If you mean .9[repeating] then it can be proven very easily that .9[repeating]=1 1/3 = .3[repeating] 3 * 1/3 = 3 * .3[repeating] 3 * 1/3 = 1 3 * .3[repeating] = .9[repeating] 1 = .9[repeating]

Answer: Graves aren't for the corpse, they are for the living. They are a place for the living to commemorate the life of the person who has died.

You have that backwards. Raising animals causes far more habitat destruction than fruit and vegetables. To raise animals you need space for the animals plus a disproportionate amount of space to grow the feed for them. If people relied entirely on fruits and vegetable that would mean less land...

I can completely understand that ethical perspective. But another one worth considering is not looking at it from the individual animal's perspective but the species level. Livestock animals are some of the most successful species on the planet. They have the greatest populations and ranges...

Actually not necessarily. In Japan they love, yuke, which is high grade raw ground chuck mixed with raw quail egg. It's eaten fresh and the food safety standards are quite high in Japan so there is not a problem with disease. In addition, I and most of the country find it quite delicious. So...

No. It is illegal to sell incandescent light bulbs. Owning them is fine. If you have some in your house nobody is going to charge you with a crime. And they were taken off the market for a very good reason. Energy efficiency and cutting of greenhouse gases.

This isn't semantics. It's a basic question concerning epistemology. So it is your position that ALL claims to truth have equal validity? If I said that your feet was held to the ground by magic pixies instead of gravity, you would consider that equally valid as Newton's theory of gravity?

Accuser? Nobody is accusing anybody of anything. This is the question as to the existence of something. Basic logic: The burden of proof is on the one who makes the positive assertion. Example: If I say "Unicorns exist," it is up to me to provide the evidence that they do exist. Until...

That can be said of ALL science. The heliocentric theory of the solar system is the best THEORY we have AT THE MOMENT. The germ theory of disease is the best THEORY we have AT THE MOMENT. Atomic theory of matter is the best THEORY we have AT THE MOMENT. Electromagnetic theory (the theory...

There is little proof denying the existence of unicorns, or imps, or fairies. Shall we belief in them UNTIL they are shown not to exist? The burden of proof is on those that claim that something exists. Until that burden is met there is no reason to believe that it does.

Then you agree that some ideas hold more truth than others? That not all explanations are equal?

Not true, otherwise you wouldn't have responded, multiple times, and tried to convince me of your position.

I don't understand why you even tried. Why you would ever try to convince anyone of anything since you believe all realities are personal. How could you ever use reason and evidence from your reality to change the view somebody has of their reality? Or do you accept that you and I and others...

MovieBob has no hypocrisy on this point. A person's race and beliefs are not all similar. Making fun of one is nothing like making fun of the other. I person can have bad beliefs and they can change them. There is no such thing as a bad race and it can't be changed. So, none of us share...
