No, and never will. I hate guns, and I have a child in the house. If someone can explain how I can protect my house with a gun that is locked away to protect my child, I would love to hear it. | there are some gun locks that are easy to open very quickly, if you know how.
On the other hand, you could teach your child how to handle a gun responsibly. That's probably more effective at preventing accidents than gun locks.

*Pitch Black*
Yeah, the one with Vin Diesel. Yeah, I know *The Chronicles of Riddick* is really average, but *Pitch Black* is a fantastic Sci-Fi movie.

To be fair though, dogs don't really have the same concept of "risking one's life" that humans do. A dog, being incapable of understanding the concept of its own mortality, is unable to think (in its own, doggy way), "This could kill me, but I'm going to do it anyway."
Dogs certainly have a concept of danger-avoidance, and can choose to override their fears for someone that they share a strong bond with. But even the strongest danger avoidance mechanism is "That might hurt" or "that's scary", and never "I might die", because the latter is something that they're simply not able to even comprehend.
Sorry dog lovers, but you do dogs a disservice by anthropomorphizing them too much. Interact with them for what they actually are (an organism with a long evolutionary history alongside man, that can form strong bonds with people), not for what Disney has conditioned you to think of them as (little furry humans).
*EDIT:* To the people downmodding me, I'm not trying to demean dogs. I just think it's important to realize that they don't have the same types of mental states as humans, because *they're not humans*. Their understanding of the world around them and the motivations for their actions are not the same as *our* understanding and *our* motivations, even though there **is** some overlap. | You could also say dogs, being slaves to their instincts, feel fear more intensely and urgently than humans do. And while humans can use thought to override these instincts and fight-flight responses, animals just go with instincts and whatever they have been conditioned to learn in their lifetime.
So now we have this dog, crossing a highway to get to the other dog. I'm pretty sure it's about to crap it's pants in fear, (Sorry to anthropomorphize.) but something made it run out there, while enormous, loud, scary cars are zooming by.
No, it probably didn't run to that dog because it knew what it was doing and wanted to "save" it. Dogs are pack animals with pack instincts (live with their pack, hunt with their pack, protect their pack etc.) so it's probably just these hardwired instincts kicking in to protect a packmember. | 0.53243 | 0.760563 | 0.81617 | 0.83526 | 0.718632 | 1 | null | null | null | null | null |

In year one of my counseling training, my professor told me a story about a guy with a similar question.

No, because ideas, concerns, and questions vetted as substantive by the social voting mechanism have a stamp of legitimacy far greater than any number of personal emails from relative unknowns.
The fact that the online community can reach and recognize a state of democratic consensus while simultaneously exhibiting a strong willingness to evangelize their efforts and act in ways that demand response to their consensus is a new social good and a potentially powerful countervailing force to the profit-centric political and media structures currently in place.
Think of it as a unionization of sorts, only for the internet.

Here's the challenge: Imagine that you have enough money to buy all things you will need to survive on your own in a manner as comfortable as possible. But once you've spent the initial money, there won't be any cash coming in, other than what you can generate on your own, selling whatever it is that you sell (even your own labor, assuming that there is enough time in the day for that).
You can spend any reasonable (or even unreasonable) amount of money on land, buildings, farm equipment, seed and plant stock, livestock, vehicles, wind turbines, anything at all.. you name it.
And the challenge part is this: after you have done so, you are as self-reliant as is possible. As much food as you think you'd need, and of the types you'd need, you'll grow it (and process it) yourself.
Any fuel that you use, if you can manage it, should be self-produced.
If you drive into town, it should be out of necessity as little as possible.
Any of your other needs that you can think of, if you can meet them yourself, you'll do so.
Describe what you'd initially buy, how much you think it would cost, who you'd take with you, where you'd do this, what things you'd still need to purchase and how often, and in total how much cash you'd still need each year to survive (don't forget property tax!). | I'd probably buy a bike or two, and live somewheres in the mid-atlantic/north east near good water and a small town.

Actually having free will isn't just thinking you have free will. The example I use in my class is this: If I was a jedi master and I used the force on one of my students and made him say "I really enjoy this class and I have made this decision freely". He clearly wouldn't actually have free will.
'Actual' free will enters the equation if you posit something like an immaterial soul *or* if you change the definition of freedom like the compatibilists do.

Build another plant or two then. Five billion dollars for a plant that can produce a dozen components needed for several billion dollar nuclear power plants every year is peanuts. We managed to produce over 100 Nuclear power plants in America, almost all between 1960, and 1980. Saying we couldn't do two or three times that rate within five years is just silly.
A ten Billion dollar investment for the ability to produce 24 Nuclear power plants a year is hardly rate limiting. And once up and running, 24 Nuclear power plants a year would be more than enough to replace coal within two or three decades. Remember, we produce 20% of our Nuclear power with our 104 plants. With 300 of them, we wouldn't need coal(ignoring growth in electricity, which would probably make it 400-500ish, or 17 years from the two hypothetical five billion dollar plants I mention). | MIT's Future of Nuclear Power study (http://web.mit.edu/nuclearpower/) stated that we need to build between 1000 and 1500 reactors worldwide over the next half-century to make even a small dent in global carbon emissions. We'll get maybe half that if we continue with the one forging plant in Japan. Even if we build another plant, it's still a lot of effort for a relatively smaller impact on carbon emissions considering the gains we could make by advancing renewable energy.
We have 10 years to really make change, and while the intentions may be good, I just think nuclear is a bit too involved for us to completely bank our energy future on it. | 0.704225 | 0.690909 | 0.697674 | 0.97349 | 0.768585 | 1 | null | null | null | null | null |

Well no not exactly. Different people are willing to pay different amounts, so it's a function of the price. They have to maximize:
(price - unit cost) * willing payers
So unit cost does come into play. In this case unit cost happens to be near zero. | Wrong. Price and Cost have no relation. Don't even try to argue, take any Econ 101 in any school.

The belief that price and cost are related is a comsumers vision that they are not getting ripped off.
Yes, different people are willing to pay different amounts. It is the challenge of business people to find the price per unit that brings in the most revenue. That price is unrelated to cost, period. | 0.833333 | 0.945161 | 0.223881 | 0.561241 | 0.745537 | 1 | null | null | null | null | null |

jump off a building with a bungee cord that reaches almost to the ground, but before you do tie a noose around your head out of strong fishing wire. make the noose about forty feet long, to give you time enough to build up speed, and then before you jump superglue your hands to your face.
the end result is that you jump off the building, the noose pulls taut, cuts off your head, the bungee cord tightens and you end up hanging ten metres above rush hour traffic with your head in your hands unattached to your body.
