In the beggining of this school year, on religion classes we discussed the differences between two things: knowing and believing. Then the teacher started to talk about things like: Is this real? Why do we accept this as reality? ETC.....
I mean, it seems that we have a Morpheus in our school.
Any opinions?

Opinions on what? The backwardness of your school teachings?

Just to clarify, there is no school system. It's all an elaborate illusion set up in some fat white guy's snowglobe in the middle of Jersey.

It's the origin of the "I think, therefore I am" statement. Which means that the fact the thinker exists in some form is the only thing that can be proven. I've come across books about it, and it's certainly an interesting theory. However, it's not really something I bother to think about - who cares if it's not all real, so long as I can have fun in it ^_^

If something cannot be proven (or disproven) in any way at the time of when the question is asked it is not reality. But this does not exclude the possibility of it becoming reality.

So, for instance, God at this moment is surreal. But I will not and cannot exclude the possibility that he/she actually exist as neither way is proven. Now, you can believe something exist or just "is". But untill its proven with facts you cannot say its reality. Nor can you say it does not exist.

Was there a point to this thread, or was it just slapped up by Razor in a weak attempt to seem like he actually had a synapse or something? I mean, Christ, I wasn't gonna call you a moron here, but... all you can think is Morpheus?

See, I just can't abide crap like this when it gets posted, 'cos I don't want to be a misanthrope. Honest I don't. It's just every ****in' ten minutes someone who in reality shouldn't have even tried to form a thought more advanced than "I like Nutter Butters" pops up and tries to get attention by taking several millenia of philosophy, the one inarguably good accomplishment we have made while on this Earth and defiling it with their inconceivable vacuousness, to make some statement so imbecilic that it can cauterize out your frontal lobe from 20 yards. That and TV commercials. TV commercials suck, and go a long way towards explaining why so many people exhibit such bovine stupidity. And they're loud, and show a disturbing lack of nudity.

Hmm... That's it. For now.

At least Razor said something that can be discussed intelligently, and is an interesting subject, however it was presented.

Careful...

Apologies, but philosophy of this sort happens to be my field and my passion, and even if he couldn't summon up the wattage to deal with the question properly (or sense to not bring it up in that case), he could have had the common decency to at least make the effort. Lots of people try and fail to actually think about anything significant in any material way, and I have nothing against them. This **** is just insulting.

You can disagree with him all you want, but the moment you start to explicitly offend him you're scoring negative points with me. So if you want to call him names, do it over PMs or instant messengers of some kind.

[Stryke 9]

...And there I can call him all the names I like? Honest?

[Taristin]

Hermmm... I see now why razor's title is 'Target Drone'

He makes a post like this, and everyone locks on...

Don't quite understand the point of this one though...

[Odyssey]

Um... Somebody please explain what exactly is wrong with Razor's post? He brought up a subject that can be discussed. That people can have opinions about. That Stryke 9 can ***** about.
Circle the 'odd sentence out' above.

[Knight Templar]

this one ain't my fault, is it?

Don't look at me. I just gave my opinion on the subject. Thats all.

[Stryke 9]

"Is this real" isn't a discussion point, it's gibberish. Same for a yes/no response as to "Why do we accept this (again the utter lack of specificity) as reality?" In order to have any real thought on the subject, one must cache it in the proper terminology to think about it, and there's no point in translating from idiotese just to strike up a topic only maybe two people (neither of them the creator, or any of you moaners) will be willing and/or able to follow. I mean, hell, look at it- if anyone wanted to answer his inane "question", they would have- instead y'all choose to whine about the manner in which others don't answer it, because you're hypocrites. At least I make no pretence to not wanting to go through with this crap again.

[castor]

Any opinions?

Trying to get us to do your homework or something?

Real or not?

What one experiences, thats real yes.
Does one know what it means? lol, no.
