Could all these people and millions others be stupid in believing in God and some of our forum members be super geniuses and that they’re reasoning stands on much superior grounds? Being cynical is easier since it requires minimal mental activity. Yes dear Ruben, it is ENTIRELY possible Since there is no test which will confirm or deny that basic premise of God, since that model seems so perfect in explaning everything, and since that model tends to explain things AFTER things have occured (i.e. there doesn't seem to be any prediction capabilities in that system), me and my simple mind have no choice but to not put too much weight in that model. I only trust "models" that I can personally test and verify. The "God" model of explaining things is just too simplistic and too easy ... plus it is NOT testable. Therefore, it's useless as far as I am concerned. However, for some, it seems to provide the answers they seek in life which I guess in some sense is good.

Wow, Nairi ... but if in fact that turns out to be true, I would say it's an extraordinarily awesome way for a word to get a certain meaning!!!!

All I know is, those types of clothes that girls wear and the behaviors that were mentioned above, do certainly grab my attention. It's just a program that is in my brain and other parts of my body that I simply don't have much control over. I guess you could say GOD made me this way since I am very certain I didn't learn it from any media ... So, now if a girl wants that kind of attention, then so be it. I can certainly understand why some would want to take advantage of one of my very few weakness like that!!!! As far as rape and the discussion surrounding it, let's not confuse thoughts and actions. Rape is a violent and criminal ACT. There is simply NO excuse for it (so i totally agree with Loreley on this). However, thoughts and attractions can be, and certainly are induced (at least in me) with girls wearing revealing clothing and their suggestive behavior. These thoughts rarely lead to any action on my part since I think that is one of the key factors setting me apart from, and above other animals (lower life forms). But I have to admit sometimes it takes a LOT of restraint, because some girls certainly tend to make it very hard (pun intended) for us men ... to deal with those thoughts ... But since I am sure most of them know it and they want to do that, I don't really see a problem here. [ December 21, 2002, 12:44 AM: Message edited by: Sip ]

Then, they will realize that it doesn't really matter what women do cause they can proactively control themselves ... and the balance of power shifts again [evil laugh]ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha [/evil laugh]

I haven't tried that one yet but I'll certainly give it a try! Thanks for the hint.

Hehehehe ... either that or she was a "pro" A friend of mine says, that's what he always pictures when he hears "classy" being used to describe a woman ... also "high class" ... but Jug, if she wasn't a pro, I'd say you definitely got your xmas present early this year Stormy, I know exactly what you mean! Our cat will bite and scratch and tear a big gash down to your bones before getting to the vet ... but when we are there, she get so scared that she wont even blink!!! It's quite a scene.

quote:Originally posted by TigrannesIII:girls have to respect themselves first. a girl who has half of her chest hanging out or if i can see her underwear through her jeans because they're so tight...... they shouldn't expect me to respect that. i'm not sayin you do that, but so long as there are other girls that do that, it's going to be that way. i honestly think the muslims are on to something- in a way. Tig, except for that last part, I totally agree with you for a change!!!

Oh my God! Another TBN fan!!! I LOVE that channel. I have to say it is some of the BEST stuff on TV, especially late at night. Yes, I even actually prefer TBN than to watching those STUPID "girls gone wild" video commercials. My favorite preacher is McHammer though. His surmons just speak to me. I just want to get up and scream oh LORD I am a witness to your Powaaaaa .... I just want to stand up and testify to the power of the lord that I feel inside me ... Dion Sanders is another one that I like to listen a lot. The only one I really hate is that very ugly looking old woman with 7 layers of makeup on her face... not sure what her name is.

Ok, now that we REALLY confused things, let me ask this: (Movses I know you'll hate me but this question popped in my head this morning and the other thread is closed ) Varduhi -> Vardush Tsaxgouhi -> Tasxgush Sirouhi -> Sirush Gayane -> Gayush There are a lot of abbreviated female name endings that end in ush ... especially among barska hyes that I've heard of. Is this ush maybe the same 'ush' as in Anush? [ December 19, 2002, 01:36 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]

quote:Originally posted by nairi:Mosjan, this is EXACTLY what I've been trying to say from the VERY beginning: are we girls merely marmin to guys? Or do our personalities also count? I'm so sick of guys judging me by my looks! Can they for once (!) concentrate on my personality? Honestly? A bit of personality and brains can make up for a LOT of "marmin". But at least a few times a day guys think of nothing but "marmin". But to answer your question, EVERYONE judges by looks. Don't tell me girls don't INSTANTLY judge someone by their looks as well. Actually, I'd say guys are probably more innocent in their judging as they see what they see and think the rather obvious! (or maybe it just seems obvious to me ) I just have this feeling that women on the other hand, seem to come up with entire stories in their minds, very complex in nature, that can be very far from the truth at times. But don't expect anyone not to judge you by your looks. They ALWAYS will. More than 40% of the brain is dedicated to processing visual info so it's not that unnatural... especially for males, who are much more "visual" to begin with. FYI, I highly doubt anyone has judged you by your looks in this forum quote:Originally posted by MosJan:Sephan jan Kenats@t Anooshed lini Movses jan ... and thanks (to both Mos and Nair).

Yah, I'd say probably after page 4 of basically any topic, things often tend to get VERY interesting (sometimes even earlier). Here are a few dishes that I am expert at: (note: add appropriate amount of garlic powder in each dish). 1) Tuna melt: can of tuna (drained) roasted with cheese and lemon juice) takes about 5 minutes to make. Served on toast bread. 2) Omlette surprise: 5 Eggs, some ready-made salad (all cut up), cheese, hot sause, mushrooms, and anything else I can find in the fridge ... mix and heat. Takes about 5 minutes to make. 3) Chicken surprise: Throw in some chicken breast in #2. Takes another 5 to 10 minutes (mostly to cut the chicken up). 4) Teriyaki Chicken: Cut up the chicken from #3 in very small pieces, cover with some raw eggs and bread with "breadding" and seasonings to your likeings and throw it on the stove on high heat. Drown it in teriyaki sauce and wait till it cooks (the liquid disappears somehow). Takes about 10 minutes.

Vava, I KNOW!!! It took me just a few weeks to realize what Hye Forum was really about. One word: irrelevance. Sorry for "ruining" your thread. I can't really put my finger on it but somehow, I think this deserves to get the award for BEST POST OF THE YEAR

I would love to cook but everytime I start, the stuff gets eaten before the dish is done So I have never had a final "cooked" meal so to say. ... well, I guess you have to make sure things taste perfectly throughout the cooking process. I just make a little bit TOO sure

So when when when when when? I can't wait!!!!

Supermodels: Except maybe Tyra and a very select few who are a bit more than flesh and bones. As far as "girly" men, that is total BULL! That's what women say but in the end of the day, they all want a good looking masculine man who is smart, romantic, has a great sense of humor, is well established, confident, likes to take walks on the beach, is sensitive to their needs, takes care of himself, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah But since they can't have that, for obvious reasons, they start lowering their expectations to more practical scenarios

That's actually where the term "dumb ass" comes from. It has nothing to do with the human body part. Also, "make an ass of yourself" and "jack ass" ... they all refer to the "donkey" meaning of ass.

Actually, my mom's name is Anoosh So knowing my grandparents, I doubt they would name their first child something that had a persian root!!! But of course keep in mind I'm just a 1's and 0's guy

quote:Originally posted by Loreley:I don't believe that degrees (although I want to go back to school to have more knowlege and use the priveldge of having an education to help others), tittles, jobs define success. AMEN TO THAT!!! I couldn't agree more. In some people's minds, all they need to do is to GET the degree, no matter HOW they get it. But in essence, the "degree" itself is just a piece of paper and not much more. Your personal definition of success definitely makes sense.

quote:Originally posted by nairi:Sip, isn't that nuts? It sure is. By the way, you used the word "context"! That is the KEY difference between languages that computers can understand and treath well, and languages that can cause computers a LOT of trouble ... as opposed to humans. Computers can't deal with "contexts" too well. So if a language is context-free, then computers can deal with it. Most programming languages that I know of, fall in the "context free" category. There are some people that spend their entire lives working on the theory of languages, and languages that an "automaton" (like a computer) can deal with ... The theory behind it is fairly fascinating and probably the backbone of theoretical computer science. Example of a "context", whan someone says: "it's cold" We can usually figure out what that person is talking about ... most likely about the weather. But the weather is the context in that case and in general, for a computer that is VERY hard to figure out It may require a lot of analysis of the accumulated knowledge (and past experiences maybe) and also some inference based on that knowledge. For now, humans are far better at those things than computers [ December 15, 2002, 03:06 PM: Message edited by: Sip ]
