Doesn’t really matter the incident that triggered this anger in me, the fact is it is still alive and unfortunately, doing very well today.
Bigotry! Ugliest of the human traits. One that we have been told is going away as a result of the amount of information available in this age. Information my dear people, like money in a bank account, is useless to me unless I use it. So use it people, please.
It doesn’t seem to matter either, it comes from both sides of any given issue. From Christian folks hating gays, to gays hating Christians, same thing…hate is at work. Domestics, hating immigrants, young people hating old folks, old folks that forgot they were young and cursing the youth of today…again. Hate. Where does this all come from in this so-called enlightened age, or are we enlightened at all? More like we are full of our own opinions, and not interested in even considering the next man’s life. And if you think you are somehow immune to this, take note next week while driving. How many folks do you shake your head at, thinking they are such terrible drivers. Not an hour later find yourself doing something just as stupid, but you know why is the difference. We all tend to get angry with what seems to be stupid drivers. And sometimes they are, let’s be balanced here, but sometimes they are distracted momentarily, or having a day from hell and the tears in their eyes just made it hard to see you momentarily, etc. Because if you’re honest with yourself, somebody next week will get pissed at you for being such an asshole driver, while you were distracted, or forgetful or whatever. So when you see them shaking their head at you, not knowing why you’re doing what you and getting pissed at you. Not a nice feeling is it…remember we are ALL in this together. Doesn’t matter the issue, let’s all take a step back and consider the next person as an equal next time we don’t have all the facts, and give each other a break from all the hate. Life’s tough enough as it is. —Just Like You, Just Like Me

LMFAO ‘Zilla, you are TOOOO MUCH!
Fuck that!!. I hate everyone and I never make mistakes. If I see people making stupid moves when driving, I pull out my trusty double barrel shotgun, and let’m know they’re idiots… Hold on… Sorry, thats what LS would do. Right tough guy??
*sigh* I hate these bitches 😉

Wait what? Why would you say such a thing Ivan? I thought we were mates. Well I’m taking you off the list then. It’s a sad day indeed….I would have followed you into battle any day.
I’m guilty. I hate litter-bugs, bitches and hoes, and war in foreign countries.
Also… arrogant, stupid, douche bag man-sluts.
THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL HIERARCHY
“Information my dear people, like money in a bank account, is useless to me unless I use it.” (Just Like You)
I admit it, I nearly fell off my chair when read that as it contains a profound philosophical truth which, for some time, I have been at pains to promulgate. The “philosophical truth” of which I speak refers to the “epistemological hierarchy.”
The epistemological hierarchy, or “knowledge tree” if you prefer, embodies the discrete levels of conceptual awareness of which we humans are, at least in theory, capable.
At the bottom of the hierarchy is “data” which is simply organized noise. Then comes the poster’s “information” which is little more than organized data. Next, as we ascend the tree, comes “knowledge” which – are you still with me? – is organized information. After that comes “understanding” which is organized knowledge and at the top of the tree is “wisdom” which – you guessed it – is organized understanding. By “organized” at each stage I do not, of course, mean the term in any superficial or mechanical sense but rather the outcome of the integrative or heuristic powers of the human mind.
At the moment, since I have given a holistic view of the various stages of the entire epistemological hierarchy, I must be passing upward out of the stage of wisdom to some further, as yet unannounced, level of being. But what is it? Not sure, but I’ll report back.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
i hate wearing socks
Folks like to think they’re just a little bit better than other folks. We like to point out other’s weaknesses or a whole group’s weaknesses as we see it. Just a way to try and bolster our own status. It’s pathetic but nonetheless human nature.
I agree with what he/she said.

Op, I hate reading bitches like this one.
GV-Why the dislike for this bitch?
for starters, I don’t think it is a typical bitch. I think it reads like a sermon. It’s long winded. I got to the middle of the bitch, and I still didn’t see a point to the bitch yet.

I’m actually going to read it again for a third time. Very provocative.
Bigotry is based on emotion, a fear that logic and lectures and information alone can’t heal or enlighten.

“BARTERING POLICY
Because Jacqueline appreciates the value of goods and services over money, she is eager to trade snuggles for select items and services. These include but are not limited to:
1. Organic, local produce and free range eggs
2. Deep tissue massages from experienced massage therapists
3. Legos
4. Jeffrey Campbell shoes
5. Trade services such as plumbing, painting, electrical, hardwood floor refinishing, and HVAC. Must be from experienced professionals.
6. Acupuncture
7. Automotive Services
8. Dryer (gas)- installation included
9. Lawn mowing/plowing/landscaping”
I haven’t been able to stop laughing for a straight five minutes. I think I may open up a Snuggery of my own.
Am I the only one that thinks eyebrows abraham wrote this bitch?
you will never be like me, or i like you. that’s where our uniqueness comes in. we have to have something or someone to hate, to be human. other than this, we are all sheep people, or if you prefer, SHEEPLE. the bling following the blind, so to speak. one big idiot herd, out of many idiot herds.
Depeche Mel-Jacqueline wouldn’t recommend swallowing jizz from a guy that doesn’t eat organic food?
Nope I didn’t write it.
He didn’t write it as there aren’t any glaring grammatical errors, references to his native ancestry or his outstanding achievements in the halls of academia.
Let them have their Tar-Tar sauce!
That’s pretty funny, Mel, although I do find it rather odd that she requests that plumbing, painting, electrical, HVAC and hardwood floor refinishing be done by “experienced professionals” but not for acupuncture!?!? Ummm…..
Mel – I’ll mow your grass for a good snuggle =)
lol Hugo.
Mel, methinks you may have just opened the proverbial ‘can o’ worms’.

I think it’s because “professional acupuncturist” is an oxymoron, avast. 😛
I think the term you’re looking for MM, is Shambhala. Wisdom/enlightenment without arrogance. I guess there won’t be anything Nobel in your stocking this year, lil buddy. Keep those wheels turning though, just make sure they aren’t spinning.
Everybody could use a little snuggle, every now and then.

There must be some mighty lonely dudes out there if they’re willing to pay $1 a minute to just cuddle with some lady, erection permitted or no.

Who wants to mow my lawn? As you can imagine, I’m pretty unkempt, and usually stay nestled in some beige grannies. My owner is too busy failing at her new narcism network to properly care for me.
I don’t have a lawn! Maybe you could bring me some eggs and hollandaise sauce? The eggs don’t need to be free range or anything, I’m not a hipster.
Fuck….Mel is a cat lady. God dammit. Can’t bitches like dogs….Always fucking cats. Vile creatures.

Why thank you Biscuit. It was rather profound, wasn’t it.
However, I was wondering if, like me, you had difficulty with the logic of “Just Like You’s” assertion that “Information, like money in the bank, is useless to me unless I use it.” On reflection, of course, information like money in the bank, IS useless unless one actually uses it. How else can one possibly determine whether it (money or information) is useful or not unless one, um, actually uses it? But has “Just Like You” simply uttered an empty tautology or is the concept of “use” not a free-standing substantive but depends rather for its coherence on activity, the activity of being used. Could you say that it is an activity-based rather than a substance-based concept? Does it logically entail the act of being used in the same way as saying, for example, “John won the race” logically entails the activity of John’s having run in the race? Otherwise the assertion doesn’t make sense. As the English philosopher Gilbert Ryle once remarked, “won” is an “achievement” verb rather than a “trying” verb. John wasn’t trying to win the race, he won the race. I’m going to go out on a limb and nominate “use” as another example of Ryle’s “achievement” verb. Do you have any thoughts on this, Biscuit?
: Stephen Harper (07/17, 9:10AM)
Yes Stephen, I see your point about Shambala but, being a complete rationalist, I try to avoid the realm of the spiritual in general and that of oriental mysticism in particular. To be honest, like other forms of Buddhism, I find it excessively passive and unreflective. Indeed, Buddhism in general has as its object the suppression of all reflective thought in the process of achieving what it calls “enlightenment” which I would describe not as heightened thought but rather as the absence of thought. It all depends on how you would define “man.” I go with “rational animal” with the emphasis on “rational.” The dilemma, of course, in the case of rationalism is what appears to be a fixed “cap” on rational reflection – a “terminus ad quem” as they say in Latin – as it appears to top out at “wisdom.” This was my difficulty in my previous post. Do you have any further thoughts on this, Stephen?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

Not really, MM. I’m kind of a one thought a day kinda guy, I’ll keep it in mind for tomorrow though.

Incredibly thought-provoking post, montrealman. (07/17/2012 at 10:34 AM) I’ve read it a couple times now and do agree that there is some confusion. Using Just Like You’s logic, anything and everything could be deemed obsolete unless used. This could be anything from information to my car keys to the oxygen that I breathe daily; all useless until *I* use them.
I do wish I knew more about philosophy when I read your posts so I’m curious if you could recommend some readings.
It would also be great if SHITD would reply to you. I enjoy a good debate of words.

Thank you for your thoughts, Biscuit.
You mention that “Using Just Like You’s logic anything and everything could be deemed obsolete unless used.” I’m not sure I would use the word “obsolete” as it indicates simple past usage, some sort of falling out of fashion. I would rather claim that the assertion is either, on the one hand, an empty tautology, i.e, something is of use simply if can be determined to be of use if and only if it can be used or, on the other hand, “Just Like You” is gesturing at some further, some activity conception of use, i.e., an instance of Ryle’s “achievement” verb. Reading “Just For You” over however, I don’t think that s/he is gesturing at some deeper syntactical denotation of the word “use” but simply at its “surface grammar” i.e. the way the word is commonly used.
I avoid recommending any readings in philosophy since one can only pick things up by diving into “the deep end” which, by the way, I salute your for doing. Philosophy is an individual existential endeavour in the sense that while we are all in this together in one sense, we are necessarily and perhaps paradoxically, ultimately on our own.
You mustn’t trivialize philosophical enagagement as a “war of words.” Words are crystallized thoughts and such thoughts are what make us what we are, i.e., human beings. Thought is what gives life its meaning.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Well, that was a waste of a day ~:(
Mel – I knocked on 116 doors, went through 19 eggs and all my asparagus, looking for you.
Guess I’ll need your address 😉
just like everyone in the world #OP, there like the people who troll the coast, you say you want to knoe what they are ok, bubby, there all TRICKZ, yeah Cuh u a trick
Woohoo and your other persona’s–I don’t know why this is happening,why it seems you people are toying with me or if this is some kind of test.
I wrote a Love as Ozzy months ago to a certain man I had/have feelings for.Wether one of you people decided to write me back as this man and are toying with my emotions or it was infact the man himself I don’t know.why my emotions are being toyed with.
Now Woohoo your either calling me a whore or are admiting I’m being tricked.
As the result of my concern for the feelings of another human being I am being mocked?
It certainly seems that that is what is happening.Why I don’t know.But I do know this is not how you treat someone you claim to have romantic feelings for or care about period.
