Philosophy - August 2007

someone once said
In society, artists are on the frontline, creating ideas and shaping culture
Then comes the scientists and engineers who translate those into pragmatic usage
Thirdly, the politicians instigate and utilize those infos of the scientists.
On the last line, philosophers and social scientists reflect, record, and respond to the actions of the politicians.

Why not put the bodies out for scavengers?

The town where I live has more land devoted to cemetaries than parks.

I've read numerous articles talking about corpse bacteria showing up in drinking water. Because scavengers will take care of the body a lot faster than decomposition, it seems like that wouldn't be as much of a problem if the body's left out for animals.

So what is the point of devoting so much (the land required for cemetaries, materials required for a casket/urn, and the fuel required for cremation) to decaying matter?

I have always wondered if the the number 0 actually exists. I mean, how can it? Sure what might appear to be 0 is actually 0.000000000000000000012 or something like that. I don't see how NOTHING could actually exist.

By this I mean, how could any action have no effect on something that is apparently "too far away" to be affected?

E.g. by waving my hand, would the air displaced cause a tiny reaction to something a thousand kilometres away, even if by the tinies amount? Surely if you recurse 0 enough, you will actually find a positive or negative value!

E.g. if I breathed on a solid rock for a billion billion years, would the rock eventually be worn down from the very slight friction caused by my breath?

If a man walks out of his house, with the knowledge that, in is path is certain death, is this man commiting suicide?

Or is this possibly something more than just suicide.
Are the facts for his motivation; for leaving his house, more the subject to debate? Than that of the path he willingly took, knowing that it would lead to his certian death?

Suicide is defined as: Intentionally taking ones own life

Has the man commited suicide under this definition?

IF there were CONDITIONS and man "A", ( lets call him joe) left his home with the knowledge that later that day he would die. and by knowing this he still commences his routine, has he intentionally taken his own life?

Or is it man B ( lets call him Bob) who leaves his inhabitance knowing that he will soon face death ( for he is a soldier in a war) but goes about his daily routine with knowledge of his inevitable death?

Wats the diff between Joe and Bob? and is it that, the concept of suicide is in the details?

any guy that has ever picked on a girl for having cramps....should have cramps for about a week.
any skinny little prepy girl that has ever laughed and a "chubby" girl (to her face or not)... should have to live that life for a while.
that anyone who has laughed at the "strange" kid whith her/his firends...should be an outsider for a month.
and i think that anyone who has ever knowingly done something mean to another person on purpose (and they didn't deserve it)...should know what it's like to be on the reciveing end of that unwiltered hate.....

does anyone agree me??
