    i was simply making a comparison on how easy it is to disable a multi-million dollar vehicle, besides you never specified that you were shooting at military vehicles.
    Movies are called fantasy for a reason.
    i do my best to live with the belief that all things are possible.

    So does your belief include acceptance of the possibility that you are systemically wrong in many of your opinions?

    Point taken for the first part as for the second...I think you mean all things are probable ?

    well i suppose you could say probable, but i mean all things are possible in the sense that in a freewill universe such as this one, nothing is impossible.

    that depends on wether or not one believes in opinions and adhere's to dualistic thought concepts such as right and wrong.

    Well, possible within the realm of physics, sure.

    I will take that as a no.

    So, in other words: According to you anything is possible except the possibility that you are wrong.

    all things are not possible.

    not even in the realm of physics...which has a huge chunk taht is strictly theoretical.

    What is a free will universe?

    Is that like where you're a hobo?

    You can make decisions every day I guess, but do you really have choices?
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    and the realm of physics is directly related to our realm of experience.

    what is possible and impossible? transcend the dualism...

    why would you limit your beliefs?
    not even in the realm of physics...which has a huge chunk taht is strictly theoretical.
    how do you come by this assumption? the concept of differential equations comes to mind here...
    What is a free will universe?
    a freewill universe is one where there is no limitation to the manifestation of energy and expressions of it.
    Is that like where you're a hobo?
    it is wise to live simply day by day...
    You can make decisions every day I guess, but do you really have choices?
    it's all part of that dualistic nature of opposites... once you transcend dualism, you realize that everything is progressing according simply to the way of nature... all things have there purpose and everything happens for a reason.

    why do you think i haven't stopped yet? by the way it's big laughing season here in the northeast, gymnopilus spectabilis, found growing on tree stumps, buried roots, and fallen timber, usually paper birch, not to be confused with the jack'o'latern(omphalotus olearnius) which also is bright orange and glows in the dark... that one makes you quite sick for a few days, or so i have heard. big laughing gyms were named so in japan because there ingestion causes foolish behaviour and unmotivated laughter.
