As has been explained, it wasn't nasty. What does the poster's gender have to do with it? How was Crunchy supposed to know that Maika is female? How is "her" gender relevant to the situation in which "she" has put herself? And the point has already been explained. Because people post here. But the title of the forum IS Sciforums, and that is supposed to be our main focus. Oh dear. Whatever gives that impression? Atheism is a lack of belief. Because the person the comment was aimed is the person in the situation. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please indicate where Maika's gender was 1) given and 2) relevant. It would, of course, depend on the situation. If it were used as a threat, say, then I would consider it an insult. If however, to give an example, my mother was in a queue of 500 people with 5 minutes remaining before the till closed and someone said "You're screwed" (i.e. the implication being that the situation [= apparent timing] she is in was not conducive to getting done what she was there for) then I would consider it an apt and entirely non-offensive observation. What's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah... CONTEXT. Have YOU forgotten that laughter and smiles also go with joy, pleasure, friendliness, sympathy..? And that has relevance because...? How does YOUR relationship with Maika alter what Crunchy knows of "her"? The fact that you and she are long-term penfriends or whatever has no bearing whatsoever on Crunchy's available knowledge of her or the situation as it pertained.
no i'm not. and sleeping isn't hallucinating. and science, there are manykinds. your kind is a closed system science where as the science of God is the science of THE ALL and has different rules.
Then you may not have enough education in biology/physiology to understand it yet. That is correct. On the other hand when you dream, you are hallucinating. That is what a dream is. It is a form of natural (and healthy) human hallucination that occurs during sleep. There is no "science of God"; however, you are welcome to provide evidence to support your assertion.
It’s elementary Dear Watson..! Think……….Science.. How many men’s names do you know of….. ending in – A..? No need for fingers and toes..

Hmm, since when did user names become science? Since this is a multi-national site one's choice of user name refutes all sorts of assumptions - we have a guy who thought Doreen was a male name, one who thought Jan was a female name. Fail. Or are you also implying that Emotional Hooligan is your given name? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Edit: plus, of course, there's the little matter of the statement from Maika herself that the name was deliberately chosen to be "compatible" with (of all things) Chaldean Numerology. Which leaves us asking A) is it a genuine Chaldean name? (And therefore did Chaldeans follow the same "rule" for name endings?) or B) is it, as I thought, a simply an easy-to-write/ pronounce combination of letters that accords with this numerology rubbish?
Having a - knowledge -of languages might help.. “Sometimes, a noun may stay the same, but the Spanish gender differs depending on the sex of the person. el / la estudiante student el / la guía guide Feminine nouns: • Most words ending in the letter –a. la manta blanket la casa house” Anyway.. how many men's names can you think of endig with A.. ? -
Really? How? Please explain this to me, because my knowledge of Russian, French, English and German (with smatterings of a dozen or so others doesn't make YOUR meaning clear). So Maika is a Spanish name? Luca, Obadia? I see you decided to ignore this bit: And this bit: In other words, one would first have to know that Maika is a real name - which would also mean that we knew it was a female name.
No.. French http://www.babynames.com/name/MAIKA So how many men's names can you think of ending in A.. ?
Wrong. It goes back to Hebrew. And is also used in Germany and the Netherlands. http://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Maika So you don't read my posts?
If I told my doctor I was having some bad hallucinations.. when I meant bad dreams.. do you think that might confuse him? Define - hallucinating.. in a manner that won't confuse my doctor.. And.. what advice would you give this person.. who posted this message.. --- I hallucinate at night. Yes I dream, but THIS is not dreaming. I sit up in my bed, eyes open, and I see people. For the past 7-8 years I've been hallucinating at night. It starts around 1 or 2 am (because I can see my clock). It started off with parties. Like a group of friends would be in my room and I'd be sitting up in bed. I could talk to my friends, they could talk back. I've even set up a tape recorder in my room before, I remember everything I say, but I listen to the tape recorder too and I can hear myself saying things to people. Sometimes I see my friends in my room and I'll look at the clock, realize what time it is, and I'll start worrying about how I can get them out of the house without my mom seeing. I've talked to peopel about it and they say, "Oh you're just dreaming and it looks really real"- NO I AM NOT JUST DREAMING. I can feel myself sitting there, I can feel my bed, my eyes are open, everything. Recently I started working at a coffee shop. Now I hallucinate that I'm making drinks in my bed and pulling milk foam out of my down comforter. I can see the cup there infront of me. I sometimes can grab it and move it. But then after a while my brain starts kicking in and i remember that I'm hallucinating and the coffee shop isn't in my room and we're not even open this late. Then the cup goes away. The people go away. And there I am, sitting up in bed, looking around and down at my hands which are still trying to pull foam out of the sheets. It's really getting ridiculous. I'll wake up exhausted because I'd hallucinate the night before for about 2 hours straight. I've started setting up signs around my room saying "You're Hallucinating, Pam, go back to sleep!" and "The coffee shop ISN'T open, go back to sleep"- I try to remind myself. I hope that by seeing the signs it helps me remember faster that I'm hallucinating and that the thing that I'm hallucinating about isn't actually real. Sometimes it helps, I see the signs and I realize it faster, but other times I ignore the signs, I'm too busy talking to my friend that's sitting on my bed or making a mocha latte for a regular customer. Even moving into a new house didn't change it. It still happened. On vacations, I still hallucinate. I hallucinate A LOT when I'm in hotels. I'll see peopel standing in the room, having their own little party or get together or something, and I'll just sit up in bed for an hour and then I'll realize that I'm hallucinating and then the people will fade away. The thing is is that I dream a lot too. Sometimes up to around 5-7 dreams a night. I know the difference between dreaming and hallucinating. I hope you understand what I'm saying. I'm not taking any drugs. I've never used drugs before. I don't drink alcohol. I'm only 17! Seriously I've been hallucinating at night since I was like 10. It's crazy and ridiculous. I want to stop because I'm loosing sleep at night sitting up seeing things. Please help me If you can't, thank you SO MUCH for reading this- seriously. I'm not on drugs I SWEAR. please help me Thanks,
So, how are those irrational fantasies working for you? Is it because reality is too difficult for you to handle or have you simply lost the ability to think?
Don't know. I suspect when he asks you the question about "when" you are hallucinating and you say "while asleep" that he'll know it's a dream. Sensory perception that is internally generated. Something that you are conveniently glossing over however, is we break hallucination down into different forms and have words to distinguish them (see the list I already provided). If you don't want to acknowledge this then there is nothing more I can do for you. This person's hypnopompic state lasts hours longer than most people's and a consultation with a physician and psychologist are in order if the person would like look into options of reducing the duration of the state or dealing with the state.
An important part of thinking is that it makes you aware of other people’s feelings.. Are you having some trouble with that..? And... the evidence for your own ability to think is.. ? Show us something.. Maybe you could provide a link to your own ideas.. I’m always interested in original thinking.. ---- “A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.” Oscar Wilde
Does anyone understand it.. really..? --- "Virtual particles are subatomic particles that form out of "nothing" (vacuum fields conceptually analogous to lines of force between magnetic poles) for extremely short periods of time and then disappear again. Such particles permeate space, mediate particle decay, and mediate the exchange of the fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak, strong, and—in accord with quantum theory—gravititational forces). Virtual particles are real and have measurable effects, but the same uncertainty principle that allows them to come into existence dictates that they cannot be directly observed. The meaning of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is that "something" can arise from "nothing" if the "something" returns to the "nothing" after a very short time—an interval too short in which to be observed. These micro-violations of energy conservation are not only allowed to happen, they do, and so "empty" space is seething with particle-antiparticle pairs that come into being and then annihilate each other again after a very short interval. Although these particles cannot be observed individually, their existence can be demonstrated." http://www.youtube.com/user/AcceleratorPlus#p/u/55/tg6typtR93M -
Consequently that quote doesn't actually represent the facts about virtual particles accurately. Virtual particles are transformations of fields to particle pairs. It's not "something" from "nothing". It's "something" from "something".
Hilarious, you quote Oscar Wilde in direct contradiction to your post, which is also in direct contradiction to itself. LOL!
