I thought I'd get some official qualification in french so then I can go make easy money as a translator or something..and I like the idea of english lit or philosophy maybe..who knows..i know I'll hate it if I go but I'll hate it if I don't go too. Suz, I will never be a famous author, but if by some freakish chance I were, It'd probably be because you guys were the only people who read my stuff, and then forced it on others!You can send me

I'm sure I read someplace that all embryos (sp?)start out female. The ones that end up male do so because they got a big dose of testosterone later on..I seriously doubt that's relevant but I thought it was interesting anyway... I've heard of instances of babies being born with both male and female genitalia, though they are very rare ( ie you have to be a loser like me and watch the discovery channel all night) <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" bor

Reply to Is one justified in calling War right or wrong? (Final) in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I understand what you mean- you can't derive what ought to be from what is without a universal principle, and since there doesn't seem to be one, it is very difficult to pass any kind of judgement... I find it impossible to truly condone or condemn the conflict in Iraq (or in fact, any war/conflict), for this very reason. Whether or not the election was "stolen" is irrelevant now. I feel for both sides- the american and british soldiers and th

Yeah, I mean I've only met his parents once, at his sister's funeral, not the most happy circumstances, and I barely spoke to them. And I have a terrible fear that meeting the parents can only lead to the scariest of all scary things- marriage! I think this man is just kind of uptight. Surely he should appreciate that you were trying to save him pain? I hate that "it's not gonna work out" conversation..I'd rather things "quietly blew away", N

terrified. i keep thinking "Christ, are we there already?" and then having running-away-screaming-fantasies. I'm guessing from your latest article your not too enamored with the dating scene right now? Got rid of the stalker then? wow the place must've been gorgeous, lucky you! So you had a memorable birthday then? I guess you have to do something even more special next year, when you hit the halfway mark. (scary!) What's next..eek ch

Reply to Is one justified in calling War right or wrong? (Final) in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

To be able to say whether or not war was right or wrong, wouldn't you need to have some kind of universal objective morality? ie to say anything is right or wrong is presupposing that a kind of "moral code" exists and is agreed on by everyone. Clearly this isn't the case, or we wouldn't have war in the first place. To say war was justified is not saying it was essentially morally "right", merely that we had enough excuses to do it. The ques

God I hate airports. I'm afraid of flying (well, randomly falling out of the sky incased in a big aluminum tube actually) so I spend the couple hours before any flight in the bathroom throwing up breakfast and whatever I drank to calm myself down. If I'd've been stuck in one, like you were I'd probably go mad. Glad you had fun sweedie, I've only been to barcelona once when I was very young so I can't remember it at all, but it always looks s

Dear God don't leave me and make me study..I was secretly hoping for an excuse to continue slacking off (in other words, to pick up where I left off in highschool). I'm not a literary genius, but if I were he wouldn't know because I don't like people I need to make eyecontact with (and godforbid, people I'm sleeping with) reading my writing. It makes me feel like my soul is showing thru my shirt or something.I just know he thinks my working m

Yes, Marco but I want a job that pays more than five bucks an hour. i have an inferiority complex whenever I'm with my boyfriend, who can spend $3000 on a suit and take cabs everywhere. (bastard). Plus I have debts to pay, and i don't feel like being pursued by men with rifles in violin cases or finding horses heads in my bed (especially since i just did laundry) I hope you know you're keeping me from studying. Maybe she was just try

Okay Suz i should really be figuring out why I can't get ought from is ( don't ask) but I'm reading this instead. Second date- go to the movies. Go to the movies, don't go to dinner or anywhere you have to talk, go to the damn movies so there's no need to talk, and if it's a scary movie, sit up the back and pretend to be "frightened" by the scary man in makeup and a wig. Or go see Cabaret, same effect. Or I dunno..take some valium or somet

I hate dating too! It's so horrible and contrived and awkward. I don't see why you can't just meet someone and let things happen, instead of forcing them to. That last guy sounded like a real jerk! Sorry you had to a waste a night on him Sal There are good guys out there Sal..I know that sounds cliche but it's true. I know you're feeling heartbroken right now, but it won

"loser"(or whatever its called)by Beck.- the one that goes "I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me". I love theme tunes too, I always thought it would be amazing to have a personal theme tune all the time, like in the movies, when you're just walking down the street or something. would make life so much more entertaining. Thanks for the comment hon..you always show me such compassion, even when I'm just being whiney and self obse

Reply to romancing the recalcitrant woman in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I was always too naive to be truly cynical, even thru all the crap, there remains this hideously stupid little part of me that thinks life is beautiful, maybe because it's so damn ugly. And Marco- you're not apathetic enough to be of the MTV generation, and I doubt you smoke enough pot either. Television was supposed to make the world smaller, bring us closer, but instead it just makes everything so far away, makes us detached from the walk
