Remember not to sacrifice these freedoms for temporary safety. You will get freedoms nor safety. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Or what some men still fight for. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 7:34 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia No, it didn't.

Accepting we're not is the first step towards some form of improvement I think. But then again, who is gonna accept he's wrong when he thinks he's right? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2010 2:00 pm donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area broommaster2000 wrote: Some people think we're enlightened.

Only an open minded person interested in the truth.   Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2010 4:01 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Things used to be more simple. Some order would tell you what was wrong and right, and I think people generally need that. After all, most of the time we don't want to think about EVERYTHING to much like we are now. We're getting pounded with information and I bet that isn't healthy at all. With the trust in applied order fallin apart, on both sides of the ocean, because of for instance a failing economy, things start to look a bit more like an anarchy where everyone just has to grab what he thinks he/she needs, leaving no room for the weaker. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2010 8:28 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia There really is no need for any of this. Humans made it this far with nothing but spears and flint knives. What difference does it really make as long as we gather food and reproduce? _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Because there's more to life then gathering food and reproducing. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2010 4:07 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia What has one truly accomplished then? What are you really working for? Why an education? All to make getting food and making babies easier. Slow down and live life. We're all going to the graveyard. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Simply "living life"? I think theres a lot more to it then doing it simply, as you have to work hard, rely on others, put a bit of effort here, get a bit of other peoples effort there. If everything just bottles down to getting food and making babies then what the hell do I study art for? Art has no real function. It doesn't even have to be there to distract you from your daily worries. Most art goes unnoticed and doesn't sell. We create stuff to be more then gathering breeders, not just to survive. So isn't it kind of the same with life? Is there more to it but do we let it go unnoticed and rather forget about it? And to get back to the starting subject, isn't that what people worked, or even died for, for more then gathering food and reproducing? For something beyond that? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 6:58 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I love bullshitting like this. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 1:28 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia The way I see it, we have time for art because we are smart enough to invent things to make "living life" easier. Instead of fending off the wolves, we now have free time to waste. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
