P&S Discussion Reduced to Bickering
    #7883024 - 01/15/08 11:48 AM (16 years, 17 days ago)

It is increasingly difficult to have a reasonable discussion in P&S.  It seems every issue must be embedded in proven fact to even be discussed.  Philosophy and Spirituality are subjects that have been developed and based on things that can not be or have not been proven (God, spirits, souls, afterlife...).  When one of these issues starts to be discussed there are a few in here that continuously nitpick at  small issues demanding they be proven or saying the topic is against rules or belongs in a different forum.  This is seriously detracting from the discussion of these subjects and these people have derailed way too many threads dealing with these subjects.  So to those who are bickering and nitpicking continuously on these issues (we all know whos being referred to here) please stop so threads can be opened and freely discussed without being completely derailed or reduced to redundant arguments about the unknown.  The content of the P&S forum has suffered enough :sad:

Just remember... in P&S people are ALLOWED to disagree. Different opinions are what keep this forum alive. You may not like it... but that's how it is.

Glad you found the ignore button. It beats fighting.

I'm sick of people telling me this, I KNOW we're supposed to disagree, or else how would we get new ideas? I just don't like the way of arguing when one is completely over looking my main points and either trying to turn them around, or nitpicking at the terms i use, whether or not it's real, etc. Do you at least see why I got so annoyed?? Also, a LOT of threads just turned into two certain people making sexual innuendo-s at each other and if you've noticed, everyone else is chased away by their stupidity.

and backfromthedead, you callin me cute? thanks  :discodance:

Yes... but about the only way a person gets banned from this forum is when they throw a tantrum... after something has ALREADY been settled.

It seems you don't like HOW this forum works... because the people you are apparently pissed-off at actually FOLLOWED the rules. It IS annoying... but I am not lying to you.

I DO see why you are annoyed... but you are annoyed by the things that OTHERS LOVE about this forum. It seems this forum was made for THEM and not YOU.

There IS a forum here where you CAN discuss what you want WITHOUT FEAR of being nitpicked. THIS is NOT that forum.

I am not trying to be mean. But you know what they say about the truth... it can hurt.

dude, i've been told and told again. i understand the purpose of this forum. i'm open for disagreement, argument, and even nitpicking when it relates to the subject. but i don't like it when a perfectly intellectual discussion turns into trivial bullshit because of one thing or another. and it's also very annoying when a good thread turns into only two people arguing completely off the subject, or two people just making dumb emoticons at eachother. are you saying thats what people love about this forum? for two people to take over a thread and turn it into internet fucking? haha.
and personal attack is against the rules, yet we have such smart ass emoticons and we can easily dance on the line of personal attack. To question what i have to say is one thing, its obviously a part of this forum, but the question ME and my intelligence is another.

Agreed, remember that there our many ways to find spiritual englightenment and self, just because you may have found a way that works for you is no reason to butt in suggesting they are wrong. If the topic up for discussion is philosophical then there is no right answer. For those who recognize a question as one they have surpassed, help the person asking to advance on that thinking, but do not pull away from the path of thinking they are on, let them stay on the path until they find the end, then suggest a new path.

They are obviously separate things.

What about the ones that question your enlightenment, how do you explain to them? How can you 'prove' that this part of spirituality is real.... can is even be proved? Thats why I said that I think that's what the beauty of spirituality is... it's beyond.

yeah, yeah thats it! because that was the FIRST thing i tried! do you agree that there are explanations beyond logic? our logic and language are only our recreation of our perception of these kinds of things, but there is sooo much more.
