<p>Don't be afraid to speak out about what you think. Questions NEED to be asked.</p>
<p>I personally hate religion. It is just a mechanism that quells our fears and questions. When many people are around me that believe blindly in their religion, I can get very upset. Often these people are just lost, indoctrinated, and sheltered... and I hate seeing people like that. We need to all open our eyes and see that there isn't really any way for us to know any truth whatsoever. We really just need to cut this blind worship crap (in ALL parts of our lives!!!).</p>
<p>1) Why is prostitution illegal yet being a pornstar is completely legal... they even get a convention
2) How does it feel to be a girl... i know it sounds pretty gay but all guys think about this, some are just afraid to admit it.
3) How would it feel if i lost me leg then tried to move where my leg used to be.. would i just feel nothing or would i feel something weird?
Now heres my religious question: If heaven is so great then why is suicide(supposedly) a sin? I mean isnt it such a rip off that you are forced to live</p>
<p>because it's disrupting God's plan for you or something like that, which brings me to another thing i wonder...</p>
<p>what's it like to be someone who has that gun in their mouth ready to pull the trigger? i've tried so hard to understand this, as i've decided to write a movie about a teenager committing suicide. it just seems like the person has to be so disconnected from the world. it's insane to think of what it would be like to be on the brink of death and to know it.</p>
<p>oh and to #1, i think it's by technicality. Like the people engaging in the acts aren't actually being paid to have sex, but to be on camera while having sex.</p>
<p>"oh and to #1, i think it's by technicality. Like the people engaging in the acts aren't actually being paid to have sex, but to be on camera while having sex.".... naw i think its b/c the gov't can collect taxes on porn, either way i think its unfair... also why is it illegal to be a prostitute and make money but legal to be a poor slut. Lets just make it fair and legalize prostitution</p>
<p>no.. we would also have to make porn illegal in that case...... instead of making 2 things illegal we could just make one thing legal, thats much easier</p>
<p>yes but legalizing prostitution would allow it to be publicized in the open, which would increase its volume as a market, and then STDs, especially AIDS would rampantly spread. It is easier to regulate the porn industry than prostitution.</p>
<p>ok like std's dont already spread rampantly?? Also why is it legal in certain places?? Thats like a double standard like its ok to buy sex here but over there it is completly wrong</p>
<p>I agree that STDs travel rampantly, but can you imagine if every major city legally had prostitutes in the streets...prostitution would raise by a ton. I agree that it currently exists and STDs will always be a factor, but it will dramatically increase the factor of STDs. Look at Africa...there are an insane number of people with AIDs due to prostitution (it may not be direct, but prostitution is a major factor). I agree that there is a double standard with porn and going overseas and whatever, but I think the government should be doing everything it can to reduce risks of spreading the AIDS epidemic, including prostitution.</p>
<p>..wow this thread is amazing... I always wonder about space things like:
everything makes up something [cells make up organs, organs make up humans, humans make up society/countries, planets make up solar system, solar system is among the bigger system] so basically everything makes up something..i wonder what is the completly big picture all these make up..like the last ulimate thing. </p>
<pre><code> And I just can't picture how earth, sun and all the good stuff can be just hanging in the middle of nowhere..u know like where is space what is it...and how does it never end its so wierd its like we are in the middle of nothing.
And maybe just like we are in the middle of nowhere maybe even the animals and stuff wonder these things too..I mean they do live a pretty long life ..i'm sure they wonder something 'cuz then what would they do all their lives just eat food and go to sleep?
Idk if i made any sense ...but that's ok
</code></pre>
<p>to help me understand it. period. not just through watching the final cut, but in actually making it happen. experiencing the pain, even if on a much lesser scale. </p>
<p>and funny thing you guys mentioning legalized prostitution and STDs. Well I happen to live in a city that legalized it during the civil war. you know why? to stop syphillus. and it worked.</p>
<p>"3) How would it feel if i lost me leg then tried to move where my leg used to be.. would i just feel nothing or would i feel something weird?"
me too! its hard to imagine
i also wonder, if i had another hand sticking out somewhere, what it would feel like moving it (that sounds dumb, i know lol)</p>
<p>I wonder if girls fear having kids...going through the pain...I'm thikning most guys wouldn't want to take up that job, I know I wouldn't It's just too much responsibility ot have another person growing inside of you and then ahving the pain of actually pushing the kid out. Good luck ladies...:)</p>
<p>-What is it like to be something not-human? Like, a dolphin or a chimpanzee or a dog or a butterfly or heck, even a tree? Do animals experience a consciousness (thoughts, feelings) comparable to ours?<br>
...which begs the question of:</p>
<p>-Reincarnation: IF it happens...then I've probably gone through several lifetimes already. WEIRD. I wonder what I was?</p>
<p>-Consciousness: We will probably never be able to get inside each other's heads. Our own personal experience of the world is just that: personal. Can we ever share every single detail of the rich inner worlds inside our heads with anyone else? What drives consciousness? Is it merely a result of biological brain processes? Am I, my "self" just a byproduct of electric signals in my brain?</p>
<p>I think...</p>
<p>-We will never be able to prove OR disprove God. It's a matter of faith. I do believe, however, that science can and will reveal much about our world. But it can't explain everything. A scientist can break down and analyze the biology, chemistry, physics, whatever, behind love--but will he ever really be able to explain it? </p>
<p>-Death is scary. I often wonder what it will be like, because of course it will inevitably happen. I can't imagine what it would be like to simply <em>not</em> exist--but then I realize I haven't existed in this world prior to 1988, and that feeling of nonexistence isn't that scary. Is it because I exist right now to comprehend my prior nonexistence?<br>
However, I can't really imagine existing eternally, either, forever and ever and EVER.</p>
<p>Does anyone get freaked out when they go to a planetarium, and it zooms out to show the entire universe? I literally grip my seat in fear. It is frightening to think how insignificant we are in the scheme of the universe.</p>
<p>thechiiguin, I really like your perspective on death and how it isn't scary not existing in the past but it is scary not existing in the future.</p>
<p>Who was I before this life? I love everyone I know soo much, but i imagine that when we die, we sort of get assigned to a "new" life. I am imagine me standing at the gates of heaven waiting to be assigned and just thinking "don't forget what your mom looks like, and remember what dad said, and look aroudn for grandma, etc." but if all that exists it must have been erased from my memory because i don't rememebr a damn thing...no matter how hard i try!</p>
<p>I also wonder what it would be like to be a different person. I am white, so i would love to know what it is like to see things through japanese eyes... are my eyes more closed? can i see better? ... and then i wonder what it would be like to be a gorgeous super model, a hideous person, a super smart person, etc. </p>
<p>i would also want to see how people view me. like an outsiders perspective. I am relatively thin and kind of tall (5'7ish), and when i saw a video of me running...i looked so awkward! I also think that my nose is kind of crooked but my friend has told me that it is perfectly fine. In pictures I look so different, so it is very weird....and i would also wnat to know what people say about me..like, "oh she is pretty. she could lose a few pounds. hey, it's that geeky girl. etc."</p>
