Philosophy - June 2007

I can understand not wanting to offend minorities or women when one is teaching at a college or university. But there are days when I feel like I should be apologizing to the crack addicts, alcoholics and guys who like to copulate with their animals. After all, we don't want to offend anyone, do we? I would never want to be accused of being a crackophobe, alcoholophobe or a bestialophobe. Give me a break! PC has gone crazy in the classroom. Let us restore academic freedom but respect those who need to be respected. What do you think?

I feel that guys what to be more than friends with me. I just want to have them as friends. I am not ready for any relationships. This past year I realized that many guys find me attractive. I use to be the ugly duckling. That is how I saw myself, but now, my perception is changing. This is why, at a certain point, I was so clueless as to why they were reacting to me that way. When I don't give in to them, they think that I am a tease or a cold *****. I feel really alone sometimes. It's always awkward between me and another guy who finds me attractive. I see a lot of girls with guy friends. I want that too. Guys just make judgments about me. I just want to be comfortable with who I am. I always sense when they think as me more than their friend. I'm just me. Please advice me on how I can be a friend rather than a potential girlfriend to these guys.

Because if you do, trust me it is a stereotype.

But I still wanna know what you think from your own world view.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, once defended the content of their show by saying, "Either it's all OK or none of it is."

I think this saying applies in many areas of life including free speech.

What are your thoughts?

It seems that regardless of my accomplishments I can't find true happiness. Why can't I find happiness even though I have all things that should make someone happy?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to science. I think it is essential and very useful. I just don't believe it is the ultimate truth and I find it alarming how devoted some people are to it's teachings.

*Fact is truth
*Interpretation of fact is science
*Belief in the findings, interpretations, and conclusions of scientists is faith.
*Deriving ones purpose and patterning ones life after such faith is religion.

If science is the ultimate truth perhaps a better name for it would be religion.

Why NOT just play it safe and avoid life as much as possible? I've always been a person who, when I've wanted something but it involved what I considered to be a lot of effort, I always said "nevermind, I'll do without". Which is why I'm almost 34 never had a gf and a virgin. It's also why I have a huge gut, have a job that pays $13/hr because it doesn't require much effort on my part.

And why do women not want a guy like me with no life experience? It just means I'm innocent, which can't be a bad thing. And since the relationship I want is just sitting around cuddling and saying I love you and calling each other pet names, what does it matter what kind of life experience I've had?

Most people my age have had all these "adventures" and have all kinds of "cool" sounding stories to tell. But I bet many of those times were not so fun while they were going through them at the time. I'd rather experience nothing at all than experience anything uncomfortable or unpleasant.

What do you think? What would you compare humans as a species to? Would you say we are like a cancer, or would you compare us to something else?

In my religion, it says that there will be seven suns which will melt the earth away and kill everyone, but one person will remain alive. That person will start a whole new generation and start a new life.
