    Can truth be believed,

    Experience is all that can truly be known. (to the experiencer) We each know our first hand experience of things. That being said, the conclusions, or suppositions we draw about our experiences are of our own personal creation. The labels we put on them, the ways we explain them --the things...

    Why I Think That Science Kinda Sucks

    But Edison didn't 'have' the technology of the electric lightbulb. He tinkered relentlessly until he found something that worked. no? He previously had no actual evidence that his vision would work. He believed in his vision enough to do what was crazy enough to prove to himself and everyone...

    The denial of the pecking order is folly

    People imagine they see many things. Yourself included. Your view seems 'normal' to you, because it is your view. Most of the people I know just see a world of people all out trying to make a living, just like themselves. Looking for stability, happiness, sucesses/personal accomplishment...

    Why I Think That Science Kinda Sucks

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't technology in general been the result of invention? For example the light bulb. How many years worth of materials were tried before a working filament was found? This was nothing more really, than ultra VIGILANT trial and error, carried out in 'light' of a...

    The denial of the pecking order is folly

    ummm... no... Mutual Respect... stemming most importantly from love, and genuine appreciation of the other. Besides which it's highly hypocritical to expect one behavior from your children while you hold your own behavior to a lower standard. It's a good way to teach your children how to be...

    You certainly make the case for yourself anyway.

    The denial of the pecking order is folly

    Funny though that the 'least' difficult path today, often turns out to be the most difficult path tomorrow.

    The denial of the pecking order is folly

    I really do find it an interesting querry that people don't work together more to mutually help one another up. Yes, I know our system is set up to keep us divided, but we COULD be smarter than that. I think the insistance on this 'nuclear family model' keeps everyone economically isolated...

    The denial of the pecking order is folly

    Ummmm mostly people ask each other questions about themselves to get to know one another? Some people have ulterior motives, sure. maybe they want to convert everyone to their religion. But THANKFULLY those are the exceptions, and not the rule. When you go through life assuming there's...

    Everything we pay for is leisure

    You could honestly say that you do it in your leisure time, though. You have free time from the work of life's DEMANDS, and you choose to use that ('free') time for martial arts.

    Is the Crucifix blasphemous?

    I really don't see how a thing can be/act as an idol unless it is an ACTUAL substitution for (the functions/purposes of) (your) 'god'. Like applesause is an ACTUAL substitution for ... mmm... butter? or yougurt might substitute for sourcream. (I'm not a cook- but you know what I mean) An...

    Everything we pay for is leisure

    The schools will then make sure your children have only a pittance of leisure time (ie., time for themselves- to do what THEY want) when they're through with them. Then there are all the chores that need to be done while the parent is off working day and night. That's a DAMN LOT of money and...

    Everything we pay for is leisure

    People do not have leisure time vicariously through their children. They either ACTUALLY have leisure time (ie, 'down time', time for themself--time to personally rest and relax-- 'take it easy') or they don't. But you knew this already, I'm sure.

    Everything we pay for is leisure

    As I said.... housing and food for your children. To reiterate, two jobs and no free time, not even for sleep. Yet all of your money is being spent. *how can this be?*

    Everything we pay for is leisure

    There are people who do nothing but work. Two full time jobs, hardly sleep, just to keep the roof over their kids head and food in their stomach. Some people know no leisure whatsoever.
