    Selfishness is GOOD, but you must know how to use it

    Re: Ever since the Richard Dawkins episode of South Park, "Go God Go", I've never looked at him the same, despite his earlier works and achievements. EVERYTHING in life is selfish, because it comes from a "self." If someone says they are not selfish, they might as well say "they have no...

    How many calories a day should I eat?

    Re: CMD, You're wrong on calories burned by muscle and fat. Resting muscle adds little TO NO calorie burning factor to the overall equation, I don't care if you're 5lbs or 50lbs of muscle more. ACTIVE muscle burns more. HOWEVER, fat person, say 250, and a muscle-bound person at 200, who burns...

    Finance books

    Re: How do you get to the level of a Masters...without touching upon Finance in Undergrad? Finance is such a broad category, even basic books don't cover all that "could" be covered. I have the same book ref. by Dr.Metallica, albeit older. You could read basics in finance on stocks, buying...

    It's no secret: "The Secret" and the "Law of Attraction" are BULLSH*T

    Re: I'll let this sound "Smug", but I don't care. First...I'd say about half the people who will see the Secret and/or read the book will have done PRIOR work in the books and fields I've studied. The other half won't have done anything, and will gravitate toward The Secret, like people...

    Just how important is cardio...

    Re; You never realize the importance of cardio until... You move a friend over a period of 8 hours from 1 house to another. Or play flag football for 50 minutes straight, taking on minimal breaks, and sprinting all out with guys who can run in the mid 4's. Or walk a golf course for 18...

    It's no secret: "The Secret" and the "Law of Attraction" are BULLSH*T

    Re: 1. They were misquoted so badly Oprah had some the contributors on her show? 2. Misquoted so badly they created a book with more misquotes? 3. Most of my references weren't to the physicists, they were to Waitely, Proctor, Ray, Beckwith, Hicks, et al. 4. Educated fellows like scientists...

    300 - The Movie

    Re: What we have here is another gross misunderstanding... The movie "The 300" was adapted from Frank Miller's comic book, just like "Sin City" was adapted from Frank Miller's comic book as well. As beef with historical accuracy or inaccuracy should be taken up at the "source", not the...

    It's no secret: "The Secret" and the "Law of Attraction" are BULLSH*T

    Re: If anyone was going to counter your original article, DD, I would, but... 1) The article misunderstood the video, interpretted what it wanted, and has never faced straight up what it was about. If it's not directly facing what "The Secret" was about, then what argument need I make to...

    finding this site

    Re: Got bored of the drama, women, and regulars at Askmen.com. Probably found a link somewhere related to David D, or had searched. I can't remember. 1200posts + has fried brain here. Stayed because I liked the regular posters and the new posters.

    It's no secret: "The Secret" and the "Law of Attraction" are BULLSH*T

    Re: FDA, I'm surprised at you... AFC's have many beliefs, but they don't act on them? The very definition of psychology would have it's definition of BELIEF/BELIEVE turned upside down if it were applied to AFC's who come here. The conclusion here is...it's not a belief of their's if...

    It's no secret: "The Secret" and the "Law of Attraction" are BULLSH*T

    Re: Actually Einstein and Newton were founding father's like Ben Franklin of thought that contributed to works like the Secret. Read some of their quotations. Not all of them are that way, but they are also not 100% logical atheists. As far as Gates, he most certainly COULD have read Think...

    It's no secret: "The Secret" and the "Law of Attraction" are BULLSH*T

    Re: As the likely "offender" who posted the very FIRST "The Secret" Thread here, I am offering my commentary. I still believe as I do. I am a confirmed Catholic, but rarely attend Church for various personal reasons. I have read and am re-reading the bible and other documents by Christian...

    What do you DO with your girlfriend?

    Re; 1. Gut reaction, if you have to ask about 1 specific girl...she isn't the one to be making a GF. Just date, and reserve plans for the 'best' moments...like bars, sex, dinner, etc. 2. A gf is 2 things....A best friend you fvck. A best friend with benefits. Initially, she might not be...

    A Rant on Highways, Speeding, and Trucks.

    Re: /agreed. I "forgot" to pay a ticket. They doubled it, then tacked on a re-registration fee. Seems I didn't have a license for about 2 weeks. Fortunately, I didn't get pulled over, otherwise, who knows... The ticket was bogus, as I was doing...80, 85? It was black friday, going by...

    Musical no talent bums such as nickleback and other pop music

    Re Confessions. I have a pic with Nickelback when they were still ROCK...Creed was good when they came out. Much harder. I feel alot of bands start that way. They cater to the crowd they're facing, which is "bar" music. Alot of my friends were heavy in that scene, getting down as far as Boston...

    A Rant on Highways, Speeding, and Trucks.

    Speeding I've had only a handfull of tickets in my life, but the 1's I've gotten were at utterly stupid and pointless times, which highlighted how tickets are scam used to generate tax revenue that you can't fight or avoid without some effort or time off from work. Why is speeding on a...

    Perfection and Happiness.

    Re Great follow up, Mind Body Soul. A visual to your quote from your father would be seeing things like a plateau.... For quite a while, you're on a level, feeling like nothing is going to burst through. And then...all of a sudden, you can see it happening, and it accelerates, and then...

    Perfection and Happiness.

    Last night I was watching "Bruce Almighty" with Jim Carey...and some thoughts occurred to me, that mixed with our thoughts I had. In addition, it came upon me because several posts here, usually per week, ask about "finding happiness" or "perfection." Thing is...and here's where my example...
