petal - What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?

What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?

 
Well, it's that time of year guys when members bore you to death with rambling on about the subjects they're taking
So has anyone got annnything to say about this subject?
It's very very good actually, I'm currently learning about Plato's theory of life and his 'forms'.
Do you think we live in the real world?





I love this subject, it makes me feel like a true hippy, oh and it rocks, oh and it's not the same as religion

There's no way of proving it either way.

I don't know. I can't tell.

And as far as I remember, there's an error with Plato's theory of 'forms'. I'll have to look it up, but there's an alarm going off in the dense fog of my head.

yeah, most of us (and by 'us' I mean my fellow philosophers and I ) think it's a pile of poo, still interesting though.

meh hehe, seriously? the matrix?

um, who knows, who knows

you know what drives me insane when I am thinking about the world? well, not only what was before the time before the time before (cannot understand it at all) but also, if we are just organisms and stuff, and basically just animals, why, why do we live in a world where we now feel the need to go out, get a job , have money.......the world doesn't actually NEED us to do all that.

TryIng to subliminAlly tell us soMething, Hannah? I think the evidence speaks fOr itself!

I, Robert Peter Besnon, accuse thee, Petal, of beiNg a witch! A WITCH!

And whY? Because she is secretly trying to tell the other witches about her true 'form'!





Hmm and what sort of subliminal message are you trying to tell us Robbie?

Started to watch the matrix in class the other day and well i enjoyed it but its a bit hard to, err, understand
Maybe because i should've payed more attention *slaps face* I shall watch it again as it was a catchy movie
I think your world is what you want it to be and then someone up there throws problems atcha for you to deal with like in a computer game or something hmm !
Excuse me while I light my spliff
Good God I gotta take a lift
From reality I just can't drift
That's why I am staying with this riff

Mancomb Seepgood - Grog me.

Here's a tip. Punch yourself incredibly hard in the face. If it hurts then you're real and you can carry on living a happy little life but if it doesn't hurt then you're a freak. And not real. Or made of liquid or some stuff like that. Anyway. Who cares? That's the most important question. Or why the hell has evolution seemed to stop? Explain that Darwin. I've never seen a monkey give birth to anything other than a monkey. Actually I've never seen a monkey give birth at all but my point is in there somewhere. I hate my fingers sometimes.
If I could get an orange that was as low-maintenance as an apple, I'd be a happy man
