can i link his opinion on freedom/eduction to Rousseau?

in that he blamed slavery on a vicious cycle learned by white boys on the plantation...and that the boys couldn't help but to follow in what they were taught. (i.e. children are good by nature, and society corrupts the,).


is this too far fetched?

sorry if this question doesn't make sense. it's 4 am where i'm at.

Does Hell have an equal amount of space as Heaven? Does one get bigger at times to accomodate more...say like when there is the sudden death of large amounts of people (WWII, The Tsunami, 9/11)? Is there a ratio of good and evil that can never be changed? Is it more likely for human nature to reach 100% evil or 100% good.

...humans have been fighting to control others for ages while others fight back for freedom...
IF nobody controls you, are you free?
IF you cannot control yourself, are free?
Could we ever be truly free?
Could we ever stop making choices?

Thanks for your comments!

Thing usually do not always go right everytime. Did you ever have a real situation where you were able to 'stitch in time' to 'save nine? Tell us your experiences and what you learned form it...

...During the day we can see very clearly, but at night we can gaze at the stars far away...do you prefer to look at what's in front of you, or do you usually look further, far away...?

I am experiencing a lot of confusion in my social life and love life, i know they say go with the flow when you don't know what decision to make (if you have to make one), but it's been months and i just want fate to work faster! My sister said when confusion sets in, one day the right decision will just click in my head, and i feel so lost and wandering aimlessly in those 2 avenues of my life, what do you think?

The question isn't meant to make a point or anything, but perhaps to ask if you would want control over your own death.

If you're religious, would you opt to be murdered just because your religion says you'll go to hell?

i recently studied cartesian skepticism (matrix/ brains in a vat) and solipsism.

and i read that the ideas are known to be self refuting because of language. and then they go on to mention wittgenstein. i read this on almost every article i read about the ideas.

so my question is: are the ideas universaly known to be self refuting and not to be taken seriousely? if this is the case then why is it that they say its "self refuting" yet they go onto state that the ideas can never be "proven or disproven"??

Which potter movie do you think is the best so far ? I do not mean the best story,I mean artistically and best represents the stories as a whole? I loved The style of The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Seventeen what an age in between insanity and your grave
Insanity meaning living with all of your kin
messing up your life and always at you making a grin
Then they take all your anguish and multiply it by two
But you're Seventeen what will you miss soon you'll be gone and they'll be yelling boo by the grave
I mean living in the world away from your kin
messing up your life and always giving you a grin
then it will take all your anguish and multiply it by four
So you'll be dead what will you miss soon you'll be gone and the earth will be yawning what a bore
Rain Love Wind and Rain
I'm going insane
Time to get some more
Bring it Out
and take it down
Put it on the floor
Show me How
to get some now
Boy is it a bore
Caress the Air
drag me there
God damn make it pour

Especially nowadays, bloodier the movie the more box office hits. Is it just because it's entertaining or is there something more to it?
