For real ya'll. Lets talk about some actual philisophical. Like what are ya'lls opinions and such. Hmmm. If a man had a ring that made him invisable, would the man do good and be virtious or would be be bad and rogueish? What type of believes or Social beliefs would he have to have to become virtious?

being a man, filled with dionysian and apollinian life energies, ie. wild and rational, i believe he would use it for both, to perve at the ladies, and to em correct the situation in the west by bringing about forced change at the highest level amen

Uh...borderline treason on this site is unlikely to bode well with the federal agents who most likely visit the Shroomery. But you're the one who'll get yanked out of bed one night by the FBI/ATF/DEA/CIA. Sleep tight.

My love and obsession for "The Lord of the Rings" books cannot be explained to the rational man...in other words, I LOVE IT!
I have to agree with Tolkien...well, to qoute a very famous qoute "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
In the "Non-Violence explained" post we have been talking loads and loads of philosophy.

Where has all the Philosophy gone?
Whenever some hardcore philosophy is posted, it is only read by a few... So basically, when Mr_Mush or whomever feels like writing a bunch of words and posting them only to have a few people REALLY read it.
Why don't you just dig up some old threads... it's not like they're super-long with 10 pages of replies (those are the religious or aliens threads).

CIA operatives abound, with nothing better to do than ferret out potential enemies of the USA. That's their job, and no doubt, their passion. Just some advice from a US citizen who is grateful to be able to play on a forum like this without being disappeared overnight as a subversive. It's not a matter of pride, it's a matter of gratitude.

I wasn't really talking about the Lord of the Rings story, it is an actual philisophical question. If the man was virtious and practice being virtious then i would have to say he would stay a virtious man. If the man was rogueish before hand and was crafty at the art of stealing then the man would not change for his way of life is now even better. He can now become a better criminal.

"Where has all the Philosophy gone?"
Dude its right over there where we left it.

Yep. But you're just an asshole "skeptic" like me, so fuck what we think, right?

I still believe, but you could only read so much BS, before it starts driving you insane and you become [gasp!] a skeptical thinker... (minus the "asshole" part.. hopefully) ...

Skeptics are an integral part of the process. They help tie up loose ends !!!!
Don't worry... They do the work too !!!
