Philosophy - October 2006

What I mean is, people ask alot of silly questions ie like "how many cats can you fit in a microwave". I guarantee most answers are funny because it's a joke but you always get one or two complete cocks saying "please don't be offensive, cats are beautiful and gods creatures and lets all chant and sniff flowers etc." Twats!

Alright, so I'm writing a paper, and you Yahoo! people are so smart... I wanted to bounce some ideas off of you.
So if you would be so kind, please argue with, or agree with and elaborate on the following claim:

The traits that caused Joan of Arc to become so powerful, overconfidence, femininity, and an overpowering belief in her God, were the same characteristics that led her to be captured and eventually killed.

You would be so helpful... thanks!!

1/0 undefined, not analyzable, not distinguishable.

2/0 undefined, not analyzable, not distinguishable.

=>Anything by nothing is undefined, cannot be analyzed.

=>You can not analyze a thing by nothing.

What is not 1 (you)? 0
Nothing= What is not one.
One = you

=> You cannot analyze a thing by what you are not.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

YOU CAN NEVER DISTINGUISH A THING BY WHAT YOU ARE NOT.
You can never understand a thing by what you are not.
You can never describe a thing by what you are not.
YOU CAN NEVER ANALYZE A THING BY WHAT YOU ARE NOT.

Would you be missed? The point is to this is that I wish my dad never lived and by doing that...of course, that means I wish that I had not been born. So, as I thought about it....I wonder, am I making a difference, or not?

I contended (since forever) that ethics was a person's personal system (not a support of relativism, but everyone has different views; not every christian agrees when it comes to whether or not it's alright to hit children to discipline them, for instance) and that morals was the general system (more vague most of the time, logically,) of the surrounding populus of a given area; morals of Miami Florida, of Florida, the US, Western countries, or the block I live on, whatever the designated sample. A kind of general concensus of the majority's ethical systems. Is this view correct or misguided? Have I been misrepresenting the two words? Mixing them up? Totally missed the mark?

also, if you disagree with my original definitions, and want to truely educate me, you'd better have references that check out. Like online textbooks, mabye...

Thank you very much. This will take some searching for a link I think and I respect someone that dedicated to helping out another philosopher! Cheers!

sometimes i feel that language is a barrier, a single word can have so many meanings, and a sentence can always be misinterpretated... for example, famous quotes by famous people could mean differet things to different people...

Hume proposes that ALL knowledge is gained through sense experience. Are there any good counter-examples where knowledge PRECEEDS experience (as generated by impressions)? I already know of the color example that Hume ponders.

people killing people.... i was once told that all humans are born with good hearts. but i didn;t think so.... maybe we are designed to kill, maybe war leads to change, and we need to keep changing so that we are not overtaken....
