In our jobs, where we live, and bad relationships, wasted time, for example. Say you knew the exact day of your death, would it make a difference?

You can decide what political and social philosophy the society will follow, but you have no idea what your role in society will be. You could be on top or on the bottom. So, for example, you probably wouldn't want to choose a society with slavery, because while you may not have to work and live a life of luxury, you may also get the role of the lowest slave. You also have no knowledge of the abilities or disabilities you will be born with either.

Please be as specific as possible. If you're going to say "capitalism", for example, say whether you would want capitalism with a welfare state or libertarian capitalism or whatever.

Yes, this does come from John Rawls. He thought that most people would choose a certain way. I am just seeing what people actually choose.

I have a friend who is 22 who is in love with Johnny Depp.
Age difference isn't an issue for me(or her) but I did say "did you know that there is a 22 year difference between you two?"

She stated it wouldn't matter if he was 93. "He is timeless" she said.

hmmm......

Johnny depp aside, what makes someone or some thing timeless?

...or any other color, to someone who has never seen it before and expect that they will be able to form the same image of red in their mind that we see. I do not know if my red looks the same as your red. Are colors real?

The whole of the Constitution is void, not just the parts that are in direct conflict with the "Patriot Act", If this government wants to alter the words of the Constitution during times of war, then they should allow gay marriages, and abortion. You can not use the established laws that govern a people to be miss-represented one minute, and want to back them the next, It's is unlawful, and violates the rights of not only the individuals that are being targeted, but the whole people whom these laws govern.

With that said if our government, whom I backed in many instance, decides to go on with the way there deciding to manipulate the laws of the land, then we as a people have the right to get rid of the lot of them, and re-establish the laws and government of said land, as our four fathers once did.

For me it ensures survival. However, if we were given the chance to live without it, I mean, if everything was made and given to us without any of our help or effort needed, would you still like to learn, and why?

seriously...

i know a lot of people who are religious fanatics when it comes to the teachings of the bible.

but, if beings from other worlds and galaxies started arriving on earth, do you think this would change the way people view the bible and god?

i personally think that it would greatly affect it.

especially since it might be argued that their race has been in existance LONGER than ours, they'd definitely be more technological superior to us.

perhaps it would show that GOD is much bigger than we had always thought he was initially, a bigger picture for a bigger plan.

and, just for the record, i'm NOT saying that god or jesus are aliens, okay? i know there will be those that will jump onto that band-wagon when a question like this is asked.

If this source is not morality what else could it possibly be? If it is morality than would capital punishment not undermine the very source of its power? By killing, the government becomes as amoral as the murderer and thus loses its right to power of punishment. In short how can such an amoral monster as government which murders(punisment and war), lies, and uses humans as tools, be the ultimate distributor of moral justice?

I'm thinking of the interior "you." The part that can be around people but yet is still alone; the part that is exclusive to you only. The place that you can share with others but no one can ever enter there.

I'm picturing someone dying who is surrounded by friends and family but yet this person is alone. Whatever happens during and after death, no one there can experience it but the person going through it.

(Not referring to loneliness)

Are you comfortable with this inner aloneness?
