Ya this site is kind of lame. Of all the apparent 'stupid laws' that I saw in Canada, only 10-20% were true. I can BS a whole bunch of laws, should I now make a website holding them all? I didn't check the American laws but if they were as bad as the Canadian ones then that's ridiculous.
I have a friend who's getting a major in Philosophy and then he's going into Law School to become a lawyer and possibly later, a judge. I actually do think that Philosophy is a good precursor to studying Law because you are able to understand things from a 'big picture' viewpoint. When you look...
Isn't it interesting that many disparaging remarks, like above^ , are commands?
"Please shut up" just eliminates all angst and harshness. So I prefer harsh sayings to be commands :p
The Celebrity Jeopardy parody comes to mind with 'Sean Connery' giving insults towards the gameshow host Alex...
Yeah actually I thought about this as I was writing my last post but I just wanted to get to the bottom of my argument without any distractions. You're absolutely right about "Please take out the trash" still being a command. However it is a softer command only because of the word please. This...
Ok lets say someone bumps into you but you were moving at the same time and it is somewhat ambiguous whether he/she hit you or you hit them though it is more likely in their ball court than in yours. In that case I would say sorry to give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't know for sure...
I voted for "don't put your elbows on the table" as the stupidest social etiquette. Social etiquette is completely built upon respect for other human beings. Now some are more ridiculous than others but I think for the most part most of these social norms or etiquettes are forms of respect for...
That's kind of embarrassing. *Introduces myself to Emerging Albert* , Me: "Whoa your flying low... and I guess you're happy to see me!"
Welcome to the forum. And you have fun with that emerging P-ness!
How is it that the opposite of tapping is animation? I don't really understand what you are getting at here. You enjoy seeing other people tapping and being 'in tune' with their inner rhythm and/or song, but you are instead animated? Je ne me comprend pas. Habla Ingles por favor ;)
I am exactly like this. I cannot stop the flow of music within my head. In fact its extremely hard for me not to think something. The flow of thought comes along with the flow of music. Many times when I'm thinking especially hard I tap on things more furiously, though I am relatively unaware of...
Which I love. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't have been indoctrinated with the fantasy happy endings that are so prevalent in North American culture and elsewhere I am sure. Would I have become mature and more aware of the world as it is faster? Or would I have fallen into a...
It helps me to see the arguments against what I am advocating for. Which is always good as it helps you to understand other people's POV and helps to create a better or more holistic argument for yourself.
