End of Wars

Nov 16, 2004 09:22

It seems to me that governments and politicians never learn. I mean, all through history humans have killed humans in the name of religion, politics, and exploration. People settle disagreements by fighting, people try to prove that their religion is better than another because they can beat the shit out of people better. Wars are fought and won by ( Read more... )

As a side note, I don't pick fights here. I present ideas. (picking fights is Sloth's job) Other people pick fights with me for my ideas. In this post I intended to present my ideas that war is a bad idea. If you read my later post, "religion and war, revisited," you would have realized that I changed my views slightly to say that war is sometimes inevitable, but I still think it a bad idea. Once again, I'm not picking fights, just stating my views. I'm doing the opposite of picking a fight, I'm presenting the idea of not picking fights. I don't sit here and try to bash other people or fight with people, I present my views for the world. I put myself out there, allowing the rest of the world the chance to attack me. I don't like that they'd attack me, but how else will my views be heard unless I speak them? It's people like you who pick the fights by insulting me and my ideas without really reading or considering what I have to say. Now, I don't mind people debating with me or presenting opposing viewpoints. This is constructive, it allows me to learn from their ideas and potentially reform my own. After posting this topic, Sloth came in and argued against my point. I considered his idea, and reformed mine. If you would read "religion and war, revisited," you would see this. Understand, though, that your post was not constructive. It attacked me for my views, and insulted me as a person. So, of course, I'm going to fight back. I may be a pacifist, but that doesn't prevent me from fighting back, verbally. Also, if you wish to make a point, think it through a little, make sure you know how to efficiently speak your point, and check it again to make sure it makes sense before you decide to post. Everything you said made at least a little sense, until the final cause material cause bullshit cause you included at the end. I read that about twenty times, tried every time to understand it and glean some understanding of its meaning... and I failed. So either you are a complete genius and I am nothing compared to you (I doubt this) or you made absolutely no sense at all. I'm sure there was a good idea in there somewhere, but in the process of being typed out, it tripped, fell, and killed itself. (Sloth agrees with me on this point, and he's pretty smart too. So the consensus here is that you're stupid.) Now I don't like bashing people as much as Sloth does, but if you make an idiot of yourself, I'm not going to let it slide. Sorry. Other than that, have a nice day! -Hunter

Well, as it turns out, that's just dandy. Because "sloth" over-there really thought he had things figured out for awhile, didn't ya' sloth? Every time you find "the newest thing" or something that makes MORE sense doesn't mean it makes the most sense. "He who is wisest among us knows he is not wise." And going off of the sociobiology tiff going on here, you will choose which ideas appeal to you most, so I can post nothing truly "constructive". Stop deluding yourself. You're not teaching anyone anything groundbreaking here. Everything you're saying comes from something or another and you cease to contain originality. I hope for your sake you never have to write for a doctorate. Yes, I attacked you. Yes, it was rude. Wake up, man. You're on the internet blogging what you call philosophy. I'm helping more than hurting (did I already type this? I think I did. Deja vu)

I think you are in no place to call me stupid. Sloth thought he was before. That ended in a lovely little cop-out, though. So maybe this time around we can keep it decently civil. Or not. It was suggested that if I were to be an asshole, to go all out. So I am. Until I am advised under further warrant to change my approach, that's how it will be. One asshole to a few others.

Have a lovely day.

Nice asshole post. You were doing great until you thought you caught me blogging philosophy. I'm not posting shit I read. I'm making stuff up as I go along. I think that's fairly obvious, I see no reason why anyone should think I'm posting some transcribed philosophy book in my own words onto this bloody website. Plus.. we're not really assholes. We just like to pretend we're assholes because we spend so much time in real life doing stuff like.. "living normally" and "not arguing about stupid garbage concerning Darwin and philosophy because in the long run we know it isn't important." This explains for my blatant disuse of philosophy in general and my narrow point of view. If you want to say I've raped what ideas I have and am displaying them for you here as though they are my own.. you are giving me far too much credit. I'm not even raping ideas.. I'm just giving them out. I don't really care if they're right or not.. because like you said, I [and everyone else] will choose which ideas appeal to me [you] the most.

By the way.. I AM MEAN. I WILL CALL YOU STUPID. CRY ABOUT IT.
