Reply to The More I Learn, The More I Realize I Know Nothing... in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

start reading... start out with easy stuff and then work your way up... sure you're not going to memorize everything, but you'll retain more than you might think... there are suggested readings all over this website by various people. if you want to know more about Socrates, read... wanna know more about anatomy? surf the web. don't think you'll remember the number of bones? add the page to your list of favorites and refer back to it unt

if the shoe fits, wear it. Then decide if it's comfortable or not. if it ain't comfy, get a new pair. if it is comfy, wear it proudly. I'm sure that your fiance' will say that the shoes go well with the outfit in question...

well Trin, I appreciate your kind words... In Church on Sunday afternoon I could actually feel the Holy Spirit moving inside me, so if you found comfort in what I wrote, that's prob'ly who was responsible for it.

Trin - you seem to be hung up on this whole gender thing... you've brought it up in more once in your replies... Mug - I'm hoping that by replying to this, it's not gonna cause Trin to question my sexual orientation... Glad to hear that you had a good birthday. I'm really glad that you were able to remain positive despite the bickering I hope you have a hundre

i don't think deciding whether to pay for coffee or not is one of 'em... something else that we haven't even considered are "flexible morals"... there are some who put a price tag on things like this... a .50 cent cup of coffee would cause them to lose no sleep at all, but it's not like they're trying to walk out of Wal-Mart with a new grill that they didn't pay for.

since we're bringing the likes of Kant into this, let's talk about the British Empiricts and Associationists, David Hume, David Hartley, and John Stuart Mill who believed much like Aristotle that man is a "Tabula Rasa" (a blank slate)... it's the nature vs. nurture debate's early beginnings... if man is a blank slate at birth, anything can be written in. this means that his environment and his culture will have the greatest impact on who he

Reply to What's the skinny with anorexic-looking chicks? in Diet JoeUser Forums

i don't like 'em super-skinny like Flockhart or Flynn Boyle... they're just disgusting... But i don't want 'em fat either. I'm a butt and leg man myself. The size of her breasts don't matter much to me, as long as she has a nice butt. the way i figure it is, if i'm gonna stay in shape, then she needs to stay in shape, but there's nothing wrong with a woman having curves. Like so many other men, my concern is that she's gonna 'let herself go' after

Reply to Music Review: Kid Rock "Cold And Empty" in Music JoeUser Forums

Dusk, i couldn't agree with you more. I like to think I'm an ok writer, but I don't do music or book reviews. You, however did a fantastic job. I heard the song in question for the first time the other day, and the first thing I thought of was how lame it is for him to be doing another silly ballad about life on the road. I loved the first one, two is pushing it. don't get me wrong, I still like Kid Rock. 'Picture' was a good song. Som

i disagree. the aspects you mention are irrelevant. and while a specific action may depend on the context, the underlying principle does not. while these things you mention certainly will influence a given individual in a given situation, they are extraneous in terms of ethical principles and determining a universal morality you are the new King of Ambiguity. that was a good way to completely avoid everything i wrote... have

well vampire princess, you asked "what's a girl to do?" so it sounds like you're asking for input. i'll give ya my point zero two if you're worried that it's just the chase, and you'll lose interest afterwards, then the best thing you can do is get to know him really well before you do anything sexual with him... if you get to know him really well, and then find out you're no longer sexually attracted to him, then you just don't do him, and l

I'm going to take a stab in the dark here, because i don't know if i'm on the same sheet of music that you are. If I am, this is the way i see it. You have a 'gauge' in mind by which you rate the fascination level of the people around you. (not necessarily a conscious one) You may or may not use the same 'gauge' to rate yourself. Either way, it sounds like you're judging your own 'fascination' level by comparing yourself to thes

how much college do you have under your belt 'eight gates'? i don't mean to sound condescending, and i don't know if you're just trying to promote healthy discussion, but your question is incredibly ambiguous. in order to answer it completely, we have to consider the following, just for starters: social norms cultural influences religious views environmental influences 'standards' of conduct where Mr. A an

congrats on taking everything that i wrote out of context and twisting it around... way to go! if reading things into what i said was your goal, then you did a fine job! as for the Jews still awaiting the Messiah, you are correct. But if you get yourself familiarized with Revelation, you'll notice that it's all gonna work out in the end.
