do it

Hey, if he entertains me and I feel that my life is a little more fun as a result, no harm.

I mean, I really don't understand the value of television and I think it's weird that people blow their money on cable packages, but I have my silly things that I like to spend money on, so I can't really criticize them too much.

Psychics are definitely entertaining. It's a pretty fun experience.

LOL And thanks bmel

And Joie, it's definitely worth doing once. It can be a very entertaining experience.

tww is the best entertainment evar!

lol

5/5/2010 4:21:39 PM

i understand where lucy is coming from - its entertainment. there are people who spend hours upon hours playing video games and watching tv and doing other things - collecting things, etc.

this is what SHE chooses to do for her entertainment. its not my thing at all. discovery health channel is my thing and i basically have digital cable just for it hahaha

but everyone has things they spend money on that other people think are stupid.

5/5/2010 4:22:47 PM

I'm not the only anti-tv person on tww. I'm pretty sure H8R doesn't have a tv either.

^ LOL. Discovery Health has got to be like crack for a hypochondriac.

Sure.

Give me any odds of what you think aliens existing is.

Let's do something large.

Let's do something like....

"There's a 1 out of 1x10^10 chance."

That means there's a one in ten billion chance of aliens existing.

Is that not rare enough for you? Okay. Let's do 1 out of 1x10^15. That's a one in one quadrillion chance.

Based on observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, there are at least 125 billion galaxies in the universe.

It is estimated that at least ten percent of all sun-like stars have a system of planets, there are 6.25×10^18 stars with planets orbiting them in the universe.

If even a billionth of these stars have planets supporting life, there are some 6.25×10^9 (billion) life-supporting planetary systems in the universe.

6,250,000,000.

Now, what are the odds that NONE of these have any life on them?

For more information, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation

(By the way, that Stephen Hawking special I suggested that you watch covers this in great detail. Hawking is fairly confident that there's plenty of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe )

uh thats statistics not cold hard facts, I know the answer is yes, but you haven't found it yet.

and no area 51 is not it.

5/5/2010 4:25:58 PM

i lived w/o tv for awhile but now that i have it i really like it (but i only watch an hour or so a day - usually less but not this week with psych week hahaha). but i only like 4 channels. msnbc, espn, discovery health and i guess i'd need like an abc. i also really need natgeo so 5 channels

but instead i have 5 billion that i never even use. its totally a waste of money and i think about getting rid of it again all the time. but i have learned things from tv (that sounds dumb but it isn't). i really like the channels i watch and don't think its turning my brain to mush. i just hate the expense and the unnecessary channels.

5/5/2010 4:26:19 PM

Aliens do exist, they're just not flying around in UFO shoving stuff up asses.

The point is that it's almost statistically impossible for aliens not to exist given that there are literally multiple billions of solar systems with life-supporting planets on them.

To deny that is to just plug your ears, cover your eyes, and say "NAH NAH NAH I'M NOT LISTENING..."

5/5/2010 4:28:06 PM

i agree with you god, but it's not proof.

it's compelling odds.

5/5/2010 4:28:54 PM

o my god this thread has turned into soap box

5/5/2010 4:29:19 PM

^^

Yes, you are correct. Technically, there's a small chance that 6,250,000,000 planets all have no life on them, and I can't hand you an alien body because there's no possible way for me to travel and catalog all of these 6,250,000,000 planets in the known universe in our lifetime.



And I would argue that it's more than compelling.

If I roll a 20 sided die 6,250,000,000 times, are you going to suggest that I should bank on the possibility I will never roll a 15?

5/5/2010 4:35:25 PM

wtf does rollin a die have to do with an alien organism?

5/5/2010 4:35:28 PM

5/5/2010 4:36:55 PM

It's about probability.

What are the odds that, if I roll a 20 sided die, I will get:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 all in a row?

Pretty rare, right? I bet you'd wager your last dollar on me not getting all of those in a sequence.

But what if I was allowed to roll the die a million times? How likely would it be that I would eventually get it?

What about a billion times? It seems more probable now, doesn't it. Would you still bet against me?

5/5/2010 4:37:08 PM

yes. in this thread i would, since probability is hardly any proof

5/5/2010 4:38:11 PM

^That's statistics dumbass

for harder proof that is debated look for Gillevinia straata.

have a nice day.

5/5/2010 4:39:34 PM

i agree with you god.

and i think the evidence is pretty dogmatic.
however its not proof.

"but it's possible."

Well, yes. But if you think of it that way, anything is possible, isn't it? If we always thought like that, how could we teach anything?

In your pharmaceutical classes, you know that combining chemical A and chemical B yields mixture C, right?

But isn't there a slight possibility that instead of getting mixture C you actually get mixture Z? or something else... like Hershey's Syrup?

I mean, it's possible, isn't it?

I'm sure you can see how thinking this way about things can get confusing, even harmful, if we make the wrong conclusions about the likelihood of certain events occurring.

um no. i can prove to you it doesnt (assuming i have the chemicals on hand)

So it always happens? 100% of the time? There's never a chance that something else could happen when you combine them? Never? Not EVER?

i was waiting on someone to say that ahahahah

disprove it!!
and here is a nice little logic for it.

all women have better tits than men
god is a man
G.O.D is a woman

therefore G.O.D has better tits than god.

or you can ask anyone at the party last saturday.
