SHOW AND TELL

Folks there comes a time when one get’s f*cking bored talking about philosophy always.

I created this thread for people to talk about themselves in their likes and dislikes.

I consider myself somewhat of a social creature when I am not isolating myself.

( I’ll go first.)

Location: I live in the middle of the United States near cows.

Anybody who hates capitalists is a friend of mine. :slight_smile:

Hey man are you the Joker from Philosophyforums.com?

If so, I’m Epoche. You might remember me. You were telling me about your move to the wilderness in two years, if I remember correctly.

There you are! I was looking for you man.

Yeah I am that same nut.

Me and a couple of other banned heretics made our own forum apart from PF but that forum completely sunk so now I am here.

Other activities I like is:

Camping,Hiking through various barren wastelands and wildernesses, telling people off, fighting, hunting,fishing and going to parties where there is alot of women.

I also like art, reading about architecture, motor cycles, and debating philosophy. b[/b]

I like to increase strength and stability. That is all, basically…

Strength and stability?

Yes. All things increasing lifespan, health, power, intelligence, wisdom, foresight, etc.

Imagination, will, power, control, flexibility, adaptability…

I also spend a lot of time hiking, practicing Aikido, playing video games, defeating the forces of sobreity, going to the movies and sleep.

Location: Canada. It is only the second biggest country in the world, so that should be specific enough (wouldn’t want to confuse the Yanks :stuck_out_tongue:).

Occupation: Technically a student (of… Philosophy!) but I also fight forest fires (well, used to) and sell books to needlessly stressed people.

My name’s Scott. And I really don’t know.

Lol and Scott calls philosophers boring eh? You don’t know? Sounds like a lame excuse.


My name is caleb, i’m 19.

I’m a drawing major in college, hoping to teach college level drawing classes a persue a challenging life in art… if classical ever comes back.

I like movies like: The Last Samurai, Real Genius, Legends of the Fall, Tombstone, Thomas Crown affair, Troy, I Heart Huckabees, Green Street Hooligans, Tin Cup, Lucky Number Slevin, and almost all 007 movies.

I listen to everything, but too sum it up I like groups like Tears for fears, Ambrosia, Bread, Earth wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang, The Beegees, The Cardigans, and other genres like soul, alternative, new wave, reggae, ok damnit I like almost everything that isn’t that hard rock crap…or pop, or most of todays music, but I do like some pantera and manson… but only when I workout.

I have a bit of OCD. I can get consumed with something so bad I’ll do it every second, and I’ll do this in cycles sometimes. Write now, holy shit I have nothing consuming me… first time ever I think… but the closests would be Golf.

I love Golf, working out, some tennis, watching lots of movies, having deep conversations about nothing over coffee.

I’m a loyal person. I’ve only smoked cigars, and that’s as far as I’ve went with those types of things. I’m waiting til I’m 21 to drink.

I look like dierks bentley i’ve been told, and thats as far as you’re gonna get to a picture because I’m paranoid about some of you.

And well thats enough.

Good movie.

Great classic.

Always good.

Yeah you do… [-X

Cool movie.
