I live in the groundfloor of a fourplex, the whole building is mostly wood, and I can hear everything my neighbor on top of me does, on top of that, he uses his unit as a gym, so i could really hear thumping all the time. I know it is not his fault with the squeaky building, I don't want to sound mean or unfriendly, what is the best thing to do?

I am a Westerner myself and why is that "most' others like myself have a tendency to disrespect older folks, impatient, have sex before marriage, more selfish, less loyal and patriotic to ones country?

Remember back in the 50's and 60's when respect and honor is paramount? When young men were gentlemens to young ladies and these ladies dressed and acted in modesty. Now we have young girls dressing up like hookers and young men acting like thugs, especially in the Western culture. Whats even worse is that most of us idolize Westerners like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Jenna Jameson, and Snoop Dogg. The young generations in other countries are also looking up to these icons.

We all know these people live superficial lives and we may deny the fact that we are superficial ourselves, however, the reality is that most of us who lives like this are living empty lives that lack significance. The end result will be depression.

Some people believe ignorance and stupidity are synonyms. Do people just not know the correct definitions of each, or is it a reasonable mistake? Why can they be perceived as synonymous, and what makes them two totally different terms.

Jehovahs Witnesses Ski, Snowboard, have parties (no alcohol or immorality though) and some have traveled the world and on top of that, they are genuinely good people who care enough to teach people of all kinds about the bible and Jehovah and his son. What compels them?

On one hand it represents development, discovery, findings
ect., on the other hand it can't explain or answer (at least to the satisfaction of many people) important questions and woders we all have about life itself. Bottom line what is sience trying to discover at the end? In a way science is material, the scroll of the law is spiritual. doesn't that make you all (scientists too!) want to stop and think? Keep in mind that the Bible/Torah/ scroll of the law whatever you may call it, is the "best seller" of all times in all history, witch means that it is a theory that proves itself to be right.

Is it the soul? Or what? If it is the soul, why does the person die when an organ in the body stops functioning? And what connects the soul to the body?

What do you think? What do you know?

I prefer an Ultimate Theory - arguments?

Some would argue there is no Ultimate Theory of the universe on the grounds that if there were complete set of laws, that it would infringe on God’s freedom to change His mind and to intervene in the world. It’s a bit like the old paradox: Can God make a stone so heavy that He can’t lift it? But the idea that God might want to change His example of the fallacy, pointed out by St. Augustine, of imagining God as a being existing in time. Time is a property only of the universe that God created. Presumably, He knew what He intended when He set it up. With the advent of quantum mechanics, we have come to realize that events cannot be predicted with complete accuracy but that there is always a degree of uncertainty. If one liked, one could ascribe this randomness to the intervention of God. But it would be a very strange kind of intervention. There is no evidence that it is directed toward any purpose, if it were - it wouldn't be random.

In "The Elements" Euclid defines a point as "that which has no parts."

How can any "that" exist with no parts?

(No, I'm not doing my homework.)
