Philosophy - September 2006

You're everything I would like to be... And I can fly higher than an eagle. Because you are the wind beneath my wings....

I just wanted you all to know how much you mean to me.... **cries a little** ....I love you! ;-*

Here is the choice:
You must decide on who lives and who dies:
1. Your 65 year old father (or other parental figure)
or
2. A 5 year old child that you have never met before
or
3. Yourself

Two can live, one must die.

Who would you choose, if given no other option, and why?

(Classic psych question)

If one wants to go beyond either a predecided opinion, or rely on good ol' common sense, it is a good idea to think things through. On this forum I have found that I have become a grasshopper, I suggest that little effort goes into really thinking about anything for long on this site, especially with the emphasis on points encouraging one to go for quick hits. Looking at the points people accumulate I suggest lots are on a quick fix. at least I have been since starting, and suddenly realised that I was in the same frame of mind as when I was looking for the next quick "fix", questions of diverse nature being answered, or asked, and then abandonned to get onto the next one. I suggest Yahoo answers far from encouraging constructive original thought does the opposite. Of course this is obvious but it has taken me 2 days to suss it. Information overload. Hardly any question lasts for more than 10 minutes, which is inevitable in this format, Who does this benefit?

Can anyone tell me why I would be dreaming of death for the past 3 nights in a row. The first night my sister had died. the second night I was about to die and was so excited about dying - I couldnt wait. And then the third night I dreamt I was back together with my ex who died about a year ago. What is the relevance here? Anyone?

My question is, why would people not interested in God, Jesus, or religion, feel the need to set foot in a church. The visa -versa- What would get Christians to a strip bar? (just an example)

Gender equality is undefined and suggests that the sexes are equal, they are not: no two people are equal.

The intent is to promote equality under the law, or more precisely equitable treatment of all people.

That is if a person can do a job they should get the same pay, but more than that, if they do a better job they should get more pay, regardless of gender, or any other irrational factor, factors that don't influence the logic.

You must be careful we do discriminate against people, the blind cannot drive, the disable can't do certain things, but then again the able cannot do certain things if they can't do them.

Equality goes beyong logic to suggest that a husband and a wife, these two people are the same as two men, or two women, and this is where the logic is illogical. No man has ever given birth to a child and no woman has ever fathered a child.

So is the real term the equitable treatment of people and not the oversimplified confusing term of equality period

I constantly hear on the news about crime victims who never locked their doors, and assumed their small town locations and schools were perfectly safe. Is this some form of strange denial of reality?

Doesn't hope make suffering possible? If there is no hope that your pain will cease, that you will get what you want, isn't this when the pain finally goes away, and isn't this also when you truly die, when your dreams have died?

Is this not the paradox of life? Is this not why life seems like the true hell, and the hopelessness of hell can never be as horrible as the pain of life?

This goes also for questions about the afterlife, and so on... Philosophy has nothing to do with religion, and shouldn't...

Is it because you can't get objective answers in the religion section?

What is the point of philosophy if it is used to serve the interests of religion? Doesn't that take away its integrity?

I'm genuinely interested in serious answers. Sorry if you've been offended by this; try and answer me anyway, I'd like to hear what you have to say.
Thanks
