If they aren't, how exactly do you end up having a bunch of people with the last name Smith?...or Nguyen? Does Nguyen mean anything, or is it equivalent to names designating an occupation or locale (Smith/macher=maker, Berg=town)

If after everything there is space, and space is something, then what's "nothing", I mean after space isn't there just space? I see "nothing" as more of a figure of speach, that just means the lacking, or apsense of something.

If Frog doesn't return Toad's calls, should Toad just presume Frog's busy, or should Toad presume that he did something to piss off Frog? I don't remember this story being in the Frog and Toad books.

Duties are either positive or negative. If a duty is natural, then humans must be subject to that duty at birth. If one is subject to a duty, then she is capable of fulfilling it. Humans are not capable of fulfilling positive duties at birth and therefore are not subject to them. And so as humans are not subject to positive duties at birth, positive duties are not natural. Humans are capable, however, of fulfilling negative duties at birth (for to do so they need do nothing). In being capable of fulfilling these duties, it follows that humans are subject to them. So as it is the case that humans are subject to negative duties at birth, it follows that negative duties are natural. That which is natural is clearly prior to that which is artificial or conventional. Thereby anything artificial or conventional must come from something that is natural. However this is a self-contradiction. A pure duty is one that exists without a triggering action, and so there can be no pure positive duties

Are successful people happy...?
I keep hearing about tips on being happy. Many recommend making goals, writing down goals, accomplishing goals, etc. So I'm wondering, is being happy basically come down to accomplishment? Is that what makes people really happy?
Are people who've "accomplished their dreams" set for life, and wake up every morning extremely happy and have no worries? Why go through all the extra effort and arduous tasks needed to become successful if happiness isn't guaranteed? You could end up living as a machine, tirelessly pursuing happiness but never quite catching it.

What is it about Harry Potter, from the books to the movies to the toys, that makes it something that certain people see it as the work of Satan?? What about the LOTR, The Wizard of Oz, The Worst Witch(remember the HBO movies back in the 80's based on the books?), and all the rest of the magical stories and movies that are out there???? What makes Harry Potter such a different type of enigma that extremists see it as a threat, when they themselves have not even taken the time to read the books or watch the movie, as they feel they will be tainted, turned to frogs, damned to Hell, etc.

My theory is that the Harry Potter books and movies are not just about people living or visiting a Magical land, as Dorothy did in Oz, but that it's about children learning spells and magic.....however, they are doing this in a make-believe world, where people fly around on brooms.....and, if you notice, they celebrate Christmas, NOT Yule.....which I find rahter odd.

Anyone else care to have a go at this??
