sounds like justfiable denial, that is the one i live by. i don't know, i will never know, and i just want a cheeseburger! so leave me alone,...don't forget my cheeseburger, i really want a cheeseburger!

no, i'm saying that what one person believes to be the truth is not always agreed to by everyone. so, what you perceive as truth, may only be your opinion. religion is a good example. how many say that they are the only real one, and all others are false. they can't all be right, it is possible that none are right. yet they all claim the truth. by the way, i do believe that what we call reality could all just be an illusion. if you cannot prove anything, how can you be sure of the truth of anything. that is why we have, philosophy, to try to understand what is behind the nature of everything. it is not perfect, but that is why philosophers don't think that they solve the problem, they just try to advance our understanding.

you didn't know that? that's funny. i guess the one who starts the thread ties it to them. who knew?

some people have to live vicariously through others be brave, try it for your self. not everything you hear in the propaganda is true.

well hello all! it's 6:20, 90deg.,with 90% humidity. i love indiana in the summer!...not! the fall is much better. i was still working at 4:20, so i had to wait. work+weed= pain,blood,stitches,... well, what do you expect. i work with power tools! and they are not the nerf kind! i only have 8 1/2 fingernails now! i would like to keep the rest thank you very much! i just noticed that this forum is on nessa time. i'll stop by later, ok?

i don't know, but i have come to the following conclusions. a) there are no gods, and humans invented the concept to comfort the greiving, and control the masses. b) there are many gods. or c) there is only one god and everyone only worships one aspect of said entity, and are willing to kill, or destroy those who don't beleive as they do. will we ever know? maybe at the end, but so far, noone has come back to tell.

truth is subjective. what is true for one is a lie to another. his tory is a good example. it is written by the victors, from their point of veiw. it is true that we americans liberated a continent from uncivilized heathens. it is also true that we slaughtered a mostly peaceful, and moral indigenous population to satisfy corporate greed. it all depends on your point of view.

iv'e met some really cool people, but most of them don't live in indiana.

4 seasons, autumn is cool.

is 43 old enough?

cause i like the crickets song

don't poke the bear, never poke the bear! too late, you poked the bear!

i think you mean 105mm. that was the main gun on the m60a3 tank that i was on in the army back in the 80's. that'll fix that pesky coon, and the bird bath, and the yard, and possibly the house!

atlantis, i read the article, and i'm not surprised, that it is happening, or that it is not national news. this is the beginning of a financial war, and unfortunately, i have the sinking feeling that we are not going to fare well if the entire globe is against us. how long will they wait before they come looking for their money with more than an outstretched hand? one can only hope to be dead before then, or to have quite a large supply of ammo. i already have the ammo. they say no man is an island, i wonder if that holds true for countries. what will our country be if they stop trading with us entirely? we don't make anything here( try looking, it is not easy)but food. and without oil, we wont have much of that. tractors have only gotten bigger since we had the farm, and they don't run on happy smiles. our country sits upon only an estimated 2-3% of the oil reserves on the planet, and how long will it last if our credit is gone? printing more bills is fiscal suicide. the american dream is not dead, but we need to start living in the real world, and living within our means, if it isn't too late already.

i saw this and almost cried. the only laws i break, are the pot laws, and i would be so happy not to have my own government think i am the enemy! being an outlaw is much better in theory!

peta is a group of domestic terrorists. they use terror tactics and practice violent criminal behavior, they should be treated like the terrorists they are. to protest and stand up for what you believe is admirable, but trespass, and assault cannot be condoned.

i can barely remember my dad sitting with me watching it.

our economy was great, because it was based on an abundance of good paying manufacturing jobs. with the implementation of the global free trade agreements, those jobs were unceremoniously exported to the third world, where the wages are a tiny fraction of here. corp. profits explode, while american real wages have stagnated, or fallen. it took a while, but we reached the tipping point,where incomes didn't meet rising prices, and the defaults began. we cannot have the economy that we had before as a service economy. the ones who produce the goods are the ones with the power. after ww2, we had most of the global factories, every one else was bombed into oblivion. so the 50's, and 60's were a magical time for us. but as manufacturing was being rebuilt in the rest of the world, we didn't care. so we weren't worried when the first agreements started, more markets for our products, right? but when we rolled over for china, that was the end, we just didn't realize it. so, until we repeal these unpatriotic laws, no president can do much. my father didn't graduate from high school, but found a job as a machinist, and made a very good living. his job is in china now. thankfully he didn't live to see it. can an individual make enough to raise a family now, without a diploma? don't bet on it. a degree isn't even a guarantee.

how to spank your monkey?! ... ohh, how to train your monkey, dude i'm still trying to train my cat, let alone higher primates. mebbe it's better if you let it train you. that is what my cat did. and now that i know who is in charge, i don't bleed near as much!
