I'm on another forum and reading these people prattle on in an effort to sound smarter than someone else is enflaming. It utterly burns me up what kinda retardedness people will extend their, otherwise feeble selves in order to look smarter than someone else.

I can understand dealing with concretes and sensible things, but *beep*, come on "my favorite paradox is the one with the donkey and the two bales of hay where he starves in the middle". This is then followed by a 3 page argument over definitions, explainations, explanations of definitions, vice versa.

Who fucking HATES philosophers!!??!!!

You'll find no philosophers among animals (and people no better than animals...)

gaj livin' up to the signature..

I like what Ricky gervais had to say about a first year philosophy student coming up to a third year science student:

P (S)tudent: Hey mate, that table isn't there.
S (S)tudnet: what?
PS: yeah...that table isn't there.
SS: It ISN'T there? Can you feel that <slams head onto table>.
.....

and then his beret falls off.

The burden of proof is on you, my friend, to show how the enlightenment and everything since has been 'completely useless' 'existentialism and post modernism'.

Philosophers? Yes and apparently moreso every minute.

However, when you're talking about wannabees, are you talking only philosophy wannabees or ALL wannabees? Does that include philosophic wannabees? Or, are we talking about wannabee philosophers?

Ah who cares?! Yes, hatred of them all.

Rand was nothing but a hateful little bigot who was rightfully panned by serious philosophers. Anyone who hails her is a small minded fool.

"Specifically, she stated that "there is a psychological immorality at the root of homosexuality" because "it involves psychological flaws, corruptions, errors, or unfortunate premises."

"Rand stated that women are not psychologically suited to be President and strongly opposed the modern feminist movement."

"Rand defended the right of businesses to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and race."

"Within analytic philosophy, the dominant philosophical movement in the English-speaking world, Rand's work has been mostly ignored. No leading research university in this tradition considers Rand or Objectivism to be an important philosophical specialty or research area."

"Rand's novels, when they were first published, "received almost unanimously terrible reviews"[18] and were derided by some critics as overly long and repetitive philosophical tracts interspersed with low-quality melodrama."

"Scholars of English and American literature, with a few exceptions, have largely ignored her work."
