here is some food for thought..

[conekiller01]

there is no such thing as a CORRECT answer.....we have laws(newton crap) we have constants(math crap) and hypothesis(guesses?) but for something to be absoluetly true it would have to be true in every single case that has ever existed and since no one has ever been around for all of existence and not seen every event or happening how can we possibly know that gravity always pulls down? how do we know that every circle follows pie? these things CAN NOT be proven for all cases only stressed to someones opinion and yes they will work for us every time and will seem true but how can this be known?.....



just IMHO...lmao dont ever answer anything in class,,,,,they are just gonna keep making answer answer and answer some more....their are no such thing as definte answers!!!!! youl will learn this or be cottonmouth and hoarse by the end of you first week! lol GL!

my next course is philosophy...
im pretty excited about it. i thought you all (intelligent people excluding lambchop) would appreciate some questions that are asked everyday but are not really thought about enough!
critical thinkers check-in!
• To what extent do we have a moral obligation to people we don’t know? For
that matter, to what extent do we have a moral obligation to nonhuman living
things? How about the environment: do we have a moral obligation to it?
• What are the ethically legitimate functions and scope of government? What
form of government is best? What is the proper connection between religion
and the state? Questions like these separate Democrats from Republicans,
conservatives from liberals, communists from capitalists, and theocrats from
democrats.
• Do people have natural rights? If so, how do we know that? Where do they
come from? What makes one person’s list of rights superior to another
person’s?
• Is there a God? Perhaps just as important, Does it make any difference
whether there is or isn’t a God?
• Do ends justify means?
• What, if anything, is the self? Is a person more than a physical body? Do
people really have free will?
• What is truth? Beauty? Art?
• Is it possible to know anything with absolute certainty?
• Does the universe have a purpose? Does life? Is there order in the cosmos
independent of what the mind puts there?
• What is time?
• Could anything have happened before the Big Bang?

i dont understand a damm thing.im a high school dropout with a diploma lol

Philosophy is retarded. Philosophers teach others how to contradict them and each other and dont do anything for progress.

I'll answer them later. Too tired

Really?! Every time you come to this site you further try to achieve defeating these forces that you claim have not existed since the creation of this world. Contradiction.

In the old days, Philosophy was the explanation for lapse in memory (and judgement) for the time period of insobriety. It was an excuse to wear flip flops, bell bottoms, and be proud to inhale instead of sweating Fortran and Linear systems. Don't get me wrong either, I really liked the excuses, so I will walk down memory lane for a few fleeting moments before I return to my other less practical quests like 101 ways to destroy a good set of tires.

No comment. Too much to read and not worth it

Philo is rally fun. It gets you thinking. It didn't change MY way of thinking at all. When we started the class, we had to write our basic philo of life, as well as when it ended. Mine was identical.

I have this gut feeling that you are quite stubborn and not open to change( I was too at your age). There is nothing at all wrong with being strong-willed and set in your ways. However, when I was about 22 I realized that being more open to change and not being as stubborn made me a happier person in general. I always thought I was happy before and would argue with a brick wall about it, but now I can truly say I am a happy person. I feel a love for everyone regardless of anything. Also, not saying you are unhappy, just bringing in some more philosophy.

I really, really, really like to argue. I don't mind what side I'm on. And you're partially right. I'm very stubborn and set in my ways, but will at least hear the side of the other before I reject it.
