K.T. Time and again I have posted articles backing my position and explained how I go about ruling out things I think of as BS, I also use my own ability to observe the world around me and I am not going to pursue our discussion beyond that. You are starting to sound like my favorite socialist on this board, who decides to ignore everything that has gone before, ignores posts of others on the subject and just focus on one person to keep baraging with the same questions over and over. I just have no time for it. In the future, if you dislike what I post feel free to disent, but I already have two children to raise and teach, I can not afford the time to take on a third person.
By the way, using the "ad hominem" comments or the term erudite only serves to confuse people. Try just saying "bullshit" in place of ad hominem they are roughly the same in modern US english. While I don't know that you are Erudite, I know I am not. I have had a long and active life out in the real world and not only in academia.
I do have one question for you and this is not ment in any way as disparagement just honest curiosity and expressing my current opinons.
In my view a philosophy degree is basicly a degree in "My own Damn Opinion" No real substance to it, which is why I despised both the philosophy classes I have taken. Why get a degree in philosophy? It always seemed like a waste of time to me. Of course I prefer hard sciences and things that are more geared to prospering in my society and where I can have some concrete results at the end of the day.
I keep thinking back to Mel Brooks Movie, History of the World Part I, where they had, stand up philosophers [img]smile.gif[/img] With Mel Brooks playing a hilarious "Stand up Philosopher" [img]smile.gif[/img]
One last item I guess before I terminate this, I don't claim to know everything, and I do not expect everyone to agree with me. I will however post my opinions and post my sources when convenient to me. Im not going to sit and argue ephemeral philosophical concepts. Im not pulling my information out of my backside so please, forget any notion you may have that I just post to disagree for the sake of disagreement.
