I'd love to talk about tennis -- but golf is my life (except for Nancy, of course).
Let me mention this about golf:
Last week -- a young girl from Hawaii, Michelle Wei, was invited to play in a Men's PGA tournement.
Michelle is 14 years old.
Not only did Michelle play in the tournement -- she managed to shoot a better score than 47 of the world's best golfers -- and did so with an aplomb that absolutely astounded just about everyone who knows anything about golf.
It was the single most impressive sports happening that I have ever personally witnessed -- and from what I have been reading, there are lots of sports figures and sports writers who feel that same way. So my assessment cannot be chalked up to my occasional penchant for hyperbole.
To give some comparison -- in order for Tiger Woods to have done something comparable, he would have had to play golf while in grammar school against the gods.
Michelle is pretty as a picture; has a figure to die for -- and has poise and grace beyond comprehension.
As you might imagine -- I am much taken with her.
I'm not sure if you caught the event -- or if any of you others did -- but if you missed it, and if you hear of her playing again in the future, be sure to look in.
It will be pleasurable -- even if you hate golf.
I hope that answers your question, David.
Well, that just proves my inferiority. I can't understand a damn word that he said.
MR, I wasn't ready to admit that, but understand what you're saying.. LOL
Sorry Twyvel....but your mind has left the building.
Give me one quality/characteristic of non-existence?
If you can't, you have
nothing....nothing isn't knowledge of anything{except in a relational sense to something, and then only as a linked concept}.

"Golf is not a sport"...JP McEnroe...circa 1980 something.....LOL.

Assuming you are talking about Twyvel's last post, I think that is something you share in common with him! :wink:

Yeah...he claims it is just a game.
But what the hell does John McEnroe know! :wink:
And if you shoot an arrow at a target -- it cannot reach the target, because in order to do so, it must first traverse one-half the distance to the target -- and then traverse one-half the distance remaining -- then one-half the distance remaining -- ad nauseum.
But the arrow gets there.
And whether some people want to suppose that because there is thinking going on...and because the thinking is perceiving...that means...
...whatever the hell some would have us suppose it means...
...really does not matter.
What matters is REALITY.
Whatever the REALITY of the situation in which we find ourselves is -- IS.
It may be the conclusion these people want to suppose it is -- it may be the conclusion Christians have developed -- and it may be something so distant from both that we cannot even imagine it presently.
But that is a very difficult concept for some to perceive -- whether they are actually "there" or not.
Exactly the kind of argument a good Christian would use to insist on his/her guesswork. :wink:
That 'awareness' cannot be observed is not a guess.
Even when electrodes are connected to the brain?
Most of you seem to agree with the Wallace Stevens quote, "Reality is things as they are." I, however, completely disagree because things are never the same.
A schizophrenic might see the world in a completely different way than anybody else would. In fact, we don't even know whether anyone perceives the world in the same way. Therefore, reality cannot be proven by what you see.
Not only that, but, scientists regularly find that any rule they make always has at least one exception. To every absolute, there is always an exception. Which makes reality ever-changing and inabsolute, it is never the same thing for any period of time which really makes me doubt whether it actually exists or not.
By the way, sorry if I repeated anything that someone has already stated. I don't have the time to read the entire thread.
Whether or not people see things the same way has nothing to do with whether they are that way or not. The fact that we all see things similarly suggests that they are the same outside of perception.
