Ok gelfen, so i cheat a little bit, fair dinkum mate! Also, im not sure if corequisite is in the oxford dictionary but thanks for keeping me right.
Glasses..... Either converge or diverge light rays passing through the lens, thereby altering the focal point. If a normal sighted person wears glasses, images fall out of focus because the focal point is now either ahead or behind the retina, instead of focusing on the retina, which is what we want for an image to appear sharp and in focus. However, if we strain hard enough, we can compensate for this distortion. A camera will experience a distorted image also, assuming it doesnt have an auto focusing function. Our eyes are far more sensitive to tiny alterations in focal point; its what gives us such precise depth perception. A camera does experience the distortion, but when the image is reproduced it may not appear obvious.

Because youre human, and the success of our evolution is due to a very strong instinct to socialise. If nobody else went out and got drunk at the weekend, you may not either. Gathering and socialising is an important factor in asserting social hierarchy and improving our chances of finding a mate and reproducing. Alcohol becomes involved, because it suppresses our inhibition, and in an age of heightened peer pressure and social stigma, suppressed inhibition plays a key role in our capacity to interact.

my turn:
what is the meaning of life, oh great one?

There is no meaning, at least not in the sense of mathematical logic and the spacial and temporal dimensionality which we are familiar with. The meaning of life is an argument which simply cannot exist within the confines of our existance; that is, it is impossible to consider without another, common frame of reference. It would be rather like trying to explain a 3rd dimension to a creature which lived within the confines of only 2 dimensions, if that were possible, which of course it is not.

i personally disagree with that, but i'm not gonna argue since i think the meaning of life is what you make of it (or possibly 42, or even to make plastic). there is an ongoing discussion in
this thread if you're interested.
@switch: if you truely believe the meaning of life is unattainable then i think i feel a little sorry for you.

No the point im making is that we can never understand the meaning of or reasons for life and existance. The truly sad thing is that some people dont even think about it, and just plod along with a selfish ignorant attitude.

too true, too true.

i don't believe this is true, but i think the human species is too immature to achieve the required level of understanding (perhaps in another 2000 years or so.....with a lot of luck).
