No energy can be created or destroyed, only changed in form. In our existence, nothing cannot exist.

The anthropic principle tells us that the idea of "nothing" is a bit meaningless in a universe of stuff and life and the power of observation. In this universe, nothing can't exist. Because if there was nothing, there wouldn't be a universe!

What a stupid comment. Erdogan has decided to open the borders to Greece because the EU isn't fulfilling its commitments to financially support Turkey in housing and feeding all the refugees.

Turkey is a state under the authority of the European Charter of Local Self Government, meaning it is a state in a transition towards a Western democracy. 60% of the population are Muslim, and of those, not even half practice it.

There hasn't been one recorded terrorist attack by a Turkish national in a Western country, so far as I know. Turkish people are Ottomans at heart: they aren't Arabs (with whom your backwards as fuck government seem to do copious business with despite nearly all the 9/11 attackers being from that country, and despite Saudi having probably the worst human rights record in any Islamic state not currently in war).

But sure you're too fucking stupid to actually think about any of this before you open your mouth.

Now I'm afraid I would have to say that is a false conclusion. Einstein proposed as part of his theory of relativity that space and time (i.e. the universe) are things in and of themselves. Indeed, without this concept Einstein would not have been able to explain gravity, which is a phenomena in which space and time (i.e. "nothing", as you might say) exist in a different condition in some parts of the universe than they do in others. Given this information, it might either be the case that the universe itself came from nothing (i.e. what the OP is alluding to) or that nothing itself might be an imaginary concept

This doesn't make sense. Space and time are things. They aren't nothing.

Warlords and slavers sold slaves to more powerful warlords and slave seekers. Hardly an excuse to blame black people as a race for their own enslavement. It wasn't the slaves that sold themselves you fucking retard. But of course, you are incapable of separating them because they have the same skin colour. That makes you a fucking racist cunt.

You're a bigot with a semantic guard up to make it look like you're just a religious wingnut.

Refusing people service cause they're gay is the definition of bigoted behaviour.

1 point

It's not a semantic issue. Nothing is the absence of any thing. The universe is full of things. If none of those things existed, there would be no existence. But the universe does exist. And things do exist. Thus, nothing is a physical impossibility. If there is nothing, then there is no universe, no physical things, no existence.

I don't believe that the human psyche is naturally vicious. In fact, many studies show that human infants are naturally altruistic, investigative, and creative. Viciousness seems to be learned.

This person was born in the UK ... or can you not read?

Why are you so stupid?

Nothing - no amount; nought; not anything.

Existence - all that exists; a state of objective reality/realness

The two are incompatible. Nothing is the absence of existence. Thus, "nothing" cannot exist.

America invaded the middle east and killed hundreds of thousands to millions of the citizens there. Why do you think terrorists happen to cite the conflict in the middle east as their motivation for violence?? lol.

America has EVERYTHING to do with it.

I agree completely.

See there is a culture and belief among the older generation that the media is unbiased and gives information that is factual and in their interest. For a long time, that might have been largely accurate as regards to some of the independent newspapers (though the BBC was also quite unbiased in many ways, empirical expansion was glossed over and hidden by them).

But really, the older generations are out of touch with the way the world is. Nostalgia for the past, the belief that Britain is still powerful and empirical, that the world will follow its demands. It is pipe-dreams.

The truth of it is, Brexit will be the final nail in the coffin of the "Empire", and those who voted for it will (hopefully) spend their last years ruing the choice.

1 point

This warms my heart. I genuinely wish that this could be so. But I believe it will not be possible until we agree on the simple virtues of peace, fairness, and the right of all humans to live securely and safely, none at the expense of others.

Where power lies, is where the desire to perpetuate imbalance usually lies.

It wasn't really a majority. About a third of people eligible to vote, voted to leave. A good number of those, when polled about why they voted so, stated that they had seen advertisements that stated that there would be an extra £350 million per week available to the NHS if the UK left. This, of course, turned out not to be true. And as a result, many who voted to leave, when asked more recently, would now vote to remain.

Also taking into account the number of retirees who voted, many of whom have since died, and the younger people who have now come of age to vote (who would overwhelmingly vote remain), then it cuts that number even further. The people most likely to vote to leave were the older generation, while younger people (to whom the future belongs) overwhelmingly voted to remain.

There is also the issue of what that vote actually meant. Many of those who voted to leave, did not actually know what that would entail. We now know that it entails a great many things that the vast majority of this country are against: the potential repeal of the European Human Rights Act; an attack on worker's rights; no more visa-free travel to mainland European countries; a potential manned border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland; the removal of tuition fee caps etc etc etc.

I can tell you in no uncertain terms that the UK leaving the EU is going to create a negative environment for almost everyone, except the very wealthy people who promoted it by lying (many of whom have since moved their businesses to tax havens outside of Britain where they won't pay UK taxes; one of the disadvantages of Brexit is likely to be further tax loopholes for such people. Yet, they are the same ones who, throughout the campaign to leave, blamed immigrants and those on welfare for messing up the country's economy, when in fact, most lost revenue comes from tax avoidance).

First photo is fake. The quotes are mostly Guido Fawkes talking absolute shite with no basis in fact. The statistic about Jews is absolute bollox parroted by the right wing friends of the UK Chief Rabbi (who is known to be a right wing friend of right wing politicians in the UK, who happened to be running for election right around the same time).

But actually the United European Jews executive board sent an open letter to Jeremy Corbyn giving him their full support.

You are parroting bullshit.

Lol "court". Go out, take some fresh air, have a drink, and get a life, man.

Actually it does have physical presence: neurons fire between synapses through the use of electrically charged neurotransmission compounds, and the signals are sent as electrical energy to other parts of the solid matter of the brain.

Sophistry.

God "would" is a hypothetical premise. You'd have to prove he exists before you assert "he is the only thing that actually exists".

The problem is that you have asked a stupid question built upon a conclusion you've already formed without any evidence for it, then tried to shift the burden of proof to someone who is asserting that things simply exist because that's the way it is.

By definition, "nothing" cannot "exist". Existence requires there to be things that ARE.

What is this actual garbage?

By its very definition, "nothing" cannot exist.

Without American imperial foreign policy, this shit wouldn't be happening. The demands of Muslim extremists are pretty clear: take troops out of the Middle East and stop killing civilians.

However, on the other side, this man is just as bad as you American war-dogs: he has tried to kill civilians.

Perhaps if America would fuck off out of other countries, we might actually be able to live side by side with people from wherever.

Bulshit. Sorry. I agree with lots of what you say. But the first premise of this is bullshit.

You can't claim territory after 2000 or more years. All you can do is negotiate processes to engender cooperation and mutual understanding. The partition of Palestine was meant to give Isrealis a home. It wasn't meant to allow them to expand and oppress.

As far as I am concerned, the Palestinians are freedom fighters at this point. And death to the Israel that stops them from asserting their rights under international law.

Until Israel agree to the terms of the partition, there will be no peace.

1 point

Force all parties to abide by the terms set out in the British partition of Palestine.
