    Why do you think that people without kids and lots of free time waste their time?? I do indeed have tons of free time, which I relish, and I'm not wasting my life, thanks.
    I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about people in real life.
    Watching dancing with the stars and shopping for junk at outlet malls and flea markets is a waste of a life, whether a person is content with it or not, IMO.
    In real life, I have tons of free time and am not wasting it, lol. ;)
    I figure that whatever makes a person content and satisfied in life is never a waste of time or a life. Who are we to judge how someone finds contentment in their own life?? Now if someone is lying there on the couch watching garbage TV all the time and they're miserable and depressed and fucking hate themselves for it, then that's a waste, yes (and they should really talk to a professional about it). But if they're content and happy doing that? Or get real joy out of going to flea markets everyday? Not at all. IMO.
    I would agree. saying someone who is content and happy is wasting their life because it doesn't fit your definition of a full life is assinine.  
    It's not asinine, you just don't like it.  Wouldn't you be perfectly willing to consider a life wasted if it was spent languishing in a heroin stupor?  It makes them content and happy, but you'd still consider it a waste.  
    I draw the line a few miles from there, but it's not as extreme as it sounds, I know people way more extreme than that.
    People who live in a way that is essentially, if you aren't on the edge you are taking up too much space.
    I stand by it. alright, assinine may have been a bit strong, but I still find it ridiculous that a content life is a wasted life. that makes zero sense. 

    the entire point of life is to be happy, not someone else's version of happy. 

    Interesting. I don't share the view that the point of life is to be happy. I cringe a bit when I hear parents tell their kids that they should do whatever makes them happy. I think life has to be about more than happiness; I think it has to have at least some purpose that involves giving of yourself to others, otherwise it's empty. The "others" absolutely don't have to be children, but it needs to be something other than an entire focus on yourself and your own wants. 
    I think it is important to be content (which, to me, basically means finding a kind of inner peace with oneself, one way or another), but I don't think being content and being happy are the same thing. That said, I don't think anyone can claim that a life is empty if it's lacking [whatever a person says fulfills a life]. Some people don't feel empty even if they never give of themselves. Others do. I believe that some people are honestly more selfish than others, and get no real satisfaction out of helping others, or at least not nearly as much as if they are mainly serving themselves. I wouldn't venture to say that those people's lives are empty. Emptiness is a very personal feeling. Others can't define that for each individual person.
    So basically... the source of contentment/happiness can only be defined by each of us for ourselves. Period. And of course if generous people fulfill their lives by giving to others, then that is indeed happiness for them as well, so probably yeah, being content and/or happy probably is the main goal in life at the end of the day. It's just what creates it for each person that varies IMO.

    You can beg all you want, but the evidence (or lack thereof) overwhelmingly suggests that I am correct.

    lack of evidence is not, in and of itself, evidence. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    It was a joke about this Atheist's username, that's all, lol.
    But more seriously... a soul has never even been defined, leaving the term open to all kinds of interpretations, which renders it all basically meaningless anyhow.

    Why isn't this thread focusing on me anymore.
    Okay okay, how about asking Agnes if she wants to be "fb's". You're both single. Both with needs. Maybe at least a casual lay would serve the both of you well?
    That's like asking someone for a bite of their food, having them say no, and then asking for all the food that surrounds that bite instead.
    Maybe they just wanted that particular bite and are willing to share the rest? Hey, if you don't ask, the answer is always no.
    Haha. She's not that type of person. And it's not really what I was after.

    Friend(zone) beer this week. Will be interesting :) 

    Hopefully it goes well

    Is it just the two of you, or are there a group of people for this Friend beer.

    I still say flowers are a great gift. I like flowers  also. Unconventional hey!
    Flowers are only a great gift if you give them to her at her home. Don't give them to women when you're out, where she can't put them in water or anything. Then they're just a pain in the ass.
    Also; don't give a woman a kitten when you're out.
    Or herpes 👆

    Walking in singing KISS' "Lets Put the X in Sex" is not a good way to get to KISS' "Uh! All Night"

    ...you've lost the ladies in this thread.
    You may as well kick off your shoes, unbutton your pants, and post some Al Bundy memes.  =)
