What should we GET?
Can you explain yourself in a way that is comprehensible?
Or answer any questions I bothered to ask you for clarification?
HELP US "GET IT"
What a silly notion. Do you have any reason to think so?
Oh, so we should starve. Great plan.
What on EARTH does that mean?
Please show me a paradox, I don't see one.
If able to say yes to yourself .... you are in control. Why think saying yes is out of some control?
we can embrace life enjoy it and BE IN TOTAL CONTROL.
If you ASPIRE to be the least of servants.. what a LOW aspiration.
That's the problem with slave mentality. But you CAN choose to aspire...
Saying NO takes no imagination.
What really COUNTS in life is what we say YES to.
Self-denial is easy and accomplishes NOTHING.
Self-creation is difficult and accomplishes great things.
What do I aspire to?
Certainly NOT to deny the world, but to embrace it.
Some people live for death.
I...
Yes, and the sky is the sky and eggs are eggs.
Things are generally what they are. In the REAL world where the REAL people live, in any case.
Maybe not in OZ.
You seem to believe in things. How.. nice.
Of course I am.
It's shocking in the sense that it's so utterly negative, damaging, and illogical.
However,
I'm not shocked by your poor attitude because your kind of negative views about humanity are so COMMON.
All too many people think poorly...
SERIOUSLY?
I never said anything about liking you or disliking you.
SERIOUSLY.. let's not get personal , NOR make personal attacks.
My POINT was that "The Lord of the Flies" is a horrible distopic view of childhood.
Most kids I KNOW are perfectly loving, caring, kind, generous, happy kids.
I...
I didn't ask you about the bad kids.. I asked you about any NICE ones?
Heard of such a thing as a NICE group of kids?
Maybe you haven't.
Too bad.
SERIOUSLY it is written?
WELL then.. whatever is WRITTEN just HAS to be true.
Seriously, in the real world, and not in any fantasy land, I can't...
And it's a work of fiction.
Are you saying that most kids left alone would sink into depraved behavior, as depicted in the book?
For every case of a gang, there is a case of a group of childhood friends who loved one another and NEVER hurt one another.
You might not have heard of children...
The parables are usually that. Very little "wisdom" involved.
You can poll most Kindergarden kids for the kind of simplistic morality found in the Bible.
IN FACT.. most kids that age are NOT as astonishingly barbaric, so you would find a WAY better morality in most Kindergarden classes.
Be...
BIgfoot is a word.
It's also a claim.
It's also a myth.
It's also the missing link.
It's also a hoax.
It's a lot of things.
Let's say one day, they discover Bigfoot.
it may be a guy in a gorilla suit.
It may be an evolutionary discovery of the century.
It may be me. I am that hairy.
It may...
HOW did I say the wrong thing?
I'm very wiling to concede a piece of pedantry.
YOU SAID that Bigfoot wasn't a belief.
I said that the BELIEF in Bigfoot was a belief.
I said that BIGFOOT was a claim.
Depending on the pedantic use of the word "was" or "is" .. it is a claim and it isn't a claim...
The claim that Bigfoot is real is a claim.
You can speak of Bigfoot as only a myth if you like. That would be making a claim.
The idea that Bigfoot EXISTS is a claim.
The idea the guy doesn't is also a claim.
The WORD "Bigfoot" is a concept and not a claim, so maybe THAT'S what your pedantry...
Oh.. your logic is so flawed as to be laughable.
You based your argument on your opinion that 15 people lied.
You offer NO justification for that assertion, NO reasoning, NO data, no proof, no evidence, NOTHING.
So, right there.. your argument fails. Your logic fails, your THINKING FAILS.
WHY...
Well of course not. Many people really do believe.
What they BELIEVE in might not be real.. but they still believe it.
And for the record, I don't think you CAN read the minds of every believer and know better than they what they believe or not.
I take them pretty much on their word.
I used...
Whereas our internal response to such thing we call beautiful is subjective, reality itself isn't internal nor subjective.
Truth doesn't matter to you.
We got that.
We can't take anything you say as true.
TO SOME people, however, the truth DOES matter.
You make yourself completely irrelevant...
