Current opinions are:<ul><li>Yes<br />It's possible, but doesn't always happen. It's also possible to change, but not always.<p></li><li>!<br />The answer to this varies from person to person, we're all different and all accept different qualities in a person. For example A might accept Z but not necessarily M and Z might accept M but not A and M accepts both and then you've got F who doesn't accept any of the others apart from itself.<p></li> Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:13:18 -0500 http://allphilosophy.com/topic/5910 Make your vote!

Good Luck!<p></li><li>Definitely go for it<br />If fear is all that is keeping you from it, I assure you that going for it is the least scary part. It will be utter self-preservation.

Moving fast enough, time itself may in fact be slowing down. Or if you take a Delorean you can go back in time and meet your parents before they got together! But look at it from the observer. He goes back to 1955. Theoretically ...<p></li><li>For me<br />Forever is as long as you last. After that it doesn't matter.<p></li><li>Does "time" exist without movement?<br />Time began with the Big Bang, and one hypothesis is that the universe will lose entropy and grind to a heat death (this means that nothing moves). I would argue that this is the end of time, because there can no longer be any movement in that dimension. So if by "forever" you mean "time always...<p></li><li>Yes<br />Forever consists of time. Not how long someone lasts, or how long love lasts. Forever is a time substitute, even when the world ends, time continues to go on.. forever. Or a DAMN long time at least.<p></li> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:35:43 -0600 http://allphilosophy.com/topic/5894 Make your vote!

Why should my tax money get tied up in the legal system?<p></li><li>if you think about it...<br />The death penalty would seem a lighter punishment because after it's over you ain't got to spend the majority of the rest of your life in a prison cell, which in my opinion is a far greater punishment.

Do not states of minds exist? It exists AS a state of mind. Some poorer people may be happier than some richer people. One man's trash and all that. Only you can answer "What makes you happy", but for most people love...<p></li><li>Well yes...<br />If you perceive happiness then I guess it does exist. Also, the fact that the emotion that we call happiness affects the body ie heart rate, smiling and the serotonin hit you get from experiencing this emotion, would lead me to say yes it does. <p></li> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:13:19 -0600 http://allphilosophy.com/topic/5888 Make your vote!
