  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

is it possible to make yourself pass out by simply holding your breath? not holding anything over it, but just by your sheer will? overcome those natural reflexes?

 

Oddly enough, a friend and I were recently talking about this.  We came to the following two conclusions. (1)It IS possible to make yourself pass out, (2)It's not possible to kill yourself by holding your breath, because you'll pass out first - becoming unconcious, thereby causing breathing to become a natural reflexive action again.  You'd definitely wake up with one heck of a headache though!

 

Add that to your directory of worthless facts and useless information!
:D
