duendy, don't be so radical. You are making here the slippery slope critical thinking fallacy.
That is the same as to say that all those shot by a weapon are going to die because the a weapon can be a grenade launcher.
But if you inject someone with enough narcosis chemicals, they won't feel any pain.
And there is also that genetic illness suffering from which people don't feel any physical pain at all, very dangerous, because those people lack the warning system that something is physically wrong.

I understand that there are chemical reactions occurring, but describing them and then calling that description a philosophical statement is empty.draqon said:
Also, you don't know what I know and don't know. Don't get confused by me calling your description meaningless. You can say everything breaks down to chemical processes and that is the only meaning in life - that is a valid possibility - but once you do that you have no right to make any further philosophical comment.
if i were you . i'd hunt down your critical-finkin teach and shoot HIm dead. cause he's made yer into a prize foolAvatar said:
also. oncew saw this docu. twas about a narcotic addict. he tries everything to get off the drug
eventually he goes to thisSpanish clinic which is a quick detox. we see him do it, ad then qe see him break down big style. qwhy
cause qll the psychological pain he'd tried to NUMB over 20 years was STILL there!....and now he was experiencing all tat suppressed emotion
you and the dragon one is chemical-heads. as you think, so yo are. Nature will just be chemicals fo ya. your your own worst enimies. me and Cole are here to trylift you out of your ignore-ance. but i aint holdin my breath. you are so suuuuure of yur shit
now THA hurts to watch
ouch!
I see emotion here...hatred?...calm urself...accept the truth...I obviously dont see this life as a set of complex chemical reactions only, I create illusions of devine in this world to give myself a purpose, to prove to myself that I am more then just a machine that is programmed to interact in certain pattern. The choices I make define me, the choices I make in this complex life.

Where do you people come up with this stuff? Seriously, you must be a solid block of wood, both in the body and the head to believe what you wrote.
It is trivial to prove what you ask. If emotions are chemical reactions, why is it that you feel the emotions of others? If you are around a sad person, you feel sad, correct? Why?
Their sadness energy is crossing over to you and making you sad. Or you pick up on the sadness energy they are emanating.
You both need to provide proof. Firstly, the burden of proof was on Dragon to support the claim that all "emotion is chemical", and now the burden of proof is on you Happeh to proove that "Their sadness energy is crossing over to you and making you sad". Seriously, what is "sadness energy" anyway.Happeh said:

Sad energy. Energy that is sad in nature. I cannot think of any other way to say it more clearly.
There is happy, sad, angry, and a couple of other emotional energies I cannot think of right at the moment.
I really don't understand you guys. You make no sense to me. To me, it seems like you overlook the most obvious things.
What we are talking about is subjective. There is no way I can prove there is such a thing as sad energy or that it crosses over to people. (OK. I admit I lied. But pretend I am telling the truth)
You have to prove it to yourself. You have to go find a sad person. Stand there. Are you feeling sad? If so, why? The only explanation is that the other person's sadness jumped over to you. Maybe it flew, maybe it crawled. Whatever form of locomotion was used, the sad energy has traveled from the sad person over to you so that you now feel sad.
You don't need me to prove anything.
