I like being able to discuss these things without
a) being called a freak/nerd
b) getting the other person upset and shouting at me :)

I'm not holding my breath either, but I really hope so. And I really believe that our acts today will have an effect on the future, somehow. Sometimes a big effect, sometimes just something small, but they do.

Striving and harbour, but I think I got the general meaning.

I love discussions like this
It's why I studied Philosophy.

yeah, me too
it's why I studied civil engineering....

I was saying to my mrs the other day that I really miss this sort of discussion, it's the sort of thing I used to do with mates at uni and stuff all day/night, and these days I only really get it on here.

At some LARPs, when people are drinking around a campfire early in the morning
I like to kick off debates about fate vs free will, and just watch people talk, chipping in here and there with counter arguments to keep things flowing.

I miss them a lot too
We had compulsory Phylosophy at school for 2 years (17 and 18 years old). I wanted to be an engineer, so I didn't study it any longer, but kept reading some good books.

Those 2 years we'd spend the day on the beach, singing and discussing about life and humanity. Great times.

well, we are all quite freaky and nerdy
I don't tend to get upset, unless someone is being absolutely wrong and won't accept it. In this sort of discussion it's hard to be dead wrong.

striving = working towards
harbour = have
:-)

Ta-ra
I had the meaning right!

Yep, and if someone gets upset I can just switch this thing off.

My friends were all a bit close minded, but I loved so much to make them think different, even if I wasn't really sure of what I was saying :P

nice work :-)
that's true

I don't tend to argue anyway. Been with my mrs for 6 years and we've never argued, we've had disagreements, but not what I'd call an argument.

Oh I've had arguments
My girlfriend likes to win such discussions, even when there can't be a 'winner'.

was talking about this with my mate the other day
I'd had a number of beers and jagers and spliffs and came to the conclusion that it's a result of being too laid back and too right :-D

:D
I don't argue about these things, as nobody can win. I get upset about more material things, I'm affraid.

I used to discuss with that crazy poet boyfriend I had (the one that stopped the cars) because he was far too pesimist without a reason.

I only occasionally argue with my mum
That's it.
