JFK was 1.83 m in height, and was, as far as I know, in relatively good shape. Hitler, on the other hand was 1.75 m, and was probably not in as good shape, at least from examining images of his less that appealing body type. The egg man.
On another note, I'm inclined to think Hitler would fight dirty.... But still, judging by body types alone, I'm gonna say that JFK would kick Hitlers stout little butt.

It's hard for me to not feel like a moron, like I'm the most unintelligent one in the room. I barely understand the things I say most of the time, I have trouble thinking things over intently and I like to spend hours doing nothing. Just laying down and not thinking of a single thing.
It's the worst when people start talking about complex stuff like politics or philosophy. My brain shuts down and I can't think of anything, I can only mumble basic stuff ("Oh, interesting") while not giving any opinions of my own, because more often than not I don't have any. It's impossible for me to wrap my head around those topics without getting a headache and losing my train of thought every few seconds.
Ha I'd consider almost none of these posts a "random thought". By internet standards a random thought is usually a somewhat facetious pseudo-logical conclusion that might seem culturally relevant, but is also removed from how you'd think about things in everyday experience, hence the 'random' aspect.
This is not a particularly good one but whatever:
If we all go to either heaven or hell for eternity, does that mean we're all immortal?

Buddy, this is the Minecraft Forum. Nothing in here is remotely similar to the rest of the vast space that is the internet.

Unless you believe in reincarnation, in which case yes. But, can you consider reincarnation a form of immortality? Or better yet, what considers even as the limit to reincarnation; what determines as reincarnation?
BETTER YET: To an extent, aren't we reincarnated every day?

I don't think reincarnation can be considered immortality, at least not in the sense that your spirit will be reborn into another or same species of physical life once you die. I say this for the simple reason that if life on earth dies, and it will eventually, as all life on all planets will, eventually, then it's only a matter of time before there will be no form of life to reincarnate as. Therefore reincarnation of itself cannot not be considered everlasting, thus not binding to immortality.
However, regardless of whether there is reincarnation, this still leaves the aspect of the spirit/soul that may or may not live on after our physical life is over, which brings us back to the previous question that Alrien asked: If the spirit does live on forever once departed from the physical host, does that make us immortal?
BETTER YET: To an extent, aren't we reincarnated every day?
And I would have to say no to this, imo. Reincarnation requires the spirit/soul to establish entry to a host in order RE-incarnate, and therefore saying that we are reincarnated daily would suggest that the spirit/soul exits then re-enters our physical bodies on a daily basis.
Unless... there's a lot more to having a peaceful nights sleep than I thought there was?

Here's a random thought:
What if our entire life is a dream and when we die we wake up and live a whole new life? What if this goes on and on infinitely, making us immortal?
Or how about seeing your life flash before your eyes! You reach that point and relive your entire life before you die, those couple seconds feeling to you the same as an entire lifetime, and then when you reach the point of your death in that, you see your life flash before your eyes AGAIN and the in that reliving you see your life flash before your eyes and so on and so forth ad infinitum. In this way, you could relive your life infinitely, making you immortal.

Who's to say that reincarnation can solely the soul/spirit reentering the body? In Buddhism, reincarnation is defined as rebirth under the influence of Karma. Is our soul what determines how we are alive? If that's the case, can't the smallest, living thing like cells, have souls as well? Which brings me to my next point about how we can be reincarnated every day. If every cell in our body dies and replicates, which is the natural process of growth, so technically, to an extent, reincarnation is as common as one would think.

So, in a way, is our life nothing but a loophole of events we've already experienced?
And, could the same be applied to the universe and everything in existence?

OK so let's say Karma, even though you don't have to believe in Buddhism to believe in reincarnation, is the "reason" for reincarnation. Like you said, that only means Karma has its "influence" on that part of a person which transfers from one host to another in the process of reincarnation. But what would you say the actual "thing" is that Karma causes to transfers from one host to another?
If not spirit or soul, then maybe Consciousness? But then... many would say that consciousness is considered the soul of a person? So, another question might be...
If that's the case, can't the smallest, living thing like cells, have souls as well?
...Can something without a physical brain, such as a single cell for example, be inhabited by consciousness?
Which, in some peculiar way, brings me to another thought: When you're walking through the woods, are the trees and shrubs aware of you?
Just for the record, I personally don't believe in reincarnation, at least not in the religious depiction. But it's a little fun to philosophize about random/not-so-random stuff.
Am I a clone?
Can clones even be considered human? Or living?
Can humans live without judgement on status quality, race, gender, or religious views?
On this thread, you either get philosophical, rhetorical questions that actually get you to ponder about life and existence
or posts like this.
