ghost in the shell was one of those legendary movies.. i remember a lot of hollywood producers/directors who were wowed by it - just a cartoon.
spirited away was pretty awesome too. those japanese people have the monopoly on non cgi animation.

if you were to stand outside an event horizon, and you saw an object get sucked in, it would take what seems like forever for it to go inwards.. on the other hand, if you were the object being sucked in, it would happen within a matter of seconds. so there is no objective time, it's all just relative to the observer.
and then you have the observer effect - through your consciousness, you can affect reality (at the very least) on an atomical level.
what you are mentioning here is just the relativity of time, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it just means it's not a constant. Einstein had the swag! well, my point was that time does not objectively exist.. if it's not objective, the question is.. does it truly exist? factor in the observer effect, and it seems more and more likely that the observer creates "time," but that exact "time" is not necessarily bound to everyone else.

extremism is not the way. if you are hypersensitive to race, then racism wins. make fun of all races and ethnicities equally. black people refer to each other as "nigga" in order to strip the power and meaning in the word.. just laugh about shit instead of taking it so seriously.
inversely, i met a black woman who was angry at the "white man" and referred to them as "white boys." she was not very fond of them, yet she was ultrasensitive about her blackness. how would you feel if a black person called you a "racist honky ass white boy"?

i only like their movies that are good. fargo, which i just recently watched in full, wasn't that great.. but the big lebowski is one of my favorite films.

the existence of time is relative, as discovered by albert einstein. there is no objective, true existence of time.
Can you explain how he thought time could bend? I do not understand that. to be honest, i'm not smart enough to explain it to you in full detail (or even understand it). but general relativity was his discovery about that time and space are part of the same thing - called timespace. through his equations, he figured out that you could dilate time depending on the speed that you are travelling; it is like a fabric. also, two seemingly simultaneous events are not necessarily simultaneous - it depends on where the two event occur in relation to where your position is. In that case I partially agree with you. The concept of time just depends on in what way look at it. We made several concepts that everyone uses.
That is the same with length and math. Why do we say that a certain length is one meter? Just agreements everybody uses.
Exactly, meters are not real, but the "time is not real" statement is actually going a step further. Meters are measuring a distance between two things, time is measuring an illusion given to us by light and movement. spacetime is inseparable.

what makes you think people know they're sociopaths?
look up reddit amas about sociopaths.. there are people who are diagnosed with it.. they just accept it. not all of them are like that, sure, but i'd guess that there are a decent number of them who know.

still shocking that 46% of the people here have a religion.. and fyi, buddhism is not a religion.. since there is no god. i don't consider myself a buddhist, but more like a student of buddhist philosophy. a lot of their beliefs complement physics and the known world too. OK... total votes: 112. Total religious: 52 (46%). Total non-religious: 60 (54%).
The ratio is maintained even after close to 20 new votes. Good.
The thing is, religious people are always pushed to recruit others... they will make up fake accounts just to show they are winning. Non-religious people, meh, we don't care - we know the truth. disagree. there are many atheists who work in the same manner. Not really, maybe a few. I don't care about the results here either. you know how big /r/atheist got on reddit? it was pretty big before the debacle.. and that subreddit was super obnoxious. atheists seem to have that itch they want to scratch, because they have to be absolutely right. OK... total votes: 112. Total religious: 52 (46%). Total non-religious: 60 (54%).

Winning? It isn't about winning or losing. Could it be we actually care about the eternal state of our fellow man? If we really believe that God is real, that he has provided a way for us to be saved from eternal damnation wouldn't it be the right thing to share that with others out of sincere love for them? That is how I see it but I do understand that there is no way I can, or even should force my "religion" on anyone. But I would like others to at least grasp God's love for them. That is the goal anyways. i can dig that.. it's hokum to me, but it's your right. only thing i am against is indoctrination of kids.. whether it be the muslim, christian, or whatever faith.. i'm totally against that.

^ fargo is very dark. also try shameless (US) version.. very dark, but you really feel for the characters.
I love Shameless, but was disappointed with the last season. They replaced a lot of the humor with depressing scenes. i felt last season was the best.. a lot of feels on that show. and man, on fargo tonight... they had an LCD monitor on the show. those did not exist in 1996.

and let's not forget that the new testament, at the very least, was re-written to suit or "convert" romans.. and it wasn't written by "god" but only man who claimed himself to be god.
No, the bible wasn't written by Jesus; the several books that make up the "bible" were written through time, after his death. Then the books that were convenient to the church were chosen and put together, forming the bible we now know. Many decades after his death, in fact. Several generations forgot about jesus, then suddenly people were able to remember ever detail about him. Again - Yep, pretty much... maybe 40 to 120 years later apparently. This interview with Reza Aslan in The Young Turks goes into some detail about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL6E4eMX-4k. i read reza's book on the jesus.. it was a decent read, since it was, you know, objective. basically their priests = our politicians today.

Sorry, didn't mean to put words in your mouth, but that's what I understood you said from "it wasn't written by "god" but only man who claimed himself to be god". i can see how you came to that conclusion.. i wasn't clear. what i meant is that people wrote the pretty much all of the bible.. in god's name, so that it could suit whatever the fuck they want. the bible is just a clusterfuck.. if you are a christian and want to justify your actions, just look to the bible.. and interpret it according to your needs.
