He goes onto explain that men are potentially violent...

Great point.

Hegel never did go to explain why the dialectical exists as opposed to some sort of monism. Maybe I need to be educated; but, that's a topic worthy of a thesis paper.

Is this a reference to TimeLine's love of Hegel?

Never knew that. Hegel was a staunch believer in marriage though so go figure.

It's people like you who turn otherwise thoughtful, kind, generous, thoughtful -- all round NICE people -- into cantankerous argumentative assholes. If you weren't so fucking stupid, it wouldn't be necessary to beat you over the head again and again.

We get very tired of trying to pound common sense into your thick skulls.

I didn't know that. I have been thinking about what it would be like having a pet husband, feeding it and having fun together.

Gotta watch out with those BDSM master-slave relations. Wonder what Nietzsche would say about it.

He was too busy vicariously plotting world domination.

I wouldn't know. But, I gather that Blackadder would put Nietzsche in his place.

This forum is a testing ground. It's a place for people to test bad arguments, which have been shown to be bad arguments, in the expectation that they might get a different result. And it tests people's skills, as well as their patience.

Interesting thread that came up in my history of today's feed of two years ago. I wonder if those who answered two years ago still feel the same now.
I absolutely feel more enriched being a member here but as far as the cankerous ahole?
Meh...not really my mo.

Lol, the vibrance of TimeLine will never fade.

I wonder where she is and how life is treating her... :flower:

An online forum separates people in such a way that they can attack ideas without attacking each other personally. If attacks on ideas are taken personally, or intended personally, then they shouldn't be. But I think subjecting our ideas to harsh scrutiny is a good thing.

Most people on here are cantankerous, irritated, snarky, disagreeable, and generally pissed off at some comment almost all of the time. — schopenhauer1

That doesn't match my perception, in the months I have been here. I enjoy it here. It entertains me, and I learn stuff.

yeah, whatever. I'm just here for the girls

This is the probably best forum in the world.

Aww Thank you Chris! We are a group of "thinkers" sharing at the table of experience in pursuit of wisdom.
We are blessed to have the luxury of time to think together for it usually indicates that life is pretty steady, for the moment.
