Drunken Monkey Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 and there i thought everyone knew what this meant... guess this means you should do some more reading! post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

JerryLove Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I didn't know this was the skeptics forum. You were hopeing for the "blind faith in anything you tell me" forum?Apparently it is laziness that prevents you from finding the answers you seek. Since you are skeptical of the things I have stated maybe you should do some research and find for yourself.I suppose the hypocracy of you, supposedly with the information at your fingertips, being too lasy to make actual reference while calling others "lazy" eludes you? Of course, it's more likely you simply lack any support and so are putting up a red herring.What is it about the skeptical mind that disallows others to believe? Is it jealousy? Is it fear? To quote a friend of mine, "There is no proof, only perception." I'd call that an "appeal to authority" fallacy, but you don't even manage to have an authority. As to the comment itself, assuming the emperical worldvire is correct, there is plenty of proof; but the proof can only be experienced through subjective perception. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunchyfrogg Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 and there i thought everyone knew what this meant... guess this means you should do some more reading!

KwicKixJ1 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 this is gonna sound kinda weird. but i used to have really bad hip problems back when i used to study tae kwon do. my grand master studied qi gong extensively (weird huh... tae kwon do grand master studying chinese healing arts) but anyways... i told him what was wrong and he looked at me, told me to close my eyes and waved his hand around my chest a few times. he said that i had a lot of tension in my chest area, which was causing my lower body to be off balance... hence the bad hips. he then told me to close my eyes again and waved his hands around pretty quickly (from what i felt) in front of my chest. no touching tho... he put his hand on my wrist once, that's about it... then he told me to kick... and i swear i'm not lying... the pain was gone. this was pain that was bothering me for MONTHS... afterwards, he hooked me up with a couple of free accupuncture sessions (that all made me very sore from head to toe) but yeah... the pain went away. permanently. pretty awesome stuff if you ask me.

Psychoassasin Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 You were hopeing for the "blind faith in anything you tell me" forum?No, more like the "open minded Eastern tradition/phylosophy" forum.I suppose the hypocracy of you, supposedly with the information at your fingertips, being too lasy to make actual reference while calling others "lazy" eludes you?Yeah, I'm lazy. I never said that I wasn't. You know how long it takes for a page to load on dial-up? I tell you what, you answer my questions, I'll answer yours...Of course, it's more likely you simply lack any support and so are putting up a red herring.I do not lack support, nor do I have any herring. I do have salmon though...I'd call that an "appeal to authority" fallacy, but you don't even manage to have an authority. As to the comment itself, assuming the emperical worldvire is correct, there is plenty of proof; but the proof can only be experienced through subjective perception.I have never done well with authority. Though there may be plenty of evidence, emperical and otherwise, it does not constitute proof. Unless you want to deny the definition of proof.

Stold Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 I was going to post, but, uh, Jerry said everything I wanted to. Psychoassassin, making claims that ki fireballs are real with no tangible evidence at hand doesn't do much for your credibility. The least you could do is tell us where to find it.

Cybren Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Our bodies burn oxygen as energy in several different ways. Err, not exactally. Oxygen is used by cells in our body to convert glucose into ATP. Aerobic respiration produces far more ATP then anareobic respiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
