Some of the questions I have read on here are absolutely indicative of stupid people overrunning the planet. Should we enact legislation to somehow physically prevent these people from reproducing?

My aunt gave me a huge sum of money for my birthday....so i decided to spend it all on this thing that she finds useless...now is it ethical for her to dictate how i spend the money?or is it unethical for her to do so because i accepted the money under no such condition?

When this is the case, i can assume that she decided giving me money so that she can control me in the future,make me buy something she wanted me to buy,educate me on investing money wisely, etc(what i mean here is people always do the most selfish thing possible).So am i ripping her off by not giving her this privilege(as in was this a deal that is accepted by everyone without any verbal agreement)?Or am i justified in doing so because i was not aware of the condition under which i accepted the money?And what if controlling what i buy has put me in a much worse condition than when i had no money?

In this, O joy of Kurus, there is resolute insight; but the thoughts of the irresolute are many-branched and endless.

Even as a small flame of a lamp gives abundant light, one should not underrate right-mindedness, even though meagre. The wise, O Partha, aspire for it very much, but this right-mindedness is difficult to attain by everyone. Even as the phosphor's stone is not easy to obtain like ordinary stones, or a drop of nectar becomes available only by a stroke of good fortune, so this right-mindedness which leads to God-realisation is difficult to attain. Just as the river Ganga ends only in the sea, so this insight is the only knowledge which alms at nothing but God.Everything else is perverse reasoning,which is ever changing,and non-discriminating persons always take delight in ft.The latter,O Arjuna. attain only heaven,earth or hell,and do not get even a glimpse of the bliss of self-realisation.

OK, scientist are breaking genetic codes and cloning etc. The question is this: If it was possible to take your brain out of your head and transplant your brain in the body of someone much younger than you, would you know who you where after the operation? Would you have total recall?

I've heard this quote said a few times with apparently no context. I know the author of it but not the original intent of the quote, nor of the citation thereof by most people.

Here is the quote: "Thus spoke Zarathustra." Nietzsche

Enlighten me.

I graduate high school, am now attending college. and all my friends are now stoners. At dinner last night out of the 11 people there, 10 of them are current stoners. late night outtings till 2am with friends seems lame. i have a ton of homework for college.

I was at the movies and saw this advertisment from the La times which said, "Weekends are made for exploring, adventure."

Carpe Diem means Seize the day, to live each day to the fullest even if it is your last.

Being here in southern california for my entire life seems boring. here in norwalk, cerritos, long beach area it seems like i have done it all. there is no longer anything to do.

How can i seize the day when i have a ton of homework, my friends are boring, and im in a city where nothing happens?

What is the point of life? I've been thinking the answer is to enjoy and experience what we can...but what? The weekend is here...so what do i do?

CARPE DIEM....How?
