People's responses to news or information seems to be getting more stupid. Tripartism is the rule when it concerns questions about the meaning of life. People believe "There is the animate, the inanimate and there is me, the thinker, and I am totally distinct and have no connection with the first two categories."
This is lunacy!

what's the difference, anyway as long as you know what the other person means and thinks and say it is okay, sometimes its the people who put too much emphasis on grammar and languages usage that instead of understanding what other people think and mean on what they are saying they are waiting for the person to make a mistake so that they can correct them, or worse they don't listen just correcting and correcting without understanding what the other person is trying to say or communicate! i hope you ain't madder to what i'm sayin' but to tell you the real truth you are right and seem to be a very perceptive person and knowledgeable with your language, its not my mother toungue so what do i know except whatever is being taught in school which is not of high standard kind of school anyway!(i'm from what you call from the third world country kind of place!)

There is great deal of difference between ‘I think that …’ and ‘I feel that …’. When People start their sentence with an ‘I think the’ they offer their opinion and invite other people to consider it as something that might not be absolutely true but certainly is the best possible judgment of a fact or a situation. But when people begin with ‘I feel that’ they mean exactly how they feel and then there is no arguing on that.
Our feelings are expressive of the most personal and private state of our mind that only we can experience therefore other people must consider or regard our feelings or there will be no further communication. Our thoughts on the other hand are the way we interface with the world around us; we pass judgments, we form opinions, observe facts, acquire knowledge, understand, agree, disagree and make compromises. All this is done collaboratively and interactively with other people, but our feelings remain exclusive to us. I can however say - I think I have such and such feelings about this, when I am not sure about how I feel.
The people who say ‘I think that’ when they actually mean ‘I feel that’ they actually try to do exactly the same, they try to express their feelings about something in a common experience of other people too, when they want to ensure that their feelings are relevant, or they are not sure if other people feel the same. It is quite normal and valid to consider our feelings thoughtfully when we have something objective in view involving our feeling self along side our thinking mind.

Lunacy is such a loose term in this time of meaningless existence of so called mankind. People have no true sense of there own actions/reactions, thoughts/speech. To this aim it can be said that "if to be insane is sane in a world that does not know it's true meaning". Then people like you and me are a small minority of the last sane thinkers.

LOL.. i wish you were my dad!! LOL your too funny. Well i dont think its your daughter thats causing it always to be just a 1st date. It could be your gun collection, or the fact that your telling them that your dream would be to get through an anger management class without the cops being called on you. Honestly i dont think there is anything that could be done about these boys being intimidated by you. I think that these boys are too soft for your daughter. Keep up doing what your doing. The man that is supposed to be meant for your daughter will show up one day, and everyday after because nothing scares him, and the things you do entertain him. Good luck..

if you look at it psychologically, people are far more willing to give an educated answer (thus, 'think' with the brain) than a personal answer ('feel' with the heart) because it blocks emotional harm in terms of thinking about the 'news' in depth or a nasty resort that criticises you moral judgement. Plus what we really want to say could offend.

because a large part of the way news is delivered to people is designed to maximise the way the feel about it while minamising the amount of information that gets through. by and large people do not think about information that is presented to them, they have two things, the way they felt when they recieved the information, and what they think about the fact that it made them feel like that. it is the second that people are refering to when they say i think, but mean i feel i suspect.

Well, IMO I believe there is a real shortage of actual thinking at all.

Stick around with Philosophy a little more & you will understand how 'you' are the observer.
