I have no idea how you could assign probability to such a thing.

Some of Ghandi's closest supporters were atheists, a lot of marxist/atheists were also influential in the indian independence movement. Ghandi was a bit of a nutter in some ways, but I'd argue he was an overall positive influence... He was very much a product of his time/place. i.e...

also likely an atheist.

because it tastes good NIGGER.

It is not really possible for anything to be 'truly' altruistic by that definition imho, unless you mean that to be altruistic is to 'feel' although you are doing something selflessly, while your feelings of such selfishness and indeed your feeling of self-determination is really a by-product of...

It is the survival of the species which determines which species survive, i.e. Some individuals in the species may be worse off by some genetic trait, such as self sacrifice to save others, yet the species as a whole will be more likely to survive and thus that gene will be more likely to...

Dare I note that the obesity epidemic in Australia is largely related to children? You can say once they're adults they have responsibility for themselves sure... but if you're starting off as an obese teenager then it's a fairly tough thing to cut down your calories and begin excercising.

Yeah I agree, I think cuts should be made to sport. But I bet they'd all have a cry.

Yeah they do. It's pretty funny tbh that they're cutting from health... but I'd like to know where you want to see the cuts instead, like specific big budget items.

I'd say education is more important than health, obviously this is said while neither I or anyone I know is sick... but I doubt we'd have anything of a health system without our education system there to provide for it.

Remember it's competition/survival of the species not the individual.... Altruism as you can imagine often does lead to a greater chance of survival for the species.

Well yeah man we do have to get our budget into order... The question is where you make this up. You either raise taxes (which is a terrible idea given the state of the nsw economy esp. in these times) or you sell things off / make budget cuts.

ummm i'm sure a bunch of miracles which seem to point to a god and are unexplainable by our current knowledge would be enough personally. But I can't think of a way in which something like a God could be logically proven... I suppose only a God himself would know the answer to that.

lol srsly we spend money on ads to get people to become nurses and scholarships etc and then we fire the ones we already have. LOLZ

all state governments should be dissolved.

Q: Would you rather raised taxes? Or where from the budget would you cut? Also, I'll vote greens senate and idk who yet for house of reps.

To imagine that everyone are free agents, completely un-phased by the world around them might lead you to this view. I would ask you though why you then think that so much money is spent by fast food outlets (or really just any company) on advertising? I believe it is because it influences...

I don't think surveys etc could do that... but one point I would make would be that McDonalds etc pursue a domineering advertising strategy, they surely think it's working else why spend the millions of dollars on it?
