EDIT: I thought this might be a nice quote to keep in mind when reading this. Aristotle: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Hi All, I am going to give a different interpretation to what is come here and I don't think it will be...

Thanks, I am currently doing a little overview of philosophy myself via Squashed Philosophers (and am in the middle of human all to human, and Foucault) as i like my first port of call to always be the original source rather than what people have said about xyz philosophy. But once I have...

My wife who is a much better photographer than me took this photo of bella that i thought I would share.

I know, in my last post I mentioned I wanted the link so I could see if a constitution (as in the idea in general/not a cut and paste job of the US one) would be a good thing for my country or not.

Thanks will read over time. Not sure if i want a constitution or not in my country. For the most part common law and legislation has worked well but with an increasingly hetrogenius society it might be a good idea while everybody is still playing together nicely :) .

Yer I figured you might not like Keyne (I dont like some of his stuff either and was really only being facetious). In any case would you be able to direct me to the constitutional boundries of the government in relation to fiscal policy (out of interest only, and only if you have the time, I am...

Oh i forgot to make a second point. States around the world have seniorage, that is that the face value of the printed money outweights the cost of making the money and thus states literally make a profit off printing money. All states that is except the US which makes a lose on the 1 cent...

Ah but Keyens is our saviour is he not ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynesian_economics I don't know I used to be a free market economist, but i still think it is worth considering whether slightly stronger and better regulation might be useful. Our banks have always being relatively...

Didn't say it wasn't the government (hence my statement that it was overly tight monetry policy - which at the time was governemnt policy), just not what he said it was and not for the reason he said it was (I think you will find that this supports your no regulation arguement better than the...

Yes the OP is missing something but it is long and complex. I suggest reading the following book which gives an excellent first exposure to basic economics and is a good launching pad for understanding stimulus packages...

Rewind....did you say you have a dog called Cujo. I don't know if that is awesome or disturbing. Though a rabies free Cujo would be very cute ;)

No Pandora loves!! Bella. Pan used to be very clingy to us but since we have had the puppy we rarely see her. They sleep together, dig together, play together, and do everything else together. We really needed to have the two as beagles are pack animals and do not like to be alone. Pan will go...

2 more beagles and i have my very own pack..take that rabbits

Hi All, Just got a new 12 week old purebred beagle puppy. This is a link to pictures of her and her sister. Her name is bella and the older puppy, who is a 1 year old beagle x cocker spaniel is named pandora. http://www.cgalliance.org/forums/album.php?albumid=12 All comments about how...

No worries. Still reading this thread and really like that you have put so much thought into it. I like the fact you have considered what you should do and what impact you expect it to have. Just in passing Linkin Park FTW DISC FLT... it is a psychological abomination ;)

I read the title and thought someone had died. I don't know if that makes the request sadder or not ;) but if we could go PS3 v xbox I would love to help :)

Hi faith, Nice to have you here and welcome. Please feel free to have a look around at the different forums here that might interest you, including the ice-box which has info on CS. See link below. I don't know much about CS but I am sure someone will post here or maybe the info is in the...

I wonder whether materialism and Christianity are so directly opposed. I mean at the end of the day we all have to admit that God does not by pass the material to reveal himself to us. Rather, we perceive God as a function of the material, our thoughts, our logic, our experience are all...

QFT. Though i still think that materialism has an answer to both your and my arguments. If there is nothing beyond the material, then the only 'truth' that matters is that which leads to greater adaption to ones environment (what ever that may mean). Yes and the people I have met like this...
