if she had to "entertain the idea that God does not exist, to be fair the professor has to entertain the idea that God does exist" I'm sure he did. After all, that is what philosophy is all about isn't it? JB Philosophy is notr about entertaining any belief structure. it is about the study (or teaching/learning) of different cultures and their beliefs. Compact Oxford English Dictionary philosophy • noun (pl. philosophies) 1 the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence. 2 the theories of a particular philosopher. 3 a theory or attitude that guides one’s behaviour. 4 the study of the theoretical basis of a branch of knowledge or experience. — ORIGIN Greek philosophia ‘love of wisdom’. Not cultures and beliefs but ways to think, to see and interpret ideas. Another branch teaches what you suggest. Compact Oxford English Dictionary anthropology /anthrpollji/ • noun the study of humankind, especially the study of societies and cultures and human origins. — DERIVATIVES anthropological adjective anthropologist noun. — ORIGIN from Greek anthropos ‘human being’. |

Who has done this? One day I would love to do this. Its been a dream since I was 17.. Ive been looking at this site. It seems reasonable for $825 a person for 5-7 days! I would hate to go alone though. I wonder if you can join a group or if you have to bring your own. http://www.canoecanada.com/canoeing/expeditionPackages.html From what I read at the site you posted you must have your own group (minimum of two). It does look interesting. |

For a child learns that some of the knowledge it has is wrong and learns better. This is all part of growing. It is recognizing and accepting that what you know is wrong.

So then the Native owned corporations who bring money to their bands should give up their rights?
They, who have worked to get from nothing to self reliance should just give it up? Too many battles have been fought to gain what is now in the hands of First Nations. Nationalizing the industry would hurt more than just the large corporations. |

ok I stand corrected. What you just said is now the bigest piece of bs I have ever heard. Saying people cant learn if they refuse to achnowledge they might be wrong. Bull chit.
Does this then mean that you have the same knowledge, perceptions and ideas that you held as a child? For a child learns that some of the knowledge it has is wrong and learns better. This is all part of growing. It is recognizing and accepting that what you know is wrong. If one cannot accept what is wrong then how do you learn what is right? |

I don't know if this is acceptable. I have been digging through old poetry. This piece I found to be a beautiful collaboration between two people. It touches me and I can feel all it conveys. Very good.
Bravo to both of you. |
