Philosophy - May 2007

Of course, the Hindus believe in many chances to do well through many lives. I am not so sure this is the case...I am a Christian. But I would like to believe I am going to be around forever!

I feel this world is so...un-real..and confusing..and pointless at times. But I sit here and think of this world like i'm looking down at this big round mass we call earth..and i just see people controlling everyone- and telling people all the answers to the world by a book that was written by humans...everyone is constantly fighting...their pride is more important then their compassion ..everyone is afraid to just say "okay, we really dont know anything about anything”, we were brought on this earth..and everyone tells us things putting us in different directions of how to feel and view this earth...we get pulled this way and that way- just because we're afraid to sit down and realize that we’re all not what we really thought…people were just cheating us and telling us lies so that we don’t go crazy..…and they are scared them selves too…we’re all afraid. But why limit our selves to bullshit lies of human existence? Perhaps our world would go crazy and order would not be obtained…perhaps we’re safer with religion? Yet I feel this whole ignorance of one religion hating others and their egoistic views will bite them selves in the *** in the long run …but that will take time..i’m sure my generation will be dead when that happens. But maybe we can teach each other to love without religion? Help me out..what do you think? Theres gotta be more out there who think the same way.

Some people claim that the reason why Humans can't observe God, is because He is outside space and time or beyond our limited knowledge .

However, by applying the same logic, how could a God tell that there is an even higher deity than him if that deity could be outsides God's omniscience.

A variety of people have taken different perspectives on this topic. Some maintain that we cannot control our thinking or stop thinking. Others maintain that we choose to think.

Of all the things that you could be doing right now, how did you make the choice to think?

It's about as logical a principle as there is that being opposed to abortion rights is a defiance of the right to life.

When John Locke wrote about the right to life, he clearly meant not just life but a right to body and a right to make decisions about your own body (source: Second Treatise on Government).

An embryo or fetus is not a child but an organism that could possibly become a child, but is now only a symbiont that cannot survive without reliance on the mother. Therefore the fetus is merely a part of the mother's body. What she chooses to do with her own body is her choice and is actually the free practice of the right to life.

To want to create a police state that throws women and their doctors into prison for exercising that right to life would be denial of the right to life. Case closed.

Help me!!!!!!!! I am pregnant. What can I do? I am still a teenager.?

Help me!!!!!!!! I am pregnant. What can I do? I am still a teenager.?

I am pregnant and it is the biggest mistake I have ever done!!!! I have been in denial for a long time. These past few months I thought it's all surreal!!! No, it's reality!!!! It feels like a long time. I've gone through depression. I've regained a ton of weight and I look like crap. I'm great at hiding this secret. The only person who knows is my psychologist. My stomach is beginnning to show. I am not the person I use to be. I use to love music, now I hate it. I hate singing!!! I don't want to become a musician any longer. People at my department, I believe, do know. They could tell. Am I being paranoid? I use to be such a great person, now I bring misery. These people have ruined my life. I have been so irrational this year. I am persian and my family will kill me. How can I tell them? I think I'm going to run away. I have family in L.A.and Chicago. WherMaybe they will be forgiving? My friends don't know how to help me because they don't know my problem. I've started cutting again.

Define paradox is an objective natural phenomena.
Define hippocracy as deliberately representing multiple
contradictory conclusions based on greedy convenience
rather than consistency and integrity.

..well not weird; you just find fondness in things most people wouldn't. in SPECIFIC things. and i mean you crossed the line between healthy obsession and absolutely lovelovelove to death 'OMG i'm addicted, i cannot rid this from my mind.'

i loove south park, really. everything: the show, the fandom, all of it. and tweek from south park (really huge fangirl here). and i also ADORE blondes, france, frenchness, french people, anything to do with that. + really skinny boys with jutting hip bones and some feminism.. i can just talk about all of those forever!

the strangest or most detailed gets the best answer.

Was your life better before or after the internet?

A sensient is someone that feels deeply and is able to pick up on anothers feelings or can tell when something is going wrong with someone else b/c of an their own emotions. At least that is the best why I can think of to explain it.

Someone once told me I was sensient and I didn't really believe or pay it much attention. Now I am beginning to wonder if it is possible.

So my questions are:
1)If you are sensient what event or experience made you believe you are and how do you deal with it?
2) Can you turn it off and how?
3) is it possible to "fine-tune" it?

Thank you.


ps. I posted this before but I think I posted it in the wrong category. Not sure if this is the right one either.
Mrs. Avatar thanks for your answer.
