Hey everyone, Maybe a few of you will vaguely remember my name. I used to be active in this forum around 6-8 years ago, I helped record one or two League of Reason Presents episodes, and I eventually stopped checking the forum altogether. I was in my early teens I was active here so it's funny...

Greetings. I'll try to be as succinct as possible. I'm an agnostic atheist. Therefore my morals don't come from God (never mind how this wouldn't work). I'm also not convinced by any atheistic (meaning lacking the premise of the existence of God) moral system I've encountered, and I'll explain...

So here's a small geeky joke for ya. So, a fractal and infinity walk into a bar. Infinity steps on the fractal's foot by mistake, and they start fighting. - Stop it, you endless moronic monotonous piece of shit - says the fractal. Infinity holds for a moment, and responds: - Oh please, shut...

Hello everyone :) I've noticed that most of the times, when creationists get popular here on the LoR, they often use the argument that this is an atheist forum, with atheist mods, atheist rules and that the moderators bend the rules towards... well.. atheists. So I'd like to start a poll here...

Hey. I had classes today, and while we were talking about globalization in the classroom, I noticed, like I always do... There was no rational inquiry, critical thinking... The teacher was just vomiting biased information at us and expect us to blindly accept it. And the shame is, most of the...

Hey there. So I went to my local library and got myself a big and fat copy of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. I'll be reading it these holidays, and I'd like some insight on.. well... how TO read it. Considering I haven't read anything by Kant so far, what should I expect? Anything I...

So, we're close to Christmas and I was thinking of asking for an investment of 50€ for my Steam account. Mom said, 50€'s the max for this year. Which is normal. Besides, crisis. Anyways, I was looking at the best, new ,or best selling games on Steam... and I don't find anything that looks good...

So I'm wandering around my school... and BAAM, I see one of my friends playing something on his PC. It's him, so I know it's a good game. I thought it was Skyrim. Because epic. But then I see NITRONIC RUSH written in big letters. Because epic. He starts playing, I start getting high just from...

Yes, it's true. I said "smart people". It's quite vague isn't it? "What do you MEAN smart people?" You know what I mean. So basically, my mom is a Christian. And she's smart - believe me. Perfect grades all the way, handles everything everyone does, handles problems magnificently, finds...

Greetings. I'm not so sure where to post this, but... I've come to an age in which it's a "thing" to start smoking. In other words, a substantial part of my classmates will probably start smoking in this school year. And considering that I don't smoke, and don't intend to try anything of that...

http://www.cmjornal.xl.pt/detalhe/noticias/nacional/portugal/falso-padre-vive-foragido-a-justica It's in portuguese - you might wanna translate. Basically it's a fake priest - he pretended to be a priest for 3 years - that's THREE years. He did weddings, funerals, Communions! He stole 4500$...

Hey. As an amoralist, I've always felt like I was the only one... at least in my circle of friends/online communication-thingies. I was wondering how many of you fellow LoRers are moral nihilists as well... if so/if not... what's your take on amoralism? *lonely* It's a view that I've seen...

A study conducted at the Harvard Medical School reveals that placebos not only work by means of positive thinking, lies, deception... apparently they also work when the patient is fully aware that what they're getting is essentially sugar pills. In other words, it's possible that the actual...

Hey there. I made a C++ Tic Tac Toe core/display. It's basically the function that prints the board, with a 3x3 array to store X's and O's. It's fully functional... for now. #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; /* Displaying the board works the following way: There's a...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qtjI8eGtvM It's about the possibility that thousands of years ago, aliens visited the Earth and gave knowledge to our ancestors, blablabla. I'm more focused on the History channel, though. I've always thought of the History Channel as an unbiased source of...

Hey. Lately I've been hearing a bit about the so-called Alexander technique. I won't go into details on what it is, I encourage you to google it and check out the wiki page. Basically it's a technique used to cure muscular back pain, fix unbalanced body positions, bla bla bla. Now the...

Hey there :) On LoR, and only on LoR, there seems to be a problem with keeping and using the login cookies probably. Every about two times I connect, I still have enter all my login info. This happens only on this forum, so I doubt there's a problem in my side... Any help?

Today was in the chat for a while, then I left. Now when I try to come back it gives me a "Not found" error message: "The requested URL /error.html/ was not found on this server." No idea what the problem is.

Greetings. I've recently had a small casual discussion with my mother, who is a softly religious person, I would say. She's a believer but doesn't believe literally in the mythology that is into it. I casually brought up the subject of the universe and its coming to existence, because I wanted...

Greetings. I've been thinking about this subject for a long time, now I've decided to create a thread on it. Yes. That's what I do here. Spit out my thoughts. That's how ridiculous I am. Now, shall we? When one thinks about opinion, subjectivity comes in mind. That's obvious, since opinion...
