Re: Where is the philosophy???

Did you actually attempt any real discussion about philosophy? Okay, I'm going out on a limb here and possibly opening myself up to merciless ridicule, but I will be brave and forge head regardless. Here is my philosophical thought for people to ponder: Is there a possibility— or would it be imposs...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

My mum joined one of those knitting and nattering groups a while back too. I'm starting to think she doesn't enjoy the company of old ladies much though, because she ragequit the knitting circle over some sort of argument. Good luck with the tea, cake and world peace thing. Perhaps it works a bit l...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

Well, in midst of all the uncool excitement of intellectual passion that lacks ill intent, if I don’t tell you this now then you won’t know … Did you ever wonder why I got a new carpet? You see, it was quite upsetting. It all started when I was having people around for tea and cake not so long back...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

I flavour my cake with anguish, not lemons, and I butter my crumpet with the tears of a thousand orphans who all got socks for Christmas. But I will take my tea with a little milk and no sugar than you. You are welcome to this tea, as you like it, with a little milk and no sugar. Here it is. Also, ...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

Remember, that what you 'judge' 'decent' or 'indecent' on, exactly, can be very, very different for each and every human being/everyone else. See, some people have been so-called 'raised', and thus have so-called 'grown up', to believe that revenge, or an 'eye for an eye', mentality is not just the...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

Well, I’m glad I invited you all round. Tea and cake anyone? I’m partial to a nice slice of lemon drizzle cake myself, but I can be tempted by a cream frosted carrot cake too. Will anyone join me? Well, only if this question stirs the passions enough for the crumbs to fly. Aah, Walker, how nice of ...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

So true. So sad. I agree. I was beginning to think I was the only one who felt like this. One reason the 'love of argument', and, the 'love of winning' has become so commonplace, in the days when this is being written, is because of the other Wrongly used word 'education'. The word 'education' once...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

Anybody who can actually do philosophy should recognise the irrelevance of wisdom to that activity. Okay, I'd like to hear your views on this. I'm genuinely wondering what your views are on how people do philosophy. What does it entail? NB Please don't call me names. I do not intend to call you nam...

Re: Where is the philosophy???

The term philosophy comes from two Greek words, philos, which means friend or lover, and sophia, which means wisdom. So philosophy is the love of wisdom and, more importantly, the philosopher is the friend or, better, lover of wisdom. This was in the past. Progress has devolved philosophy into the ...

Re: Atheism

I often think that atheists reject the traditional ideas of religion because of all the negativity around it regarding torture, murder, control, and all those other bad things, which of course is how religion is used as a tool by unscrupulous, nonreligious people, to control others and gain power. W...
