Who cares, can you?

Quote:Even from a common sense standpoint, Big Bang has previous causes, which itself has previous causes, which itself has previous causes, which has previous causes, which has previous causes, which has previous causes etc.

Do non-existent things require causes? WTF is a cause anyway..sounds like another non-existent thing.....

(Our distaste for infinite regress might have more to do with our inability to draw a conclusion from it than it does with whether or not an infinite regress is "possible" - it doesn't explain anything, so it isn't "valid" - what any of that has to do with "common sense" is anyones guess....and why would anyone want to align themselves with "common sense" in the first place? Have you seen the shit that common sense has produced? Common sense is commonly incorrect)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
