I was a bit sarcastic there, yes, but there's nothing wrong with the idea you're espousing, I, too, subscribe to the theory that people use a combination of emotion and logic to arrive at conclusions.

haha, truth be told I actually specialize more in political and ethical philosophy and the occasional metaphysics, and so i decided to dabble in epistemology, not in 'nam of course.

Btw, I've found that Nietzsche's existentialism and falibalism are the greatest trolling tools for philosophical discussions.

Congratulations, you've just learned basic epistemology: Heuristics vs. Cognitive reasoning.

Eh, I'm not so much talking about heuristics or "common sense" as much as i am talking about feeling something. Besides, you kind of ignored the rest of it....... but your selective sarcastic comment is most welcome lol

I may not, but my other personality "Tyler" does, so I just kind of let him run things.

THATS RIGHT!! REASSURT YOUR MASCULINITY BY EMULATING TERRITORIAL BEHAVIOR!!!

I tell you, that "maryhuana" or w/e you kids call it is the devils plant! Its making you teenagers become raping sodomizers!!!

but i digress

Here's to all of you pseudo-wanna be-philosopher-esque teens on NG:

I have a theory in the field of epistemology (the study of "what is knowledge")

Basically there are two ways of "knowing" something: You either intellectually comprehend it or you feel it. The former is easy to understand, but what do I mean by the latter? Simple: Think of it as "intuition" or "gut feeling". An example would be somebody who felt at peace but did not know the concept of peace; the opposite would be somebody who knows the concept of peace but is anxious and does not feel it.

True knowledge comes out of both intellectually comprehending and feeling something simultaneously. An example would be believing that all men should be brethren, but then not only believe it, but feel it as well and leading every day of your life on that principle and it comes naturally because you're not trying to force it; it's something you naturally feel.

Furthermore, true enlightenment (and i adopted some buddhist principles for this) comes from there not only feeling and comprehending simultaneously, but there being a non-duality between comprehending a feeling; in other words, when thinking and feeling become the same thing.

Thank you, I take pride in the fact that some people find me charmingly hilarious even when I'm not trying to be

in some way you're gay. I know you can say "well dante represents a masculine figure i can idolize and i can even go as far as to say there is a 'big brother' or 'father figure' mentality behind it." WELL YOU'RE WRONG. We all know the truth is that because Dante has a feminine look to him (mostly cuz of the hair) that some part of you is sexually attracted to him.

AND DON'T YOU FUCKING LIE TO ME ABOUT IT.

Oh right, i forgot nobody on here smokes cuz everyone is 16-

I'll take my business elsewhere gentlemen xP

Haha, you have a genetic disposition toward behavior that is contrary to the morals of society..... Oh wait...

Or you're a latent homosexual, just sayin, it happens. A lot of guys who find they have no interest in girls in their teenage years find out they're homosexual in their 20s or 30s.

Having a smoke to Piano Man by Billy Joel makes any evening.

Discuss lol

Hey, so I just caught up in shippuden and I have a question to all of you who read the manga (I personally don't because I'm much more of an auditory kind of person. Oh and plz no epic spoilers, be as general as possible) but does anything come out of Hinata's confession or is that plot point just awkwardly dropped?

Some are like this, but again, they are the minority. Not all the Muslims of the world had a parade when 9/11 happened; only a very small minority celebrated. You only know about the celebrators, because it's a more interesting story for the media to report.

You're arguing logic with someone who thinks with preconcieved notions and feelings.

I think Wade painted the best portrait of anyone here as to why Americans give a shit.

Ah I see what Wade is doing here. A lot of us are arguing logic and facts. Wade here is trying to put it in terms of how Americans think: with their guts and feelings. It's understandable that we should be empathetic with the American populous, but there is a certain point where you have to throw down and talk sense into these people.

Probably the same. I'm simply providing an example of why a lot of non-muslims are upset about the Mosque. I'm not saying its right, but when these people watched their city get attacked, smelled the stench of their fellow citizens burning in a pile of rubble for weeks, witnessed all the tears of the families searching for their loved ones, and are told Muslim extremists were t blame, how do you expect these people to feel when they learn that someone wants to build a Mosque where all this went down?

Would you seriously go up to someone who lost their family member and tell them to get over it and let them put a Mosque there? It's a touchy subject.

We shouldn't suspend the granted rights of others just because we don't want to hurt somebody's feelings. Policy decision should be based on logic and legal president and not the tyranny of the majority.

You obviously know nothing of survival, the wilderness, or of nature in general. If cro-magnon man had an intelligence level equal to yours, modern society wouldn't exist.

I have come to the decision that I have by disgust of modern society.

You can disagree with my opinion if you wish, but do not pretend to know anything about me or what I am capable of doing. Because you really don't.

Well if you are so adamant about surviving in the wild away from society then why do you give a shit about whether or not they build a mosque near ground zero? Well if you don't want me to "pretend to know anything about you" then don't do the same to other users by being condescending when you say they worship money. Just because you can live in the wilderness doesn't make you cooler than the rest of us.

I have plenty of choice sir. Unlike you, the sheep, who need the current system of government to survive. I have all that I need. It is simply a matter of time before I release myself from the rest of society, and start to live off the land, regardless of laws, governments, and dipsticks like you who believe they know something of the world. I am simply here right now to provide a means of support to my family who will not let themselves go from the rest of society. Once my ends are met, I will be gone; and not subject to the silly bureaucracy that the rest of the sheep such as yourself willingly subject themselves to.

Will I miss the system? Maybe. But I know I will be better off without it. I don't need a tailor for clothes, I don't need mexicans for housing, and I certainly don't need your grocery markets for food.

The land provides all. And if you think otherwise, then I suggest you consider how you came to be.

Regardless of this being unrelated to the subject at hand, I can't help but point out what you are basically saying is that you are anti-collectivist which is the basis of human social interaction and the basis from which all civilizations sprung up. Good luck living in your shithole of an anarchy paradise. Oh and when your mudhut caves in, don't come whining to me.

Otherwise, not so much.

"If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be start his own religion." -L. Ron Hubbard. And he is 100% correct. The Vatican is the largest landholding organization on the face of the earth. Think of the profits they make: Don't get taxed, Mostly volunteer work (unless you're one of the higher ups), Crazy amounts of donation money. Why do you think the pope can wear gold robes.

I don't worship money, unlike you obviously. I don't need money to survive, and I don't need society to survive, anymore at least. I don't need your money for food, shelter or clothes. I don't need your money for entertainment, joy, or happiness. I am simply here.

I'm completely capable of survival on my own. I'm sorry if you don't know how to depend on yourself.

^completely unrelated to the subject at hand or the issue that you chose to rebuttal. Save your ranting for somewhere else

If you don't realize that, then welcome to the 21st century. Where anything can and will be used against you.

This is the sort of dominant "save face" attitude that has gotten the rest of the world to hate America. Whether its the supporting the shaw of Iran, Batista, the emporer of china, the mensheviks, or even the Taliban, all of those instances show how we break our own rules to keep ourselves looking good and in power. In my opinion I say your assertion is false. You say its a message of weakness but I say its a message of strength. Its like being the bigger man in an argument. This will actually paint America in a good light

Read the Quran then post.

.....whether or not we build a mosque within the vicinity around ground zero? Seriously, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't.

Hypertension.... Why would I get hypertension from a depressant?

Everytime I get high, I feel this sort of pulsating frequency that travels through my body and my head pulsating from one side of my body to the other and sometimes it collects in my head and becomes unbearable. I know the conventional sensations like the munchies and tunnel vision and whatnot, but I've never heard of this. Have you ever gotten this kind of sensation before? and if so, what is it?

So there is this really epic thread on another board (plz, just don't flame me just because it aint NG) and I want to save the whole page as an image, but I cant get it all with screen cap. Is there a certain program I have to download or something with Firefox to save the page so I can view the whole thing later?

Anyone who says that Scrotum 1 is the first flash on Newgrounds I say to you "Ye Fool!" because if nobody remembers, Newgrounds went through a remake around that period and there is in fact an even older version of Newgrounds which probably had older flashes.

You just confused the final fight with Apocalymon with Diaboromon from the movie; They're not the same character.

I haven't watched the show in like 9 years, so cut me some slack lol. Which one was which again? I remember there was one final fight where they throw their digi-watch-scanner things into the air and create this polygonal prison like thing that implodes or some weird shit, and there is another one where Matt and Ti fuse together into that ultra digimon that rapes ass. I think the latter was against this virus like thing which was Diaboromon and the former was against Apocalymon. I believe Apocalymon was the leader of the evil digimon if I'm not mistaken at the end of the series and Dioboromon was the one that appeared in the first Digimon movie, whose backstory I totally don't remember.
