What? nossy Send a noteboard - 25/02/2012 11:46:12 AM
Only exasperation with the "anything goes" philosophy, particularly used to excuse being too intellectually and spiritually lazy to pick a belief system and ride it.

I'm going to really regret asking you this, but why can't I be more relaxed about what I believe? Why do I have to be so SURE and completely invested? I like questioning what I believe, and I absolutely refuse to believe that I know better than someone else. And it doesn't mean I intend to change for them either.

And I don't think you understand that "Coexist" concept at all. Not what someone who would actually have the bumper sticker would think it means, anyway.

"Coexisting" = "no belief system?" Ghavrel - 25/02/2012 01:10:04 AM 648 Views
Not technically, no, but in my experience that is how it tends to work in practice. Joel - 25/02/2012 08:39:03 AM 752 Views

What can I say? Keeping it short and to the point was clearly not CONVEYING the point. Joel - 27/02/2012 06:17:14 AM 698 Views

lol strawman Ghavrel - 27/02/2012 11:01:32 AM 662 Views
I have known lots of people who believe that; some even realize they believe it. Joel - 27/02/2012 02:31:48 PM 703 Views

Oh, it enters my mind; in fact, it has taken permanent residence there (lol, stfu, omgwtfbbq, etc.) Joel - 27/02/2012 10:21:10 PM 839 Views
Dont quote Nietzsche. You dont understand him. *NM* Urza - 27/02/2012 10:34:08 PM 291 Views
I understand him well enough. Joel - 27/02/2012 11:10:21 PM 695 Views
He did not favor moral relativism and he very much railed against nihilism. *NM* Urza - 27/02/2012 11:13:46 PM 304 Views
If I ask how a grammar humor thread turned into a philisophical debate, am I going to regret it? Isaac - 27/02/2012 11:20:59 PM 651 Views
Joel posted. I think that answers your question *NM* Urza - 27/02/2012 11:27:29 PM 279 Views
Hmm... fair point, I guess it was a rather silly question *NM* Isaac - 27/02/2012 11:43:06 PM 285 Views
