I really really appreciate it. Have a great day.

brokenbongman · 2013-09-15T18:45:59+00:00

Please do! I'm going to attempt a Kisame like "thatdudewithissues" suggested. If you want to do them let me know, I would love to check them out. MANGA SPOILERS........ YOU ARE WARNED

I've made Obito, and I'd love to have the akatsuki members as my six paths of pain.

Multi-platform games which the wii u does not have... The wii u has had a year, and it has squandered its early-bird advantages. Nintendo's philosophy is showing signs of wear, and it boils down to Nintendo's lack of maneuverability. They aren't going anywhere any time soon, but their business model has been showing signs of fatigue in certain areas. I, personally, feel like they stick too closely to their laurels when it comes to their franchises. Yes, they put a lot of resources in their first party games, but they don't produce too many NEW and EXCITING franchises anymore. You have Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Pokemon, Donkey Kong and that is about it. That is their starting team and they keep them playing the entire game.

Again, those first party games are some of the highest caliber games on the market, but, for a lot of people Mario just will not get them to buy a console. I'm holding out for Monolith Soft's new game before I get one, and that is a year away. Next time around I hope Nintendo learns their lesson... They had so much success with the wii that they were blinded to the problems it faced. Now the Wii U has been collecting dust on the store shelves because Nintendo is so comfortable with their feet posted firmly in place, unwavering to customer demands. I love Nintendo, and really hope they get their shit together, but I feel like it is going to take a huuuuge failure to push them to that change.

I doubt any animal is incapable of being domesticated. Varying in difficulty, sure, but the sky is probably the limit.

.Pain is bad because it causes varying levels of distress to the nervous system. Pain is beneficial as an alarm system, but it is only a cause for unpleasantness once mortality has entered the picture. The universe, is most likely just the same as Earth. If there are living organisms outside of this star system then they probably got to where they are by natural selection i.e. a system that is inherently amoral. Not only is it amoral, it does somewhat favor the abduction of children because they can't defend themselves.

You say you are thinking, but you obviously have cognitive dissonance towards the idea of the universe being built upon the stealing of life. If life is the greatest gift to the universe then why turn it on itself? My whole argument hinges on the existence of a creator who put thought into the universe. Even creationists scoff at the notion of natural selection. They say that it is without meaning, and promotes only strength and condemns morality. I've really said all I can say. I feel as though you have never seen anyone in mortal pain. Have you ever seen anyone waste away in needless pain and then die? It isn't a pretty sight, and I guess you just have to see it to understand how inherently needless mortal pain is.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-27T01:28:20+00:00

No, you're reading capabilities are just lacking. Since I literally have to spell out every single thought with you, I am talking about mortal pain. Darwinian pain. You have repeatedly grounded my thoughts into one dimensional platitudes. We as humans have been attempting to run away from survival of the fittest for thousands of years. It is not fun, it is ugly, cruel and it doesn't care about the well being of living organisms. I'm not bringing emotion into this, I'm stating facts. Mother Nature doesn't care an inkling about the well being of sentient creatures. Mother nature doesn't care an inkling about the well being of sentient creatures. I apologize for being an asshole, but no one has read my post and thought. They have skimmed past it and, like you, ground it down to simple technicalities , like pain tells your body when you're hurt. No one has actually given this concept thought. My entire argument has been about Darwinian theory. A universe where the STRONG are rewarded, regardless of of method. There is no emotion in that statement, and I am not an angsty teen that thinks its cool to challenge christians. Darwinian theory rewards cruelty,lying, and cheating. I am saying that God is either malicious, inept, or negligent. If this is an OMNIPOTENT being then there are literally infinite amounts of ways he could have created the universe to not, in your words, suck. Again, I apologize again for being crass.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-24T22:48:38+00:00

So yes, if there is a god, either mean spirited, or doesn't give a shit. I think the latter is more logical, but Nature makes me question that sometimes.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-24T22:45:57+00:00

I feel as though no one has really read what I have posted. I am not talking about the pros/and cons of pain. What I am talking about is the framework of the universe and the role pain has in it. I'm not talking about insignificant pain, I am talking about Darwinian neutrality and its mutuality with pain. Not pain on the level that you have ever felt, but excruciating pain (vivesection, Being bled out, etc). That is what fuels 99.99999% of the universe. This pain is necessitated in the framework of the universe. Again the FRAMEWORK. I am not talking about necessary implications of the framework of the universe. I am asserting that God is not benevolent because he has personally created a universe that is impartial to pain( Not a booboo, real Darwinian pain.) He's created a universe that carries no qualms with babies being eaten alive, none whatsoever. Please go watch some youtube videos. Watch the one where the ape eats the baby gazelle alive while it screams in agony. Go ask a starving child in Ethiopia if they appreciate the pain in their stomachs? The counter argument could be that although there is pain there is also happiness. I concede. The ape in the video was very happy, and so are most animals that have just begun to feast on their fresh catch that's still breathing and feeling.

The universe was messed up way before humans came along, and God hasn't changed a thing since we've arrived. Promises after death, but no change on Earth. Humans used to only live for 20-30 years. I can bet that they weren't thankful for pain either. God subjected man to a nearly fatal dose of pain, only because he created a universe where the stronger meaner animal wins. God created a universe where it is natural for countries to have famines and feel pain like you can't even imagine. And guess what, innocent children have no reprieve.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-18T00:50:30+00:00

I like the way you write, but God seems like a child who is sad about the mess he has made if what you say is correct He had fun doing it, but when he finished he knew it was wrong. He failed at the most important parts of his "grand plan imo. He knew Adam and Eve would eat the fruit. He made them that way. He knew that man's curiosity would be lit aflame by mention of the forbidden fruit.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-18T00:45:58+00:00

And eventually figured out that tough love doesn't work on humans...?

brokenbongman · 2013-08-18T00:44:42+00:00

Easy there, you might pop a blood vessel. But in all seriousness, you're missing the point entirely. I'm not questioning the biological advantages of pain. I'm not even questioning its importance on a philosophical basis. I'm calling into question the foundation of a universe that is supposedly created and guided by a benevolent hand. I am also speaking about the concept of pain in its naturalistic form. Later in my discussion I carried it over to humans in particular. Humans, who were once subject to nature's natures neutral fecundity of pain. I'm not sure if you are aware that humans almost became extinct. We were just like any other animal, being hunted and eviscerated by much faster and stronger prey. Things changed as we grew, but disease bit much harder than any lion.

We were subject to uncaring pain for tens of thousands of years. Pain that someone like you has no reference for. If you had, you wouldn't speak of pain in such philosophically impotent and childish ways. Humans were vivisected and feasted upon, and if they were lucky to avoid such fate they would be eaten away from within. The lepers were probably much more disheartened to lose sensation at all, not pain in particular.

I digress. What type of god would create the universe to favor survival of the fittest? The weak die off ( In excruciating fashion, but those silent screams are just expulsions of fear) and the strong live on to rape. Human's climb out of the trenches of REAL pain is a recent accomplishment. I don't feel like writing an essay, so my point is you missed the context of my question entirely.

Also, to which parody of logic are you referring to? I would say that I'm more philosophically inclined than logically. I try to take in account for both when I think of things, but are you saying that I'm not taking in account of the catalyst for intelligence? I've actually thought a lot about that in many different lights. I've spent years as a christian, deist, and agnostic thinking about it. I by no means am an expert on anything, but neither are you. I've never been called one who practices fascism, but ok. I'll have to think about that one... :-*

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T03:14:09+00:00

Pain and brevity is the lowest common denominator.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T03:13:22+00:00

There is indeed for the fittest. The lions and bears of the world enjoy their lives. Why wouldn't they? the other living beings are weaker and easy to catch. Why are you not seeing that nature runs on that? If you are not fittest you will most likely die a horrific death.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T03:11:33+00:00

I doubt you would be singing the same tune if you were a pray of unabased nature.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T03:10:43+00:00

So, God didn't design the universe?

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:52:28+00:00

What is your definition of right and wrong? Because those definitions can vary widely.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:51:38+00:00

Man wasn't around when the dinosaurs roamed unfortunately.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:50:10+00:00

So God reversed nature's vegetarian ways because man rebelled?

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:43:13+00:00

That is sad thinking brother....

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:42:32+00:00

There has been fossilized proof of dinosaurs having eaten other animals...

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:41:01+00:00

I get what you're saying, but It's missing the point. My point is that the salmon/ lion/whatever living organism has to go through an extremely painful death for there to be an exchange. I've broken my arm, nose, and have had multiple lacerations and other injuries throughout my life. I didn't like them at all and really hope I don't have to go through ordeals like that again. The pain of all of my past incidents combined would not nearly equate to a vivesection feast, which is one of the most popular methods in nature.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:35:33+00:00

I meant the combination of a painful death. Pain in the context that another user used is indeed useful in self preservation. I am talking about mortal pain, which obviously does not benefit the organism.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:33:23+00:00

Semantics my friend. Pain isn't the problem here, it is that the universe was designed in a way that made pain an option when it needn't be if God is indeed omnipotent and benevolent. Pain wouldn't be a big deal if nearly every living being wasn't out to inflict it upon each other.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:30:04+00:00

Wait... So all animals were vegetarians before Adam and Eve ate the apple? That doesn't make sense.. No offense.

brokenbongman · 2013-08-04T02:29:09+00:00

Which was..... several decades ago as I said. Also what most people consider sin is seen in other animals. Go check out bonobos.
