ok, here we go... i have read in the news paper and from ppl on the internet, that depression is just a chemical imbalance in the brain, wich can be treated with medicine and therapy(i guess). it seems logical to me that that this can be applied to every human thought. every emotion i have ever felt or ever will feel is nothing more than a chemical reaction. love, lust, friendship, despair, the list goes on... can anyone argue aginst this logic? its hard not to be cold hearted somtimes. really im not that bad.. its just somthing ive been wanting to discuss. perhaps it is better to just go with the flow and not question topics such as these...  |

hmmmm. interesting indeed. having never been clinicly depressed i don't know much on the subject, but it is interesting to know that a chemical reaction means that you love or hate someone, and how that can be tweaked using medication...
brings a whole new meaning to those colgate chalk test ads...

Its strange to think that our emotions are just chemical reactions. I guess its the same as my good old friend - hormones.
I'm always having to explain to people, "no I dont hate you, no I'm not crazy, its just these damn hormones. Gimme some chocolate"

drugs are just chemicals. maybe they're the chemical the brain makes to make you fell euphoric.
*BRAND NEW - essence of love! - in a needle!*
hmmm, i wonder if you would fallin love with something like a bedpost. hmmmm

im pretty sure its got alot to do with chemical
some of my friends take ecstacy
when they have it they are very loved up and open about their feelings
however the week after, they complain to me about how crap they feel (caused by seritonin depletion).
chocolate is the best drug!

No, i agree with you. But that doesn't change why your body reacts the way it does, it doesn't make feelings any less real. It's just breaking it down to tiny processes. Doesn't change the big picture. |

hmmm.... Its an interesting concept. It would certainly explain why i get over-emotional when i've been drinking. But i find it hard to grasp that you can fall in love with someone just by a chemical reaction... interesting

I saw this movie or read this book once where this person was dying and someone who was there with them, obviously a loved one, was told something by them of great importance...but it was told in the way of the person dying recalling a memory or something. The paramedics put it down to the brain dying and that the recollection of the memory was just a random brain stem or cell or whatever fizzing out at that particualr time. And everyone agreed with this...but it turned out, that it served some greater purpose...it was like a sign or a warning for something that was gonna happen...they didnt really rectify if it was a random memory burning off or if it was an intended action...but it makes you think...are we just a bunch of molecules and chemical reactions or is there something else...I dont believe in a god, and religion etc really harps on me...but seriously...we feel more than that, and sure I guess that could be some kind of physical/ mental flaw playing with us trying to make us feel significant, but even if that is what we are, that isnt what we do. The affect we have on reality, on the world around us and even on eachother...that isnt chemicals or molecular friction...that is real and that is significant. The sun may make the grass grow, but it doesnt create music or art...and if it is being chemically induced that causes these things, then it certainly isnt what makes them come out of nowhere. An idea cant be made in a lab...I guess its that same question, can you get something from nothing...or has there always been something. Nothingness itself is something :S for the sole fact that it is...it is there, it exists...it is nothing. LOL :S Ok, whatever, call me somebody trying to find meaning to existence...I know that we are just like every other creature that exists, but in that, who cant say that they are exactly the same us as...rather than us being exactly the same as them...lol, I better stop before I go on another tangent  what was it I was talking about again :S lol |

Was the movie Signs? At the beginning of that Mel Gibson's wife is stuck between a jeep and a tree, and she's telling him things, and then she says something like "Home run Billy" - or whatever their son's name was. And then later on in the movie Mel remembers that and says it to his son as a code to pick up the prized baseball bat from the wall and whack the shit out of the alien lol.

That movie's not scarry!!!! What about the pantry/chopping off alien's hand scene?  I may be a wuss but I jumped when I first saw that. And I think the little girl is scary as well...Not as in "Ahhh that was so sudden and it startled me! " type of scary, but freaky little girl scary... |

Yes! Yes! yesssss! I jumped at that scene too! Eeeek lol...and the girl...the little water girl *shrugs* I found the whole foil thing a little scary, especially when they tap into what the aliens are saying...oh! and that scene where theyre watching the news and showing these kids looking out a window, then all of a sudden this alien comes out of the bushes!!! ! ! Im crying from fear now just thinking bout it...but then, well it was Mel Gibson, it might just of been him Muwahehehe |

Yeah Signs creeped me out too. But it creeped my brother and his friends out more, and they decided to drive the back way home, which of course is where all the crops and stuff are. They were shitting themselves.

hmm... i dunno i just thought the aliens looked too fake to be scarry! ... i just couldnt take the movie seriously! I don't believe in aliens either which probably had an influence... The only bit that creeped me out was the first time they show you an alien on the news... and thats only bcoz my friend ran up from behind and grabbed my shoulders and yelled in my ear... ....yes i made him pay for that trick! |

it's odd, imagine if it was like, some old vincent price type in a lab, mixing up chemicals - putting them in pills to give to people, like E...or maybe Prozac. it would be, "so THAT'S why you broke up with me!" kinda thing.
meh.
