kungfu some ass :)

Comme on now. I know you take martial arts so you should easily know the answer.:)

Oh and I forgot he’s a miniture so his top speed is even slower :lol: :lol: But I still can’t catch him. :wink:

Seppuku<—–got it :!: Read before you type, Andy. Read before you type…

How about ayso which probably means asshole in English. So every time in the cowboy movies you would see and asian say ayso he was probably calling us an asshoe. :lol: Just kidding :smile:

Bob , you have a lot of guts, taking on a teaching role here :razz: That’s actually useful knowledge. My understanding of the phrase “bowels of mercy” is translateble to “heart of mercy” ancient cultures & maybe even some now, refer to the bowels as the seat of ones emotions, like the “heart”, although an organ to pump blood, is now a (valentine) symbol of love, or even passion

He put his heart into it

… Sadness, “She broke his heart”
Can’t imagine how Hallmark would market their cards…”I love you with all my bowels” :roll:
How would it sound “He had a big heart” (He had big bowels) :oops:

Or yodeling, she is from that side of the river. :lol:

I know martial arts too it’s called Ka-gun, it barks over here and bites over there :lol:

ooooo itchy little critters. :lol:

or suki suki 5 dollars :lol: :lol:

I went to ask.com and found foorball or soccer, but for the sake of it I can’t find it now. I know I read it somewhere. I’ll probably get an F for this lesson. :sad:

whaaaaaaasssuuuuuuuuup! Need a cold one :lol:

You know Pagedoll the best laughs I used to get is when we had a litter of miniture weiners and people would come over to see them and bring their children. The first thing out of the children’s mouths was, hey look at the weinner dogs. Some how it just struck me as being so funny. :lol: Joke for ya, Do you know what they call a person who comes in first in a mexican horse race. AAh he’s da weinner. :lol: :lol: Just a joke please no one take it seriously. :grin:

whaaaaaaasssuuuuuuuuup!

felicity, what would be the first word to come from the Japanese language to the English Language :?: You write or type and understand the English language better that some of us Americans. :smile:
Mike

Marina if that is you’r belly in the video, you covered it up with that darn start button. :sad: To pretty to cover up :wink:

Hi the shaun,
After Marina did the GTA 4 video, she placed a video on her YT favorites page. It’s a catchy GTA video called “Glukoza – Schweine” which you will hum all day. The babe in the video is Marina, no doubt. The Russian group is called Glukoza Nostra and I like their music and performances even though I don’t understand Russian. There are several videos of that group on YT.

I was trying to figure out a good way to say the same thing, but you hit the nail squarely on the head, Mike.

She did the same thing to poor little Kobe. The button covered up his little facy :lol:

184th!

Ok, you’r on now buddy. :grin: It was I that she ask if I wanted to ask her to be ingauged. Na NA Na Na NA :lol: :razz: :grin: :cool: :smile: :mrgreen: Ok I can’t find anymore smillies to add :twisted:

Great comparison, BillyB.

I got a good belly-laugh, or was it a bowel movement? Hold on, I better check my shorts.

Ok so I spelled ingaged wrong. No bodies perfect except for one body, blond, tall, blue eyes. Well you know what I mean.:)

No go for the gold :cool:

PT you just want do, or is that dodo :razz:

Super! I’m in stitches.

Hey, wait a second. Now there’s an expression that seems to defy reason. Perhaps it’s fertile ground for an etymological foray. Hmmm.

Now I want be able to get that tune out of my head all day. That is a cool video and song. :cool: That had to be Marina in her cartoon days. :wink:

Whaaaaaaasssuuuuuuuuup!

Whats the origin of Palm Tree?

How about the word “Phenomenon”? From where did that come?
It sounds Vietnamese.
And for dessert I shall have the Phen omenon.

Also, my friends don’t believe me, but aren’t jujubees used for making Kosher honey?

No Money, No Honey.

In Thai “Ka gun” means to kill each other.

The “polite” word for hara-kiri is seppuku. Right?

Seppuku is my answer to the homework. Seppuku is the ritual assisted suicide inwitch a person sat in a ring of friends at dawn wrote their parting last words and their was choped off. Sometimes the person would cut their own belly at the same time. P.S for extra credit I think the answer I JAPAN. It is not used by them rather NIPPON and NIHRON are used. I hope I’m teacher’s pet :lol:

très bien dear capman,merçi beaucoup,thank you very much!-grazie- :smile:

I’m not sure if you know what you said with “Bob , you have a lot of guts …”, but I got a giggle out of it anyway.
Keep ‘em coming! :lol:

Hi. I was wondering what the origin of spelunking is. I went with a couple of friends exploring caves and this word popped up a lot

Hey! I want to know the history behind the word “Kapish/Kapeesh”. I hear this word a lot in gangster films and wanted to know where it came from!

Thanks :cool:

Capman, That’s just dog gone funny! :lol:

дорогая мариночка,даже если Ñ‚Ñ‹ постоянно занята, тебе удалось смотреть как россия прекрасно играет в еврочемрионате по футболу :cool: ?…..i’m always looking forward to watching at least one more video in Russian :grin: it would be cool if you decided to investigate the origin of ”Russian roulette” or if you do not particularly like this,i will be looking for something else to propose you, meanwhile i would also like you to discuss the origin of etymology,if someone has already requested this term :?: ,i join this request!

I couldn’t find it anywhere by googling, but I did once hear that among some ethnic groups, “having a belly” for a man means he is powerful or well-connected – someone to be feared or respected.

Oh those where the days. Now I have them buying me dinner. Hey does that makes me Deuce Bigalow a Male Gigolo or a Man Whore? LOL.

Yea but then everyone would know the answer. I can’t make any money giving away my trade secrets. :sad: :lol: :lol:

Still having problems? :roll:

whaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuup!

Hey CM, Let me bring down a beer truck so we never have to run to the store to get more. PT you know where we can find some ass to kungfu on?

btw CM, looking at the time of your post. Should you be drinking at 8:23am? Even if I adjust for time zone differences its still early. Hell what am I saying? It’s not like I haven’t had beer for breakfast! :shock:

9:22am and CM is lit up! LOL…

CM911

Tall? How tall would you put Her? My guess is ; 5’4″ , 5’5″

I don’t know roadrunmch, she does have some long legs. :grin: :cool: Heck I ask her if she was engaged so ask her how tall she is. She could at least tell use some of here measurements. She’s pretty open minded and cool about things like that. We are here little darlings, beside Kobe of course. I wouldn’t defenatly ask about her weight. You know ladies are about that issue. :shock:

I see that too. I had problems when I refreshed the page it told me no data base found. Then sent me to a blank page. Still just a few bugs to work out. :cool:

I’ll bet though she likes the belly shot more then the other , the one with her mouth open looking like she just pounded 1/2 a beer. ie …..bELch……. :???:

I am going to have to learn Russian. It’s such a beautiful language. But the lettering kinda confuses me :wink:

look bigger adds .>>

What did you think of the additional material I posted regarding the evolution debate on the Hot video pate? I grabbed a couple that were targeted to your main questions – life popping out of nowhere and complex organs popping out of nowhere.

Any thoughts?

I don’t think she’s talking to us today. Humm all of the smilies have gone by by.

I would suggest the answer is that natural selection did not select for an extra appendage. It might have, though, as with starfish and octopuses. Sometimes mutations occur that include extra limbs, but these are largely not beneficial.

Imagine a Bush bashing condescending pumas ass with that Opinion?
Come on! New ……..some thing new. Like how did the eye teach the skull to form a orbital cavity. And how did each animal needs for how it sees the world act to create the eye it needed?
That was some smart light sensitive cell.
ie Predators ; Close set eyes to give bi-ocular vision. And pray animals set on the sides to give sight 360* .
Darwin explains how creatures improve. Not that they grew eyes were there were none or ……..?
My question of the light bulb is ; You have a power source Electricity, a vacuum and some trace minerals, ie no bios. Create Life. Is this over simplistic, Yes duh.

OOPs This is about the video you referred to me.

Hey Marina!
Lets learn about the word “etymology” itself. I’m sure there must be an interesting story behind the word that describes the history of words. A redundant topic?

the origin of this word
Hydrophilic

Here you have a fly with a second pair of eyes instead of antennae.
http://blog-svt.blogspot.com/2007/03/mutation-drosphile-oeil-surnumraire.html
Or an extra pair or feet instead of antennae.

Hi Marina,

When things are a bit disorganised, why do we say that they’re at “sixes and sevens”?

Woof, woof….

And all this time I thought it was a sweet potato crossed with a tomato.

I posted my thoughts some place. But in short . nothing new.

Sorry Marina
I did not stack it like that . the site reconfigured it?

RRR
The Instigator

The interesting thing about eyes is that in fact it is something showing that “creation” is rather easy and simple. The same unique gene is found in many species with the same function with similar action on other genes causing the eye cells diferenciation.
By noticing that all the living organism have a common plan Geoffroy de Saint-Hilaire arround 1850 already noticed that life was not so “extraordinary”. He had this idea by reverting a lobster and finding out that the organism who “look” diferent than mammal in terms of mapping of the nervous system, are just reverted, if you revert a lobster you find something similar to a mammal (in terms of “nerves wiring”).

The funny thing is that for thoose who are still amazed by a lobster the oddity of the animal can also been seen as proof of some randommnes. Pierre Desproges said: “The lobster is the proof of the non-existence of god”.

That is if life is simple why to invoque a god, and if life is complex, what god will create a lobster?

But coming back to the purpose of this site, the debate I have not seen yet is what about Adam naming animals according to Genesee?
Is this possible (calculating one minute to name one animal how long does it takes)? What about “forgotten animals” or new breedings? Does it mean animal have a common name/etymology in any language? Or confirm the existence of primordial language? Why did god who created them not named them? Or do they have an intrinsic name that Adam “discovered” when naming them? But then did Adam have a free will when he choosed the names?

Where is the word Sarcastic coming from? Sarcasm? Does it have anything to do with flesh, because Sarca in greek means flesh!
please investigate my sweet teacher! :wink: :!:
Sarcasm! I can’t find it anywhere.

By the way, Woof Woof! You are pretty! kisses! xxx

I can tell you the origin. Ok but I won’t! But I’ll say that it is a double-linked word coming from Greek! :) I hope I haven’t ruined the party!

I’m not supposed to tell you if I know the answer, right? Ok I won’t say.
But I know! :grin:

it’s all good :mrgreen:

RR, if you can imagine something called “god” making something from nothing, why not something called “naturr” or “random” or “whatever”?
We are here in presence of a recursivity problem. If god created the universe, who created god? and who created who created god etc etc… At some point you have to admit that there is not such thing as one cause one effect but somehow something can happen without a cause. If there is no cause to this “creation” do we need to figure out a will?
I mean if you are able to imagine the existence of a god who exist without any cause or will but simply exists, why not imagig that the universe itself may have this same nature of unwilled and uncaused phenomenom?

Being elementally inclined :wink: Argon may be noble and 12% of the atmosphere it’s not necessary for life. :lol:

Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are the elements the are essential for life.

Hi, I’ve been a fan of yours for a couple of months now, but only very recently signed up here on your website.

Anyway, I was kinda hoping you’d clear something up for me, as it’s something that I’ve been wondering about for quite some time now. Where does rucksack come from? Any clues?

H20, CH4, NH3, and H2 are suficient:

Seppuku is the accepted or honored word. The cut is made with a plunge on the left side, cutting across and then a 90 degree turn up the right side to cut the renal artery. It is an extremely painful way to die and usually involves a second who uses a full length katana to sever the head. Often the head was severed the moment the seppuku blade was held to the abdomen. The best cut for the second would be to sever the head properly, however not completely because it would be improper to have it roll away. The unthinkable would be to miss and need to do it twice, however this has happened.

Probably geisha was the first word to the west.

edd zackery :mrgreen: (that’s Japanese for ‘exactly’)

I left out Nitrogen, but the others you mentioned are compounds and can be combined from the other elements

to your reply]

God seems to be the sticking point.
Lets try this ; Gravity, Prove / disprove.

Gravity;
see it?
hear it?
smell it ?
You just feel it and see it’s action on other matter.

GOD;
see it?
hear it?
smell it ?
You just feel it and see it’s action on other matter
and yet you can prove it does not exist…??

Prove to me there is gravity, this is what you ask of me.
Proving there is not. Is this what you are trying to do with GOD?

Did anyone ever answer your question. If not probably about 15 minutes. Plus there are still issues with a error 404 page coming up when you click on you’r site.

H20, CH4, NH3, and H2 are sufficient:

OK……..and Who [ what ] built the machine
Where did H20, CH4, NH3, and H2 come from????????

The Dimm

Hello Sully,
I not going to answer you’r question I am leaving that up to Marina. But spelunking sounds like a dirty word doesn’t it :?:

Your mind can NOT comprehend , ” Nothing.”
The vastness of NOTHING is enough to make you insane to conceive.
Try think of nothing……if you are thinking of in the blackness of nothing?

Wrong that is something. Absents of all Thought. Energy, Matter.
……….>NOTHING<………

Come on there is a huge difference between god and gravity, as you said for gravity: “You just feel it and see it’s action on other matter”. And I bet that each time you fall on the floor you feel it badly.
But god? You can’t feel it by any sense and you can’t see any of his action on any matter can you?
So now regarding prooving or not prooving, of course I can proove you the existence of gravity just by pushing you through the window from the third floor. And as we are here speaking of reality, I can call some scientific theory and predict the terminal velocity and energy dissipated when you impact the floor, and anyone doing bthe math will find the same numbers.
You can’t proove me the existence of god. And neither can I proove that Santa Clauss does not exists, and as it is a matter of faith it is a good thing that we don’t have the same “perception”. It prooves that imagination can create any fantasy or “perception” of the reality, or poetry, any faith belief or disbelief are possible…

I was having that message, plus
sometimes a page came up with
no comments, or, the site was
not accepting comments
Pretty much the same from
page to page. It has been
better in recent hours, but
there was a long stretch
between the posted message
saying it would be 20 mins,
’til now. A little bit like waiting

Hey there girly girl! :grin:
You need to keep Arnold away
from the computer!! :???:

Oh hey
And from the life the experiment creates comes the human Eye?

Maybe someone created God to keep us under control like laws. So we would have a moral concept in life to live up to. If you thought that there was a supreme being then you would be nice and cordual. If you didn’t believe or behave you would go to hell. That’s just my opinion. :neutral: I believe! :!: But every one has put out some really great comments and facts about evolution and a devine being. Makes for some great theories about nature, evolution and the begining of life as we know it.

You’re leaving out the other quadrants that’s where your insanity stems from category errors and reducing everything to only parts

You asked about specific elements and I gave you them but if you wanted a more comprehensive answer for what else is necessary for life then you have to include more perspectives.

http://integralwiki.net/index.php?title=AQAL

If you want to go into the other aspects of what is necessary for life then you have to include more than just chemisty since that’s only the lower right quadrant

I forgot the lesson, already Doh!
I did get to read EVERYBOY’s comments
though, so I learned the answer to the
homework is either seppuku or kamekaze.
Thought kamikaze meant “divine wind”
or some such. Harry Carey used to to
the baseball commentary. Guess that
might be why Americans pronounce
hara kiri incorrectly. :mrgreen:

Man I made more typos in that one comment than I have all day. :oops:

No- You haven’t ruined the party. I’ll conspire to post another word that has more investigative value. I knew that the word was borderline Sesquipedalian from the beginning…..

All I need to prove GOD exist is Prove IT does not.

The fact that You are unable to prove that Santa Claus does not exists,
Is apparent. You really need to start out on something you can conceive .

But that also includes and enfold the manifest domain so you have to keep them in perspective of which you’re dealing with the absolute or the relativem the insanity comes from confusing them.

I spat out a loop of sound similar to what you sense undergoing anesthesia. called it nitrous oxide. I guess technically it’s a trance loop. :mrgreen:

Apparently, any failure to decisively prove that something DOESN’T exist provides positive proof that it exists (at least on the planet roadrunrnch).

What a waste of time this guy is. He should try to get an education some day. I’ll tell you one thing: I’m sure glad I live next door to Santa Claus. Many people think he is a myth. Can you imagine?

do the word pussy scince it has many meaings

absolute zero: the temperature where all motion and time stops.
the coldest achieved in the labs is within a few millionths of a degree difference. To produce a true absolute zero result, it is estimated, would require all of the energy in the solar system!
And don’t forget, empty vacouos space is rampant with brownian motion currents, which act with a physical force, produced by the creation and subsequent destruction of sub atomic particles. :mrgreen:

Or Olde Tayles of Yore where we learn that the correct way to get a poisonous supernatural snake to release you is to set a woman in a barrel of milk and have her hang a breast over the edge, then set the victim in a barrel of vinegar and station a swordsman between the two to cut the snake in half when it leaps for the woman’s (presumably honey sweetened) breast.

About who built the machine you did not read the link:
the machine just “simulate lightning through the atmosphere”

Then you are confusing 1) the eye evolution 2) the life aparition, 3) the universe creation.
1) I think you already had an answer on the eye.
2) Here you see (with your own eyes) how easy the life apparition is. If you want to better understand (once you read the link), you could eventually investigate order from noise, and chaos theory, by googling it you will find out how disorder can make organisation easier and how inespected results can appear in a deterministic system.
3) If you really care about the universe creation, I let somebodyelse get the info to give you some insight, don’t want to argue till the end of time on different matters.

About my mind comprehending nothing, I find it rather easy. I have even experienced it, just before being born I was nothing, so I know perfectly what it is. And I don’t see what is the link here between “nothing” and god or etymology?

Thank you Sir Melikadothechacha :cool: I dub the a night because it’s almost 9:00 here. :lol:

I love this question:

“… Like how did the eye teach the skull to form a orbital cavity.”

Paleontologically, the stratigraphic record proves that the brain-eye connection existed in calcareous/chitinous exoskeleton-bearing animals such as trilobites and soft-bodied nautiloids from Silurian reef assemblages (at the very least) which predate chordates by millions of years (Bringing Fossils to Life; An Introduction to Paleobiology by Donald O. Prothero, McGraw-Hill 1998)! Our boy roadrunrnch seriously needs to go to school before engaging in such ridiculous speculative forays.

You’re still leaving a lot out, since that’s only the 3rd person perspective. Trying including the 2nd and 1st person also.
NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!

THERE IS NO leaving out ………..Focus,,,

I am TRYING TO show that , something can not happen in NOTHING.

Remember….0+0=0 There is no something to leave out !

nothing…………000000000000000000000+0=0
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((0))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

That’s the false assumption since there is always something rather than nothing so that it’s only fragments of a whole and never just nothing.

Seppuku is the proper approved Japanese word for ritual suicide.

Hi pennsyltucky9, what RR is trying to tell us I think is the Saint Thomas d’Aquinus argument called “maxime verum”. As “nothing” is impossible, must be something “always”. Everyting pass is born and die, so anything is nothing. But as nothing is not possible, must be something (not “anything”) always existing and this is god.
If nothing exists then god exists. I think Kant has debunked this argument, don’t remember how exactly.
But it is easy to see that the argument only works when you put the existence or inexistence of nothing in a timeframe. The argument uppose a “before” a time when everyting does not exist except something (god), and a “creation”.
The problem is that if the universe does not exist, time don’t exist neither. Time and space and the current reality where things exists is totally conistent. “Before” the “creation” is not only a place where nothing is, but also a moment where time does not exist.
RR the “nothing” you are speaking about is not only “nothing” but also “notime” no place no time nothing. So RR do you think there “was” a god in such a no-moment and no-place?

Sorry for my late comment on seppuku. I’ve GOT to get to my mail earlier!

:twisted: Go ahead an try to focus on nothing :wink: and try to prove it :twisted: Then I’ll show you evidence that it does contain something :lol:

OK OK OK OK OK:

Words are fucking us up. lets try.

A=All that is
0=absolute nothing
G=GOD ( unknown value )
……0+0=0
……A+0=A
……0+A=A
……0+0+A=A
……A+A+0=A2
……0+0+0=0
.
synopsis:
Is as expected ……0+0 always equals, 0
and by adding A or 0 to any equation the
out come is the same.

Were as adding, G + 0= A and A + A = A
The out come goes in flux.

…G is of unknown value [ origin ] and can not be comprehended ,
With out the addition of G or A the out come remains static.@= 0.

Did [ A ] or [ G ] come from Nothing ? 0 + ? = A
[AG]=Ag

There have been a few advances since Kant that include evidence like String Theory and M-Theory plus experiences beyond space/time into Non-dual awareness that show that not to be the case.

How is that nothing? At the top it’s mathematical symbolism, if you want to break it apart into it’s elements then it’s a lot of other things and those are also things. But show me where it becomes nothing. Any example you can give will always contain something so your whole premise is invalid to start with

Argon;
[Any example you can give will always contain something]

That is what I have been saying,
Nothing with out [ ? ] will remain nothing..
Something is always somrthing.
Nothing with out any something at all is nothing.

My post was ” look into her eyes and tell me you don’t see GOD.”

So then the Guys stated that Marinas Eyes evolved out of NOTHING
not a god.
THE Vast empty ,
NO something at all.
Not a Molecue . NOTHING!
Mostly no god.

RRR
clueless

I see what you are getting at.
Absolutes. The mathmetician
in me understands the need
for proofs to be exact to be
considered valid. This all
falls down because the rules
are different in physics. The
physicist isn’t interested in
an exact outcome, knowing
that hysteresis is inherent
when applying math calcs
to what a physical system
is actually doing. Absolute
proof to a physicist is still
going to be plus or minus
a few points as compared
to the calculus.

God has not been
proven, or disproven,
mathematically, or
through physics.

Doesn’t mean it isn’t
possible, just very
improbable.

ArgonTheAware is
correct in that the
example of logic
you used in your
example isn’t clear
you do need to
qualify premises
with words, as in
some, few, many,
etc. to know if a
fallacy of logic exists
in a derived premise.

Like Feud said,
Sometimes a cigar

Oh I figured that there had to be a fundamental flaw in there somewhere since whoever said that something can evolve out of nothing is guilty of horribly reducing the subject. Besides being blind to the divine if they can’t see the infinite depths in Marina’s eyes

ChaCha has given me the answer I needed.
Most are not able to comperhen the value of 0
They will aways try to add something to nothing.
For enstance ;
“About my mind comprehending nothing, I find it rather easy. I have even experienced it, just before being born I was nothing,” ( See what I am talking about? )
No, you were something just not a human . You were and are a lot of something. 0=0 aways

RRR
The 0

sepeku.. thats gotta hurt…but its the answer

A long way to go from the 3rd person perspective of chemistry to the 1st person of mathematical abstraction to end up in the 2nd person of the divine in Marina’s eyes.

I used to canoe a lot. I guess that’s not exactly in the same league as sailing a schooner. A good canoeist knows when to jump out of the canoe into the water to save his canoe from getting wedged against rocks and low branches. There was a sharp deck-shaped rock on the Buffalo River (Arkansas) that we used to call the Can Opener. I saw more than a few aluminum canoes bend themselves around it.

Hi Argon.

Nobody said that except roadrunrnch. Anyone could see that the elements that made up our planet were obviously present when life began as microbial cells in the primordial ocean. He’s pretending that that’s all that is known because that’s all he knows. This discussion has beeen evolving for 3 videos. Go back and check through all the comments in “HOT” and “MUTT” vids for the whole sequence.

“maxime verum ” you say this is no-time and no-matter? All I come up with has to do with the Law. I will call it maxime verum. And at the maxime verum ( because there is no before, no-time) at that point [ 0 ] something happened.
That something [ 0 ], is what I call ” GOD.” ( my god nothing to do with religion or some guy in the clouds watching over us.)
And you call .”.Something “.
The ( IT ) that started time and produced matter to create all that is.
Should I change the name I use to ‘Starter” ?

Argon is still trying to get to no-time no-matter. String /, M theory always something, He is trying to inject something into no-time no-matter. keep going Argon, keep going

Cool!

Nice work, micheldiego.

roadrunrnch – once again, the debate was over the theory of evolution, wasn’t it? Evolution doesn’t say anything came from nothing.

Do you accept the theory of evolution, and just have a problem with the big bang theory? If so, let’s discuss the big bang theory.

You said, “Your thinking is ” Out of the cold nothing of nothing. Came all that we are?
Is that it?” No – roadrunner – No – repeat – n-o. That is NOT my thinking, or anyone’s thinking that I’m aware of (except, perhaps, some theories on the origin of the universe itself). We were talking about evolution – evolution does not say that “out of the cold nothing of nothing came all that we are” – i tried to give you non-jargon explanations of evolution and the evidence for it. You apparently ignored it.

I will tell you this, though, NOBODY KNOWS for sure how the universe “began” if it indeed had a beginning. The Big Bang theory doesn’t tell us how the universe came to be – it really starts explaining things about one unit of time AFTER the theorized singularity. http://www.astronomy.pomona.edu/Projects/moderncosmo/Josh's%20Bigbang.html

Remember also that you can always fit God into the scheme of things. Whatever nature is, you are free to posit that God engineered it. Why do you resist that God did under the mechanism of the Big Bang theory? Why do you resist that God may have created the process of biological evolution just as surely as he created the physics that govern how solar systems form and planets orbit each other?

Hello, Marina.
I’m so glad that you picked a Japanese word.
I had no idea that English speakers know the word hara-kiri.
Actually, neither hara-kiri or seppuku are used in daily Japanese. They both sound old, even seppuku. (Part of the reason for it is that not many people kill themselves like that these days.)
I always enjoy your lessons.
Bye!

Nice change-up at the end with Marina-flashbacks.

Is that the same shirt you wore in your stretching video last week? I haven’t gone back to check if it is, but this could be a first – you wore the same clothes twice in a video?

PRIVEEEEET,MIKE! :cool: SOOOO cooooool that you are so deeply interested in our beautiful Russian langauge…i really wish you could start as soon as possible since i think that you will like it so much! however believe me: the CYRILLIC alphabet will be the easiest thing to learn,it is not so difficult as it seems,things will be getting a little bit more complicated when you will have to write in cyrillic italic… the grammar will be definetely the most difficult thing ,as a matter of fact it works such as mathematics with a thousand of rules and exceptions…anyway if you will have some questions i will be ready to help you,and MARINA too,i think!

Hi RRR,
Thanks for keeping this chat fiendly, I appeciate.

About “god” if I understood what you said, it seems to me that it all goes to the unknown density of the universe:
A) If the density of the universe is low the universe is expanding “forever” and the big bang maybe well be an “initial” point in time and space, an anomaly. Maybe then there is such thin as a “creation” that as you said is dificult to understand since we are not use in getting “something” from “nothing”. There is then diferent ways in naming this “anomaly”. Some will point out to a “god” with paternal figure and a free will in creating universe. Apparently it is not your case, apparently you see the “anomaly” as something unknowable but perhaps not as something with own will. Anyway I bet you could understand that some can imagine that the “anomaly” could be “something” and not “someone”. And maybe you can even imagine that the “something” could be a property of the universe itself. resuming: if there is such thing as a creation to explain the anomaly caused by the transition from no time and no space to universe we could refer to 1) a god as an individual with will “doing” something 2) a “physical” event a thing not an individual “doing” something 3) an inherent property of the universe, who “per se” can be or not be and switch from one mode to another without intervention of 1) or 2)
B) If the density of the universe is high, the gravity will end expansion at some point and the universe will contract again till coming back together to a unique point of infinite density resulting in a bing crunch. Then it is possible that there is not such thing as a “creation”, but a serie of expansions and contraction of a huge beating drum/heart of gigantic proportion, time and space always have existed and will exists forever sometime expanding sometime contraction and each zillions years passing throug a unique point simultaneously big bang or big crunch.

About my own experience of “nothing” it is of course refering to my reality. What is “the” reality? The universe, my existence, the words naming things? Here we could debate, but egoistically speaking my understanding is that before I was born stricly nothing existed. The age of the universe is my age and once I’m dead it will end. So I still think that I have experienced “nothing” and will experience it again.

I just had second thoughts and I noticed that ancient greeks had three words to say time each one with different properties: the time flowing, the time of the opportunity and the time as a cycle.
Perhaps it is the sign that they already knew that time could be at the same simultaneously or alternativly cyclical and linear, with a will of the opportunity or indiferent to anything else. The last measures of the density of the universe are giving the exact density were universe can or expand infinitly or contract at some point (or both maybe?)

I am responding here because I am to lazy to find the OP.
Your response of time starts with my birth and ends with my death?
I would point you to Solipsism, These are my thoughts too.

I am, by looking back at our posts, not arguing the same point as you. I am trying to point out the spark point of time and all matter.
And you and others , are pointing out evolution of life on the earth after life was established.
As you would agree is billions of trillions of years apart. So there is no chance of a consent .

In a last effort to end this let me just make one concession, God started and evolution took over.

Some of roadrumch’s questions are anthropological, some are philosophical, but most are biological. There are answers to the simpler ones, like the eye and the skull thingee. It all gets back to DNA so start by becoming familiar with those studies – you’re in for a LOT of reading. :mrgreen:

My sticking point with an expanding Universe is , What is it expanding in to.

Is time cyclical or/and linear? This is the first element that needs to be established, everything hinges on this.

We are caught up with being right, more then in being right, at the expense of the truth.

Responding here to your last two posts:
Regarding solipsism it is not so “of-topic” in my mind because I consider it together with a certaiin sort of materialism. If I think that mind needs matter to exist, and don’t buy the duality of soul-body then my solipsism is not only a solitude of the mond but also of the body. What I see is that there is no such thing as survival of the matter nor survival of the “soul”, “I” will not survive, nor in matter nor in spirit (which are the same). So when comparing to the eventual “apparition” of the universe it is not off-topic, because I personnaly experienced already the “anomaly” of having at somepoint a mind and a body when I perfectly know that “before” or “after” there was nothing and there will be nothing. In that sense the “anomaly” is not so extraordinary to need to be called with “god” names. 0+0=A is not so frightning each time I notice that 0+0 =Micheldiego. That why I can perfectly think that being or not being is an inherent property of Micheldiego , and may also weel be an inherent property of the universe.
About your second answer, maybe we should think with a oriental mind where one thing and his opposite is possible.
As logical twisted minds, maybe thinking in quantic mechanics could help, when noticing that something can ACTUALLY be in two different place at the same time (as an example). So is there a truth? Is time or cyclical or linear and not both?

I don’t see how you can state that 0+0=micheldiego.
Isn’t it the case that (Mama/2)+(Papa/2)=Mapa or Pama->micheldiego?

Been there, done that, took the test, wrote the research paper, got an A, and moved on to the next level.

Thanks for the help Superdanilchik. I found a web site that sells cyrillic key boards and or stick on letters in cyrillic that can be attached to your existing key board. They are very cheap in price also. I think I will buy Rossetta Stone for Russian to help me also. Talk at you Later. :smile:

From mama or papa or Bob’s point of view yes, from micheldiego’s point of view no, because before I existed NOTHING existed, no mama no papa no Bob no nothing. This solispsist point of view is a way I used in the discussion with RRR to try to aprehend the emptyness of the existence in a time and place where there is nothing and not time. By just thinking of you before you were born (your mind and your body) you can get something similar to what was the universe before being “created”, in the case of the universe has been “created”, because it could be “cyclical” and existing for ever from big bangs to big crunchs (or the oposite?)

PA tuck9 – I think that there is a serious disconnect throughout (in my experience, American) society concerning the mechanics of evolution.

What I’ve tried to address when talking about it are people’s specific questions. Most of the “arguments” that people make against evolution are really not “arguments” at all. They’re questions. Questions aren’t arguments, although we often imply an argument from what we perceive as the questioner’s intended answer.

For example, one of roadrunnrmch’s “arguments” is “How can life form in a light bulb?” Well, first off, that is not an argument on its face – rather, it’s just a question. The clear answer to that is that there is no answer because life can’t form in a lightbulb. The implicit argument in that question, however, is that roadrunnrmch believes that if life can’t form in a light bulb, then evolution is false. This, of course, is not a good argument, mainly because the theory of evolution does not say that life can form in light bulbs, or vacuums, etc. And, in fact, the theory of evolution does not explain the origin of life at all, but instead explains the changes over time in biological life on Earth (after it came into existence).

Other theories of abiogenesis are around that try to explain how life came about from nonliving matter. However, they still do not involve life springing out of vacuums. They involve lengthy reactions among nucleotides, etc., as can be seen in one of the explanatory videos I posted earlier.

I am really sorry that roadrunnrmch asked so many questions, but then refused to look at the answers. Unfortunately, science often cannot be boiled down to a simple one-sentence answer to a broad question. However, the explanations posted by others and the videos I posted did address exactly what he asked. His only comment afterward, that I could find, restated his incredulity over things popping into existence out of nowhere (revealing that he never heard the explanation, because – again – nobody says things pop in from nowhere).

Well, in any case, I hope he does review some of the evidence for evolution. It has nothing to do with destroying his belief in God, either. God may well have created the universe as it is – if He did, however, he apparently chose to create the process of biological evolution. What could possibly be wrong with that, I am hard-pressed to understand.

Prospero, I agree 100%, but I also understand the resistance, because a naked god who lost part of his attributes, is a dead god (in the sense of Nieszche’s “god is dead”).
OK your reasoning still allows in believing in a figure creating the universe. But then he did not create the most important thing: man? The creation of man is similar to the creation of the ape or the bee, so there is no divine right to use the nature at will (including Alaskan oil)? Most important there genesee can’t be read literally? there is no divine reason for one gender to oppress the other? No choosen tribe either?
By reducing god to the equivalent of an initial spark in a buble (it is what a religious guy is feeling) the remainings have little use for the religion.
You are right evolution is not incompatible with god but it is incompatible with religion.

The reason I asked is that, I seem to remember reading about an anomaly in the amount of matter existing in the universe; one theory to explain this is that, right after the big bang, matter and anti-matter were created in equal amounts, but since then, anti-matter has decayed or transmuted in some way so there is more matter than there should be.
If this were true, then
-M(Anti-matter/Pater)+M(Matter/Mater)=0 (Nothing/Void),
Big Bang,
-> Matter + Anti-matter = A (All of existence)

Does that work or am I raving mad? :lol:

Same here catainjack. I have books, books on tape/cd and a very large collection of VHS/DVD’s. You can watch whole episodes of older TV shows on the internet if you felt like it- you still get commercials though.

OK I got it now and it make sense. But I am not sure that including anti-matter in the equation helps :?: .

I was speaking of something else where there is no anti-micheldiego.

Yea those damn commercials. I still think I need to own a new Infinity EX. I think my life would be so much better when I drive the new Infinity EX. Hey I have to go and do a test drive of the 2008 Infinity EX 35 before they are all gone. Maybe I can sell my yacht and buy a new 2008 Infinity EX. …. NOT!!!!! Wow that was close. They almost had me believe I need that hunk of metal.

Well I better get back to posting. I have to get all this done before I go out and buy a new car… :twisted:

Seppuku (I think I spelled it right)

seppuku – is correct. I first heard the word in the TV mini-series Shogun.

PS I needed to check out the spelling myself. :smile:

Right. The word “Seppuku (切腹)” is more commonly used by the Japanese. And when I’ll talk to a Japanese person, he or she is more likely to understand it.

In our country (Philippines) and some parts of the world, people still use and understand the word “Hara-Kiri (腹切り).” But for some foreigners (including me) who loves to study Japanese may still or will understand the word “Seppuku” and use this word, instead of “Hara-kiri.”

Speaking of suicide (oh, Jesus Christ! :shock: ) by the way, any lessons about “Russian Roulette” and how true it is? Please discuss it to us, Marina. Thanks for your time. Mwah! :smile:

-from Ahszi
(you can pronounce it as “A-si” or “A-zi”, it doesn’t matter)

I think the blade was incerted on the left, moved across to the right then with a inch or two straight up. Follwed by ones head being sliced off……all in a good days work for some!! :shock:

When I did the experiment of ice skating downhill on the street :cool: , with shoes and some alcohol :roll: , I kari-karied my nose :cry: .
(please don´t try that one —–> mayor shock)

actually the japanese hara kiri was suicide but they would stab themself in the belly and if they were fortunate to have served there master well, they would be allowed a friend to cut their head off at the point of massive pain from stabbing himself. this was done in tenko and a few other documentries. the samurai’s whole life was to prepare for death and so if he had done something dishonorable or as u say lost a battle yes ritual suicide would of been done.

the katana was the samurais weapon of choice and is still a beautiful weapon it took 6 months to build and was a work of art and brilliance.

mike

Also Japanese would stab themselves in the stomach to also stab someone behind them. Talk about sacrifice. :???:

nah, that’s just stupid :???:

Yeah, I would just turn around.

lol I was hoping her belly button would start talking in the beginning, ahh if only. Marina and hotforprofits have such great bodies. Good job ladies keep it up … no pun intended =\

You sure are the cutest. Is that a t-shirt or tank top? Word request for this random lesson, we say “here kity,kity,kity” for calling the felines and was wondering if it is related :lol: My dad brought back guns and a sword from Japan; he was with the first troops to march through Tokyo. Love you all nice music, oh my God, I forgot about cat guts they use for strings on their music instruments=========rated 100%

The common name is seppuku.

Love the random lesson button, it’s like a time warp :cool:

i believe the word they use in place of hari-kari is now Bushido

In Japan they use the word ‘seppuku’ instead of hara-kiri.

Gosh! I have so many homeworks to catch up on. :smile:

[RANDOM]…cheap cut in for a lesson[dance]~~~~Tsunami Japan Russia Cnn Breaking News……The Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, currently Thorbjørn Jagland, presents the Nobel Peace Prize in the presence of the King of Norway on December 10 each year (the anniversary of Nobel’s death). —-Russo-Japanese War ROOSEvElT
Main article: Russo-Japanese War
A clash between Russia and Japan was almost inevitable by the turn of the 20th century. Russia had expanded in the East, and the growth of her settlement and territorial ambitions, as her southward path to the Balkans was frustrated, conflicted with Japan’s own territorial ambitions on the Chinese and Asian mainland. War began in 1904 with a surprise Japanese attack on the Russian fleet in Port Arthur, without formal declaration of war. The Russian Baltic fleet traversed the world to balance power in the East, but after many misadventures on the way, was almost annihilated by the Japanese in the Battle of the Tsushima Strait. On land the Russian army experienced logistical problems. While commands and supplies came from St. Petersburg, combat took place in east Asian ports with only the Trans-Siberian Railway for transport of supplies as well as troops both ways. The 6,000-mile track between St. Petersburg and Port Arthur was one-way, with no track around Lake Baikal, allowing only gradual build-up of the forces on the front. Besieged Port Arthur fell to the Japanese, after nine months of resistance. In mid-1905, Nicholas II accepted American mediation, appointing Sergei Witte chief plenipotentiary for the peace talks. War was ended by the Treaty of Portsmouth.

Nicholas’s stance on the war was something that baffled many. Nicholas approached the war with confidence and saw it as an opportunity to raise Russian morale and patriotism, paying little attention to the finances of a long-distance war.[17] Shortly before the Japanese attack on Port Arthur, Nicholas held strong to the belief that there would be no war. Despite the onset of the war and the many defeats Russia suffered, Nicholas still believed in, and expected, a final victory. Many people took the Tsar’s confidence and stubbornness for indifference; believing him to be completely impervious[citation needed]. As Russia continued to face defeat by the Japanese, the call for peace grew. Nicholas’s own mother, as well as his cousin, Kaiser William, urged Nicholas to open peace negotiations. Despite the efforts for peace, Nicholas remained evasive. It was not until 27 March-28 and the annihilation of the Russian fleet by the Japanese, that Nicholas finally decided to pursue peace—-from wiki… :idea:
