That's very bizarre.
You agree with the one who transfer one post from one place to another place and then you say that it is not your concern?
If you don't understand the reasons why something happen why on earth you agree with it?
That is a failing of yours not mine.
And what about getting upset if someone call you mate and then swearing direct to someone?
That is even more bizarre and not logic. Confused FallSmileConfused Fall

First you need to sort your own ravings out before you get to lecture others about bizarre.

Now I am requesting that you leave me alone. Capisce?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Raving!
Raving is when you lose control.
I am very much relaxed.
I am not swearing, i do not agree with something that i do not understand, i am not contradicting myself by getting upset for something and at the same time swearing direct to other people.
Why should i be raving? Confused Fall

It would be better for you if you were. It would give you an excuse for making absolutely no sense.

If i make no sense i must be an idiot, isn't it?
Well, why on earth you would follow an idiot then?

RE: The redneck strike again.
I don't know if this is the topic where people where discussing consciousness and NDAs, but I just started reading Dave McRaney's book You Are Now Less Dumb: How to Conquer Mob Mentality, How to Buy Happiness, and All the Other Ways to Outsmart Yourself (yeah, really long title!) and there is an interesting paragraph in the first chapter, which deals with how we use narrative to make sense of the world around us. I broke the large paragraph up to make it easier to read:
Quote:The air force and agencies such as NASA use centrifuges to create massive g-forces in a controlled environment. This way, they can teach pilots techniques for keeping blood in their brains. Such techniques involve lots of grunting and straining, which would otherwise seem a bit embarrassing if, you know, they weren't fighter pilots. At a certain point, pilots will black out and lose consciousness. As they go in and out of this state, they often report visions, hallucinations of the fantastic and the everyday, like dreams.

James Whinnery, a medical doctor for the air force, has studied hundreds of these blackouts over the last thirty years, videotaping them and comparing their nuances, interviewing the pilots and recording their reports. Over time, he has found striking similarities to the same sorts of things reported by patients who lost consciousness on operating tables, in car crashes, and after returning from other nonbreathing states. The tunnel, the white light, friends and family coming to greet you, memories zooming around-- the pilots experienced all of this.

In addition, the centrifuge was pretty good at creating out-of-body experiences. Pilots would float over themselves, or hover nearby, looking on as their heads lurched and waggled about. As Whinnery and other researchers have speculated, the near-death and out-of-body phenomena are both actually the subjective experience of a brain owner watching as his brain tries desperately to figure out what is happening and to orient itself amid its systems going haywire due to oxygen deprivation. Without the ability to map out its borders, the brain often places consciousness outside the head, in a field, swimming in a lake, fighting a dragon-- whatever it can connect together as the walls crumble.

What the deoxygenated pilots don't experience is a smeared mess of random images and thoughts. Even as the brain is dying, it refuses to stop generating a narrative, the scaffolding upon which it weaves cause and effect, memory and experience, feeling and cognition. Narrative is so important to survival that it is literally the last thing you give up before becoming a sack of meat. It is the framework of your conscious experience. Without it, there would be nothing but noise. Better still, after the pilots regain consciousness they go through the same sort of explanatory routines as patients in emergency rooms who have technically died and returned to life. The stories differ, depending on the belief system, but there is always a story.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
