If I breathe too hard, there is a rattling in my lungs.

So this morning I looked up the symptoms "sore throat" and "cough" together.

Here's the top ten list of things the internet thinks I may have:

acute bronchitis
adenoviridae infection
adenovirus infection (assuming i'm an immnocompromised patient)
adenoviruse
allergies
anthrax
asthma
aureobasidium exposure
bacterial disease
cancer

Oh no...a hypochondriac...
I only see one plausable cause in your poorly done list and that's allergies.
Another one would be the rhinovirus (Cold), but you decided to go straight down the alphabet.

[Dilmah G]

Oh no...a hypochondriac...

Nooo, that's when you think you have one or all of those diseases.

[iamzack]

I didn't notice it was an alphabetical list. That's what I get for being mildly retarded.

But it doesn't matter. With me, it's never just a ****ing cold. Just watch, I'll be posting in this thread from the emergency room any day now. -.-;

Is it? The description states the fear of minor symptoms indicating a major illness.

[iamzack]

I'm not a hypochondriac. I am just a total wuss when it comes to illness.

Ohh, I thought it was a fear of becoming ill and/or thinking you posses different kinds of illnesses. Which is nearly what you said, well.... when in doubt, wikipedia to the rescue

I'm not a hypochondriac. I am just a total wuss when it comes to illness.

So then you do fear minor symptoms!

[iamzack]

I should fear minor symptoms. They always turn out to be mono or skin cancer or a perintonsular abscess or a hemorrhage or something.

[Jeff Vader]

Still no match to Mr Burns, who has every known disease in the world, including juvenile diabetes and false pregnancy. As well as diseases previously unknown to man.

I learned something funny in Epistemology today. Empiricists think that something is only real if you can experience it, and rationalists think that something is real even if no one can experience it.

--Empiricism essentially makes a lot of meta-physics meaningless, including the debate for an existence of God, because God as I've been taught hasn't ever been experienced.

--Rationalists don't need an experience for something to be true; they use logic to deduce that something is real.

Both are mutually exclusive and all encompassing my reading said, so you have to be one of them (even if you don't know it), and you can't be both.  And so given that, I have come to these conclusions about God:

A) He exists. (Rational argument only)
     1) It will always be impossible for human people to know that he exists with any significant amount of certainty. Always. Given Philosophy, this is an unacceptable conclusion (I suppose that doesn't mean incorrect, though).
        -OR-
     2) God exists and there is a logical, deductive way to prove it (that doesn't mean simple or easy, though).

-OR-

B) God doesn't exist. He never has and he never will. (Rational and Empirical argument)

This is why I thought that Trashman and Karajorma were always debating about God, Karajorma being an Empiricist and Trashman being a Rationalist. But I seem to recall Trashman openly denying the validity of logic, which is essential for a rationalist's proofs. So it would seem that it is impossible for Trashman to ever really know that God exists until after he dies. Karajorma, on the other hand, from what I've seen of his method of thinking, knows that God does not exist.

As an interesting side note to the Empiricist view point, most people's religious experiences correspond to intensely depressed activity in the portion of the brain responsible for delineating the barrier between the self and the outside world.

Depressing activity in this area by technological means produces intense religious experiences like those experienced by Buddhist monks or many Christians.

I'm sorry, bt i'm still confused. in relation to iamzack, WHO is WHO, exactly?

[Jeff Vader]

Turambar is Turambar. iamzack is (possibly-eventually-to-be) Mrs. Turambar.

[blowfish]

iamzack is (possibly-eventually-to-be) Mrs. Turambar.

I doubt that, somehow

[NGTM-1R]

I'm watching G Gundam, and shockingly, I kinda like it.

Now if only somebody hadn't left the subs in the dual audio version, because they don't match the English audio. (Which is more detailed then the subtitles.)

[GTSVA]

[Mars]

Turambar is Turambar. iamzack is (possibly-eventually-to-be) Mrs. Turambar.

That's extraordinarially optimistic; it assumes they'll both survive that long

[tinfoil]

he has a disturbingly valid point
