logically, I should have to agree with you, (you don't have to do drugs, to understand that their bad), even though I don't agree with you. Because sex is not bad. It is a way of reproduction. And if it's also fun, and good, and good, in the process - why not.

I don't see how the act of reproduction to carry on species is dumb, especially from a scientific stance, quite an incredibly amazing feat in and of itself.

Also, we're obviously not as "dumb as the rest of the animals" as you put it because quite simply looking around this room I can see hundreds of arguments against that statement.

Humanity and society evolved from a level of comprehension that is above the animals, I can look into a mirror and understand that I see my (****ing gorgeous;) ) reflection. But I can also comprehend WHY I see my reflection. I don't think you'll find many (if any) animals that could do that.

Well, drugs are also fun; actually much more fun, since they (or certain ones) give you a kind of happiness that you will never experience otherwise. :D Reproduction is fine, if it is restricted to that (although even that is no excuse in this day and age; there are "artificial" fertilization methods available), but that is of course not true in today's culture.

People always give the good old reproduction argument for lack of anything better; you well know that the reproduction is not at all what we are talking about here, but rather sex as a part of the culture. (and otherwise, why the heck is everyone talking about "protected" and unprotected" sex? :p)

Well then, suppose that from tomorrow everyone started smashing their heads against the walls exactly 38 times every day, without fail. How would the practical intelligence of the people compare before they did this to after? :D

Beer... I don't have a real opinion on beer, because most of it that I've had was mixed with other stuff, reason unknown.

Vodka... that me likes. Absolut owns. Also, our government owns the company that makes it, which is kind of weird, cause there's monopoly on selling the booze here, just to reduce alcoholism (which is obviously not working).


Beer is more of an aquired taste, but you tend to get used to it over time.

Vodka is nice, good thing about it is that cheap is as good as expensive at the end of the day.

Absinthe is where it's at though.

He doesn't understand the "true" concept of 69. This appeared in a thread a while back.

Beer = good (esp. Kronenberg & Stella IMO)
Jack Daniels = very good (first thing I got pissed on, incidentally).
Wierd blue cocktail thing I had last time i was out - very, very good (but alcohlic as hell)

I have, though, pretty much stopped drinking (last was pissed watching the Monaco-Gers game 2 years ago, last pint was about 6-8 months ago.)  Too many empty calories. (not to mention some truly epic hangovers.... I've never been a big drinker, so I never develop an,er, immunity)

nb:  Good hangover cure - Irn-Bru and wheat Crunchies.

I probably will in that case because the experential bias will kick in very heavily, but then my opinion has little meaning anymore so it is all useless. :p

eh...that 69 again? What is so special about this number anyway? :p It has no number theoretic properties I can think of and it does not appear anywhere in special function analysis either. For example, 65 is indeed a special number because it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two squares in two distinct ways and g is also special because it appears all over the place in limits, integrals and a bunch of other things, but 69 has really nothing going for it as far as I can tell.

Alright, tell me what great mathematical properties 69 has; I bet I can give you numbers that are ten times neater... :p :D

The universe is mathematical, so I certainly think of other things but I cannot stop thinking about the math alongside them. :D

Seriously though, 69=dumb number with no cool properties. Or compared to such awesome stuff like khinchin's constant anyway... ;7
