I hate it so much when people post a video over 2 minutes long to answer a simple question. EDIT: Evolution, if true, does not disprove religion...at all. I don't see why so many people think it does.

Quick question: I've heard various wording with 'caspering out'. I hear people say flip out, and casper out. I'm confused, is there a difference? I'm not too sure myself, but I'd assume they mean the same thing. Caspering out might just mean that they're flipping the board back over from a casper to land. Then flipping out would be adding to the trick...sort of like a combo. I honestly don't know, it could be either of those or something totally different.

I'm almost able to get into a casper and flip out of it...I'm not too sure what the flip would be called. I'll have to get a picture of the foot placement so everyone could get an idea of what I'm talking about.

Finding the origin of our existence is a waste of time? Why? Because religion tells you what happened and you should blindly obey it? l2/Age of Reason And those people deserve to live? Believe whatever the hell you want to, but if it is PROVEN that you are wrong and you're too immature to deal with it, your life is inconsequential. I don't really consider it a waste of time...but why do you think it isn't? There are supposedly a lot of things we could learn from this if it all goes well...but that's it. It's not really gonna get us anywhere besides being able to put more info in textbooks. ...I don't think people have really thought that way for over a thousand years... Besides, this "Big Bang Theory" actually supports the idea of their being a God/s even more so than the original idea that our universe has always been here. Just felt like pointing that out. TV does some good at times.

Wasps actually have a purpose...they're part of the cycle of life. We don't really have a purpose other than the ones we create. We are getting pretty close to being able to live on other rocks.

It actually was all over the news this morning...

Don't forget about me.

I never said they were separate, but in the equation they are. This is why I try not to use Wikipedia. I've seen so many things on Discovery Channel about antimatter and assumed that we've experimented with it before, but when I went to make sure...Wikipedia said something else. Since most people on here worship Wikipedia...I decided to just go with what that said so I could stop researching. Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, but without mass...no weight, no gravitational pull. That's how I viewed it. Exactly, we have ways to slow the effects of gravity with air resistance and escape it with thrust, but it isn't getting rid of it. Ok, then we don't have to worry about that anymore. Now we could just focus on how we could take away mass from matter without destroying it. Even though matter can't necessarily be destroyed. And before you start talking about levitating frogs, that's simply diamagnetism, which creates an opposite repulsive magnetic force. There is supposedly a way to change matter into light, which isn't taking away all of it's mass, because light does have mass, but this would allow us to use a very low amount of energy to get speed. The way to supposedly change matter into light is by bouncing ultra high frequencies, medium high frequencies and low frequencies off of the object in a certain pattern and speed. Not sure if it's true, but people have apparently done this before with it working.

Hmmm...Well if you don't mind, would I be able to use your idea for Liberty City Stories and or Vice City Stories? If you ever get them then I'll pass the responsibility back over to you if you want me to. I've just been really bored lately since my PS3 is messed up and I'm looking for something to do...and your idea seems pretty fun.

Yeah, I believe that would be considered thrust of some sort. Well I was thinking along the lines of converting matter into antimatter. Right now it's just a theory of mine, with not too much supporting it. Now if we were able to some how convert matter into antimatter...then we'd have to see if antimatter is affected by gravity at all. Basically, we'd want to find out if antimatter is affected by gravity before we attempt to convert matter into antimatter. I'm pretty sure we'd be able to figure all of this out using some physics equations, but since I can't remember the correct ones needed for this particular problem, I'll have to improvise...in a way. Let's look at the mass of the Earth as +6X10^24 and an average person as +70. Now if both of these positives create an attraction, then what would cause this attraction to be canceled? Thinking in a somewhat mathematical sense, if both masses were equal then they would have either no attraction to one another or most likely, or definitely in a physics sense, would be equal. So if gravitational attraction is caused when either an object is larger in mass than the other or when they have the same mass, then what else is there to cause cancellation of gravitational attraction? Maybe if one does not have mass or, if possible, negative mass. That got me thinking that maybe antimatter might appear massless(…?) to regular matter. Now let me remind you, mass and density causes gravitational attraction. So it doesn't matter how much more massive something is, a less massive object could actually have a greater gravitational attraction, depending on it’s density.

Yeah, don't you wish you could re-live your past?

I liked Rocket Power. That show was kick ass. Funny that you mention Rocket Power. It was on Nick two days ago. I was SO fucking happy. Pretty much tomorrow when I get home from school I'm going to write down a bunch of TV shows I liked, and I'm going to set a goal to obtain all of the episodes from that show. So far I already know I need Avatar, Invader Zim, Rugrats((old and new)), Ren and Stimpy, Angry Beaver, CatDog. I know there's a bunch more. Aww man, I used to love the Rugrats. Let's just say they use to call me the "Original Rugrats Master". What about Legends of the Hidden Temple? That was another bad ass show.

I liked Rocket Power. That show was kick ass.

Right now I'm watching an episode of Mythbusters, which deals with the possibilities of anti-gravity. To be vague, their definition of "anti-gravity" is canceling the effects of gravity. Pretty simple. This caused me to start thinking about how that would even be possible, so I started thinking about the basics. "What causes gravity?” That would be mass and density. So basically, in order to escape the attraction between both gravitational pulls, I thought that you'd have to either cancel the mass and or density of either of the objects, preferably the object needing the use of anti-gravity. Out of mass and density, it seems more likely that mass would be the easiest thing to attempt to cancel, with my way of thinking. But how would you cancel mass? It's a hard question to answer, but my thought is antimatter. Antimatter, in my opinion, is a lot more complicated than anti-gravity. We at least know what anti-gravity is and what it could do for us and so on and so forth. Antimatter, on the other hand, is somewhat an unknown. Not much is known about it and we haven't been able to really study it because we don't have any to work with, from my understanding. If we were able to some how turn the matter we're trying to give anti-gravity into antimatter, then I think it would automatically be immune to gravity. I haven't thought this out fully yet, but if you have any constructive ideas about this, please post here. EXTRA THOUGHTS: Without mass or density, I don't think there can be matter, which is what lead me to the idea of changing matter into antimatter.

I like this idea. I'd do this if my PS3 didn't break. Would you be able to make some missions that would fit with Liberty City Stories and or Vice City Stories?

I would so buy that if it were real. They should at least come out with a GTA version of Monopoly. Or maybe a GTA Real Estate version of Monopoly.

We could just make certain things difficult for robots to do...like kill people.

So I guess I won't be seeing any skating videos of you in a while. Are you able to do a finger flip? EDIT: Holy shit, I'm so pumped right now. I just landed a finger flip to railstand combo. I've been wanting to land one and I did it when I wasn't even really trying to.

Haha no worries, I'm pretty horrible when it comes to CORRECTLY reading things. @HB: Yeah no doubt(: Tbh honest though, the complete camera setup that I've been fapping to lately is around $6,000. I'm trying to perswade myself that I don't need that nice a setup as my first camera. Yeah, just get a $100-$200 one. That's all you need unless you want to make movies...lol I've been thinking of getting a new one...not sure though. I'm also trying to save up for a vehicle. Anyways, I'm able to do railstands a little better now and I could do a more professional finger flip.

There's an idea. I'm all for talking about the pros and cons about future technology, as you pointed out from a quote of mine, but it seemed like we were starting to steer away from discussing technology. That just might be me though. Yeah, I'd have to agree with you there, but it's still pretty cool what we've been able to create.

In this topic you could post links to your profiles from community sites such as Myspace and Facebook. Feel free to discuss about anything you find on member's community site profiles. Here are the community sites I'm on. Myspace Facebook I wasn't sure if there was a topic like this, so sorry if there is. I tried a search.

Yeah, you have to get a camera so I could see what you could do.

If I'm understanding this right, they want to limit where we could go to on the internet...I don't really get how they could do that...People could already get free internet...so if they can't stop people from getting free access to the internet...how would they stop those same people from getting around this? I think this will just cause a rise in "theft".

Wow, that must have sucked. Do you skateboard with anyone? I was trying to make up some new variations to the tricks that I know how to do and was able to land a caveman to railstand and a double board flip caveman. I've been trying to do 360 shuv-its and finger flip to casper, but I have had no luck landing them.

They got it built with loads of different kinds of pulleys and ramps, very elaborate ones. The Egyptians were very intelligent, but most of their inventions required a lot of manpower. It would take a lot for our current society to lose our technological advances. I personally don't think it's gonna happen...at least not for a good while. Unless all that stuff about 2012 comes true, but all of the millennium ones didn't, so the odds are pretty low. As for current technology, or near future technology, some people are working on a lot of things dealing with our brains. Things from virtual reality, controlling computers with just our minds and actually downloading our memory onto a computer along with the ability to download new information into our heads. A lot of those things, I feel, will have a lot of flaws, but it’s interesting to think about all the possibilities there are with ourselves.
