@Hermoor That's true during the winter, but here the reason is bad lightning :P

Moses lives to 126; Abraham lives to his 180's..... I'm not a part of any organized religious structure though I do base my morality on God and believe in a Creator of everything and everyone who is totaly beyond our comprehension. I would say that in that sense, the jewish conception of God appeals to me most, though I am not Jewish. Of course it's 3 a.m. and I'm typing to no one, probably because I'm a little bit drunk lol. We just finished a bottle of wine and she's laughing so bye bye seeya

Amoralism means (for me) the belief that there's no ultimate or objective morality, and each person can define his own morality (i.e. to do as he chooses).

if its going to happen lets live to be able to guide it in the best direction, people are so cynical...we may as well take up the challenge!

[anukefromrussia]

@outled what about robots and nanotech and Marshall Brain's vision?

[PedroNGCProductions]

@anukefromrussia I know the other two, but what is Marshall Brain's vision?

@uhuyo We not always gonna live in this world. Probably 100-200 years from now we got cities in the moon and mars. The human mind cant remember every single thing we do in our life. I can hardly remember what happened in a movie that i watched a few years ago.. unless it was pretty good one! The getting bored argument in retarded, unless you are a boring person bored of life right now you aren't gonna be bored 10 or 100 years from now.

[uhuyo]

what I'm saying is that, people say 'If we stop aging, then the world would always have the same old people, with old thoughts'. That's not true, people learn and EVOLVE, that's what it's all about.. EVOLUTION!

[uhuyo]

@3tangle3 finally, someone that says something that MAKES SENSE ! If it comes, let it be... And try to make the best out of it, because stopping aging is just the beggining.. you've got diseases, poverty, accidents, catastrohpies (also part of 'accidents'). It's not that easy , but we are evolving..

And as for those that say that we need to die, to make room for new ones..It's a lie! We don't give birth to novelty-thinking children, we TEACH them what they know. That means we learn..

"I wont let anybody decide for me what's good or wrong"

No matter, society, religion or what ever. You make your own decisions, basing on your own views, fealings.

And what atheism has anything to do with amoralism?Damn nothing.

Lack of belief in retarded bullshit, does not mean immortality.

As to sociopaths, most of them are idiots that do "wrong" becouse acording to their morality(often delivered from god/deity him/itself) tells him it's good.
