nice answers..here's one more...
while i've heard of people who attemt suicide by hanging themselves on ceiling fans....why don't these fans ever come down off the ceiling?

Mark F.

11-12-2005, 08:59 AM

And more importantly why don't those people just try and decapitate themselves with the fan's blades instead of trying to hang themselves, it would be much more colorful don't you think?

1)WHAT CAME FIRST..THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG???
Neither. First came the ancestor animal which evolved (mutated through natural selection) to become a chicken.

2)CAN THERE BE MALE FEMINISTS???
Yes. There can also be female chauvinists.

anyone having an answer please reply...and put in ur question if u have one...

Mythbusters: it would be impossible to decapitate oneself with the fan.

Question 1:
Technically the egg would come first following evolutionary thinking: the modern chicken would be a mutation from its parents, therefore the egg of the modern chicken came first.

Question 2:

uhm, why not... I have no problem with female equality, there are a few females that I know who can kick my @$$ at just about anything.

I have heard this one before. The correct answer is of course it makes a noise, there is just nobody there to hear it. The noise is created by the vibrations caused by the tree falling to the ground.
It is similar to asking whether or not a dog whistle makes noise....the fact that the frequency at which the sound is emmitted is outside the range of human hearing does not matter, there must still be a noise or the dog would not respond.

With regards to Koa's question about where we go from here: I presume she is meaning after she graduates....and the answer is you enter the hamster wheel and get to spend the next 40 years running around in circles until you get to old to turn the wheel...then you die....a happy thought eh. :D

i have to disagree with you kilt-ex. this is very disimilar to the dog whistle.

with the dog whistle, we have machines and dogs to test whether a sound is made. while, with the tree falling, there is no machines, no dogs, nothing to test it.

in the end, the answer to that question will always be in favour of the person who says, "no it does not make a sound" because they can always after that say, "Prove me wrong" and they will be eternally correct.

as for this sub, last time i checked, Sex and Gender in this context is exactly the same thing. am i wrong??

subterranean

11-15-2005, 01:44 AM

subby-subster????

Wow I'm almost not aware that you were reffering to me there...

Let see.., last time I read sex refers more to physical criterias, i.e. boy got mr . happy and girl has ms cheerful..or something like that. And these criterias are somewhat naturally obtained. On the other hand, gender refers to the quality or role which is attributted to certain sex and somewhat has social/cultural essences in it, means that it is socially/culturally constructed. For instance: dad's working in the office while mom's doin laundry at home.

Please correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't get in touch with these terms for quite a long time.

smilingtearz

11-15-2005, 04:45 AM

"subby" might actually be right here...though both words sex and gender mean just about the same...sex is actually a biological profile of a person..whereas gender is more in the social context...like masculine or feminie...hope u get wht im tryin to say here...

"in the end, the answer to that question will always be in favour of the person who says, "no it does not make a sound" because they can always after that say, "Prove me wrong" and they will be eternally correct."

even if i say it does make a noise and u disagree...i can still say "prove me wrong"...
I mean the tree obviously makes noise!!..coz if ur somewhere near the tree don't u think u'll hear the noise??

Sorry, but no. I can put a tape recorder in the forest and record the noise despite no-one being physically there to hear it the noise will be recorded.

jakobin

11-15-2005, 07:22 PM

maybe i should rephrase my answerless question (emphasis on the 'answerless'):

If a tree should fall in a forrest, with nothing, living or dead, to hear or record any noise that may or may not be made, would it make a noise??

kilt-ex, the point of these answerless questions is that there are no answers, and that they cannot be answered, and they exist only to amuse our minds, and make us feel very intellectual for a minute or two before we actually realise that we can never prove our own answer to question, nor disprove someone elses.

i could easily argue this tree question both ways, and think that i was right both ways, and make myself believe what i end up talking about for 10 minutes, but in the end, no one wins, on ANY of these questions.

what came first, the chicken or the egg?? we can never know, unless maybe God himself comes down, registers on lit-net, and after he convinces everyone that he is actually God, explain to us why X comes before Y.

until that day happens, and God is posting in the Intro thread, i shall continue to argue both ways of the debate on any of these questions, and kilt-ex, i would gladly have you as opposing council.

A falling tree makes sound waves. A noise heard by a person is the impact of those sound waves on his ear drum. End of discussion.

so if the noise heard is the impact of the waves on the ear drum, if there is no ear drum, there is no noise.

well, ye see. if there are no eardrums, on any such thing that could be possibly hear the noise, then logically, there would be nothing that the tree could impact with since everything on the planet can register vibration. therefore there would be no sound emited by the tree, because for the tree to emit a falling sound it must fall upon the mentioned something. So tree falling with nothing to hear it fall = no sound created.

Pay attention while I reiterate:

A falling tree makes sound waves regardless of whether anyone is there to hear them.

If a human (or other animal with ears) happens to be around, the sound waves are experienced/processed as noise.

Epistemology 101 class dismissed.

but if NOTHING is there to here/feel the sound waves, the tree would not have anything to fall on, therefore making no sound: picture a spinning tree in an absolute vacume...no sound generated.

Trees can't exist in a vacuum. When they fall in the real world, they generate SOUND WAVES. Which only becomes "noise" if there are ears around to hear them.

i still think that, even if it makes vibrations, if there is nothing to register it like an animal or human eardrum, there is no noise.

well, noise is a perception, so if no one is there to percieve it, therefore it can't have existed, since to exist is to be defined.

water is only wet when it touches the air, because the sensation of being wet is only understood when brought into a region where wet is alien, otherwise there would be no point of reference to distinguish between wet and non wet.

Ok ill break this sound wave thing down. The tree falls, it makes sound waves, in order for these waves to become sound they must be processed (interpretted) by a medium (the ear, sense of feeling vibrations). Its like words, what are words? Merely markings, symbols, smudges on paper unless they are processed by something. If you had never seen a letter or a word in your life it would just be a mark on something, unitelligble nonsense. Its kind of a symbiotic relationship. Art, books, movies...they arent complete until someone has actually read or seen them. Sound isnt sound until it is heard/felt.

No it doesn't. In my Anatomy and Physiology class I learned that noise is only heard if a creature with the capability of hearing it is there. A tree falling down is only making sound by pushing the molecules in the air. :D

Virgil

12-08-2005, 09:49 PM

But noise is vibration of molecules. If a tree falls, the air molecules still vibrated, and therefore there was sound with no one to hear it. I think it makes noise.

Does color really exist?

To dogs it doesn't, to us it does. Would each color be different if our eyes were different? if we had an extra type of receptor? so does color really exist?(of course it exists through frequency, but I'm saying by what you see)

Yes
*edit*
Yes, colours do exist regardless of the receptors. Colour = light of a certain wave lenght.
No receptors needed for that. The sun would still rise regardless if it's Monday or Tuesday (unless you're not thinking about the far future)

I think it was whether if a grumpy old man in Hawai nagged and nagged and nagged and no one was around to give a darn about it, would he still make any sound.

Or was it if a tree falls in the middle of a forest???

:p

juz to try this out...let's write down one question we've had forever but never found a proper answer to...

lemme start...here's the first
1)WHAT CAME FIRST..THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG???
2)CAN THERE BE MALE FEMINISTS???

anyone having an answer please reply...and put in ur question if u have one...
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face and the egg is frowning and looking a bit pissed off. The egg mutters, to no-one in particular, "Well, I guess we answered THAT question!"

Well, to answer the questions first posed six pages ago:

1. There were animals that layed eggs long before there were chickens (dinosaurs, for example).
2. Speaking. John Stuart Mill and Kurt Cobain were some others.

2. my brother is a male feminist and the idea behind it is that all of us are human beings and my adopting a "masculine" gender role, men deprive themselves of the chance to develop their full potential.
NO, this does not mean "get in touch with your feminine side, guys, let's all hug and sing a song"... it also means that women do the same by adopting feminine" gender roles.
basically, it means that the issue isn't "women's rights versus men's rights" but that both are the same really

You mean I don't have to go around wearing a dress to get in touch with my feminine? :D

nope, that's what you have to do to make me laugh :lol:

question: why do computer programmes (especially graphic design programmes if that's what you call them? e.g. Corel, Freehand..) never do what I want them to do?

Heres an even better question...Why do Christmas Carols have a Universal Appeal?

who said they do?

question: why do computer programmes (especially graphic design programmes if that's what you call them? e.g. Corel, Freehand..) never do what I want them to do?Because they are written by computer programmers who, by all accounts, spend very little time in the same physical reality as the rest of us.

You don't know?!!! Maybe dear old grandma is going to become a VAMPYRE! you never know.

Why are all the statues in churches always sad or crying? shouldn't there be a happy jesus or something? (I'm probably gonna get killed for posting this :p )

:lol: :lol: I think drama is more effective when it comes to religion...something about appealing to human guilt!!

Why whenever you choose the shortest line in the supermarket, THAT is probably the slowest???? (talk about a Murphy's Law, right???)

feminist means equal rights so of course there are male feminists

The suffix "ist" means "of, relating to, or characteristic of " - so, technically, the word "feminist" means "of, relating to, or characteristic of females." Nothing in there about "equal rights." People who claim feminist identity may be very concerned about female rights, but the name is not synonymous with equal rights. (Hence my quibbling over on the "feminism dismantling patriarchism" thread...)

I'm not sure what bugs you can have in a graphics program. Well, programming a program and than debugging it takes a lot of time and usually companies don't have the time so they force programmers to program faster and then you end up with a program which needs 15 more patches for it to work properly...
