  • The sadness will last forever.
    Now I've heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    It goes like this
    The fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall, the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
    She tied you
    To a kitchen chair
    She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    You say I took the name in vain
    I don't even know the name
    But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
    There's a blaze of light
    In every word
    It doesn't matter which you heard
    The holy or the broken Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    I did my best, it wasn't much
    I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
    I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
    And even though
    It all went wrong
    I'll stand before the Lord of Song
    With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
  • Thanks to my One Tree Hill-loving sister, I automatically thought of this version even though I know it's by Leonard Cohen.


    Well, that, and the Leonard Cohen version makes me think of the Watchmen movie's sex scene, which was extremely awkward. So yeah.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    That's a good version too.

    See, I never wanted to know this; I don't want to know about people's relationship problems if I have to deal with drunk stupid fights like that.

    That's the problem with any sort of party kind of thing going on around a college environment. For a lot of these idiots, it's the first time they've ever drank. And not only do they not know when to stop, many of them who find a reason to get all butthurt over nothing (another cool trick alcohol performs) don't know how to control their emotions. 

    The Marine Corps was a lot like that at the barracks every weekend. I can't tell you how much babysitting me and others had to do, especially if they think hopping behind the wheel will solve the problem. You did the right thing there, keeping her from driving.  The silver lining for this sort of thing is whenever the person wakes up in the morning and recalls what happened the night before, they really feel like a complete jackass. And they should.

    Haha, my friend is complaining that Snow Leopard doesn't include vi as a text editor; and I reminded him about how Apple prides themselves on "accessibility" and "intuitiveness", two things that vi is entirely devoid of. 

    And my opinion on the matter is if it takes more than 10 seconds to learn how to use a text editor, any text editor, than it's not worth learning.

    ProfessorGator,
    You could say that. That is a situation this would apply to, but in a general sense, it's a response to a feeling that I've said something that's inappropriate for some reason or another.

    This is part of why I don't post as often as most people here. If I think I can't really contribute, I usually just sit on the sidelines and listen, both online and in person.

    Listening is good though, I think. It seems like a lot of conflicts boil down to people not being open to listening to what others have to say.  Plus, if you are not actually interested in hearing what other people say, how will you be able to learn what they need and how to be considerate towards them?

    I guess it is kind of hypocritical to say that when I am pretty much just interrupting stuff pointlessly here rather than listening. Still, I can agree that it can be tricky figuring out when to talk/post and when to listen.

    Actually, guys, can some other people go give No Bad Memes guy attention? He really to satisfy his attention whore deprivation.

    To be fair, the thread was locked.

    Although he could have just came here, started a new thread, and argued with us for a while. I mean, if he wants to tell us what Wrongy Wrongersons we are and have us actually respond and argue with him, like he clearly wants.

    I will remember this statement, and six months from now, write a long post about it, taking it completely seriously, and educate you on logical rules you already know about and are not attempting to follow.
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    He's throwing around all the cute logical fallacies and at the same time trying not to fall off that moral high horse of his

    This is quite a read

    It's also fun to acknowledge an opponent's arguments as correct, and then still claim you're right and not explain how.

    Heh, vi. I still use vim quite a bit for precision work, since that's the first Unix editor I learned, and that was in a day when there was no gedit or Eclipse.

    hahahaha holy shit

     Keep in mind that people in the third world are so bad off that they don't have time to contemplate the philosophical gravity of their existences or fates.

    wow

    This guy has never been more than 30 miles from home, has he

    He's comparing 3rd world people with mindless animals just because of the situation they're in, and elevating himself pretending to be compassionate about their plight in the meanwhile. 

    wow

    All deprivation has the physical potential for horrible suffering; if you are deprived of a piece of bubblegum, it isn't really the end of the world, but in the general sense, the desire to experience a simple pleasure going unfulfilled hundreds of times could lead to all kinds of bad: feelings of social isolation, feelings of ineptitude for failing to obtain any simple pleasures, or even starvation if what we're talking about is food.

    I note that you are all making insults, just like the insults Hitler used on the Jews. This is not conductive to rational debate/leavingsociety
  • Do you regularly force gifts upon people without any clue beforehand whether they will enjoy the gifts?

    Assuming you read this, all the time dude.

     It takes no energy and causes no suffering for you to not create a child, so without foreknowledge that the child will appreciate his life, why would you create it?

    People have kids because they want to have kids, because they think that having kids will make them happy. Of course, you suffer during life, and it is very possible that the child will, at the end of their life end up with, in their perception, more suffering than happiness.

    And then they die.

    After they die, they do not exist and cannot perceive their previous existence. Ultimately to themselves their lives have meant nothing. Several millennia or so from now the sun will expand, vaporizing the earth and, almost certainly, any trace of their ever having existed. Their lives will have been functionally erased entirely. Their suffering? Gone. Their joy? Gone.


    All of it smudged out and, ultimately, irrelevant.


    So why not have kids? It's a gamble sure, but you're playing with pennies.

    No, it is always depressing and means no children because it is ontologically impossible for someone to have different subjective reactions.

    I read some stuff by Camus once or twice and I'm an angsty 18 year old.


    I mean, I'm not an expert and I probably am waaay off the mark, but hey, i have an opinion and a worldview and i might as well express it.

  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    Well for us religious types, there's a grand scheme to all of it. The common ground here is not even 100, 50, 10, or even one year from now will any of us give a single shit about this particular discussion anymore.

    Maybe 6 months, but not a year. Definitely not a year.

    if someone's ever been rude to you, it's impossible that you've ever also been doing something wrong. Especially not when it happens multiple times with different people.

    Basically, there's never any reason to reflect on *yourself* or *your own* behavior when an online conversation goes south. Never!
  • re, that guy:

    both more entertaining and more philosophically sound.
