• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

On who is doing the philosophization! I think it was Kafka who worked out the basic premise of The Philosophy of Dogs..... "if one has meat in his jaws, all problems are solved for the time being".

Works better for me with shrimp, but I think there is something to this.

Wouldn't that be the same person who's experiencing existence, whether it be illusory or not?

But it's true... as long as you're satisfied, what else matters for now?

Leads neatly on to my own great philosophical question:

If a tree falls in the forest and squashes a mime, does anybody care?
Yes --- if the tree was cut down by loggers --- environmentalists would have a fit.

Does this mean my dogs would have been a evolutionary step (no balls, so now they can't be). They seem to value attention over food. Well one finds them equal and the other values attention more. This is a survival trait in a world with people as in the long run it means more food!

And yes neither of the dogs will bite me.

Creating a QV thread would accomplish the exact same thing without being obnoxious.
That would be like building a bridge without being a construction engineer.
