Keeping in mind Shakespeare's famous statement:
"There's neither good nor bad in the world,
just thinking makes it so."

What is your say about these lyrics?
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

Now ask yourself
Where is the love? (4)

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me questionin
Where is the love?

I believe euthanasia should be legalised! I think it is immoral to allow people to suffer their last days/weeks in pain. At least euthanasia will allow people to die in dignity! And also think about the family - I would imagine it is not pleasant to watch a loved one die whilst they are clearly suffering (e.g. AIDS).

We do not think twice or think it is immoral when a pet has to be put down, yet when it comes to human life (which some would argue is more important than other animals life (I don't)) we allow them to die, in my opinion, in an inhumane way!

I would like to hear other people's views on this matter! Please bear in mind I have also considered reasons as to why it should not be legalised, and although I agree with some of the considerations, I feel the pro's outweigh the con's.

My question may sound a bit philosophical and a little odd.
But when one is faced to take a major decision in life such questions are important to consider, I think.

What do you expect from life ?
What should you expect from life ? BE REALISTIC PLEASE.
What should one do for one's friend ?
How much should one go "out of one's way" for a true friend ?

Please advise me with your illucidating opinions.
I may be knowing some of these answers but presently I have forgotten most of the correct answers. I am very busy with my work and hard pressed for deadlines with immediate gains.

So all answers are most welcome. Even if you think it is an obvious answer, I will appreciate if you would put it here.

"Critically consider arguments for and against the theory that mental states are inner representations that explain behaviour. What kind of mental representations might be involved, if any?"

hey guys, I have a pretty good life but for a couple months now (since the summer ended) I seem to just get sadder and more miserable. I have a lot of good friends but when I'm alone I am sad. What can be causing this? I am starting to worry.

What exactly are you waiting for in life?

people usually have faith in living persons. But, because such persons can abandon and hurt us, it is good to believe and rely in objects. For example, your computer or your TV set will last one, two, five or ten years and more - so, in that time you can enjoy the pleasure and good time from your computer or TV. Next, it is much better to rely on your expensive car than in your wife because the car is always there for you and it cannot dissapoint you and it is more reliable than your wife.
Also, it is much better to trust in photos of pretty girls and even in porno movies because they are always there for you. Also you can trust in movies and CD-s from your colection and in your HIFI system. In such way, when you like sex, you will have it; when you like movies, you will have it, when you want emotions you can listen to love songs. All of this is much better than to trust your wife.

Is it time to start the panic or should we just do as we always do and put it off until tomorrow in the vain hope that it will get better?

We make judgments through comparative thinking. First we perceive information through our senses, then we conceive it by cross referencing it to previously existing information (everything you've learned from birth to the present moment). This brings me to my point... the information the human brain is able to perceive/conceive may only be a small fraction of the information which exists. The known universe and the physics we've concluded it's based on may only be part of a much larger form of physics which the human brain can't compute due to the difference in information type. Thus, it makes no sense to conclude with 100% certainty that anything exists or doesn't exist. This is why both theism and atheism are obsolete ideas and agnosticism (nihilism, specifically) is the only logical "belief" system. Agreed? Doesn't matter if you agree though, because nothing anybody says matters, since our minds are faulty to the point of total dysfunction.
