insane

1 + 1 = ...jump? lol :D

I'm right brained, and left handed. Apparently you use the side of your brain opposite to your dominant hand. I can play guitar, and piano (like actually play), so I guess I'm a musician :P

Hahah, I saw one of those brochures, it was titled "what would Jesus eat?"... and on the FAQ part of it, a question was "didn't Jesus eat fish?". Their answer was "well yes, but we don't believe he would today" rofl... Funny stuff :P

21 hours a week... not bad at all :)

Hai there :)

... There's no way to know. But for the sake of truth as we know it, we have to take it for granted that it's true. Else we would be questioning everything.

outkast rose is level 4 :P http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=316099

I'm not the one complaining about a waste of time now am I ;) My point was, reading for 20 minutes is probably a tad more productive than playing a game. Maybe it's not more productive, but it certainly isn't for the worst. I'm pretty sure that 99% of people on this forum have very much spare time - else they wouldn't be browsing this forum. No one made them read - they could have stopped any time they wanted.

I love how people playing an online rpg want 20 minutes of their life back :lol: Cmon guys, lighten up! :P

Freedom to cheat and steal? I don't like that freedom. :P Unless that's not what you meant...

A friend recommended it, I like the harmonies. It's got alot of truth about love + relationships in it, it picks you up, but leaves you thoughtful at the same time.

TBH, I have no idea - but I'll try and conjure something up. Honesty is key. If you can't trust them, it's probably the worst feeling in the world wondering what they've been doing because you just can't 100% believe them. Spontaneity is nice :) I hate making plans... Doesn't have to be funny, but it's a huge plus. Doesn't have to be intelligent, because (without being conceited) I'm rather intelligent and I think it'd be rather fun if she wasn't the brightest bulb in the box. I dunno why, I just enjoy people that aren't geniouses :P. Looks are a plus, but not a relationship maker/breaker. Well actually, let me rephrase that. It's definately something I'd need (or strongly want) in a wife (sexual attraction) - but there are other things that I certainly think more important to it. Must be able to take compliments - the worst is when you call a girl pretty, or tell her that she looks nice, and you get a "no I don't" in return. Kinda kills the incentive to do anything nice, if she doesn't appreciate it. Maybe she does on the inside, but guys aren't going to read into that :P Must have friends/others approval (if they're neutral friends/others). They almost always see through things that love blinds. Meh, there's tons more, but these just popped into my head just now.

LOL :D

i just ran a mile or two everyday for 3 months... I dropped like 20 pounds, only took 10-20mins a day.

P2p - world 9. F2p - world 7. I like small numbers :)

Ouch! You hoser! Anyways, Don Ross is the best :P he's been rated #1 at finger picking twice in the last little bit... thing is nobody knows about him because he writes folk music :)

Bleh, all of the HP movies were cheesy as anything :P and the actors/esses look like kids still :P

12? He's like.... 25% older than her :lol: end it now. If your friend denies it, talk with your sister -- or even your parents.

Good point on the arrogance :) which is why I put it in quotes... and by the way, what does F/N mean? :P And making everyone equal, yeah, bleh, I guess. I just don't like the idea of making pedofiles, murderers, and rapists "equal" - I mean, they believe that what they do is right (at least some of the more extreme cases) - so who are we to tell them that they are wrong? While this may seem ridiculous now, we're definately moving in the direction where in the future, that might seem commonplace. And I believe that loving people does not exactly mean giving them what they want. Just like I'm sure pedofiles want more rights, I believe it would be more loving on the whole to put them in jail, and get them help, and keep them from hurting others. Um yeah, I guess that's it, see you Monday ;)

While saying that there's an absolute truth in morals, and everybody who does not assume the same morals as you is blatantly wrong is downright arrogant (no matter how many 'IMO' you insert into it). I really can't see why you call my opinion 'shallow', but even if you have any arguments for that, I'll be shallow instead of arrogant, thank you very much. Not everyone who assumes the same morals as me - I believe that it is absolutely true that morals are God's character. You conform to God's character, you conform to correct morals. I don't claim to know these, but I certainly devote a huge part of my life to discovering and adhering to these. I don't think I claimed that my morals were correct - if I did, I misspoke. I meant shallow as in, blah, this is hard to explain. It just seems relativity is a way of smoothing things over, trying to make everyone happy - I'm not explaining it right, but, yeah, shallow wasn't the right word to use :P After some more thought I guess I do have one moral standpoint that I believe to be absolutely true. It's not a bunch of "don't do these things", it's one thing that I believe all should follow - and that is to love, everyone, without hope of reward, love everyone equally - it does no harm to anyone, it only builds up, it never tears down. If you love someone, you will not murder, etc. Love is the basis that all other laws are built on. So I guess this is what I see as an absolutely universal moral. And I'd rather be "arrogant" and love, rather than not "arrogant" and not love everyone.

It's your opinion, it's their opinion. If it's an opinion, how can it be absolute? Bleh :| [/offtopic tangent] Of course not, it's subjective, as is everything else. After all, you disagree with me, don't you? No, it's my opinion, that people can be wrong about moral issues and truth, etc. I only say this because people may differ from me, and if I say "this is the way it is" instead of IMO, people take it personally and get defensive, and usually flame the crap out of me. It's tricky defining your standpoint on an issue like this, because language is a huuuuge part of it :P and one little word slip anywhere can totally change what you're saying. So I withdraw the IMO from what I say - no matter what people believe, they are either right or wrong. And for the second point - I understand that if I believe that truth is absolute - then my disagreeing with you would make you absolutely wrong (if I'm correct in truth being absolute). And if you, on the other hand, believing that truth is subjective - were to disagree with me, it'd just be a matter of opinion, leaving both of us with whatever we think is true (If you're correct in truth being subjective). Which is very weird to think about :P but yes, I use words "I believe" or "in my opinion", to keep from sounding arrogant - and to keep users from feeling like they need to put their guard up. Because I believe that I can also be absolutely wrong :) and I take all users opinions as equally as I take my own - I just happen to have thought through my beliefs alot more than beliefs I have just so happened to have read. That's why you'll see me in a lot of arguments just playing a mediator, not siding with one side or another - I like to try and understand where people are coming from - I don't like to just shout "this is true, blah blah, listen to me", because it doesn't get anyone anywhere and only causes tension. Of course this is all a matter of my opinion :) So in short - if my opinion (yes, opinion :P because it cannot be proven) turns out to be correct - then your opinions, are incorrect. I don't mean to sound arrogant by this, that's just the way it would be - you can't really argue against that :P. But if your opinion happens to be correct, then my opinion is not wrong, it just is what it is - and that seems really shallow to me.

Make sure that you get a song in standard tuning though! (EADGBE), Avzy's song is a very complex tuning :P

Yeah, I understand your point Jamie (is it jamie2002?). As for the sky question - I would say that it is *still* true that the sky was once blue, the present truth has changed, but it doesn't mean that we were wrong before, the state has just changed. I agree with everything else you said except for right and wrong - I believe that right and wrong tie into absolute truth - for example: It is true that murder is wrong. While some people may firmly believe the opposite with all their hearts, IMO, they are wrong. And for the subjective truth people: when you say that truth is not absolute, is that absolutely true? :P (sounds stupid, but think about it :))

It's either absolute or it's not. There are no exceptions to that rule. And I don't quite get your last line. You say, in your opinion, that moral truths are objective then finish up saying they [implied] are absolute. @DBP: Willing to bet that "other kid" lost out hard, yeah ;) Objective ~ absolute. Absolute = undisputable, objective = not subject to opinion. It's funny though :) how circular everyone's reasoning has to be. There actually no way around it. Because truth being absolute determines whether or not morals would be. So believing in subjective truth, and assuming it's true leads you to the point where morals are subjective. And I like that it's unproveable :) it either is or it isn't - it springs a different type of argument when compared to theist/atheist debates - a nice change, methinks.

To clear things up: An absolute is something that is undisputable. Obviously opinions don't fall under this category, they are excepted. So my question basically is (it's hard to explain), are there any major exceptions that you think exist? Like for instance, one (or many) might say that moral truths are subject to opinion. But IMO (rofl), moral truths are objective. They are absolute.
