I remember reading that there is something in the order of 80 million sperm in an average male ejaculation. Now, I find that fact pretty amazing in and of itself, but what is really astonishing to me is that the particular reproductive cell that managed to yield the OP managed to beat out the other 79.99 million sperm involved in the race.
I simply can’t imagine what those would have been like.
skeptical frightened child, that is what you are. you have answered your own question, coward.
quit being a fucking idiot. the reason i exist is because i won the race; i was the most viable fish in the river and thus the most enlightened. none of those other 80,000,000 sperm were more fit to survive than me.
think about this, coward : i was sperm 80,000,001 …
Yeah, but what were the odds that the whole load would be so darn weak?
Come on people Question may as well be living under a bridge being harassed by Billy Goats Gruff. Lets starve the bugger out
I wonder what the pollution levels in that river are?
Is anyone else getting the impression that it’s DNFTT time?
SimonX …
i apologized… i let my anger get the best of me… still …
please read the threads i have created on this server and if you could try to cast aside your doubt for a moment and pretend that what i have said is valid …
Methinks that’s precisely the origin of the old sayin’ “you’re one load your Momma should have swallowed.”
And if it is isn’t, it should be.
Anyhoo…not interested in feeding you any additional morsels of wisdom. And your kind dies off rather quickly without nourishment.
So, later – as in much.
Question, your mind and Czarcasm’s mind are the same. You already KNOW why you closed the thread.
Just collapse the waveform, and you’ll see.

Question, Aw, too bad you didn’t listen. You seem to be following the self-destruct pattern, right on schedule. What about if you look at this a different way. People here, especially the mods are just sadly, not as enlightened as you are. Accept that we are all so different in our sameness.:rolleyes:
IIRC, some of those sperm are sperm-killer sperm. They exist just to kill other guy’s sperm.
It looks like our pal Hiryuu / Dan Winter is back for a visit, and this time he is huffing paint thinner.
To be serious:
Question, I used to live with a guy who thought very similarly to you. He was a very sweet, friendly guy, and I really enjoyed his company, even though I thought he was hopelessly stupid when it came to the issue of psychoactive substances (he, for example, defended LSD use by saying that every ingested substance, from broccoli to white flour, was psychoactive).
When we deny the idea that hallucinogens enlighten you, we’re not just doing it from knee-jerk anti-drug fervor: some of us are doing it after long reflection on the subject. You say that you’ve experienced enlightenment through hallucinogens, but you’re not an objective obervor. The fact that you’ve taken so many hallucinogens makes you uniquely UN-qualified to make any observation about their effects, paradoxically.
Consider, for a moment, just as a thought exercise, the idea that hallucinogens drive people barking mad. If this is true, then you’re barking mad, right? Why, then, would you trust your perceptions as to what hallucinogens have done?
I’ve met plenty of folks who’ve done lots of Alduous-Huxley-style tripping. Not one of them struck me as especially, or even moderately, enlightened. I’ve met plenty of folks who struck me as enlightened: gentle, wise souls who could get right to the heart of an issue with a few well-chosen words or gestures. None of them had spent much time taking hallucinogens.
From where you stand, the drugs might make you feel enlightened. From where I stand, they make you look self-absorbed, arrogant, and singularly unconcerned with the truth.

Anyone else reminded of this guy?
Why does James Randi owe you $1,000,000?
What makes you think that saying it’s “self-evident” is enough to win the JREF Challenge?
Did you fill out, notarize, and sign the application for the challenge?
Did you in fact understand the conditions required to win the challenge?
Can you show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event?
Did you pass both the preliminary and final testing stages, as outlined at http://www.randi.org/research/challenge.html?
When?
Why am I writing as if I was a headline writer for the Watchtower?:smack:
you are asbolutely right, Daniel …
i am as much under the influence of the ying and yang of existance as anyone else and for a moment there i let darkness and hate take control. why? because all the energy of the universe must be kept in state of balance. my hate was overriding my love and until the moment that i recognized that i was doomed to repeat the same mistake for eternity.
Please note that your diction, at best, consists of many specially defined words for which you provide not appropriate definition.
You say things that are very vague. The rule that I learned sometime ago is, “The more vague, the more true.”
Even if what you’ve said is “valid” that doesn’t mean that it actually conveys any useful meaning, (or information).
Essentially, you’re speaking in some sort of Question code that only you have the key to crack.
What I told other revelationists,
“Do something with your insight.”
If you can’t translate your insight into some sort of action, (opposed to just ranting about it), what use is it? :dubious:
FWIW, I’m of the opinion that the use psychedelics for “enlightenment” is limited to reducing the rigidity of one’s world-view.
They don’t appear to do much in the way of constructing anything new in it’s place.
The trip is neither the goal nor the process.
The fact that one’s mindset can be so pronouncedly changed, (albeit temporarily), is the useful part. How it has changed and what it’s changed to are mostly just interesting footnotes.
The traditional uses of psychotropics involve a great deal of crucial context that’s absent in personal “field experiments.”
Oh, we have a new fucking loon on the SDMB!
And best of all, he’s entertaining! 
It’s not Hiryuu. Hiryuu’s elocution was awe inspiring. He was a master of double-speak. Compared to Hiryuu, Question just mumbles and grunts.
