Reply to Vanity (I am better than you) in Misc JoeUser Forums

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It sounds a little pessimistic but it is reality and to know one self truly is the first step to becoming a better person. As far as the human species we are what we are, can't say I disagree completely with plastic surgery though.

It can be done but we would have to sort of tone down vanity, pride, identity, self actualization, and many aspects of what makes us human today.

Vanity (I am better than you) in Misc JoeUser Forums

Vanity can be looked at in a dictionary as; excessive pride in one's appearance or accomplishments; conceit. What is this trait which flows through everyone’s veins? We are all guilty of it at least once in our lifetime we are all capable of feeling more important than another person. It’s in advertising and in movies, books, in every person we see daily. That visi

Immortality (How many birthday presents do you want?) in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Everyone, that is a broad term meaning all humanity, we all have one thing in common. Beautiful women, the strongest man, the most intelligent scholar, all have one thing in common. This convergent trait is death. It is the one thing that no one including the fastest human, can escape. What if death was no longer a fear, a certainty, and an eventual embrace of our

You're thinking is reasonable IF you don't take into account America's support for him even though they knew even then that he was committing atrocities. My thinking is reasonable even IF I do take America's suppo

It's crazy but as I see it, religion is easily the most controversial subject on the planet. Humans struggling to define what is right and wrong, how we came to be, and where we will end up. Is it just our biological ability to anticipate death? Or is it our salvation? Yet with it's tension it has caused wars, deaths, and persecutions. Why is such a benign way of life as religion fueled by anger and even

The future will be a better place if we can all come together. That itself is a value statement, but it is one that I think we all can assent to. I have a question and you seem like you would provide an interesting

He has killed at least half a million people, he has had plenty of public executions including torturing thousands of people keeping them afraid and ignorant. Some statistics show Saddam killing 70 to 120 people a day while he was in power. He had to be taken down one way or another.

Let me define exactly what it is I mean. Simply put I think the Iraqi people are much better off without Saddam, Bush might have gone in there under false pretenses (which Is not a point I want to make) but the outcome is still better than the alternative, that is at least for the Iraqi people, which is Saddam as a threat and oppressing his own people. Like I said ignorant people are easily swayed and that is why this whole thing happened. Do you k

No I mean unless there is a cost it won't happen. I don't like the fact that people are dying period but do you have relatives in the military that is actively involved with Iraq?

John Kerry voted for the war and then he later oppposed it after WMD's were not found but when did he "say" Iraq had WMD's? can you give me a credible source I.E. a major news article? I am seriously interested in seeing actual evidence of that.

That's the whole picture. But while I respect your opinion I don't see why you can't relate the killing of the civilians to the civilians' fury against the Americans. It is relative and it is unfortunate but if the

Reply to Should Americans care what Europeans think of candidates? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I totally disagree. In Europe the stereotype of Americans is the exact opposite i.e. that Americans don't know or care what goes on outside the US. We are very aware of American insularity. I think that a lot (not all) of Europeans are trying to emphatically show opposition to the U.S. for this war in

Reply to Should Americans care what Europeans think of candidates? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

What about the support the U.S. provides other countries? Why do Europeans tend to not want to care what we think of your government when I think we provide the rest of the world the with more support than any other country. Let us be honest why should it be a double standard? What makes Europeans better than anyone else? or vise versa?

Reply to Should Americans care what Europeans think of candidates? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I agree with you Brad, it is a one-way street that can be attributed to pride. I want to give you another perspective on it maybe how they think. The U.S. has great influence on the decisions other countries make as well as directly with the selection of goverment of a few countries. That might be why a lot of Europeans feel we should pay attention to what they think of our country. I try to rationalize what could cause that way of thinking. I mu
