Yep....dumbasses. Maybe next time they'll read the "Watch Overhead Power Generators" sign more carefully.

Is that not the great struggle? I'm not sure my lack of belief is any more correct than the Pope's (asssumed) absolute belief.

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher of the late 19th century who challenged the foundations of traditional morality and Christianity. He believed in life, creativity, health, and the realities of the world we live in, rather than those situated in a world beyond. Central to Nietzsche's philosophy is the idea of "life-affirmation," which involves an honest questioning of all doctrines which drain life's energies, however socially prevalent those views might be. Often referred to as one of the first "existentialist" philosophers, Nietzsche has inspired leading figures in all walks of cultural life, including dancers, poets, novelists, painters, psychologists, philosophers, sociologists and social revolutionaries.

The most depressing Philosopher. He started the trend of Nihilism...followed by intellectuals who saw through society but instead turned out to be well educated, emo, pseudo intellectuals who had a depressing personality and a even more depressing existence.

He made some good observations but the guy was whino and a cynic of heroic porportions.

You're an exception then.

Has anyone ever told you your user name is horribly used out of context.
I suggest a name change.

I am partial to the name "Noodles" and "Bubbles" but those are more humorous names.

How about "Semblance"

No semblance of hope for humanity.

That is proved false by simply opening ones eyes to what is right in front of them. Sight is communication & awareness is knowledge.

#1 is plainly ridiculous.

#4 is terrorism revisited.
 
LOL, Sharky your sig reminds me of a book I've read called 'The Secret Diary of God'. In it God encounters Freud who, after extensive psycho analysis, proves to God that he in fact does not exist. Bloody hilarious book.

Hey Natalie - how 'bout Brandy, Mandy, Sandy, Candy or any of those other popular cheerleader names? ;)
