I would like to think so.

What is a mind?

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

We have 5 pointers so it goes without saying they only mind when they want to but I don't mind and many are of the same mind.

Geez Jon, stop the foolish questions. Enough is enough. Find something else to do instead of populating this site with stupid questions and posts.

Very interesting book entitled "The Mind Club: Who Thinks, What Feels, and Why It Matters" from dogs to gods, the science of understanding mysterious minds—including your own, by Wegner and Gray. Gives good scientific insight into what is "mind" ;-) And, this is the Off Topic forum... no need to jump on someone for posting this topic.
