lol if your toddler cries it means you are a horrible parent and should not have had kids lol

wtf does meaning mean :confused:

well yeah, that's when the lines get blurry a theist vs. atheist/non-theist division isn't necessarily useful

the defintion used there of atheist, implies that having no belief makes you an atheist "strong atheist" tends to be used as a description for someone who denies the exist of a deity

well, from a logical point of view at least: either you have belief in a diety, or you do not have belief in a deity (I think an atheist is defined as being a person who is not a theist? note: this is a very broad definition. more narrow ones tend to be used)

so.. we only consider ethics in situations like abortion and capital punishment? yeah, maybe (I hope) the terminology is the problem here *I see ethics as being questions like "how ought we behave?", "what is the good life to have?"

:confused: I'm not too sure what you mean by that, "we don't need it - it's already there" How do we know how we should act? We use reason/whatever to develop an ethical framework within which to act. What we see as the best cause of action is not necessarily the right one, so, with new...

well, ok then. everything we do is a result of our evolution then, it doesn't really matter. so now that we've evolved reason, we can use it to decide how best to act, within an ethical framework

just because we've evolved a certain way of looking at things, and doing things, does not mean that it is "good" to behave this way :confused::confused: there is some correlation, yeah, but I think we need to look at the consequences of our actions on the larger scale, even if we have to go...

yes, evolution explains quite well why we have the moral beliefs, and behaviour we do, but does it tell us how we should behave? this is where we need an ethical framework, to base our actions on happiness (i.e. any positive emotion/feeling/state of mind/etc.) is, i beleive, the thing which...

utilitarianism I suppose

Re: Possible to do 4unit maths (ex1 +ex2) without tutoring and still getting a great tutoring is absolutely necessary, you will fail without it (note: tutoring is not necessary at all lol)

\int_{0}^{\pi }\frac{1}{2+cosx}dx\\ let\ u=2\pi -x\\ \int_{2\pi}^{\pi}\frac{1}{2+cos(2\pi -u}-du\\ =\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}\frac{1}{2+cosu}du\\ =\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}\frac{1}{2+cosx}dx\\ just integrate from 0 to pi and double it (should give the same answer as trebla's)

tan pi -> infinity :O what values of x is inverse tan defined for?

how about teach this stuff in high school so you will already know it for uni?

everyone who has ever committed an act of bullying should be imprisoned, imo

lol 2 threads for this? 3unitz: i originally interpreted it how you did, but the question is trying to say that the particle is at the edge of the disc, such that the triangle MNP is in the horizontal plane, with gravitational force not needing to be considered (this gives the answers provided)

just sum the forces perpendicular/parallel to the particle's motion to mw^2 r/0. use a right angled triangle in the horizontal plane, with shorter sides NP and MP show your working so far if you still can't get it to see where you went wrong

wow but i presume that the euthanasia of someone already convicted would be a much cheaper process

how can us good people be happy if the bad people aren't suffering ??
