Do you know anything about Deism?

Cyklone comments on Apr 16, 2020:

Seems like just a way to explain the origin of the universe prior to the big bang theory. Like all other theistic beliefs, it's been superceded by science

Saw this on Facebook.

Cyklone comments on Apr 16, 2020:

What good is a grain of truth if it is encased in a boulder of bullshit? You can't get to that small truth before you've been contaminated and choked on the crap.

Kudos to Costco.

Cyklone comments on Apr 16, 2020:

I think they do a pretty good job. I always fill my car there and that saves me around $300 per year on fuel. Easily worth the membership.

How Stupid Are They?

Cyklone comments on Apr 16, 2020:

To quote Einstein: two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. Trump and those that support him demonstrate the truth of that maxim.

If you found out that your significant other cheated on you, would you still stay in the ...

Cyklone comments on Apr 16, 2020:

I've seen it in couples where the male cheats and at other times where the female cheats. Generally speaking, males cheat because they can and females cheat because there is something missing in the primary relationship, but that is by no means a rule and I knew one woman who generally had 4 or 5 on the go, other than her husband, who lived in blissful ignorance most of the time. I've seen couples who regard it as an opportunity to grow and others who just pull the pin. The only constant I've seen in those that continue successfully is the degree of respect remaining between the couple.

Would you want to move to or live in a country, State, or society that is basically the same as your...

Cyklone comments on Apr 15, 2020:

You could just move to japan, about 95% atheist. They don't ban religion, they just ridicule it as is happening in many other countries in the western world, even to a lesser degree in the US. Wait a few generations and your wish may be granted.

Hypnotic. Thank you. 🙂

Ok, parents, whats the right age to talk to boys about the birds and bees?

Cyklone comments on Apr 14, 2020:

Normal recommendations are that you stick to the facts but keep it very simple

How do you respond to someone who says "I love you" when you don't feel the same?

Cyklone comments on Apr 13, 2020:

I think that when those words are used all the time they cease to have any real meaning. I've also noticed that for some people those words should be replaced with "I own you". In my experience, the attraction to family is so visceral that they're the only words that make sense. Like my children and siblings, I love them on a very deep level, but sometimes they really piss me off. I hate it when those words are said just to get a similar response as well, and from a partner I'll frequently just respond "that's nice" and maybe later say I love you when I feel like saying it. "Love ya" is not something I'd say because it seems like just a other form of goodbye. Very casual and meaningless

Cyklone comments on Apr 13, 2020:

That must be a incredible relief, being able to break two very corrupt relationships, to climb out of the rut and head for the high ground. It doesn't necessarily mean you'll be happier but at least you will again have the potential to be happy. Good luck mate.

This is a pie chart to visualize exactly how much pie is still available.

Searching for a soulmate is futile. Your thoughts?

Cyklone comments on Apr 12, 2020:

I think the idea of a soulmate is corrupt bullshit. It locks people into the idea that somewhere out there is "the one". Or "how can I leave him if he's my soulmate, there'll never be a other". It undermines critical and autonomous thinking. There is no soul and even as a metaphor it conceals the idea that relationships take work, they're not magically perfect and there are many who could be good mates.

My brother died from this pandemic on march 27 at 4:59 PM in Everet Washington.

Cyklone comments on Apr 12, 2020:

It's going to hurt, it's going to hurt for a while and it may never stop hurting. It's like a huge weight lands on your shoulders and although it may not go away, you learn to be strong enough to carry it. Try writing a letter of goodbye and take your time doing it. That can help you get stronger. Drugs and alcohol only postpone the pain which you'll eventually have to face anyway but with interest. I lost a brother 2 years ago and I still weep at his loss, when no-one is watching. Most of the time I'm fine. It just sucks. Take care.

I'm getting restless from being cooped up.

Cyklone comments on Apr 11, 2020:

Pretty much the same for old men. Don't screw with old people, they didn't last that long without serious survival skills

Do you think if someone, who has committed a heinous crime, should be given a chance for forgiveness...

Cyklone comments on Apr 11, 2020:

Perhaps if you were the victim and you found it possible to forgive. But if you're not the victim then it's not up to you. And just because they might be forgiven doesn' t mean they shouldn't spend their lives in prison. I might forgive a dog for biting my child, but I'd still shoot it. In the case of people, punishment serves several purposes and one of them is to discourage others, so they need to be seen to serve their sentences.

Is gender a social construct?

Cyklone comments on Apr 11, 2020:

It might have been better to call it sex (xx or xy) and "gender orientation". There is quite a lot of evidence to suggest gender orientation is biologically determined. For instance, the percentage of homosexuality is fairly consistent across cultures (4%), and can also be seen in rats and dogs. It is a short step from there to surmise that many other gender orientations are biological as well. I suspect that gender orientation exists on a spectrum biologically (or several spectrums) and those who are closer to the centre of the spectrum can be influenced environmentally. Personally, I think, who cares. If I meet someone I don't say, before I shake your hand who do you fuck? I'm also a bit envious of bi's. Twice as many possible partners 😂

The "care" package my daughter sent me while we were in quarantine, so we would not go crazy.

Are you going to eat that chocolate?

Understanding requires open mindedness.

Cyklone comments on Apr 10, 2020:

With the proviso that your mind is not so open that your brains fall out. (Dawkins I think) And saying there is never a right or wrong answer is skating along that line.

Oh shit, I should've it would too good to be true.

Cyklone comments on Apr 9, 2020:

Might look good up on youtube 😄

I am becoming very adept at using my elbows for things I used to use my hands for.

Cyklone comments on Apr 9, 2020:

Making pasta. I enjoy cooking but have never made my own pasta so I bought a machine and have been doing ok. Oh, and making hand sanitiser. I borrowed my still back from my son and I'm making a few litres of hand sanitiser for the family.

The chicken that visited me last night was named moustache.

Cyklone comments on Apr 8, 2020:

It's very nice to hear of a happy ending. 😊

Who avoids discussing religion and spirituality?

Cyklone comments on Apr 8, 2020:

I don't normally discuss religion or spirituality because they either agree with me and then there's nothing to discuss or they're not worth wasting time on. The problem occurs when I start to think that about everything. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

New partner after a long time relationship finished?

Cyklone comments on Apr 7, 2020:

If you think you're giving away freedom then you're going down the wrong path. I think a good relationship should make both partners feel more free.

I just watched Trumps daily clown porn.

The best job I ever had was managing a theater.

Cyklone comments on Apr 7, 2020:

Squeezing fish??? Why would you need to squeeze fish? The worst was my first job, grading bricks. The best was my second, a young man in the RAAF in Malaya. Lots of mates, lots of parties, lots of money and lots of girls.

There was a time that I needed this.

Cyklone comments on Apr 7, 2020:

Things that will give you inner peace if ypu practice them. 🙂 Have you noticed that there seems to be a vast gap between those that say "yes, I agree, that's right"and those that say nothing but put these things into practice?

What are the only things of which you are completely certain? E.g. That you think

Cyklone comments on Apr 7, 2020:

I am completely certain that when I die I will be dead, completely utterly dead. And you know what, I won't care, because I'll be fucking dead.

Anyone interested in having a philosophical conversation

Cyklone comments on Apr 7, 2020:

Are you aware that the discipline of philosophy is diametrically opposed to the concept of a god. Philosophers of old specifically looked for ways to free people from the yoke of religion. Even now you can earn one of two doctorates, a PhD (philosophy doctorate) or a ThD ( theological doctorate). The conflict hasn't changed.

Bullshit, I'm an atheist but I know the bible. They are disobeying god, tell them to read matthew 6: 1-7. In that they are commanded to pray in a room by themselves.

Is sound a vibration in the air or the way that vibration is interpreted by an animal brain.

Is marriage over?

Cyklone comments on Apr 5, 2020:

I hope it's over. My observations are that marruage is one of the fastest ways to destroy a relationship. You see people live together for years so they decide to get married. Then within 6 mths they're divorced

Cyklone comments on Apr 5, 2020:

Bloody arseholes. I bought a couple of rolls in the supermarket today as I was down to my last 4. Most supermarkets in adelaide have loo paper now but because they only get.a delivery once a week they are only putting a bit out each day and it's getting sold out within a couple of hours. If you get to the shop first thing in the morning you may get it.

Near death experience

Cyklone comments on Apr 4, 2020:

My most memorable near death experience was when I got pinned under a descending load of collar on a rig (really heavy pipe). The crane operator couldn't see me and had to rely on another bloke signalling him. By the time the load stopped it was brushing my chest as it swung. I thought I was gone but I still remember the words in my head just before I thought I was going to die. They were: "well, it's been a f###ing blast".

Why all the hate?
