Quote from: The Good Reverend Roger
tell me, friends, when was the last time you had an original thought?
Here is another problem, though... how do you even know when you are having an original thought? Suppose I grew up in Amish country, lived in the same farmhouse my whole life and saw the same people every day...if I started thinking really wacky things (compared to what I was taught), I could be fairly certain that it was MY OWN psychosis, and no one else's influence.
But we are constantly bombarded by information--either through TV, movies, the Internet, traveling to other places, changing jobs; life in general. These experiences are constantly shaping and influencing our minds, whether we like it or not. Is it really possible to have our "own" thoughts? Is this an original thought? Probably not ... I wouldn't be surprised if this creeping unease manifested in my subconscious due to something I read/heard somewhere.
Or am I just being paranoid? :shock: Discuss. :shock:
Quote from: Velvet JesusOr am I just being paranoid? :shock: Discuss. :shock:
There is no longer any such thing as paranoia. It simply does not exist.
As for whether your thoughts are your own, the INCEPTION of an idea is irrelevant. You should be able to discard useless/wrong ideas by critical thinking, and be left with that which benefits you.
After all, nobody asks you to be a creative GENIUS, just to think for yourself.
Whattya think this is, MENSA?

The first thing I saw when I arrived at this board was a complaint that it was slow.
I never said it was a bad thing... pretty soon you'll have more posts than anyone...
anyway, it's good that you're posting so much, your sermons are amazing

Quote from: Slartibartfastbtw, what does your avatar mean? What do the letters say?
They say, "Hi! I'm going to kick your ass...and get away with it!"
The picture isn't very clear at that size, but it is a policeman waving a pistol.
Hehe...
Danger! Cops At Work!
say what now??? you want to be top poster??? you have to fight me and zenji for the title! (damn zenji and his haiku's... hehe)...
actually yer prolly gonna have the title at this rate... I been here forever and this is all I got....
I gave up on keeping up with y'all long ago... Then again, I post regularly to four separate message boards, so I'm getting stretched a little thin these days.
traitor!!
I've always hated forums myself.... this is the only one I'm on..... I miss the old days of dialing up to BBS's.... damn I'm old school.... *hugs my old 800 baud modem*
spoon: i'm missing vt100, vt110 ... sys64738 ... ati-commands and instant booting these days.
phantom pope (told t0be old)
Most forums are simply too uptight...
They start whining when you dare to go off-topic, swear, troll, say something that might be found offensive if you put it in a certain context, fluff, start threads in the wrong forum,...
This is why I stay away from most forums. All the whining going on there...

Hah! 150/300 bps, HALF-DUP!!!, dumb terminal...1984.
It DID have a thermal printer, though...
btw.... I collect classic computers and relates stuff..... so if you've got any REALLY old stuff layin around that still works..... lemme know...
I wish I still had my old commodores.
Ah... childhood.
I miss my old Commodore VIC-20... *sniff*
Quote from: SheckyI miss my old Commodore VIC-20... *sniff*
Hehe...I still have my Timex Sinclair (ZX81) with TAPE DRIVE and THERMAL PRINTER and a 1K MEMORY UPGRADE PLUG IN!
Mwhahahahahahahahaha!
Quote from: Velvet JesusHere is another problem, though... how do you even know when you are having an original thought?
I hate this! Did I really come up with the stuffed Stimpy doll with a scratch-n-sniff butt all by myself, or did I hear somebody else mention it when I wasn't listening? :D
I still have my commador and it works.
what a pity.... I upgraded my 386 to a p120... which I still have... the power supply floppy drive and cd drive are about a decade old now...
but that's nothing compared to a ZX81 however...
bumped, because I still have a Commodore 64 in perfect working order with 2 floppy drives and a dot matrix printer.

I want to know what Roger's avatar really did say back then.
Sssbella would know.
Actually, I don't know. Sorry.
The OP was made in Jan of 03 and I didn't arrive here until Aug of 03.
Ah. My bad.
Plus, I have the memory of a gold fish.
Which explains why I once went to work in my slip.
That sounds Enrico-tastic!
Hunger!
