Hey

What makes a man?
Is it the power in his hands?
Is it his quest for glory?
Give it all you've got,
to fight to the top
So we can know your story

Now you're a man

A man, man man
Now you're a man

A manny manny man
A man man man

You are now a man
You're a man
Now you're a man

Live it, Live it

What make a man?
Is it the woman in his arms?
Just cause she has big titties?
Or is it the way he fights every day?
....No, it's probably the titties

Now you're a man

A man, man man
Now you're a man-man

Man-man man-man man
Now you're a man

M-A-N, man
Man, man-man man
Now you're a man

:rockon:

i think in the beginning, people are crafted by influences cast upon them by surrounding peoples or culture. most people will develop hobbies and goals and learn how to act through being raised by their parents but it wont be until they encounter their first close friends that they start to change psychologically and aquire music tastes, cliques, clothing styles, so on and so forth...

and i think that these tastes and hobbies reflect what enviroments & experiences they encounter. people with hobbies such as sports obviously were surrounded by a father & friends who also enjoyed the sport or from seeing it on television. a person interested in religion & philosophy is somebody who grew up being unsure or untaught of what to believe, or didnt achieve enough depth to believe it and so therefore try and search themselves.

but this is just a guess.  :smile:

1) Suicide
(Show me an animal that has so much freedom that it can/will kill itself)
2) Modeling (math and other languages)
(As far as I can tell, we are the only species which spend our entire lives trying to model everything. It is ingraved into our thought due to the fact that we model our own senses with language constructs.)
3) Laughter
(Although some monkey's laugh, it is mostly only slapstick comedy. I have never heard of a monkey stuck in laughter)

There is a type of walrus that kills itself by sliding off of cliffs.
Modeling...As like most mammals, we learn by imitation
Laughter...How do we know that dogs dont "laugh"? Or anything else for that matter?

Besides..the "question" didnt ask what "differs" man from nature...just what he is as a person/spirit.

Laughter...How do we know that dogs dont "laugh"? Or anything else for that matter?

Actually, I remember reading long ago, about "dog-language", etc. Somewhere in the book/article, it mentioned that panting [like a dog] loudly and rapidly translates to "laughing" in dog's language. I remember testing that theory out for myself with several dogs - it got some interesting reactions from the dogs, to say the least. For the most part, they typically became somewhat "excited" and showed in increase in playful/aggressive behavior.

I never knew that other animals laughed, very interesting. Also I figured that the topic really was what differs a man from "nature" since that is what makes a man a man and not a _______. I just assumed that no other animal really possessed the intelligence to laugh. Laughter is such a strange expression/emotion.

Sir, if you're interested in the etymology of my name I would be more than pleased to provide the illuminating information which envelopes it like a damp vagina. Until then, please refrain from irrationally speculating beyond the realm of your data.

Oh! I know! It's a compound-word derived from three amalgam root words that symbolize the unique trinity of your life; Nerd, Womb and Anger. The "le" between Nerd and Womb was added for the sake of phonetic fluidity. Righty?

Oh enlighten me, Nerdle.

I have no understanding of what this has to do with philosophy or spirituality, nor why I must choose between 3.

But here we go with your ontical study:

1. Language
2. Culture
3. Whether he shits everything out in one sitting or holds part of it in.

Philosophical -- in some vague manner that presupposes some understanding between stoners, people that speak a certain language (having a similar understanding of English) and those that share similar customs about "shooting the shit".

Being philosophy -- no, like almost all the posts in this forum there is no philosophy within.

Philosophy & Spirituality is more about building up one's ego and getting other's to agree with one depending upon a) who one is or b) what the first respondent to any thread-starter says. The philosophy here ausually starts and ends with consent and prejudice. Where's the openness, where's the intellectual rigor, where's the challenge and attempt to understand those that don't speak the obvious?

Philosophy is the way in which some people chose to interpret their enviornment. It provides some people with tools and basic constructs for making useful and meaningful decisons in their lives. It has very little to do with ego for the true lover of wisdom and much more to do with living a life that is palatable for the particular philosopher. Your understanding of philosphy is limited by your own philosophy inwhich you fail to open yourself up to other's definitions and manifestations of philosophy.


Obvious is relative and you should becareful using it to express your appreciation for wahtever it is you percieve to be cutting edge. What is obvious to me may not be so obvious to you, so you should take some time and ercet some basic consistent defintion for "obvious", so that we may all have parity in a place to start our rigorous philosophical debate. Lest some of us have a head start.

Apparently I have made myself misunderstood. I was referring to the Philosophy & Spirituality forum.

If "Philosophy is the way in which some people chose to interpret their enviornment." What choice is there in the interpretation of one's environment?

I've said nothing about my own understanding of philosophy, only my understanding of the "philosophy" that is enacted in this forum.

This has little to do with what I implied with "obvious"; nonetheless maybe you were thrown off thinking I was speaking of philosophy in general and not the activity of this forum.

As I said: "where's the challenge and attempt to understand those that don't speak the obvious?" Aren't you grounding your statements on the self-evident (the obvious)? My point of things being obvious was to illuminate the general currents of arrogance and/or resting arguments upon unsaid self-evident presuppositions.

Perhaps now you can reinterpret what I said above?

This response is a perfect demonstration of my point that this forum is ruled by a hegemony of the self-evident/ego-boosting.

Please, re-read my post. I would like to know if you have anything to say other than :thumbup:, which at this point I interpret as a pat on your own back and not the other poster's.

See: "Philosophy & Spirituality is more about building up one's ego and getting other's to agree with one depending upon a) who one is or b) what the first respondent to any thread-starter says. The philosophy here usually [sp corrected, Lakefingers] starts and ends with consent and prejudice. Where's the openness, where's the intellectual rigor, where's the challenge and attempt to understand those that don't speak the obvious?"  You've demonstrated, with :thumbup: that you agree with others based on who they are and what the first respondent said.

I ask you, or anyone else, to look through the threads here; you'll find that hegemonic consent is the meta-structure of the majority of threads. How is that equivalent to philosophical activity?
