maybe I'll just help myself to another bull penis instead
 
What about lovely playgrounds with swings?
 
Things like swings are okay
Especially on a windy day
I sit in them and sway
Drinking my glass of Claret eh!
(... I'm Canadian eh)
 
pass the Brie

I concede, playgrounds with swings are very nice.

(passes the Brie and headcheese)

Of course, what if we do not actually exist, and are just inconsequential non-things thinking that we are real, with preset memories of some sort of life.  What if we merely exist within the mind of God as he perceives us and have no existence of our own...

May be so.....but don't we still experience this "life?"
Even if we are just a mental image, it feels real.
I say let's enjoy this   "life"  to the fullest. Because we can't control whether it's real or not.

Would love to discuss existentialism, but I have to go to class.

And sit there thinking about how much smarter  I am then everyone there...

This is the kind of thread that I always been wanted to join  Big%20smile

Ok, the reasons of why I should join to this club are:

1- I can get high without drugs
2- I can translate everything that Chewbaca says
3- Im the Robert Fripp forgotten son
4- I can kill time and return it back to life
5- I can think in other 20 reasons more, but I dont want that all of you guys feel inferior to me



So, what do you think?

1. I am a narcissist
2. I am quite self-indulgent.
3. I prefer solitude before spending time with other, less worthy human beings.
4. I sometimes seem drugged without being so.
5. I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress I repeat myself when under stress

Who'll join me with 16 of the finest men in Scotland?
 
I mean, of course, those of Tain, and their quite remarkable 18 year-old daughter Glenmorangie.
 
Remember, it's not so much a drink as an experience - and it doesn't taste of sulphur or peppermint, no matter what the experts say. I rather think it tastes of bull penis - but not everybody is privy to such a delicacy (although I fancy I saw one in my privy...).
 
It could well provide the ultimate question to life, the universe and everything - but even if it doesn't, it's a damned good way to look for it.
 
Goes well with Brie...
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

You need some backbone, so penis equals spine. Big%20smile

True point.
How do you feel about the threory that humans are just carriers for genes? That it is the DNA that is truly life....we ae just big vessels that carry them.
Just came across it and found it interesting, must say...

hmmm... interesting, yet it doesn't answer the question of Consciousness;  if I am but a carrier for a mass of DNA, then why do I experience sentience (and how even).  It might be equivalent to saying that I am single creature formed by the symbiosis (there's a better word for this) of many similar organisms, but somehow I operate as one.

Aahhh...you are good.

That is actually a main point of criticism. The theory does not go that deep sadly...
But I like how you put that. A single creature that is actually alot working together as one.
 
Very deep.

I snorted a lot of oregano to get that deep... once you go oregano, you know you've hit rock bottom...

bull penis was pretty popular today, but perhaps I'll have a buffalo penis right now
