It doesn't matter to me if you're going to push that 😁

You're telling me, Ida—where on earth have I landed? 😁
Everything here has just gone completely insane... 😉

Women hold the upper hand 🙂

I suppose I should attempt to contribute something of actual substance here myself...
😁

singing! 👍 👍

Ah, what a shame—but I guess you can't expect everything to go perfectly according to plan...

Lol, whatever... 👍 😁 I mean, sure, I can let it slide today, haha 😉

Anyway, this guy in the photo is huge 😁 I don't know his name, but he's always playing some convict role 😁

I feel like a little kid who just scored the jackpot on a massive windfall!😁 😁

ugh, I am actually going to lose my mind

Lord of the Rings
Bad Taste
Deliverance
Snatch
Romper Stomper

And honestly, there are probably another million movies just like these out there...😁

I don't have a single favorite song. There are just too many tracks that resonate with me to pick just one... If I ever find myself able to narrow it down, I'll be sure to post it here.😁

I am actually going to lose my mind 😁 😁

By steelstag4:

I'm dealing with the exact same thing.

You aren't alone in this.😁 Honestly, there is a massive number of people who bite their nails... and I mean really bad—to the point where they're practically eating half a finger or tearing up the cuticles...😛
It's pathetic.

I honestly haven't the slightest clue—people claim it’s the exact same type of addiction, and even argue that kicking the habit is tougher than just quitting cigarettes. Personally, I don't see much to object to... at the end of the day, it's all in your head.😁

Steven Ruiz said:Recycled toilet paper is just toilet paper made from recycled pulp. It’s a bit of a joke—honestly kind of a scam—but apparently, it’s supposedly better for the environment... if you believe that sort of thing.
😁

Stop messing around... 😁 😁

You just wipe it all up, toss it into a bag, and once you’ve gathered enough, you take it back to the local grocery store where you bought it for recycling.😁
As a little reward, you get some recycled
.😁

Seriously, what even is that??

Yeah, sure—your face is probably just beet red from the freezing cold...

I mean, why not just burn wood for heat instead?😁 😉

Barack Obama:

Look, I’m not saying your approach isn't valid... but why on earth do you think it is?

Well... since you're pressing me on this... here is my stance—and it's "right" only in my own eyes... because I believe it's the right thing to do to step up for someone when I see they're struggling... because my conscience demands it... because it actually feels good... and so on.

Whether this is "correct" really just circles back to that whole debate about objective truth versus personal truth—everyone sees things through their own lens, including this conversation—because no matter what I say, you could always just turn around and ask me why I think I'm right.

Blue Eyes said:That isn't quite my position... my position is that I won't lift anyone up out of mere pity... though I might lift them for other reasons...

By the way, I am lifting myself up... but that isn't even the point of this thread... you all took things far too literally (well, most of you)... my example regarding "lifting" was purely figurative... the real question here is where that impulse comes from—that drive in people to show respect, to care, to express compassion toward others... Jimmy claims it's consciousness... someone else argues it's humanity, but where does humanity originate, and what exactly compels us to act humanely?

Sophia Fox38, this is a philosophy forum, so please—try to push yourself a bit and actually engage in some deep thought... we aren't here to cast blame on one another for having differing viewpoints... rather, we are here to take the questions at hand and use them to scrutinize our own stances—to ask why we chose them in the first place, why we believe they are correct, and what foundational forces produced them...

Otherwise, go find the religion or politics forums...😉

It isn't just about pity; I simply believe it is the right thing to do to help someone who is barely standing, and I have absolutely no issue with that. Fine, maybe I exaggerated a little because I didn't particularly care for your post about pity.
But don't go thinking I'm going to lift up every single person I see, because that's not how it works. It's simple: I look at someone and decide, "okay, this person can barely walk, I'll step up."
No thanks to the politics boards—I'll pass—and as for religion, I might swing by occasionally just to argue with Bradley Fisher20 😁 😉

Blue Eyes said:If there is one thing I truly despise, it is pity.

We offer pity to others... in this instance, we pity them because they are elderly or physically limited... 🙄but isn't aging just a "natural" part of life?

Pity is incredibly patronizing. It isn't empathy... it’s an arrogant stance taken by someone who views themselves as being on a higher material plane... deciding to feel sorry for someone they deem "inferior"...
Do you honestly believe that is the "right" way to act?

I think you are seriously overreaching here!!
You despise pity? You call it patronizing? You have every right to get up from your seat for a woman who can barely stand while holding a small child... How dare I assume my gesture of giving up my chair is somehow "correct"???
I have a right to my seat just as much as she does, don't I? So fine—let her stand, who cares!! Is that really your philosophy?
🙄

I don't stand up for the elderly or the disabled, does that mean I don't care about anyone else?

Tragic.
