I agree with Vera Mont. Could be due to the ineptitude of Lawrence, could be due to the ineptitude of the wild thing, could be anything that he never ...

No doubt. But I may have insulted the author. I feel bad about that.

Leave it to the philosophers to decide that.

Yes.

In any way it's spelled I don't can't tell one person's apart from another's.

Thanks.

You immediately jumped into nonsense in the first paragraph, explaining it with more detailed nonsense in the third. Solipsism excludes community. Sol...

I find no disturbing tense changes. But then again I ain't a native speaker of English. My grammar comes from textbooks. True, the author used the "ha...

You're right. It was dirty of me. here's the real constructive criticism: The story was good, and it was believable. A nice picture of a county fair. ...

I sorta liked the story, with a few little improvements that would have helped it a great deal. 1. Mother appears at the exit strangled and dead. 2. K...

:rofl: The Doors had a quasi-prose song, called the "Lizard King".

You are both right. I mix the two up very easily and always. I am bad with names and with recognizing feces.

Obviously, they're a team. Is the dog Lassie, Tin-Tin, Fred Flintstone, or Laika?

I recognize a few people on this photo. The front row caucasian with the beard is Jim Morrison of The Doors. The Black man on your right (as you face ...

Them fr'ing wr'ing forums.

But nobody got destroyed. People were changed from bad to good, and good to good. I don't understand the ending either. It is at best ambiguous. Evil ...

Depends on your pov. If you think someone else regards you as an illusion, then you are not mad. If you, yourself, regard yourself as an illusion, the...

Well, the fact is that I know very little. I haven't progressed to the ultimate knowledge, that is, to be able to truthfully claim I know nothing; but...

In a psychiatric sense, yes; in a philosophical sense it is a false statement.

Thank you, Agent Smith! I always bow to your immense amount of lexical knowledge, far superior to mine.

"Atheism Equals Cosmic Solipsism" As far as I know, solipsism is a philosophical thought that proposes that only the self exists, and its experiences ...

Possibilitism: in an infinite universe every possible state of matter and affairs is bound to exist. Potentialism: In a finite space anything possible...

I have a hard time understanding this. He is saying he will have the big O two, or three times? (i.e. "come") The beginning of the poem was happy, car...

Funny you would publish this. There is a very strong parallel between this poem and how our relationship with my wife (before marriage) developed. The...

Vera, above my quote is the entire opening post. I only found references by the Opening Poster to professions, to some character details and to social...

Through their actions. And why do you take it as given that I don't believe their self-professed identities? Did I say or imply that? Please point me ...

I think religious identities, special status and such are all socially imbued on a person. So there is a meaning to them beyond the silliness of being...

Please don't put explosives under the police station building. If that's what you meant.

How can you memorize all these gods? The poetry and prose of the baroque era in my country and culture, Hungary, was replete with names of Greek gods ...

I think the ancients were heavily leaning on differently evolved mythologies specific to their tribes separated by large distances in time and physica...

Here you did not say NOT ALL MEN. But I take your adjustment in the wording.

Pygmy? I knew it was Gypsy but I did not know it's Pygmy. Pig me.

I'm a pussycat. I'm afraid of many things, but mostly of heights and peril associated with being high up. Including standing on a kitchen chair to cha...

Tongue twister: "Pick me, Pigmy, to kick me, Pigmy."

The best way to cure vertigo is to go on a cruise or simply on a boat. (Where to go, when you got vertigo?) The trick is to line up your body so that ...

Maybe it did not hit him on the chest, but took off his arm or leg or some other non-vital tissue. I liked the story. Finally!!!! A story that read li...

Okay, I'm totally spent now.

If some of us could only put our minds to it.
