We STILL need a philosophy forum

Yes, grumpa but does the depth of our thinking make us more, or less, equal?

Is a female deep thinker more equal to a male deep thinker than she is to another female whose depth of thought only broaches the shallows?

Just metaphysical solipsism, Grumppa and Galen.

a mite hard grumpa although I do agree.

micelf, I am afraid cogito ergo sum may mean that some on GN aren't!

We all do, MiceElf so why the objections raised on here? Some of us would like to debate from a philosophical stand point and learn more from each other, but it seems others not only don't want to (fine) but don't want others to (not fine). Puzzling.....

Since when have all been equal?

Cogito ergo sum. Does that mean that some on GN don't?

Good idea,
All men ( women). Are equal; just our views of the world differ.

Why would/should they?
I do not think I have read any philosophy with swear words in.
Has anybody else?
If we get the usual f words, is it showing too much emotion to be allowed in a philosophical discussion?

Why on earth wouldn't/shouldn't they?

Do philosophers swear?

That's the end of that philosophical discussion then!

Not really - you could be a grandparent at well under 30.

Is Gransnet an ageist concept?

We could debate the various forms of censorship - it's pretty active on here!

Ha ha, sure about the suggestion not about the original subject!
I think it must be the 'silly season'
Or too much white wine (home-made by a friend so organic without sulphites)

Off to the land of nod (or Nod)

PS Here's a philosophical thing to ponder overnight: no-one has the right not to be offended.

Now, really, toodle-pip. Sweet dreams

The original suggestion was that we have a philosophy forum. So anyone who thinks that's a good idea cannot, at the same time, be "not sure about the original suggestion". Can they? <goes to bed puzzled>

And what the fuck an MP's job has got to do with it, I don't know.

"It could - but people do have a habit of leaving the board and throwing their toys out of the pram if people don't agree with their opinions." (quoting janerowena)

No! People get upset, feel hurt, and go off to lick their wounds for a while.

Different!

I think it is a good idea too, not sure about the original suggestion.

I think it's a great idea to have a philosophy forum. I'm not sure why those who think otherwise are getting so steamed up about the suggestion.

Dearest anno could we have a discussion about 'knee-jerk'?

I am assuming you mean the metaphoric sense and not the physical?

My physical reaction is quite reasonable, my metaphorical one could be unpredictable.

With kind regards and warm thoughts

It could - but people do have a habit of leaving the board and throwing their toys out of the pram if people don't agree with their opinions.

It (almost) makes me realise how hard an MP's job must be at times.

Actually, I agree with Galen. It could be really amusing.
