JT - Public Profile


	Er...blimey. WTF can I write here that isn't so tedious it'd send people to sleep? After all, the most rock'n'roll thing I do is listen to Radio 4 - although sometimes, I don't turn the radio off until past 10...AT NIGHT. And sometimes, I have a cup of tea that late too, even though it means I have to get up at about 2am for a wee - I suppose that's quite hardcore, really. Oh yes, and I invented Who Invented Foxes (though it would have taken the form of some crappy blog had it not been for [user and admin] Mike, because my understanding of technology ends in around 1789). And, like, stuff.

Here's the best of what JT has contributed:

	Yes, well. There are two ways how the inequal number thingy is irrelevant. 1. Tolerating them is the middle solution, the golden mean. It's just the combination of the two previous ones, so it basically the same as saying "both". 2. Loving and hating is one option. Neither love nor hatred will lead to a peaceful coexistence. It creates too much tension, it cannot last forever. Option 2, tolerating them is the answer to that problem. 3. Numbers don't matter.

They also state that languages change over time and create different languages, while it is obvious from the Bible that languages were made different by God, as shown in the construction of Babel."

In my country, because of the animal bites, i heard that we have to take about 14 vaccines or injections on the belly to get rid of the infection or it will form a small implant or whatever overy in the stomach thus a small animal forms and eats you up in the inside, then you die!!.

	If we thought that way, we'd just continue spending to alleviate poverty in the short term rather than striving to find long-term, even permanent solutions.
	Posted by JT on 30 Jan 2010.
	So you think humanity is as of yet incapable of raising these people's standards of living to ethically acceptable levels (i.e. not millions of people dying due to lack of clean water, nutrition, health care, clothing, shelter etc.), because we haven't yet figured out how reality exactly works, in hopes of ever being able to actively control it? If you think we shouldn't be concerned with people lacking basic human needs in the present, as long as we concentrate on (a vague promise of) long-term solutions, do you think highly technological, future civilizations will even be concerned with the poor people that don't benefit from its scientific progress? I'd rather think they'd consider them to be uncivilized savages, and just about the least of their concerns.
	Posted by Socky on 30 Jan 2010.
	No, I didn't say that. I said that it would be a mistake to only provide short term relief at the expense of trying to find a cure. I didn't say we should concentrate only on the cure and not bother with the relief. We have a duty to do both IMO, whatever the financial cost.
	Posted by JT on 30 Jan 2010.
	That's exactly what I was trying to say. And I used that reasoning to state that it might have been better to postpone the LHC project in preference of the money being used to help solve the pressing issues that result from poverty.

We heard the tail end of the case heard before mine, which was that of a man who had been caught driving with a fake driving licence. He wasn't in court, but his barrister read out his defence: "He had not been aware that the licence was fake when he bought it."

Best explanation I've heard so far is: "They obviously filmed him doing all the possible combinations beforehand, then showed the right one."
