I'm bored so I'm just asking a random question

If you make a clone of yourself and that clone is going to kill you, but instead you got the better of him/her, is it consider murder? Don't say it's self-defense because that's not an option. The only options are Yes, why? and No, why? Thanks!

Life is not fair, it just plain is not. Now, I am not talikng of having life easy or understandable, just fair.

Think about it for a second and you will get what I mean. Is life fair to the child who dies of starvation? Is life fair to the people who die in a plane crash? Is life fair to the victims of a serial killer? No.

So my question is why is life not fair? Why is it that some have wealth, security and prosperity and others have none? Why is it that some have to struggle for everything that they have and other just breeze through?

Iife is not fair, Why?

Please explain your reasoning.

Serious answers only.

Thanks.

We use dummies and cadavers to experiment with, but when would it be considered moral to use a person as a dummy. If people could be harvested without souls, or nerve endings, or emotion- would it be okay.

At what point could a person become a very complex and intricate tool for another's use?

Is it ok to mostly stay to oneself?

I think i am an introverted and I feel better when I spend time mostly to myself but people around me are more outgoing and sometimes when I am around people I don't really know what to say and at times I am afraid that I may say the wrong things and embarrass myself. As a result people tend to well ignore me because I am not as outgoing as those who are around me and it makes me uncomfortable with who I am. It makes me uncomfortable in my own skin and I am starting to get tired of trying to be somebody that I am not. I dont understand why I am the way I am but I can't do anything about it. i don't even know anymore....

Why would a majority fake persecution? Do they genuinely believe that they are, or is it marketing (us vs. the world)?

This seems to create many peoblems for people, because not everyone can find meaning and succsess in these set goal. Society seems to have ready made patterns, paths hich ona can follow inorder to have a good life. Anyone that creates his own path, out of these ready made paths become exluded and what seems like punished for not contributing to society in the manner that valued. it seems to create problems for those who can not find themlves or follow in these ready made paths and goals, it seems to make it hard for people to find out their own uiqeness and potentials. The time, space and freedom needed to realize this is very hard for people, when society gives no sopport for this, one must half way drop out to do this ot seems. Society seems to be narrow and limited in the direction it takes, the values and goals it has. It doesent allow for progrees in areas which it can not get something from, like in th art, if you graduate with a BA in economics, rather then art, you will be

I'm restricting my question to the USA since I am most familiar with the American system of rule. By "lie," I mean that act which involves making a statement that is either intended to deceive or that is not in accord with what one internally cognizes.

As I see it, our lives are governed by the knowledge that eventually, what we have going right here, right now is going to end. Whether or not you believe in a god or an afterlife or reincarnation or whatever, as far as I've studied no belief system says that we get to do exactly the same thing again.

I'm an agnostic. I don't know if there's an afterlife, I don't think it's possible to know. My death gives my life purpose and meaning. If every day is a battle against Time the closest I can get to winning is spending my time in the best way possible. If there's an afterlife, good. If not, good. If the afterlife is divided up in to different sections for different people, I hope I make it in to a decent one or at least get to spend my eternal afterlife with the man I love.

Haven't seen any good reason to believe in a specific system thhough, and while I respect all beliefs as having an equal shot at being right, please keep your religion to yourself.

In your answers, please

Would you rather live an unfullfilling life and everyone know about about you, or a fullfilling life and no one know it?

Why?

I was thinking a rock or stone or something. Perhaps a stick with a rock tied to it. Maybe a flare gun or harpoon...

Tell in one sentence for each how it is affecting our beautiful Mother Earth.

And if you had 100 million dollars how would you change it?
And if you had what you have now...how would you change it?

Is "thought" merely a biproduct of electrical impulses in the brain? Could it be a form of energy that affects things in a similar manner to sound waves or light? I'm inclined to think of it as both. I see "thought" as a form of energy produced by electrical activity in the brain that leaves an imprint on the surrounding environment. Everyone has heard the term "vibes". What do you think?

I will note that I'm not current on recent discoveries in this general arena. Any information (links, suggested reading) is much appreciated.

It would instantly kill those with the disease, but it would ensure that the disease was never an issue in the future.

On one hand, you would end lives, and on the other you would save them. My personl opinion is to do it, more lives would be saved than lost.
