By the way, this new threadjack is an area I'm intensely interested in. I fully expect that within my lifetime I will have the ability to upload my consciousness into an artificial network.

Just be careful that its not a fundimentalist network, you can see from this thread that it ends badly for both christian and muslim fundimentalist networks, the muslims blow themselves up and take the christians with them.


I'd consider a nice Taoist network myself.....as long as its not fundimentalist Tao.

Apparently there's a Loophole. Something to do with virgins.

Wow, Frankie and MrBiggles turn a completely inrevelant thread into a political/religious one. If they aren't trolling in this thread, then I don't know what trolling is.

Fyi, there's actually a reasonable amount of debate amongst Islamic scholars whether that refers to virgins or not. A decent article.

No, but you are almost as painful to read.

How do I get lumped in with FN in trolling in this thread?? I made one 4 word post that dealt with religion among several posts that actually dealt with the subject.

This is a thread about wether or not suicide is prevelant in the animal kingdom, not about muslims, christians, plant food, David Bowie, bowling or tampons. You are the epitomy of a troll.

I thought "Ziggy played Guitar" was a metaphor for Suicide?

When I went to Bohol a couple of weeks ago, a tour guide mentioned that tarsiers don't like being caged and will try to kill themselves by banging their heads against the cage wall or by refusing to eat. Could be anecdotal, though...
