Do you know to read?

I repeteadly told that the "Jumping from the 10th floor" is not an example of which stupid things you can do when on a trip, but a silly example meaning that there are actions that can make you see the live from different angles, without being GOOD. The guy who jumped was NOT DRUGGED, ok?

I' ll post it again, you just had to read carefully before repeating something has told before:

Sorry if I called for a missunderstanding, but when I typed "jumping from an skycrapper" I was not refering as a jump provoqued by a bad trip after eating mushrooms... My example just meant that there are ZILLION of ways to get new experiences without using drugs. It also means that not all this ways to get nex experiences are good.

Second part: "World is full of crap, a bit more crap ain't going to make much more harm"

Is that your deffense to Mushrooms? Sorry, it' s a bit... childish. Elaborate one better and I might consider discussing with you.

You just got to see the Party they have chosen as their governours, Petter... 

Still far from being finished, I can still use some colours to make the hair, the boots, the hair and maybe a jackett.. I am not totally happy, maybe because I wanted to keep night's original sprite, but I would have made it different if made from scratch... I think it has too much contraposto, maybe it can be solved with a little of scripting, adding a frame or two before he walks. I think it finally ended as a little aberration, anatomically talking ^_^ too long torso, too short legs, (As usual, Helm... seems I can't learn) and chicken chest. I will try to write a short brief if this little "tutorial" is not self explanatory ASAP, but I am in a hurry.

(Lesson one, never paint an important character if you are in a hurry...)

Unfortunatelly, the world is full of black sheeps.

A (translated) messenger chat I had with Lorena' s smaller (and sillier) cousin, he is 12.

Nacho: What's that image for displayn in msn you have? Concentration against the latin bands?
LC: Yes, Nazi bands are coming to fight with the blacks.
N:But are you with the blacks or against?
L:Against... what would you do if they punch your friend?
N:Ahm... one thing... What if the guy who punched your friend was blonde? Would you go punching blonde people?
L:No... blacks.
N:But what if he was blonde?
L:We won' t go fighting blondes then.
N:Why? Why do you fight with blondes, but with blacks you do?
L:Because they are black.
N: So... it' s not for the agression, no? You are basically a racist.
L:Half of both reasons.
N:Ok.. Idiot.

Cute, eh? 

As said, Dowland, male and female brains have some differences, but our knowleadge of the human psyque is too little to tell what those differences mean.

Your example about classical composers is not 100% correct, IMO, because women didn't compose more for social reasons that for psicological ones. It might be a real mental reason, since nowadays they have the same opportunities as men and seems that the number of composers is still bigger than women, but who knows? The social reason is an explanation that unfortunatelly we can't despise.

But I am sure that you' ve heard the sentence: "There won' t be wars if world was ruled by women" I am quite convinced that world would probably go better. That implies that our way of thinking and acting is different (Equal in a high percentage, but still there are little differences), but in this case, (human relationships) women win the race by three bodies. You should be happy for that. You shouldn' t jump into someone' s jugular if he/she tells you that something is "different". Beethoven, Picasso, Kennedy were waaaaaay different than the rest of the mortals. You should jump into someone' s jugular if he/she tells you that something is "worse". And I' ll be there to jump with you! 

Edit: I am going to try to explain how this goes with a little example. Enviroment, or the tasks we do determines how we are. An skimal is way different than a pigmeus, but both are perfect for the enviroment they life. Different human races haven' t been doing different "mental" taskes for so long time that their minds had to evolve in different directions, and they won' t, since globalization has equalized this. Maybe if we isolate a human race in the jungle for some million years they will develope a different psyque than the rest, but not now. There has been no time, a genetical change in the neural system takes too long, it' s the most complicate system to change in genetics.

Maybe million of different taks between male and female has made their psyche different... But evolution wouldn' t allow to make a "worse" gender than the other. Maybe we are a bit better into space location (for hunting and stuff...) and you are better in other things, like human relations... But this differences are tiny, in my opinion, since it was very likely that women had to make the male tasks and viceversa.

Welcome back, and my condolences as well.

Be careful: the arguments you are using are potentially dangerous. How often do we get a non-black 100 m runner? And is that a basis to treat black men with a different set of rules than white men?

I don' t know if you don' t know to read, or you are missreading on purpose to go on with the discussion.

I wrote: Man and women are fisically different. I am not sure if that differences are also in psicology. One gender is not better than the other, and the same rules must be applied to both.

Clear?

Now... Black and white man are fisically different.

(Ok, ok... I know that we are "the same human race" and, there' s no way to talk about one and unique "white" race, because we have the caucasians, skandinavians, etc... Same with black, who have hutus, tutsis, Ibos, Pigmeos, Abissinians, and blah, blah...)

But the "race" we common know as black has more density in they bones... They are better preppaired for boxing, 100 m. running and everything involving power, even in stamina sports with lots of impacts, which require a strong bone and muscles like marathon... They will never be the best in sports involving a light bone, like swimming or cyclism. Their enviroment made them this way, same as made their hair curlier. The enviroment decides how our external aspect is. The differences provoqued by the enviroment can also be seen in the shape of the eyes or colour of the melanine... are you going to tell me that the colour of the melanine of Ted Danson is the same than Michael Jordan' s? Are you going to say such thing in honour to political correction?

An artic rabbit is different from an african one, no?

African: Bigger, less flury, brown, bigger ears.
Artical: Smaller, flury hair, whit, small ears to avoid lose of internal heat.

Is one rabbit fisically superior to another? No... each one is (fisically) preppaired for the place it lives.

Same with humans.

Where is the danger in this FACTS?

Now... Telling that searching grass in an arctic plain or in a desert will also change your brain is a dangerous and complete stupidity. Same with human. Saying that going to work to an office is more complicated that looking for food in the Kalahary, and that those differences are going to provoque a change in your brain transmitted via DNA is a complete stupidity. I never wrote, or thought that.

Hope it' s clear now ^_^.

In my mind, I didn' t see that picture you saw when your read that... If you think that those sentences meant, I am with you. 

But maybe you should ask Raggit before...

Of course men and women are different, and one man is different from another man, a woman is different from another woman.  We're all individuals.  That doesn't mean that we shouldn't be considered equal to one another.  So a strong, healthy, well exercised man might be stronger than a strong, healthy, well exercised woman.  So...so what?  We're all human beings.

That, that we are all human beings, was something that COULD have been implied into Raggit' s post. What he said was not contradictory with what. That' s why I deffended him.

What was not implied in Raggit' s post was that women is worse or has to have less rights, so, I don' t really know the reason why he deserved those replies he got... 

Raggit has told that genders are different... Not that one is better than the another, or should have more rights.

Let's be serious.

Fisically, Raggit is totally right. The world's fastest girl won' t even win the world fastest man in 100 m, although the fastest girl in Earth will probably crush 99.9% of the guys in a race. Additionaly, she should receive as much as credit and respect as the male champion.

But still, she will allways be slower.

(Change the example with rythmical gym, if you want, where the woman will allways win by her flexibility and coordination. The example still works...) Our bodies are different, no one is better, males win in some things, women in others.

As for psicology (sp?), I think that brain/mind is still too unexplored to tell if those fisical differences are present also in the psicology... I think they are in some aspects, but, as happens with the body, nothing in the female brain makes me think they are inferior or worse by any mean.

...likely harmless vicious...

As said before...

A) Eat "shrooms"

And be happy while the trip is good... enjoy ^_^/

What are you comparing?

Being alcoholic with using drungs twice per year? Unfair comparision.

Drinking every week with using drugs twice per year? Unfair comparision...

Are you comparing eating mushrooms twice per year with drinking twice per year? Yes? I think not... Then, your "far nastier than shrooms" is false.

Habit is a repetitive good act, like sport, or washing your teeth after each meal.

Using drungs could be harmless, but definitively not good, so, it' s better to say that it' s a vicious, like drinking or smoking. (Things you criticised in this post for admiting, shortly after, that eating mushrooms is not better, though)

So, enjoy your trips, and feel good with your "new angles". When you have a bad trip let' s see if this new angles result so funny ^_^.

Eric... How can you have this attitude in this thread towards space travelling? Ain' t you the living evidence that time travels are possible?

I did not read about drugs.

I used them.

... for a couple of years.
Weed, hachis, cocaine, LSD mushroom and speed. Under control and with a relative "scientific" and experimental point of view...

Never really knew why people seems to see something so extraordinary in them.

Comparing the benefits of sport and its risks with using drugs... amazing! ^_^

In futurama time-space is not warped, they only move all the universe while the spaceships are stationary, foool!!!

And Mark... are you aware that time, according to the latest investigarions is like a pice of rubber, which can be pulled and pushed, but nothing else? We can' t travel in time, since time is attached to space. 

Unless they have "hyperspace technology" (Our knowleadge about physics tell us they don' t), or a very good cryogenization tech (and desires to be cryogenizated for zillion of years for trevelling in the space, our knowleadge about psycology tell us they don' t), or live for zillion years (Our knowleadge in biology tell us they don't), Aliens shouldn' t worry you.

Yes ... and I breathe, because it' s funnier than dying. Are you really comparing doing normal things in live with using drugs?
