What I meant was that said vagina was impressive in its proportions.

STM 12-16-2010 11:25 AM

What I said was the jokes not funny and the pun is not sufficient.

OANST 12-16-2010 11:31 AM

What I said was that Jesus laid the egg from his vagina.

MeechMunchie 12-16-2010 11:33 AM

What I said was that Jesus's vagina was like, so huge.

STM 12-16-2010 11:38 AM

You funny people, your funny jokes...Ugh.

OANST 12-16-2010 11:59 AM

MeechMunchie 12-16-2010 01:27 PM

What about now?

OANST 12-16-2010 01:30 PM

I got the same two.

Wings of Fire 12-16-2010 01:31 PM

You guys are so lucky =( I haven't had one from him since he announced to me he had his own opinions.

Ridg3 12-16-2010 01:43 PM

Just post something like Jesus is a cunt and I'm sure you'll get one.

MeechMunchie 12-16-2010 01:55 PM

I would to get another one, but he'll have to wait a few days before he can do it again. Jesus is a cunt, though.

Manco 12-16-2010 02:52 PM

All this posting of reps made me wonder if anyone bothered about mine.

Holy hell am I glad I checked:

I'm too lazy to go back and delete posts, so I'm just gonna tell people to get the fuck back on topic.

Strike Witch 12-16-2010 10:22 PM

His family fought in wars, you know.


So what exactly is the topic in this thread anyway?

Wings of Fire 12-16-2010 10:29 PM

Q1, Do you think?

Q2, Do you exist?

Q3, Does Q1 presuppose Q2 and if so why?

Manco 12-16-2010 11:01 PM

I know enough high school philosophy to know that answering "yes" to Q1 gives you your answer to Q2 ("yes" again).

It comes down to the fact that you can't make something that doesn't exist believe that it does. Any thinking being has the ability to see that they exist, and they can't very well think they exist if they don't, right?

Problem is, from there you can't prove anything else. You can't prove other people think and exist, and you can' prove the physical world exists.

moxco 12-16-2010 11:35 PM

Conclusion: Because you are capable of thought you must exist in some sort of form, even if it's a disembodied hallucination.

I'm getting stuck on Q1. How do you define the concept of thought?

Strike Witch 12-17-2010 02:12 AM

would define it as activity in the brain? you know, like how they tell someone's braindead or whatever.

Bullet Magnet 12-17-2010 03:33 AM

Not all brain activity is thought. And specific lack of activity in particular areas is important as well.

MeechMunchie 12-17-2010 04:53 AM

I don't have to think about my heart beating, my brain just makes it happen.

ziggy 12-17-2010 06:16 AM

I forgot to breathe. Fuck

Bullet Magnet 12-17-2010 06:17 AM

Autonomic nervous system.

But that's not all. Your cerebral cortex is very active even if you aren't thinking or dreaming, if you can achieve such a state. much of your sensory inputs are processed here, as is your sense of self (parietal lobe). All religious experiences involve and can be explained by activity (or the suppression of) in the parietal lobe.

MeechMunchie 12-17-2010 06:23 AM

You do have to learn how to see (i.e. interpret information from eyes), though. If only once. Whether that process involves concsious thought, I've no idea.

ziggy 12-17-2010 06:32 AM

I watched a film that said babies, because of their undeveloped minds, think an object disappears from existence if it moves out of their field of vision. I don't know if that is related to what you were saying, but there ya go.

Strike Witch 12-17-2010 06:36 AM

Well if there's no clear way how to detect that we're thinking or not the whole thing falls apart.

ziggy 12-17-2010 06:38 AM

That's why philosophy has no real value other than self interest.

Apparently, a friend of mine says that his psychology degree will help him get a job as a cop. I suppose I believe him.

Strike Witch 12-17-2010 06:39 AM

Bitches love Philosophy tho
