[color=red] Just because we interact with this world does not mean that we exist. The only reason we exist because we think we exist, therefore we are able to comprehend that everything else must exist. But that is not true. Just because we interact by no means we exist. Interaction is only seen by us as existing because we want it to, not because it means we exist. So really, I think there's really no way to catagorize if we exist or not. Some things just are not able to be understood. As I think existence will never be completly understood and placed in as a principle from which we base our very lives on. The only way I think that it is possible for us to really say we exist is to say that if we can comprehend, and say we exist, then we are in a sense. But only in sense are we exising, based upon what we think. If we were to be taken away of our intellect, then we would not even know what existence [i]is[/i], therefore we wouldn't truly exist since we could't say we did. This thread really gets you thinking...[/color]

[color=red] What's up with all of these link threads recently? First off this should be in the Mario forum, second off, spam is against the rules. If you must commercial advertise, use your sig, that's what it's for.[/color]

[color=red] Yeh, I think this should be closed to. Actually, I think this thread should've never happend. I mean there was already one earlier...*glares at BabyGirl* CLOSE THIS[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Mnemolth [/i] [B]The question of our existence or otherwise is a metaphysical concept, not a physical argument. Saying that you affect the world, or the world impacts on you, and therefore you exist is to miss the point. If you dig a hole, you dig a hole, but how do you know the hole is real, and as a consequence how do you know you are real? If you step in the hole you will no doubt fall inside it, but that doesn't make it any more real. At the end of the day, this is really more a question of consciouness. Hence, 'I think there I am'. Consciousness is all that matters. It is the only thing that can anchor our existence. For, no matter if we are 'real' or otherwise, we think, and because we think we become 'real'. If we are random constructs of a computer program, we are constructs with a consciousness, regardless of how that is arrived. THAT is what makes us real. Not the fact that we bleed or that we pollute. If we are actual 'real' people, then again, it is our consciouness that makes us 'real', not our physical make up.

[color=red][i] I cried for anguish but no tears fell from my eyes I only cried within a deeply welled passing that only lived deep inside trapped within my very self casting about a thought moving tear only I could hear that cry I wish I could just let it come on out the outside but my pride and sense only cages it into mad rhetoric a lock without a key to place in the hole I wish I could just expell this anguish to non-existence watch as it drowns in its own right of passage but my mind just seems to be where the anguish is to be seen and those tears do run inside my mind as I stand abound as the anguish mimics me laughing down at me through where I cannot be and even though this anguish eats at me never will I let it bring me on my knees even if that means I can cease to be[/color][/i]

[color=red] I didn't understand half the things you said, 'cause I'm not a complete computer geek, but I've been having some of these same problems. I'm also using Explorer.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cera [/i] [B]Since when do facts have anything to do with life? :p [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] Well, if you don't have the facts, or most of them, straight on life, then you're not going to make it. To survive you've got to know the truths hidden behind all of those lies. You're the one that brought life into the whole thing Cera, not me :p[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Cera [/i] [B]Well, ain't you the philosopher. Do you really think that's all there is to life? [i]Oh yeah. We're lots of little cells.[/i] I'd like to think it's a bit bigger than that. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] Cera, I was just stating the [i]facts[/i]. Our comprehesion is what ables us to have emotions, and our emotions are what seem to weave us into something more than just 'trillions of cells'. So I realize there's [i]much[/i] more to life than that. Very much more.[/color]

[color=red] We exist. We are merely trillions of cells all working together to form one being that is able of comprehsion. [/color]

[color=red] Bleh, that was completly stupid. This thread is a waste of time. This has [i]no[/i] discussion ability at all. Also, it is way to spammy. So I'll close it.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Son Goten [/i] [B][color=red][b]It seems to me that $22 is worth more than our friendship to him.[/b][/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] Then he isn't your friend. He's just using you to get what he wants, and acting like he and you are best buds. I'd make him pay for the whole darn thing, and say that I'm not your friend anymore, you worthless pile of crap. But that's me, lol.[/color]

[color=red] Hmm. This should be in [i]suggestions[/i].[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=royalblue]Stolen Fayth Temple? Where is that? o_O;; And what is that button on the wall, at the very northeast corner of the map? (Where the guy tells you that you "can't go back there"). I know how to get rid of him, but I don't know what object I need to activate that thing on the wall. But anyway, what you're saying is that I should get a bit further in the game...and [i]then[/i] start levelling up?[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=red] That place that the guy is blocking is where you get Tidus's ultimate weapon if I remember correctly, it's been awhile since I played FFX. The Stolen Fayth temple is underneath that bridge at that place once you exit the Calm Lands, I think; it's all very vague in my mind.[/color]

[color=red] Now that is the Rico I know...very nice description, personification, metaphors, and the like. I got like a cool image in my mind, and that's what good poetry [i]should[/i] do. 9.2/10. Wonderful.[/color]

[color=red] I would do one thing. Compromise. It isn't worth losing a close friend over. If you and your friend can't come up with a compromise, then you [i]were[/i] never really friends.[/color]

[color=red] For all we know, we could only be existing as we see it, and are blinded by the fact that we aren't exisiting. Ok, I'm just confusing myself.. But, last time I checked, I thought I existed...I guess.[/color]

[color=red] They look the same, but are not of the same blood nor are they even alike, except for looks.[/color]

[color=red] [b]Goku:[/b] Ahh well...I think I need to go and kill trunks. I mean he's just so antidevil... [b]ChiChi:[/b] Goku, that child is the total non-devil. You go kill him now!! [b]Goku:[/b] Exactly what I was gonna do. Anymore whipped and that kid'd be butter. Goku flies over to the Bulma residence. [b]Goku:[/b] EVERYONE OUT EXCEPT TRUNKS!!!! I'm blowing that antidevil to hell...err, someplace like it...I hope... [b]Vegeta:[/b] First let's have a nice dinner at Pizza Hut, ok, Kakarot? They go to Pizza Hut. [b]Vegeta:[/b] I...I've got to admit something... [b]Goku:[/b] What is it Vegeta? [b]Vegeta:[/b] I'm gay... Goku stands up from his chair, dropping his slice of pepperoni pizza. [b]Goku:[/b] LIKE FATHER LIKE SON!!! [b]Vegeta:[/b] It's not like that...I...I have a crush on you. I...I... [b]Goku:[/b] What the hell...no wonder you had this stupid FACADE going on. I knew you were just a stupid idiot anyways!!! [b]Trunks:[/b] Daddy, can we go home and play now? [b]Goku:[/b] SICK!!!![/color]
