Can you really hurt someone elses feelings?
Suggest you take a listen to this audio file rant, I am interested in other comments.
Can you hurt somebody elses feelings?
I think the basic idea is that we are all responsible for our own (and only our own feelings)
If someone hurts you, say steps on your foot, you feel pain. We live in a cause and effect world, so it is easy to say “That person caused me pain”
Pain as a sensation, generally only lasts for a small specific period of time. It comes in and it goes out. Emotions are really no different. They are like waves on the ocean. Imagine you are sitting on a boat on a windy day, the wave comes in pushes it’s feelings upon you and then rolls out.
Let’s say someone unintentionally says something hurtful, even though it wasn’t meant to be hurtful, your brain may still be sent a message, similar to pain, that causes you to experiance an initial “automatic” re-action.

MyNewBiz: Stock Market Spam
I am sure we’ve all recieved SPAM before right? NO – if not please let me know
In recent years, a “new” type of spam starting hitting my inbox, telling me all these stocks I should just “run out and buy”
Unlike other SPAM, I could never quite figure out why this type of SPAM occured? What was in it for the spammer to send me stock information and suggest I buy it?
Well this article helps to alliveate my ignorance…

One dead, dozens sick from bacteria outbreak
I’m not one to typically post news stories, but the other evening, I happened to notice a TV advert from the President of Maple Leaf foods, apologizing for allowing bacteria to go undetected in some of the meat products, and although they ordered a complete recal when the problem was detected, it was too late, many people have gotten sick and even died.
It is not often that I hear the president of a company admitting to a mistake and apologizing for such a problem.
It is very sad day for those that have purchased this products and have (or will) become ill or have died.
For the complete story../P

A robot with a biological brain
Came accross this article; which I found particularily interesting.
Researchers at the University of Reading (is that where the reading railroad is?) are learning to create
brains in their lab and teach them to control robots! How much more like Frankenstein can you get?
The brains are grown from neurological cells, like you would find in your own brain, and are placed on
a pad that can recieve signals from the cell culture as well as stimulate the cells with small electronic
impulses.
When the brain sends messages to the electrodes, the electrodes drive the robot around in left/right directions,
when the robot approaches an object it sends a a message to the cells, which then in turn learn from
these messages.
Here’s a a video explaining all about it. This seems to have some far reaching ideas about how our brains
actually work./P
