Well ... I think it is very related... it basically undermines the entire "improbability" of evolution argument. In other words, if evolution is soooo improbable, even if there is a minute chance it could happen, then the existance of infinite universes (or multiverse as TB puts it) would explain why there is such a universe wherein evolution did take place.

By the way, I was reminded of this quote by Winston Churchill: "The potential for loss when gambling on a certainty is infinite." I think that really does a great job in separating the mathematician/theoretician from the really smart ones.

So Den, let me get this straight ... Let's say there is a person A and a person B. You are saying you are not comparing A and B directly. But what you are saying, is there is a generic concept femininity ... call it Lambda ... you compare A to lambda, and make some decision about A. Then you compare B to lambda, and make some decision about B. Isn't that implicitly comparing A and B?

Take 2 dice. Roll them 1000 times and keep track of how many times you get each possible sum 2 ... 12. After you realize 7 came up more than anything else, then try to rethink whether that abstract concept of "chance" has any foundation in real life. Once that is done, then we can move on to Shroedinger's equations.

I LOVED it!!!!

You are not making any sense since if you don't compare, you cannot make relative statements about different women and you either will not like anyone, will be neutral towards all, or will like everyone. I highly doubt any of those 3 cases is true for you. Unless you are saying you don't differentiate femininie and masculine in which case I'd say you got deeper problems than not being able to express how you feel

4) maybe the universe is evolving and natural selection has led to it's physical constants to have the current "good" values?

I was kidding bruin jan Just making fun of Zatik ... after all, this thread is where we get to make fun of him. It's usually a bad sign when a girl tells you "you are kind and funny" ... it sometimes could mean "you are also fat and ugly" But yah ... I am going to try VERY hard to be a good boy now ... edit: Correction ... a good "turkey" now! Azat, I'm just saving you the typing trouble.

Way to go Den! That in itself is quite a fight but then having the right state of mind to get yourself into grad school and all this by age 21 is quite impressive. I say Kudos. My biggest accomplishment to date has been the buffet at Bellagio. Yes, I had a bit of EVERYTHING. I was in a coma like state for 12 hours after that, but I can now say I have done something in life.

OUCH I think Azat would much rather be Tom Cruise right now. And I would say I am in the same boat as him

Azat, for the record, I think you definitely could pass as Tom Cruise's limo driver's brother. I know, I know ... I'm a turkey But LMAO!!!!

I am not so sure. If you ask a typical "traditional" armenian, he or she may tell you that feminine if synonimous with submissive, obedient, and passive. In my version of "feminine", a woman can be quite the opposite of the above yet still be feminine. A woman can be outspoken, caring, nurturing, open, observant, and to some extent rebelious while still not be "butch" at all. Actually, come to think of it, "feminine" in the traditional sense is a big turn off for me

Sheila: Time's have changed Our kids are kids are getting worse They wont obey their parents They just want to fart and curse! Sharon: Should we blame the government? Liane: Or blame society? Dads: Or should we blame the images on TV? Sheila: No, blame Canada Everyone: Blame Canada Sheila: With all their beady little eyes And flappin heads so full of lies Everyone: Blame Canada Blame Canada Sheila: We need to form a full assault Everyone: It's Canadas fault! Sharon: Don't blame me For my son Stan He saw the darn cartoon And now he's off to join the Klan! Liane: And my boy Eric once Had my picture on his shelf But now when I see him he tells me to *** myself! Sheila: Well, blame Canada Everyone: Blame Canada It seems that everythings gone wrong Since Canada came along Everyone: Blame Canada Blame Canada Some Guy: There not even a real country anyway Ms. McCormick: My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer it's true Instead he burned up like a piggy on a barbecue Everyone: Should we blame the matches? Should we blame the fire? Or the doctors who allowed him to expire? Sheila: Heck no! Everyone: Blame Canada Blame Canada Sheila: With all their hockey hubbabaloo Liane: And that bitch Anne Murray too Everyone: Blame Canada Shame on Canada The smut we must stop The trash we must smash Laughter and fun must all be undone We must blame them and cause a fuss Before someone thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus

A "sapling" ... "towering oak" ... then "child"? I had never heard it phrased that way before. By the way, I liked that characterization of the "inverted" woman... always seeing the male as the predator ... and then putting herself in the shoes of the "victim".

Wow that's deep! Welcome aboard Vasak. As you can see, we have some serious Sherlock Holmses running around here! ... 100% Gilligan-a Hye Maybe?

...a "sense" of purpose is a great way to put it. I agree with you completely Anonymouse.

Maybe it was the laptop?

I think he will change his opinion about "illusion" when I administer the "ass kicking" I have promised him Interesting post Fadiushka.

Yes I think the other one is undergoing some cleanup ... we'll merge when done

Ok I understand the distrust of Bush and the tired old hatred of the American foreign policies etc etc .... But come on! Trust Castro more than any other American source? That's just plain silly. And since when is "debating the confirmation of a plot to wipe out Armenians" a measure of trustworthiness in general? And if it is, how did Castro and the Cubans score in this department? Have they earned the Armenian trust?

Very well said!

Actually I was going to say something right after Arpa's post but something came up and I got distracted I think we need a 24/7 moderator ... know of anyone extra?

Hey Armat is cool as usual ... his post was meant to be sarcastic so that's why there was a simily at the end. Let's go back to discussing boobs and inspector boobo ... where do I sign up?
