Needless to say, many will disagree with what I have to say. Objections and counter-arguments are welcome. Since the days of Socrates, philosophy has advanced dialectically as philosophers have offered reasons for disagreeing with the views of other philosophers. Disagreement is good, because it is the way to a more defensible position. This is a direct quote from a man named Peter Singer. I had seen this in my ethics class in college, and thought it was PERFECT for a forum.. lol. Coming from a subjective point of view, everyone here is a philosopher, we all study the way people react and behave, and are free to post any opinion as we like, but know this before you flame... If your premises aren't true, than your conclusion isn't, which makes you look bad. Don't flame if you don't know what your talking about, because it will lead to a very unsuccessful argument.

    EDIT: Well the forum glitched....... so my post is completely gone now and I forgot what I originally posted :( not to mention I have a virus on my computer that I am not going to get rid of atm since I am reinstalling a new OS. So no point in fixing it atm (in case your wondering how the virus applies, it messes up FF and causes it to crash/freeze up on any incoming internet connection).

    Sadly, the internet is not serious business. So people will act how they wish. Act intelligent or act like a kid.

    Okay, i got what I wanted :) Under what grounds do u have to say that I suck? Can you prove I suck? Why do u feel as if I suck? Your premises aren't true, because you have no supporting evidence to back them up. By saying I suck, or by calling me a "noob" is simply a subjective moral statement, not fact, or rule... just that you are only expressing an opinion. which does NOT make you right. :)

    Hmm.. I agree.

    But humans can't flame, as we are not dragons. Too bad, too. I want to be able to cook my food while I'm in the process of eating it. Much more efficient.
