You know what ... debate ...

here's something that will smack you right upside the head, its just facts, not me doing it ok

hehe
I know you wouldn't get angry .. anyway .. the part of our humane human brain that controls the love response also controls hate response. I dont know the name of this cerebelum masterpiece but sciantifically I've been told its true so .. who am I to argue.

The compassion/love you seek in tandem with learning, cannot therefore exist without accepting the possibility of its counterpart 'hate'.
I know people 'want' for the most part to learn through compassion and indeed it seems far more acceptable to some hopefully most or we're doomed, but even doom has its own pheonix.

To others though, being drawn to debate through hate also tandems to create a learning.

it must be noted imperically; the object or the person expected to learn is not always the one with compassion nor the one with hate, but indeed learning does happen through both emotions.

The very reason i seemed to agree with Ray's methodology. To provoke to incite a detestful emotion .. so as to draw attention and nurture curiosity for the desired effect.

But, personally , i find it more acceptable to approach in a level headed manner with compassion ( subtle remarks or jeers are acceptable to a limit ) as it reaches out and is acceptable to more people.

I agree...which is why I took part!

Ummm…Is it me, or does boobs for some reason or another, play an important role in all of this?

where did u take it? where are u hiding it?


It has been great though, finding out that the playground has another swing to play on and people that also like to play with it too.

I dont understand

Ahhhh boobies...

very well said!!!!

It can get a bit...uhhh...'wet' around here.

I don't do luv in's.



But of course, I stand by the right of any and all to enjoy them to their hearts content.

As for the fragrant Riya, alas, India is but a dream.





It's better to shoot for the stars and hit a streetlamp than it is to die with your guns blazing into the ground.

For example, some decided to be a doctors because they have a passion for making people feel better. So, it’s possible that, the desire to feel that passion is the cause of why they decided to seek that knowledge in the first place.

If someone doesn’t know the difference? Well, you do have those that decide to be doctors simply for the paycheck or status quo?

Thankyou for the compliment ..

Thankyou .. I understand now and i totally agree.

With learning comes knowledge, with knowledge comes understanding, with understanding comes tolerance, with tolerance and time comes a healthy appreciation for our fellow man. Learning new things broadens your horizons which is never a bad thing imho.

Absolutely.. I agree

Learning for LEARNINGS SAKE.

Also, understanding does not necessarily follow when knowledge is gained. The link between the two is often fractured.

Hence the world as we know have it.

But in ideal settings, you would have a point.

Couldnt agree more after a few things that i read in the last 2 days ..


If only we were to apply what we learn .

Fabulous. Interesting. Very well articulated.

Still, I read it three times, and could not find anything about "boobies!"

The boobies will be back Robert!

Good thread detente.

I agree intellectualism is important, much better to train our children to rationalise and think critically than some of the practical skills they are taught today which become outdated very quickly.

Anti-intellectualism is a dangerous thing, look back through history and you will see just how much persecution has been suffered under the various regimes who feared these people. Governments don't really want us to think, it can be subversive!

I don't believe intellectuals are necessarily cold people either, great poets for example must have a lot of passion and emotion to write the way do, but there is a skill, I believe, in putting across intellectual views which do not turn off the reader or listener.

Intellectuals are not an elite group of people, yet many fear them because they believe they are.

Sadly it's preferable to worship dopey 'celebrities' these days.
