I was going to ask for an example but I had a quick look and found this: Doesn't sound much like 'surface' work to me...but what do I know. The articl...

Now you're talking. La Serenissima :cool:

Ah yes, 'The Best of Times Ballad' :up:

:rofl: So most of all TPF short stories, then?

That could be interesting, given continual debates surrounding what constitutes a 'true' interpretation. I haven't read Sontag but note that she wrote...

Aw. Come on. Really? Your super-de-luxe winning 4-part format was far from the usual. Now you're just showing off and basking in past glory :razz: Sti...

:grin: My fault for spreading the word all over the place. Well, at least nobody can now plead ignorance :wink:

Now I do. Thanks to @"jamalrob": Short Stories, here:

Yes. But I'm never sure if comparing levels of hardship is always helpful. So many times I hear people say they shouldn't complain because others in t...

I didn't expect to hear that from you. But yes. This war. So overwhelming and shocking. And yet, some amazing stories of a teen writing her diary in t...

OK, thanks to @"jamalrob": Go to the Short Stories and click on Start a New Discussion, or click Start a New Discussion and select the category Short ...

I understand that real-life concerns take over, especially in Moscow! Also, perhaps creativity is seen as inconsequential or not as meaningful. Perhap...

The Symposium: Short Stories. Glad to see this is now open for new comments or threads, thanks @"jamalrob" To take my mind off or on reality, I starte...

Glad to see this is now open for new comments or threads, thanks @"jamalrob" To take my mind off or on reality, I started wondering about how some peo...

:up: I'm told that ''Right back at ya!" in French is "Retour à vous!" C'est vrais? Might come in useful if ever I need to wear a negotiator's hat :win...

Thank you. I'll bookmark it and listen later :cool: It might give some hopeful perspective to all of this... But doesn't it kinda show what I mean? It...

Your eyes are clouded. Your vision distorted. Your 'So which is it?' questions ridiculous. I've no more to say to you.

The guy lies and misrepresents others' positions all the time, using sarcastic aggression to do so. Carried along by his own apparent obsessions; to s...

Mutual provocation perhaps. Ain't that the way... But @"Isaac" has repeatedly posted misrepresentations. Even if he has made relevant points, this is ...

Yes, there are a few posts where Christoffer answered questions as to solutions to end this war. A dream of sorts that flies as gung-ho in the face of...

Again and again, you misrepresent. You choose an opponent, like @"Christoffer" as an example of 'people playing out Top Gun fantasies...' calling this...

Thanks for the reply. Best wishes. Enjoy your break :smile:

To clarify. I am not in the business of post quality control. I wouldn't know where to start, even if I wanted to. That is the job of the mods. I don'...

I haven't fully digested this article but thought it might interest a few: Vladimir Putin sits atop a crumbling pyramid of power by Vladimir Sorokin P...

Thanks again for sharing relevant information so clearly. It helps me better understand.

Thanks for editing your post. The fog of war, eh?

:smirk:

I think I've made my point of view clear. Did I agree with you :chin: That can't be right!

Indeed.

You need to read carefully what has been said and not take things out of context and misrepresent.

Re: ''brave, brave citizens''. Those are your words and not mine. My original long post, here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/65816...

So very true. Unfortunately. The mentality is already there, it just needs the right conditions. I don't see this being stopped anytime soon...

Thanks for keeping up the good work :sparkle:

Yes :100: But I don't think I've ever heard you swear before! *** The exchange I had following that outburst: I ignored but possibly should have tackl...

That is unfortunate but not really what is happening in this thread, I don't think. I hope @"Isaac" answers my questions. *** You are a human with an ...

@"Isaac" What exactly do you mean by 'wearing one's heart on one's sleeve' in this context? Where has anyone suggested that you need preface every par...

That's easy to say @"Wayfarer" - can you point to a particular problem? It's not easy to fix if only a general complaint. Have done. Unfortunately, so...

I hope not for decades. I get the impression, I think from @"jamalrob" that they are pretty much like family to each other. There is a closeness. Many...

A pleasure to share thoughts and care. With love :heart: The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (Lyrics) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oT57tjz9...

A silent moment. :pray: :victory: :sparkle:

Returning to silence. :pray: :victory: :sparkle:

Well said.

Yeah, me too. I often leave things unsaid but am always glad if someone asks me to clarify. Thanks for that. The current situation is frightening, no ...

Thanks. From the 80s to the present, I'm pretty much ignorant of pop music. Visuals can enhance the listening experience. I am thinking of the discuss...

What is it that frightens you? The current situation or what is being said on the forum? What is happening in Ukraine and beyond is horrendous. Civili...

I'm thinking of those men forced to nod their heads in obedience to their Master. Listening to fellow Russians' condemnations, they might be spurred t...

It is for some.

Thanks for posting this here. I no longer participate in that thread. It was worthwhile and helped give context but has turned a bit nasty. I've been ...

OK. Back to work. I suppose... Stay safe :sparkle:

Well, that would be because they were feart of your big gun :gasp:
