Philosophy: for people who need a degree but are completely talentless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A lot of people on here seem to be doing Philosophy degrees. |
||||||||
|

It makes no sense as a subject. At all. |

Hanky-panky-pology. |

I majored in philosophy at Harvard med school. They all thought I was fucking crazy. I would open a patient up then sit and wonder why I had done it for 38 hours. Then spent a further 4 weeks thinking about why the patient died while I was thinking. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I'd probably only get a third. I'm lazy like that. |
||||||||

it's true you might have been a bit of a nasty meany on that one deepspace. i know a few people who do not fit your description at all.... mind you i also know a few massive poncy twats who are in that field. :) |
||||||||

|
|
Genious....The whole leading to the same question remark... Why?.... Brilliant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aye, i may well have been. I've just been soured by a bunch of philosophy-studying twats who are into mescaline, leather coats and death metal. Anyway, i'm going on to do a fine art degree. IS there a more pointless, bullshit-filled area of study? |

Is it possible to have breakfast for supper? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I stand corrected. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes I eat corn flakes (or cold sore scabs as we called them in school) at night all the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You see, gentlemen, my question is: does breakfast consist of a class of foods, or the time that foods are consumed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
neither...it is to do with the ending of any period of fasting. Hence the name. The period of fasting is entirely up to the individual. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
deep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok then Lee.... but i still think, time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah, but it is assumed that the period of fasting occurs during sleep, and one breaks the fast when one wakes. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it is breakfast even if you work a night shift and eat at 6 p.m. - unless you eat lasagne. Because that's just crazy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry but I am right and you are wrong...end of discussion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Breakfast doesn't really have to follow a period of sleep...I know tons of people who have brekfast when they get home from work in the evening as they haven't eaten all day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it still has to do with the "time" you eat it. being either after sleep, or long periods of fasting... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How do you work that one out? You, yourself, are agreeing that breakfast can occur at any point of the day, therefore time becomes an irrelevant factor in the arguement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CRUNCHY NUT CORNFLAKES. There, sirs, is your answer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But when you say breakfast people immediately think of eggs and bacon and cereal and toast eaten in the morning after waking - that's the most obvious meaning. The more you argue against the conventional meaning of the word the less certain it becomes - until people lose the ability to communicate at all and they pick up rocks and start beating each other over the head oh the blood which is one of my primary arguments against philosophy, that it is an instrument of obfuscation and confusion rather than a path to enlightenment. |

Stupid westerners. We just call it food. |

|

lee, yes it does in a way, but i guess i dont feel like going in the details here. like you said it doesnt matter what time of day. but its still breakfast time! if i have to take my pills only after having gone through a fast. it wont matter what time of day, but there will still be a certain factor that will be able to tell me : "it's pill time!" |
||||||||

Nurse tells me when it's pill time. |
||||||||

your lucky you have one! |

Not when it's enema time. :-( |

Why do you think they call them "mounties"? |

gah. amatuer philosophers! leave it to the 'professionals', people. once they get it figured out they can just let us know the answers. and which questions we should ask. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that's just the attitude! "leave it to them"... pfff |

greek etymology of the word philo - love sophia - wisdom i have an interest in philosophy that is geared toward happiness / aiding people in their suffering, but not so much in philosophy that is purely academic / just trying to be clever :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used to work 11p-7a while in school, and you know what, i ate breakfast at 9 pm at night, bacon eggs and all. quite nice, no sun, no morning commute. |

Try Robert Anton Wilson - he fits that bill. |
