Vigilante readership... Good point. If he was a wife beater, a rapist or whatever other kind of malfeasant, the proof one may have against him is now ...

Mysticism.

You think Descartes lived in a cave? He corresponded with the greatest minds out there. I agree with Banno that philosophy is social. All those rumina...

Then: 1. Read novels and watch movies that ask philosophical questions. Not explicitly, that's boring but implicitly. Stuff like The Matrix, Sophie's ...

Hmmm, baby marrow seems a bit odd. But it does give the poem a dark mood. The last line is cliche, which is a pity. I also wonder, as a little boy I n...

And he is not sure whether he will not bring the infection to the island I guess. I liked the story, it is well written and I liked the feelings of tu...

I also had that feeling... didn't I read a story where the protagonists were all animals before? They were drinking beer and doing animally things too...

I have not read all of the thread, actually only this question because of Moliere's mention. I do not know if it is relevant and if not just ignore th...

Jamboree is a well known word in scouting circles... actually the world jamboree has recently been evacuated in South Korea because of a hurricane. ed...

:rofl:

That was a low blow so it was... sobs

From the shadows he came with foreboding step. His eternal sleep had been cold, dark but restful at least and now it was disturbed by these chattering...

A storm in a glass of water :rofl:

Well, I am not sure. He seems to do everything in quite a trance like state. Obtaining the local currency seems a bit too well prepared for me. Normal...

Well, I thought this was yours, well I liked the story if it is any consolation. I have you down for Shaun and Quigley too, probably also not yours th...

One savors a well strung sentence like a good bite of a meal and a well crafted story is a dish calmly consumed with a good glass of wine.

Somehow those slices of life... my life is already decidedly uninteresting... why read about someone else's? But then, I also like the taste of fresh ...

I assure you though, the sausage is as well. And Wiki is wrong, really good one is still smoked...

Yes yes yes, very nice... Two things: 1 Why did he bring corded metal wire? And 2. How did he get lei? However, so much strength in this narration! Es...

I like them on sandwiches, pastrami comes to mind. They are also good with paté. Pickles with hearty stews are indeed good too. The acid cuts through ...

Hmmm.... It seems odd to me on a number of levels. 1. A lamborghini and a philosophy prof who is apparently ethical and somewhat of a repressed man. I...

I know it! It is all about the KLM! I should have known from the first sentence! It was flying high above England upsetting British Airways who though...

The Dutch connection I am thinking of is Benkei having written the story... But it is funny that, if you follow the rabbit hole all the way down, you ...

Red white and blue is also the Dutch flag by the way. Perhaps another layer by the author...

Maybe it is my lack of AI knowledge, but I find the argument unconvincing. She might be creative in the sense that from one pattern she logically dedu...

I wonder about this... all individual pattern recognition. Us writers have been pushed and pulled, we have learned i.e. been fed input. Some of us by ...

I would have liked to have written it but no. I do like the style of writing actually very much. I do not think I could have pulled this off. It is a ...

"There is nothing trivial about fornication" - Inspector Morse

I did not read through all of the discussion. Atheist thought you did not want to have a down vote. From this post it appears you did. Well, possible ...

I am not in the camp of Amity and Jack on this one. I do not believe everything has to be about 'feedback' or 'providing services'. I think that is ne...

It is you isn't it? There is still a lot of rum left, but I better go to sleep. To all writers with flair and panache! :sparkle:

Then you do not get pissed, you smile and applaud all the other for their great insight into the matter at hand. You congratulate yourself for having ...

Maybe you can help me... I have reread it and for the life of me I do not get it. The plot though should be clear for Javi at least. I do not understa...

Yeah, the story very much reminded me of your entry last year or the year before that. I kinda wish writers would keep their piss bags to themselves.....

Simpatico when someone is duct taped in a panic held on the back seat of a car tied and gagged...?!? It is not like the man goes easy on a speeding ti...

Que? Could someone explain to me why the woman is not in police custody? Why is the guy on the side of the road?

The plot is clear? I have no idea what is going on... except for the glittering of references, nights in white satin, moody blues, hell being paced, t...

Reminds me of Hanover, but very British... Another one of Jamal's perhaps. I liked it.

I do not know yet, I would still have to read most of the stories. Last year's stories were of exceptional quality though :p No, honestly, I feel it i...

I do not want to say anything of the sort. I do not think a poem is a documentary. The money changing hands might be irrelevant for the protagonist or...

I thought the filming was a reference to the ICTV security cameras which hang in areas where these kinds of actions take place. However it may also be...

Could also be, in any case the poem is rather carnal.

I think it is prostitution, but be it as it may, I really enjoyed this poem!

I like the surrealist atmosphere but too much weaving together of big, heavy words. Words like precipice and crystalline should be used only once in p...

Sent to Noble Dust and Hypericin :)

I am sorry for my questions... but ust would be the same as UCT? Even google does not want to answer me what ust is... :yikes: I still submit to @Nobl...

When are submissions due?

It depends on the specific crime, but I think in common law legalese this would fall under 'knowledge' or 'recklessness', a category of crime just bel...

The absolute cannot be simply universal because that would leave particulars as somehow unreal. It goes against the grain of the dialectic. In the log...

Ohhh never mind then... *shoves his papers back into the drawer from whence they came*...
