Disturbing discussions...

All science is rubbish at one time. Sigh. I heard that somebody found problem with e=mc square as well.

Pseudo-scientific discussions tend to make me laugh. There was one recently about pyramids built by aliens under Antarctica. And, indeed, our governments do not want us to know. I quite never respond to these discussions.

I'm not trying to make you angry my dear friend but I've tried having a discussion with you on this and you don't seem to be very receptive. I'll translate that to proper English. I'm not trying have a go at you. Good, now I speak across the pond. I can't for the life of me understand what false information is when it comes to science. I suppose if it was documented observations completely falsified then that would certainly be classified as rubbish. But a question like the ape one i find an interesting one and could be responded to with some sound scientific reasoning? Assuming we have scientific fact under our belt though is a dangerous assumption. I'll give one example. Life requires oxygen. I was under that impression as were many other people/science community included until I read something. Apparently someone discovered a small cell that doesn't require it. Now that is a amazing. Don't you think so? Science is constantly changing it's ideas and we might want to actually consider everything as a possibility?

Aw..Malu...may be I came up with something then. I must have read something in the news somewhere and written about it. I am extremely interested in stem cell research which is for organ regeneration using the person's own stem cells and of course cancer cure. This comment I think was about US FDA having allowed some clinical trial to cure cancer in some way after it started showing some promising results in some European clinical trials.

Hmmm... a remedy for cancer that works but it disgusted you? (I think, as long as I didn't have to kill someone else, I'd be okay with that.) Granted, I find many things disgusting, but finding them disgusting doesn't mean I wouldn't do them/use them if I needed to, either.

@DaddyEvil I haven't used the word 'disgusted'. Where do you see it in my comment?Whether something is disgusting or not doesn't matter as long as it helps. But when someone tells the world to use, say, mistletoe to get rid of cancer, then this is a different pair of shoes.

That is quite true! I realize now that I should have kept quiet about it instead of writing my own discussion.

"nothing different'? Then it is possible I have not made much of an impact on you, friend Sanjeev, if you can believe there is nothing different about me! The only thing really different about me is that I am, uniquely, me. I don't try to conform to everything people around me believe I should be and would resent anyone trying to change me. (I am growing on myself more and more the older I get. Maybe, by the time I reach 22 years old, I will be what others want to be... ) How are you doing? I haven't seen you in quite some time. (I do hope you and yours are all healthy and getting richer every day! )

@DaddyEvil [/i]getting richer?[i] I am fine . I was busy with the job. I can feel that you are unique whenever I read your posts.

Hmmm... just so you know, pgn... I just copied that song onto my pc. (You may not realize, but I believe I have only copied two or maybe three songs since I started on myLot.)

@pgntwo Well... it was intended to show you something about me, but self-discovery is a rare and fortunate discovery any time it happens and from whatever source!

@DaddyEvil I wonder if that says more about you or about me...?

I don't know right now, Yogesh. Both my PC's are having their browsers operated on and I can't access those documents from my phone. If you can wait until I bring my PC's back online, I will have that information for you. (Probably tomorrow after work.)

@DaddyEvil I think De, your PC needs a computer engineer immediately

@DaddyEvil Hey De one more interesting thing, They found a new Continent near Australia now we have 8 instead of 7

@DaddyEvil .. That is a common ground. I want to know where we are at loggerheads.

@vandana7 Good luck finding that information, vanny!

That is easy, vanny... Anything that hurts another person without solid reasons for doing so repels me. Anything that treats another person as nothing repels me. Anything I see injustice in repels me. Not grinning or joking here.

@DaddyEvil I find that so scary.

@SIMPLYD Yes, scary and disturbing! I already know the doctors have never successfully done surgery like this before. Not even with animals. (They have attempted this surgery with animals but the animals always die. Usually during the surgery.) I don't believe humans are ready for something like this, in my opinion!

I see, SimplyD. Uhm... the discussion I am talking about was about doctors transplanting one person's head on another person's body. I am not sure how that would be proven, but the surgery to attempt it will take place this coming December.

Okay... (grinning at you!) I believe I am a compassionate, caring, loving and lovable person. I can and do make an occasional mistake. I will accept the blame for my mistakes, too... I will not accept the blame when someone else has made a mistake, though. (Yes, that happened over a year ago here on myLot. Someone accused me of doing something wrong. Instead of asking me to explain, the person threw a big rant about it. When I tried to explain they were not understanding what I actually said, they became defensive and became even more adamant that the mistake was mine! I finally blocked that myLotter when they wanted to rant at me again because I told someone else about it!) My avatar is/was made from a photo of me. (I think DE is quite handsome! I wish I still looked that good!) If you ever find yourself doubting my humanity, tell me. I may have made another mistake! (Being very serious!)

:) @DaddyEvil that is really cool about your avatar on a serious note though I do understand the need to be hush hush over names and references for fear of causing a problem. That is a real fear. Plus if we bring to mind more of what we find upsetting it doesn't help us feel any better. Having mentioned this once is enough. I'll just say like anything it is a shame that science or anything really can't be a good thing in our world. It is really how we use what we have right?

@Bluedoll Thank you! Pretty made my avatar by taking a real picture of me and stretching the photo over one of her SIMS characters and then screenshotting him when he sat down. (She built our family and let them play out several times. She said... and I quote, "The life we have now is better than any of them came up with. I am happy with that.") Yep! I try not to remember that, but things bring it to mind quite often. I will do my best not to repeat it to you again.

Yes, Sol-cee, that is the discussion I was talking about. It creeped me out! What further bothered me was the fact that one of the same surgeons who will be operating in December has also claimed he successfully transplanted the head of one monkey onto the body of another. But then he claims he euthanized the two monkeys for ethical reasons 20 hours after the surgery was completed. Why would he do that? It seems to me that they would need to keep the monkeys alive to see if the head and body could be stabilized and neither rejected by the original head/body. (I don't believe they should have done the surgery at all, but since they had, they should have learned as much as they could instead of destroying the monkeys almost immediately. Yes, I am kind of a ghoul that way, but that means they will only do this to two more monkeys since they didn't learn everything they could while they were still alive. SMH!) We just aren't ready, mentally or ethically, for this type of surgery, in my opinion...

Hello Ruby! I didn't believe anyone would be interested in knowing what I found disgusting in another discussion here. There is no need to hide either the discussion or the author. (I write discussions like this once in a while, but this one really took off!) @Daljinder wrote about a surgical procedure set to take place this December. Doctors are preparing to transplant one man's head onto another person's body. The articles I read about this made it seem like they were just throwing out some old, useless furniture and replacing it with new furniture. It was the fact that a human body meant little or nothing to them that bothers me the most about this. I didn't directly disagree with the author since she was simply talking about the surgery, not condoning or arguing against it. She just ask our opinions about it. Thank you. I appreciate your concern here, but wish I had explained why I was bothered by the discussion. I didn't mean to bother/worry anyone.

@RubyHawk

@DaddyEvil That's okay. Don't worry about it. I read something about that or saw it on the news. It sounded like something out of Halloween. I still wonder about the outcome of the surgery.

Yes, I have had difficulty understanding what some of the members here are trying to tell us in their discussions. If I don't know the author very well, I will not respond to a discussion I am not sure about. (I do know the author on the discussion I am talking about here, so had no fear I wasn't understanding the topic under discussion.) My objection stems from the fact that doctors are planning on transplanting one man's head on another man's body in December of this year. Humans aren't ready for this type of thing, in my opinion. Doctors have not done enough research on this type of surgery, for one thing. Plus the morals and ethics of the situation need to be addressed and codified before the first surgery of this type is done, too, in my opinion... SMH!

@Hannihar Yes, it is! (I think you are from India, but am not positive.) If you are, then have a good night!

@DaddyEvil That is very weird.

Hmmm... what about if the person presenting the discussion is your friend, Bhem? Would you still avoid sharing your own thoughts with them?

@JustBhem I do understand, Bhem. I trust my friends to tell me if I have accidentally offended them in some way. They know I would never hurt them on purpose. What has happened in the past is my friends will ask if I understood the discussion or will simply explain if it seems I have made a mistake. I do the same if/when I get a response that looks/sounds odd coming from them, depending on what I have seen from them before. Thank you for your candid response and reply. I really do respect how you feel.

@DaddyEvil I still rather not to get involved because I might say something that will offend them. These matters are sensitive so I'd rather not.

@responsiveme Thank you! Other than the usual allergies we are both doing well, also. I pulled up your profile page so I could hit a discussion or two you have written. Unfortunately, I will need to do that tonight. I need to get up and get ready for work now. Have a great day! I will talk to you this evening.

I still disagree with transplanting one person's head on another person's body, but yes, I am not physically ill from the thought of it anymore. How have you been lately, ARM?

@DaddyEvil well I never read that. I am doing well and I hope you and Pretty are fine too

Yeah, I should have done that this time, too. (The discussion was about transplanting one man's head on another man's body. I have a problem with that. SMH!) Thank you for sharing your opinion with me. I appreciate that.

@DaddyEvil ......Doesn't sound like she cares very much about others.

@celticeagle I'm sorry, Celticeagle, but I can tell you that DJ does care very much about other people. She was not condoning the surgical procedure. She simply wrote about it and ask for our opinions. The articles (some of them) made it seem as if the original body was just useless old junk to discard at a whim. That is why I objected to the discussion.

Thank you, Celticeagle! I might have passed on this discussion had it been written by anyone else. I didn't pass because it was written by @Daljinder. I did try to avoid the subject because the link she gave for the article was broken... She "fixed" me by suggesting I look up articles on the same subject. I did look up several, gave her a link to one very like the original (which I accessed thru The Wayback Machine) for her discussion. I "wasted" my time for a friend. I would do the same for others on myLot that I have grown to like.

@DaddyEvil .. Ah but there was a news to that effect...seriously..it was weird.

I see your point @DaddyEvil I'm not a fan of transplants and to transplant someones head to someone elses body just seems sooooo very wrong on so many levels. Creepy is an understatement.

@Daljinder posted a discussion a few days ago about transplanting one person's head onto another person's body. It felt, to me, like they are using a human body as simply a tool to enable the first person easier access to everything. That is a repellent thought for me.

@DaddyEvil That is sickening.

I read a discussion about transplanting one man's head onto another man's body, Anne. The articles I read discussed discarding the original body as if it were a piece of worn out furniture and the donor body was simply a new piece of furniture to replace the original. They were talking about human bodies as if they were nothing but meat...

I would still talk science topics with you, Kandase. (You have a good head on your shoulders and know how to look at and think about things objectively... That is a lot of what science is about.) Hmmm... I didn't have a "best subject" in school. All were about equal, in my opinion. What was your best subject, then? I am willing to talk about any subject you choose, provided I know anything about it. (really grinning at you!)

@Kandae11 I see... I am not much for art, but I could talk with you about literature... of whatever type, if you want?

@DaddyEvil English and English literature as well as art.

Transplanting one person's head on another person's body. (That seems a bit too far out in la-la land for me. Maybe in a few hundred years or so, but it shouldn't be tried now. Scientists have only gotten one mouse to live for a few minutes after transplanting it's head onto another mouse's body. There needs to be a LOT more research and testing before this is attempted with humans, in my opinion.)

@DaddyEvil Gosh. This one is a crazy one.
