Re: Iranians want Israel to bomb the Regime

Mate, that sounds like the start of a song...any musicians want to add some lyrics? The Beach Boys beat you to it. Well my version was based on "Row row row your boat (gently down the stream..)" A version from Blackadder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnk1CvASsak “So far I’ve done wrote ...

Re: Feel free to agree or disagree

If you feel free, then why would you want to know if you are "really" free or not? You, Gary Childress, would want to know in order to determine whether or not you are living in a "fool’s paradise". It’s like the joke about the guy who loves the freedom of walking on the beach w...

Re: Iranians want Israel to bomb the Regime

An Iranian explains why Israel shoud attack Iran https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuF8Qg7FmNI&t=1183s Didn't watch the video, but I figure ... - Iran was a modern culture in the old days, and young folks there probably still hear the legends and yearn for that kind of freedom again. - Interestin...

Re: Iranians want Israel to bomb the Regime

Mate, that sounds like the start of a song...any musicians want to add some lyrics? The Beach Boys beat you to it. * You got me to thinkin', though, while in another thread. Could you put a second verse to this, or at least give it bit of thought, perhaps a chorus or a hook? Slow Blues To be … Or n...

Re: Feel free to agree or disagree

Berkeley final say, only God can experience the 'real' primary and secondary qualities; but I assert God is illusory not real Did he say if God can experience the ‘real’ primary and secondary qualities simultaneously, and if so, did he conclude through theory or experience that a human can also exp...

Re: Stunning portrait

It looks like someone who's been exposed to ultraviolet radiation while wearing goggles.

Did Bob Ross ever do any portrait work?

Animation is in the diagonals. The two diagonals in this draw the eye, and they're not by accident. Actually, three. Sash, arms, and gown creases.

Re: Islamic expansionism does not work the way you probably thinks it works

I once read that back when Islam was the cutting edge of culture and science, so to speak, any infidel who didn't toe the line was heavily taxed, so there was a choice there: whether to pay the tax or pay the price for resistance. When the price to pay is disproportionate to the culturally defined ...

Re: Stunning portrait

The artist likely feels that it's pretty good, for a variety of possible reasons, perhaps including an anti-royal intent.

Could also be a case of DEI trumping talent and training because, who defines good?

Re: Feel free to agree or disagree

If you feel free, are you really free? If you feel free, then why would you want to know if you are "really" free or not? Excellent question "gary childress". And what Age's answer to the "excellent", ageless question? (Should the comma be inside the quotes, or outside?)

Re: Feel free to agree or disagree

If you were to put a video and sound recording device in the forest when no one was around and a tree did fall close enough to the recording device, then would you be able to better answer your question here, or at least answer it more efficiently or more effectively? Would there still be sound if ...

Re: TRUMP AHEAD?

Do you want a rational discussion? If so, then I'll oblige. If not, then you'll have to go solo. Gary, setting yourself up as the arbiter of rationality is amusing. Gary, whether formed as question or statement, your go-to input for philosophical discussion consists of: Asking questions of others t...

Were you not looking for a philosophical discussion on the picture as you stated? Sure, initiated by Flannel's explanation of the picture. Pictures require commentary, as suggested by the forum, or least it once was, I haven't bothered to look since I first saw it, since it's a totally rational sug...
