      Nice to see you, Phil. Would you mind contributing to the thread? I value your opinion, you know.

      It seems that there are too many who claim a complete ignorance of what standards have done for the promotion of civilization. Or even what one is talking about. I find this rather odd.

      I fail to see how anyone can claim a knowledge of good and evil, yet unaware of any standard by which to determine it.

      How do you know you are not dreaming right now?

      'Cause "live and let live" isn't a valid point of view.

      ETA: Damn it, I bought into his nonsense again. Help! Somebody drag me out of the Pit of Vagueness!

      I pick up a half-eaten copy of a book by Neil Gaiman, and decide this is all his fault.

      Oh my! Feigned stupidity on top of my (allegedly) true stupidity on top of constant arguing! It's the ultimate in obfuscating stupidity!

      Although, you're pretty much king of obfuscation on these forums, Phil. I wouldn't want to take that away from you.

      I have always wanted to look up to someone like you, really. However, I can only afford one of the two operations required.

      I can either have 2 feet cut off my legs or get a lobotomy. And I am really too nervous and stupid to decide which. Perhaps you can help.

      Check or money order will do.

      As you can see, I can easily stupe [sic] to your level, can you just try to step up?

      I guess I am in a state of delirium.

      I went with the lobotomy, personally. I was quite disappointed, though; there didn't seem to be much of a difference afterward.

      Maybe you should try the leg removal. Let me know how it goes.

      I am broke because I got hooked on them myself.

      I am waiting for my answer.
      Is there or is there not standards of human behavior by which to decide simple moral issues?

      And to sweaten the pot, is it not true that the blind must live by dogma to survive? I want to give dagma a fair hearing.

      No. Human experiences are subjective, and rely on our upbringing and societal norms. Therefore, there can fairly be no answers that can be held as dogmatic truth. As rational human beings, we're left to figure out the best way for everyone to get along.

      I would argue that conventional morality rooted in religious or historic reasons (ie: woman must be virgins) is unnecessary and can even cause harm toward members of a society. I believe in "live and let live" because people have the right to do what they want with their lives, without outside interference. As long as no one's rights are being infringed upon, I don't see how it's anyone else's business.

      Now who is calling who stupid?
      Are you trying to tell me, that something was or is being created to no purpose?
      Or is it more likely that a thing is being created, but not yet wholly functional?

      Take a blind person for example, they phsycially have eyes, yet they are not functional.

      I am well aware that a toaster does not know what it is for, but please, I think we are a bit more evolved than a toaster.

      Quote tags. Use them. Otherwise it seems like you're yelling incoherently at the entirety of dreamviews without actually looking for anyone else's input.

      Which, come to think of it, you probably are.

      You are not getting smarter by the minute. Just answer the question, or are you stalling for time?

      Let me give you a leg up. In another recent post, I demonstrated the solution to a famous unsolvable puzzle. It was to remain unsolved until a particular time in history. It gives the function of the human mind. The Beast 666.

      The Shutter that turns the past into the future and brings the future to pass.

      And if you agree, why?

      Mark75 is calling you stupid. I'm calling you a troll.

      Are you trying to tell me, that something was or is being created to no purpose?

      Take a blind person for example, they phsycially have eyes, yet they are not functional.
      "Created" implies that there is a creator. I see no evidence affirming this belief.

      I am well aware that a toaster does not know what it is for, but please, I think we are a bit more evolved than a toaster.
      Our only purpose is that which we make for ourselves. Every individual human will not agree precisely as to what this purpose is, therefore there is no higher purpose.

      I'd rather not have a virgin. Virgins don't know what they're doing. I'd rather be with someone who had some experience so that things aren't completely awkward.

      Thank you and goodnight~
      I like how everyone decided to ignore her other questions lol

      In my perfect world...people would actually take care of the children they took care of. The perfect world would be very sad to see all the "free love and sex" but without responsible parents to back it up.
