Because It is, indeed, a neat thing to share thoughts with each others about everything...

So This topic is going to be about everything and only about everything...

Yeah you can put on some crazy stuff if you are feeling like that way, but so that nobody will get offended...

Let the thoughts flow in! and lets try to found reason for everything!

So what you think about this topic, about your life and about everything...?

If you don't find anything major, instead of try something minor and see how It will develop...

b00m! People go and think!

EDIT:

Due to some recent happenings on this topic... It made me to create first rules :eek:

RULES:

1. Please don't diss the philosophy
2. If you don't like it, leave it!
3. If you like it, you post on it!

Fair enough ? But why you are so fueled my friend... :P

I'm only one part of this topic... and I'm bringing up my opinions ?

and because people are thinking I'm strong personality then I think I'm winning something >_>

oh, so in other words rather than actually contributing anything based on your personal opinion you're going to offer opinions that you don't fully believe in order to stir up pointless discussion?

Cuth, could you please define the term "convoluted argument"?


Sure.

If you were to look up convoluted up in the Oxford Dictionary it would read:- (of an argument or story) very complex. 2. folded or twisted in a complex way.

Argument:- a heated exchange of conflicting views. 2. a set of reasons in support of something.

By “convoluted argument” I mean the unnecessary use of ambiguous words to try and compound upon the reader that the argument put for by yourself is indeed the correct one, and thus by using such wording is a brief attempt to confuse the reader and disguise ones argument in a veil of literary mastery, instead of being able to convey ones argument in ‘lay-mans’ terms.

In all honesty I don’t care much for philosophy, it’s very unfocused methodology and circular arguments I find no need for.

Lay-mans term:- To airy – fairy. I only deal in fact.

Peace and love folks :)

you 'grounded your argument' which means you used logic. and yes it didnt work thus your point about logic not working is right :P
well... atleast in your case.
and if this sounds illogical to you... that means illogic things dont work either :P

Maher,
I define 42 and any other natural number by set theory. Furthermore I congratulate on your clarity:

If we could ever acquire information about before the big bang, it would be scrambled beyond recognition.

Quote:

A God of the gaps eh? I know many a theist that would be irate at being so misrepresented

Janitor,
Quote:

Physics can be applied to any empirical thing. Its highly probable that only physical things exist. Unfortunately it cannot be applied to metaphysical or immaterial, like our beloved flying spaghetti monster – hence I have witnessed many long discussions with CU members who just don’t comprehend the concept of circularity or external justification.

Gotta love those language games <3

Lets just move along, because this debate of mine and Qin isn't leading to anywhere...

and haha!

Zantus is right :D

Also SaZ... I did ground my argument why logic doesn't work perfectly... Human's logic always fails one way or another :)

I'm not saying, I'm the wise... I'm more like making people to think again :P

So people! Ethics is good subject to move along...

when you are out of arguments youll just throw a simmilar phrase to those to escape further discussion.

my 2 evil cents.

eh... God is just a definition or a value for something, when physics don't explain everything :(

I'm atheist, did you know ?

and I don't believe in logic, because discussing and working with people... It asks more creativy than logic :)

Because humans are creative beings... I need to treat them like that way... 6 Billion different kind of People and my creativy is only over 9000! :D

Don't you worry, Imperialists. Revolutionary cells are stocking up on the latest weaponry and ammunition that you, my dear Capitalists, have sold them, for which i thank you sincerely. I'm sure that, once we decide to hang you, you'll sell us the ropes as well.


We sell you outdated weaponry! You will have to reverse engineer the good stuff like the spy planes we accidentally crashed near your nuclear facilities. Also, you will need the rope to tether the long lines that are common place in communist states!

Firstly, that was a pointless comment.

secondly no, i haven't said anything is a fact, nor that anything is wrong. Im arguing the point. I dont believe in any 'higher power', not by any conventional means. Apart from the spaghetti monster.


Nope It wasn't pointless comment as It enlightened a lot to me :)

As in what did you believe...

Well yeah... About that cheese ?

Cheddar, maybe ?
