ar·ro·gant /ˈerəɡənt/ adjective: arrogant having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities. I did NOT call you arrogant - I said in excluding animals and plants is arrogant.. It is the HEIGHT of Arrogance to not believe that they have both feelings and self awareness. So they know 'I' Humans - the only creatures with a sense of 'I' - to quote you - is Absurd ab·surd /əbˈsərd,əbˈzərd/ adjective: absurd; comparative adjective: absurder; superlative adjective: absurdest wildly unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate.

I replied to what you posted - have no idea what you are 'referring' to unless I am told. A new study out of Durham University in the United Kingdom suggests that the childhood environment of males determines their testosterone level, undermining the previous prevailing theories that race or genes govern the amount of the hormone in each individual. https://www.everydayhealth.com/mens-health/where-men-spend-their-childhood-determines-testosterone-level-study-says/

You don' think other animal species have a sense of "I" ? Or plants do not have the same ? That is so very self centered, and Arrogant Kinda of like humans be all like "We are the Champions" of the world.

555 - so body builders who take testosterone are more masculine than those that do not ? I repeat - 555

Just so I understand you ... Less body and facial hair, and being not as tall, makes you less masculine ?

Always best to find a good shop and stick with it. If I ever need (want !) a good body shop there is one in Lamphun that does a lot of custom cars and trucks. Very nice work

Thanks for the clarification. Did not know if you were laying the blame on CNX alone. Terrible disease. I have no proof, but I am willing to bet that the burgeoning use of plastics after WWII will be shown in years to come to be a major source. The off gassing of these products, which then enter your lungs at every breath you take. Along with adhesives used in about everything - like plywood, particle board, MDF, etc. As well as leaching into any liquid they come in contact with, be it cleaning solutions or even water.

Agree - the only purpose is to continue living. If it makes you feel better to believe in some existential 'Reason' for it, by all means go for it. I lived in some truly horrible places, and the will to survive is why I am still amongst the living.

That 'Higher Purpose' is a way for humans to answer the fundamental question which has been asked for millennia - "Why are we Here ?" To me - any question - apart from a purely scientific reason - that begins with "WHY" is suspect. EG - 'Why do you not love me any more ?' Because the person who originally said 'I Love You' is no longer here. He has changed, evolved, turned into something different. Or the other party has - or both would be closer to the Truth. It will take something non-human to find the reason - that is if there is one.

You lived nowhere on earth that could have contributed to your emphysema ? Find it hard to believe that Chiang Mai is the only reason. Got a good friend in line for a lung transplant - he never lived anywhere smoky ... but there you go

You call it 'scare mongering' when a frame breaks ? Just ask Robert Dunlop what happens when a wheel breaks. But it is OK - he has another wheel at the front

Very easy to end it all without pain, and 100% effective. Gov'ts around the world need to realize that it is not any of their business what people do, if it does not harm others. And this includes suicide. The only people against it are those who do not have to endure the monumental pain that will need to be endured otherwise. Quality of life. Thank Judeo-Christian religion, which still exerts a strong hold on the justice system of Western countries, altho all organized religions are more or less the same.

The 'You' is part of your physical body (and 'Soul' if your beliefs run this way) here and now. After death - there is no You anymore. If you are reincarnated, there is a "New" you. Which may or may not have knowledge of the old You. The You right now is a construct of your experiences in this life up to this point. A You in a reincarnated body will not be the same - old You likes carrots, new You hates them for example - altho' some traits may be in common. Still waiting ...

Just look how thin that tubing is !!!

Agree - but some are strong, sure of themselves and sure in themselves. Others - not so much They must seek validation in the 'respect' and 'affection' of others - things which are not real, and just a sham IM not so HO Those who are grounded need no such window dressing. Fear makes people do some pretty funny things - not all funny Ha Ha but many funny Sad
