Pirate_Felix Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Imagine saying that extra syllable when you dont have to :o And its not really about the syllable, in dutch its halfvol and halfleeg which is just as long, but the former is just easier to pronounce.Let me help youHALFVOL1234567HALFLEEG12345678 But yeah true, halfleeg doesnt sound right at all.

Sam Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 I've decided to turn this into a general philosophy thread. Here's a new question; If a tree falls in a forest, but no one is around to hear it, is it really a sound? 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bows Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Of course it makes a sound. Sound does not simply stop because nobody can hear it actually make the noise. The sound is there regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezz Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 A sound is defined as a sound wave, or a vibration in the air (arbitrary definition by me by the way). And the tree creates these vibrations in the air that we call sound. So yes. [insert birds flying in a circle here]Yes, that sig was annoying.

Alg Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 A sound is defined as a sound wave, or a vibration in the air (arbitrary definition by me by the way). And the tree creates these vibrations in the air that we call sound. So yes.However, is it really a sound if there is nothing to interpret it as such? Sound is our brains making sense of those vibrations. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygimantas Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 If a tree falls in a forest, but no one is around to hear it, is it really a sound?It is impossible to tell.

TTanT Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 To quote a certain comic:"If a tree falls in the middle of the forest, and no-one is around to hear it, how many liberals will it take to reinforce all of the trees around it?" The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.[hide=Tifers say the darndest things]I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.I would laugh, not hate. I'm a male. :(Since when was Ireland an island...? :wall:I actually have a hobby of licking public toilet seats.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffwilson99 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 These aren't really interesting philosophy questions, you should pose some deeper ones if you want a decent response. Something like causation, and is it necessary for the universe to have a first cause, or is there just an infinite regress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariusman Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Depends on what it's filled with. It's half full if it's something I want. Half empty if I don't want whats in the glass. I'm appreciative of what I'm given and what I'm not given. The things I want, I'll focus on what I've already been given (The glass is half full). What I do not not, I'll be thankful for what I've not been given (The glass is half empty). Is this real life? There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

Bows Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 You succeeded in your objective, therefore, it is a success.

Dupin Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Bah. This philosophy is going nowhere.
