RE: Science & Philosophy, do they ever get along?

RE: Going....

oooops that´s two bars...

RE: Going....

I need to bars of very good quality dark chocolate, 85% please... I need to bake some more Brownies.

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

Could you enlighten me as to what "atrocious behaviour" you are referring to?

RE: Science & Philosophy, do they ever get along?

... or in some cases... science can be very similar to Philosophy in that they work with theories that may never be proven absolutely...

RE: Science & Philosophy, do they ever get along?

... and the list could go on and on... just wanted to make the point that philosophy isn´t just about religion and our purpose for living...

RE: Preferential Treatment

In 7th grade I purposely failed the exam for the "GATE" program... it´s hard enough to get accepted by your peers when your mother makes you wear dresses instead of jeans to school... never mind being separated into a special class for smart kids. The things I had to do to prove that I was "cool" and not a nerd or geek...

RE: Science & Philosophy, do they ever get along?

Which of the philosophy´s would they need to share?

Realism and nominalism
Rationalism and empiricism
Skepticism
Idealism
Pragmatism
Phenomenology
Existentialism
Structuralism and post-structuralism
The analytic tradition
Moral and political philosophy
Metaphysics
Ethical

Don´t get philosophy confused with religion... while religion is based on philosophy... philosophy is not based on religion.

RE: Preferential Treatment

The "smarter" not so much... as to the rest.... absolutely!

RE: Science & Philosophy, do they ever get along?

Philosophy is a science... the word means "love of knowledge" You have just stated exactly what a scientist does... it´s all about coming up with theories and proving or disproving them. The big ones like how did the universe happen... have many theories and they are still coming up with new ones and we don´t know if any of them will be proven beyond a doubt.

Philosophers and Scientists are both people who search for truth and knowledge... I can´t imagine a better pair to have great discussions.

RE: let's talk about your imagination about Iran!

Every time I think I may have judged you to harshly and should ease up and give you a chance... you post something like this and once again confirm my belief that you are one of the most vile men I´m happy I´ll never meet and want nothing to do with.

RE: Things you hate

I wouldn´t call that a friend!

RE: Love V Hate

That´s half of what a good debate is all about... the hope that you actually get to learn something... I will often take an opposing view of how I really feel just to facilitate more points of view and get more info out there.

RE: Things One Can Do When Living Alone

If you´re both up for it then great... otherwise your partner just looks at you in disgust!

RE: Things One Can Do When Living Alone

I love when I do one of those lazy days... when I don´t get out of my robe and have a good dvd marathon session and eat junk food, and don´t do my makeup... scuff around in cozy slippers and leave leave hair sticking out all over.... I brush my teeth and wash my face... but that´s about it...

RE: Choosing between...

Sounds like a case of wanting your cake and eating it too... You still want to play for a while, but don´t want to lose the gf.

RE: let's talk about your imagination about Iran!

You could just as easily say that Native Americans have more right to your home and property and in much more recent history... plan on giving it up anytime soon?

The Palestinians had been settled in that area for hundreds of years and it didn´t just stop with the initial land that Israel was given... the Israelis have continued to take land from Palestine. That entire region is predominantly Muslim... it was sheer stupidity to give the Jews "a home" in the middle of that nation that was never viable, the size it was, to provide homes and natural resources to maintain it´s self as an independent nation.

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

Visitors are always welcome!

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

Yes... but that softer aspect is also me... and a part of me that I really like....it just takes a lot of trust before I can show it.

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

Spain is wonderful... and as wonderful as Spain is... Ibiza is even better! There is a magic here unlike anywhere I´ve ever lived. Don´t watch those awful "Ibiza uncovered" videos as all that shows is the horrible English tourists at their worst behaviour in San Antonio... a place we avoid at all costs...

I´ve always loved cooking and entertaining... which is why after years of being miserable but wealthy in a corporate job... I´m now in the food and bev industry... whether it´s bartending or managing or cooking...I love the business, especially when you can make a few hours of someone´s life a little bit more enjoyable.

If you make this direction I would be happy to share a bottle with you!

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

No... it was a serious one on one conversation, he´s actually not the first guy to say it either. The thing is I kind of get it in a way... not just the intelligence thing, I am a really strong personality and I don´t suffer fools easily in a relationship, it puts a lot of pressure on a man because I was raised very traditionally and so I want a partner to be a little bit stronger, a little bit smarter, a little bit more in control.

I spent 20 years as a single mom and business owner, I had to get tough and let people know I couldn´t be taken advantage of... I´ve forgotten how to show the softer aspects of my personality.

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

Yes... they want that later in the relationship, in the beginning they seem to enjoy a woman playing coy... not one of my talents...

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

I´m tired of that... I want one with staying power.

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

That fact doesn´t give me a warm body to snuggle with at night and a little something to put a smile on my face in the morning...

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

It´s my honesty and directness that gets me into more trouble then anything else... and seems to scare the hell out of a lot of men as well.

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

I come from the same type of family... my parents have been happily married for 53 years and the love they share for each other is obvious to anyone who observes them. My mom never worked outside the home but she raised 5 kids and we always had a fosterbaby to care for while I was growing up. Some of my favorite memories as a child was being in the garage with my dad while he was working on a project, fixing the washing machine, the car, building a bookcase....

My problem is they don´t make men like my Dad any more...

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

goodnight

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

Yes... I´m sure the divorce rate is lower in Eastern block countries... when you create a situation that one person is dependent upon the other for a roof over their head, food in their mouth and above all the security and comfort of their children... it´s amazing what they will endure.

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

Also for every study used to prove a fact.. there is another study to be found that can prove just the opposite... the end results of a study are only as good as the information obtained.

Coffee vs Tea

Do that same study in a location that has a lot of immigrants from India or Britain and you will find the majority prefer tea...

RE: No good single women anymore looking for a decent guy ?

As simple as this.... in the morning I like coffee, in the afternoon I drink tea... the time of day I answered that question would make a difference as to how I answered it.
