You were hopeing for the "blind faith in anything you tell me" forum?

I suppose the hypocracy of you, supposedly with the information at your fingertips, being too lasy to make actual reference while calling others "lazy" eludes you?
Of course, it's more likely you simply lack any support and so are putting up a red herring.

I'd call that an "appeal to authority" fallacy, but you don't even manage to have an authority. As to the comment itself, assuming the emperical worldvire is correct, there is plenty of proof; but the proof can only be experienced through subjective perception.

Feel like PMing the info to somebody who hasn't * you off with outrageous claims (yet  )?

this is gonna sound kinda weird. but i used to have really bad hip problems back when i used to study tae kwon do.
my grand master studied qi gong extensively (weird huh... tae kwon do grand master studying chinese healing arts)
but anyways... i told him what was wrong and he looked at me, told me to close my eyes and waved his hand around my chest a few times. he said that i had a lot of tension in my chest area, which was causing my lower body to be off balance... hence the bad hips. he then told me to close my eyes again and waved his hands around pretty quickly (from what i felt) in front of my chest. no touching tho... he put his hand on my wrist once, that's about it...
then he told me to kick... and i swear i'm not lying... the pain was gone. this was pain that was bothering me for MONTHS...
afterwards, he hooked me up with a couple of free accupuncture sessions (that all made me very sore from head to toe) but yeah... the pain went away. permanently.
pretty awesome stuff if you ask me. |

No, more like the "open minded Eastern tradition/phylosophy" forum.

Yeah, I'm lazy. I never said that I wasn't. You know how long it takes for a page to load on dial-up? I tell you what, you answer my questions, I'll answer yours...

I do not lack support, nor do I have any herring. I do have salmon though...

I have never done well with authority. Though there may be plenty of evidence, emperical and otherwise, it does not constitute proof. Unless you want to deny the definition of proof. |

I was going to post, but, uh, Jerry said everything I wanted to.
Psychoassassin, making claims that ki fireballs are real with no tangible evidence at hand doesn't do much for your credibility. The least you could do is tell us where to find it. |

Err, not exactally.
Oxygen is used by cells in our body to convert glucose into ATP. Aerobic respiration produces far more ATP then anareobic respiration. |
