This is just so moronic.

I'm throwing out facts of the human brain, a hard-science. I couldn't care less about psychology.

But to say that no facts can be known as absolute. That is nihilism.

Not relativism?

No, I don't think so. You are saying "nothing can be known"

He's saying things are known in relation or relationship to other things. That is a LOT, for example, everything in existence that we assess! (i.e. opposite of nothing)

The nihilism you see is your own.

Damn straight!

I now officially realize (as I've always suspected) that I may be certifiably insane to a clinical degree...and...actually... I'm 100% ok with it ...lol..

Oddly enough, (or not ) it makes me want to watch a few Monty Python flicks back to back...hehe

We're so childish in our nihilism. And frankly, before this week, I'd never heard of nihilism. So I gotta give Ahnimus' projections credit for something!

But it's true...it seems like Ahnimus is the one who is a nihilist...at least that's how i've always taken it. And seeing him call everyone else that is a tad bit confusing. Oh well...

yeah. The more people put distortions and projections out on a forum like this, the quicker they'll find out they are inaccurate. The option is be humble and open to learn, always acknowledging what one does NOT know. Or to state all one's knowledge as fact, and degrade the validity of opposing arguments, thereby learning the hard way.

I don't think I've ever said I'm not a nihilist. I don't believe there is any point to life. But you are all nihilists too, because you don't think I can ever know that.

I take personal experience and opinion as distinct truth. Did you forget that? When you learn to grasp the concept of relative truth, it'll make sense. And I know of universal truth beyond relative truth, too. So, please remind me of how I'm nihilist?

Do you see how you are projecting?

I'd probably be considered the exact opposite of a nihilist since not only do I see value and meaning everywhere, but I beleive in universal everything, and the value of the self. I definitely know we can tap into the meaning of life (as the drop of water can tap into the ocean). This knowledge is our birthright, when we choose to uncover and align with it. It is who we are, and is universally available at all times.

I don't know about everyone else, but I like tripping out on stuff like this. This movie on a large screen whilst on a mushroom or two would be a hoot...

Also guided meditation is some pretty awesome stuff if you haven't tried it....I like falling asleep to it on occasion...I can't explain it, but it just seems to heal me from the inside out.

I never understood this. What's the big rush?....is it against the law to wait a few seconds in between calling out the names? Honestly, how long do people actually applaud for anyways...seconds?!...whoaaa!

Withholding diplomas? I've heard of severely anally retarded before but nothing quite like this.

I graduated from the same high school as my sister I mentioned in my previous post, a few years eairler and I thought the rule of waiting to cheer till after the ceremony was done was a stupid rule, but pretty much every one followed it and the ceremony was nice.

But at my sisters graduation it was fucked up. I'm telling you it was fucking rediculious. If some of you had been there I am sure you would agree with what this other high school did.

There was so much stupid ass cheering and hooping and holaring going on the ceremoney became a joke. Most of the people didn't even wait till the graduates did there little march out of the auditorium at the end before the crowd left, so the graduates and the audiance were piling out of the doors at the same time. It was fucked up. No respect for the students.

They do wait a few seconds. They were not applauding. They were yelling stupid ass shit. The big rush is because when you have like five hundred students graduating you can't wait half a minute between each name it would take 4 hours just to call the names.

Its not like this girl is not going to get her diploma, she is just going to have to wait a couple weeks. No big deal, really. And hopefully next time jack ass parents will have some fucking respect for other people and the students.

I hear ya... each school has it's own personal situation so to speak in reality. Like anything, if you have a large amount to get through it can be a definite situation to deal with if it's excessive. All depends on each individual application I suppose...in this case they found it necessary.

The only moronic thing about it is that the students have to work 8 hours for their diplomas. The people that made a scene should be doing the work instead. If my family screwed it up for me, knowing exactly what would happen if they did, I would be PISSED OFF at them.

Also, what kind of message does that send? "I signed a waiver but I don't care, I'm going to do whatever I want." great. the world needs more selfish people that think like this.

Stop sign? I don't have to stop, I'm in a hurry. Handicapped spot? I'm just running in for 4 items. Toll Booth? eh-they make enough money and the change line is too long....

I can only imagine how bad a high school graduation is these days... I went to my wife's college graduation last month and I was surprise how rude people were by leaving. The yelling and stuff wasn't bad, but people were just so inconsiderate of the other graduates and parents when they were leaving. As fast as the graduates were going across the stage, people were flooding out the back and sides and in the meantime cutting through rows infront of family waiting for their people to go through... It just bothered me how inconsiderate they were, but I guess that shouldn't surprise me in this day and age...

It's been so long since I've seen that movie. And I don't remember really anything about it. But, I guess, then that up till this week, I don't remember hearing anything about nihilism.
