What is the difference between the Coffee Houses of the Enlightenment, The Symposia of Ancient Greece, & modern Internet Forums?
If those who consider themselves regular people play with language more, then it can't be considered elitist or pompus. We'll simply have a beautiful, colloquial language.
Attacking other people for enjoying their bottomless box of letters only makes you look intimidated by something that shouldn't bother you to begin with.
You all get one. Use it.
How does someone convey a complicated question, without covering the bases by being descriptive?
What value is there to life, if you're not trying to be more than for which you're given credit?
How many times does someone have to admit they're three grade levels behind in math, before people get that said person is not that proud of themselves?
Why does everyone get to go around asserting opinions with no reason or evidence?
When will people get I'm a blind person watching a movie when it cones to reading people & how they read my behavior?
Why is it that humans can't escape attempting to create logic out of their thoughts, but we still assert that logic is man made, as opposed to being a description of our natural thought process?
How tightly must I confine my words before the lovers of layman's terms get off my case?
What actually constitutes flowery language when both sides write in a way they find superior out of bias?
Discuss.

So now you're a martyr? "Oh, woe is me, I came to the wrestling forum and used my fancy words and now the primitives have crucified me! Punish ye the learned? Et tu, Brutus?"
When does your little magnum opus of superiority reach its end and pull away the veil from the eyes of us Neanderthals so that we too may share in exactly what the hell it is you're trying to prove?

When does your little magnum opus of superiority reach its end and pull away the veil from the eyes of us Neanderthals so that we too may share in exactly what the hell it is you're trying to prove? It has nothing to do with Martyrdom. Way to ruin that word even more than usual. I couldn't find a more apt word than "Atone." Just give me one & I'll change it. Secondly, prove to me why we define any utterance as refined or unrefined? Any gumbo of sounds to be any better than others. If I thought you were all stupid, I wouldn't write here. I love this place. So relax. The fact that you still consider this to be related to a concept as fleeting & unrelated as the idea of superiority, just shows that you haven't looked into what I've posted any deeper than your preconcieved notions of the concept in question. Here's my point: I don't have one, so I'm trying to find it. The pursuit of knowing in place of simply believing. Thought is a toy. I want to play. Is THAT colloquial enough for everybody? |

I don't doubt you are a genuine guy but this post is trolling. Not everyone here hates you. You have a unique gimmick.

I generally like the gimmick and I feel that I like the person behind it too... however there is such a thing as "knowing your audience," and asking guienly profound questions might be better suited to a forum designed for it. Here we have a vast cross-section of interests, ages, desires and education whereas a philosphy forum will likely have a smaller level of diversity and will focus more on what OP is looking to discus. |

Is the Coffee House of Enlightenment across the street from the Palace of Wisdom?

You need to turn left at the pool of wisdom to get to Parts Unknown.

The fact that you or anyone assumes that I'm somehow disingenuous is my issue. It's the simple fact that people make random assertions in response to my posts that infuriates me. |

I don't understand why members would have a gimmick. Would I get less accusations of being a gimmick, if I just use my real name & picture? |

I don't care who else ostracizes me at this point. BashCrash & AnvilFan just made this thread worth it.

Anonymity. Present your quandary in a way that will be more accessible to more people; doing so doesn't comprimise the integrity of your question I don't entirely follow the question... I'm not sure how you mean "credit" here. Some people get more credit than they deserve; some less. A mother might not being given enough credit for those she takes care of by society, but she still 'has' to and damn those who don't recognize her achievements--she lives for her family regardless of the level of credit she receives. (I may be way off here, the question was too nebulous for me) Admitting to a single fault or failing doesn't necessarily mean one isn't proud of themselves. Example: I have a low paying Job and didn't finish my college education, but I'm still proud of who I am. What I have achieved... they way I look and the friend's I've made. People seem to generally give more credence to their instincts and feelings rather than logic. Not eveyone is properly taught to research and test their beliefs. edit: they only get to if people let them. Some people don't seek understanding. Flowery: "4. (Rhetoric) (of language or style) elaborate; ornate" accessible: "5. capable of being understood or appreciated" ornate: "2 elaborately or excessively decorated" elaborate: "2. marked by complexity..." complex: "2. hard to separate, analyze, or solve..." For Fun? Maybe... but I wouldn't change it.  Turnbuckle Zealot(Phil) |
