Geez, I put in an emoji! It's even called "joke." It's that humor thing - the good one. You know. More seriously, I think talking about "typical male ...

Not sure exactly where to go from here. The whole "Games People Play" approach is not one I've ever felt was very helpful for me. I don't think I do p...

First of all, I'm not upset or offended. I really do think it's funny. But I'll say it again, this isn't a thread to discuss men/women issues. It was ...

Yeah, those men. Ha, ha, ha, ha. LOL. So funny. Ha, ha, ha. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oh, wait. It's not Agustino is it? No hugs for you.

Is Susan @"ArguingWAristotleTiff"? If so, {{{{{hug}}}}

Feelin pretty calm. I knew you would have good ideas. :meh: :death: :joke: :broken: :smile: God, I hate emojis.

I'm in the middle of "For a Few Dollars More." It's really a good movie. Well made, funny, exciting, moving. I've always liked Clint Eastwood. I remem...

I wonder, if I were a person looking for help to find books that might give me insight into depression and everyone ignored my request and went off ta...

Not offended at all. Just enjoying the irony. I think my particular idiosyncratic understanding has taken up enough room in the discussion. It has str...

It's really fun and interesting to read all these posts. I don't disagree with any of them but each is presented from a different perspective, obvious...

I downloaded it. I have a long list of stuff to read, but you make it seem like so much fun. I'll add it to the list.

Yeah. Can't help it. Sometimes it just has to be McDonalds. I used to eat there when hamburgers were $0.12 and cheeseburgers were $0.13. It was always...

Wait, I thought you were the Waffleologist.

You're doing it again.... telling me my lack of a metanarrative is my metanarrative.

Now we’re even. One condescending response each.

Sometimes people just don't get each other.

Tracing back, this started with a discussion of my way of presenting what may or may not be called my metanarrative. I said I use a "poetic," "impress...

I do love Lao Tzu, but that's mostly when I'm feeling good. Philosophy doesn't work for me when I'm depressed. There a lots of people on the forum who...

I think you've expressed it exactly - sometimes what I write resonates with others, sometimes it doesn't. Just to be clear, this is not an intellectua...

"Heart of Darkness" is my favorite book, and Marlow is my favorite character in literature, but I've never read "Lord Jim." I've been thinking it's pr...

This is clearly an argument by religious zealots that is descending into vitriol and insult. I'll flag it so Baden can do his thing.

Congratulations. I found that by the time my youngest was 20, the magic was gone but the satisfaction remained.

I agree.

Several people have talked about this in a general sense, but I don't think anyone has expressed it directly - humans are born with an innate, genetic...

Forgot to answer your question. I don't think you get a choice. Most people want to be close to others. To touch. I take a philosophical approach, not...

Hi Danny. The only complete, unconditional, uncomplicated love I've ever felt is that I have for my children. It turned on like a switch the minute th...

I deal a lot with environmental regulations. There are a lot of different ones out there. Often, each state has it's own and I work in a number of sta...

I guess what it comes down to is I like people. I like hanging around with them and talking with them. There aren't many who aren't interesting if you...

Actually, I've only been in a couple of Waffle Houses, and they've been fine. A bit Dennyish. Ok waffles, but nothing to go out of your way for. On th...

Let's see, that's either "crazy like a lobster" or "crazy like an eggplant." My French is rusty.

Didn't even see that in the list. As for the music you linked, to call that folk of any sort is .... I can't think of a word. I'll stick with country ...

Have you ever been in a Waffle House?

Je pense que non. Vous est fou.

He's more folk than country, which by the way you left out. What the furgle is "neofolk?"

Ah, country music. The most philosophical music of all. Lyle Lovett.

The course of politics has always been errant. It is unlikely failure will be catastrophic. I grew up during an era when failure really would have bee...

Little known fact, @"Bitter Crank" actually is the most eloquent and well educated person on the internet. He can help you out if you need it.

Yes, although I'll word it a bit more carefully - I believe that instigation of qualification restrictions on voting will inevitably be used as a mech...

You are aware, are you not, that this has been implemented in the US in the past to keep black people from voting in the south? Here's a link to a pos...

Well, it was in no way an ad hominem attack. Not even an insult. What it was was an intentionally misleading characterization of your position intende...

Requirements to run for President of the US: 35 Years old Natural born citizen Resident for 14 years Those seem reasonable to me. Let the voters, or "...

Unfortunately for you and those like you, when Lincoln said "of the People, by the People, and for the People" he included those you consider garbage.

Yes, well, I certainly don't see it that way, even though I am (heterosexual) and married and have children. I'm surprised the moderators haven't dele...

I acknowledged my initial response to @"praxis" was unnecessarily snotty. That's why I followed up with the other one. I wonder, what would constitute...

It's not the number, it's the fact that I remembered it. That I thought it was worth putting on the list. That I thought to write the list in the firs...

I think this is historically inaccurate. I don't believe Schrodinger spoke English. But - since I haven't actually checked, I guess you could say he b...

Thank you. I'd be happy to meet also. I've enjoyed our conversations on the forum. I think your response underlines a point I was trying to make when ...

I came back to make a response which was a bit less snotty. In my experience, knowing someone, seeing them as they really are, is more poetry than pro...

I think that just shows a lack of imagination, vision, on your part. Seeing people as they are is a skill not everyone has.
