Give it to me... (this isn't new.. a few philosophers have said the same..) All you do is open up a bag of nerves pervious to pain and suffering..Where are we going that this act is "worth it"? Worth cancer at 10? or some other horrible disease? before they experience the 'pleasures' of...

This is a general thread on our moulded psychology.. and the direction it is heading in. Do you have any reservations? It's a tough subject for me because I know there is no mission statement to life and we love freedom and people generally are status quo-ists/what will be will be-ists. Men are...

Would you circumcise your son? If you have had one recently? Or have plans on having a baby.. There is the unmemorable pain of it.. a real issue? (to me it is) but who remembers being born? or before 2 years old? Then you have the idea that masturbating is harder.. you may require lubricant...

Be nice to learn of some songs with this instrument in.. I suspect Neil Young will come up a bit but I'll post a couple of obvious ones to get started. Only the beginning Also, in the song So Lonely by The Police, a harmonica is used for about 3 seconds at 3:14. Just saying.

One for the oldies.. but everyone can speculate.. Which 5 years would you like to live again? or would suppose you'd like to live again? and why? Personally I'd go for 108-113 .. kidding, Selfishly, I'd probably go for an innocentish period, 6-11... video games, cookies and milky wilk, no...

Not who is yours, but who do you think the young or as yet unborn should try to emulate? If you could pick for your young/future sons or daughters.. who would you want them to be like? I'm thinking Job.. disposition.. their nature.. etc.

People tend to laugh at this, and I don't really see what's funny. I feel like once you know the facts of your existence, you are logically obligated to not eat meat or dairy/perpetuate suffering you know is happening. In basically the same way you wouldn't yourself want to be farmed, tortured...

Apologies if already asked and answered (I imagine it must've been, but I've tried searching and can't seem to find it) When I want to check the forum, but with no intention of posting, the 'news advert' comes on about City, on all forums. Obviously I can turn the news off by either logging in...

Underrated the whistle...the simplest 'instrument' going. Couple to start off with.. all well known probably. From the start Towards the end Towards the end Any more?

Therapeutic this is... People like to tell you about their ills..(i've witnessed it many times) so it must help.. physical/mental.. a random sympathetic ear/eye.. simply posting it might ease the tension. What hurts?

Have we fucked it? Not that I believe there is goal to achieve.. (there clearly isn't) but those of us who have kids, and those that will literally live in shit and procreate, there are many.. "the struggle of survival"- Are they simply too dumb? where is the hope? To discover what? To...

Cleanliness is next to Godliness and such... :/

Not a big fan of where it tends to lead on a lot of issues, but how much of a role should logic play? I suppose the idea of logic is that you're enabled to view reality in a way regardless of your emotions or how much you personally dislike the deduced truth. Should we remain creatures of...

Simple question. Reasons would be good.. I think there are some stupid jobs out there..mine is questionable. Would the world/country fall apart if your job didn't exist? Or would we get on pretty much as we were?

It should have a thread.. plenty of scientific minds in here. To me it's a contrived experiment, and interfering makes a difference. But it's interesting nonetheless. Decent 5 min video about it here.

Subjective or Objective? I'm not fond of the word 'morality' but this is that kind of that question.. The most important decisions depend upon values obviously, but can we legitimately class certain behaviour as wrong? It's a tough question because people should be free to do what they want...

Do you think you deserve what you have in life? Tough question I know.. and it will hinge entirely upon your perspective. We could have been born to any parents, anywhere.. But do you think (understanding the world as you know it) - that you have put in enough effort/behaved well...

Is this finished now? - I certainly don't.. (nor their mum) We buy their presents.. we put the money under the pillow.. Only gotta wean them off meat now really.. Truth is harmful to psychology, but psychology is based on a joke.. a replicating molecule.. Is there a benefit in to lying to...

It's basically been happening for a long time, but do you have any issues with it? At it's most obvious best it's brain implants to control artificial limbs/cure deafness/blindness disease prevention etc.. At it's more 'awkward' state it's basically genetic modification. You can chose your...

Has it gone too far? if so .. at what point? and can it ever? ♪ ♫ this is a man's world...♪ ♫ etc. James Brown sang. The full lyrics are interesting. I like me some feminism.. but I wonder about 'gender roles' etc. Things evolve.. movements..man...woman... Obviously feminism has been...
