I would not think to call someone else's thoughts "not valuable". Even if I disagree with someone else's ideas, I can still learn something from them.

Sure, you can see them as one liner's... Or you can use those words and define them yourself. You obviously don't want someone to tell you what reality is... Nor does anyone else.

Be me, Be you, Be what you want to be...

i agree, they do hold little to no value. a one line statement used to inspire thought is one thing, these are simply useless and inspire no thought.

We are not born with all these words we speak now in mind, we learned them. You should know what a dialect is... What you think I'm trying to say, could or could not be what I'm trying to say. Why do you think people argue? Should i be more specific? Will that help you understand the complexities of my nature? Or would you begin to see that the complexities of my thought processes do not match yours? When you reach that point.. If you do.. Where we will be then?

whether what i think you're trying to say is or isnt what you're actually trying to say doesnt matter, it creates discussion and since when is discussion a bad thing? it seems to me like you're simply too lazy to explain yourself. i understand that sometimes its hard to convey an idea or feeling through language, but you could at least try. i know what a dialect is and speaking in single phrases or sentences is not a dialect, its just open to more interpretation. the complexities of your thought process may not match mine, but that doesnt mean i wont be able to understand what you're saying.

one liners are alright, if they fit the subject of discussion. if droz is trying to start a discussion with a one liner so be it. it's his/her free will to say them after all. now if it doesn't pertain to the subject at hand then it could be moot.

as for explaining the quote at hand, I think this is sometimes necessary so that we can see how complex your nature truley is. let yourself shine buddy. besides, people might be able to get a whole lot more out of what you are saying if you can explain it, and you may even figure out something as well!!!! after all, there isn't a baseline as far as how deep a quote can go. that's the point of discussion, don't just say it, add onto it so that we can also travel as deep as you, and we may even help you out to go further. this is the essence of discussions IMHO


--------------------
Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

what ive been trying to say. i see nothing wrong with a pertainant one liner that inspires thought. droz takes it to a new level though, and i find it to be useless.

i just find it irritating when he makes a post like "12 planets around the sun" in response to someone wondering what the origins of 13 being unlucky are. i wasnt trying to say that all his posts are useless, just that many are unexplained when an explanation seems necessary and therefore useless. another useless one: "Phluck angry. Hear phluck GRRRR. Smile Phluck."

I like Droz and his style. Maybe I can just understand his way of describing things easier. It reminds me of how Native Americans talked back when they were still one race and culture. Their spirit lives on though, in the genes of millions of people, and in the culture they make up.

I like the majority of his posts, they make me think about a variety of topics.

I think this is unfair of you to make this claim..

Almost any thought can trigger more thinking by others - He certainly isn't one of the OTD fuckers who would come on here and post "HEHEHE I JUST FARTED HEHEHEHEEHEHEHEE POOT!!!"

Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me.

I think Droz should think about combining his posts into fewer main posts, so the forum doesnt get spammed up with a ton of different posts that are all short and vague. Other than that, post on man! Its a free internet, after all.

Imagine if the whole world was meditating at the same time and eventually started thinking the same thing. Hmm Possibilities

Armies call discipline taking orders. Looks more like badgering someone to me. Disciplining the mind should be done through self.

it's just litter, you know. it takes up a whole bunch of thread space and i find it annoying as hell when somebody asks a question or something and Droz jumps in with a one-liner.

a crappy hypothetical example that is very bad, nonetheless it illustrates my point:

SHROOMDUDEX: How old do i have to be to order mushroom spores on the internet.

Droz: one must not use age to secure material possessions, one must live without the need for material possessions.

SHROOMERZ: you must be 18 to order mushrooms spores on the internet.

SHROOMDUDEX: thanks SHROOMERZ, i don't know why Droz needed to even bother posting that, it was very pointless.


...this little conversation is fictional but it illustrates that there are simple answers to questions and that one-liners, whether relevant or not are just plain obnoxious, it's like Droz tries to sound more intelligent than us by throwing out one-liners in the third person.

no offense to you Droz, this is just something that bothers me and i felt like saying something about it.

well generally hes got much better things to say than fortune cookies, but he follows the same syntax.

on a side note, has anyone else noticed how 'fortune' cookies dont tell fortunes any more but instead say things like "you have a great appreciation for life"? i cant remember the last time i got a straight up fortune, and i order a lot of chinese food.

I'm introvert with lack of focus. I hold more value to experience then word. So it's kind of difficult to express things that I see. I'll try to be more specific for the sake of you guys understanding me better. I'm just trying to find some originality in the world of 'if you can think of it, it's already been done.' style thinking.

Heh, I know what you mean eh :smirk:

Experience is what we build our working knowledge on, but without word there is no communication. What good is an idea if it cannot be expressed to anyone but yourself?

i know what you mean as well.  theres so much that gets lost in the translation of experience to language.  who really knows if what i experience as love is the same as what anyone else experiences.  the trick is to master your language.  expand your vocabulary so you can define experiences as best you can.  while language will always limit our expression of experiences to others, we can always push that limit to its maximum to make best use of this tool.  as trendal said "what good is an idea if it cannot be expressed to anyone but yourself".  do your best to explain your experiences and thoughts, you seem to have some interesting ones and id love to hear them fully explained. :thumbup: :cool:
