Hello all

i gotta keep that motto. been a bit wayward with my attacks on all. feels like everybody wants to fight to prove their right. i just wanna get back to some kind of common sense we've seem to have lost again. as always. we get so caught up in the competition of the race we forget where the finish line is.
 
Welcome!

We promise not to make any Brocken Back Mountain jokes...well, not too many of them anyway..

Enjoy the ride!

.
Ha, enjoy the ride, I get it...and yes, thank you. I have adopted Mount Brocken as a result of my fascination with Germanic Paganism and it's shadowy reflection of Christianity.
 
shadowy reflection of christianity? i'll have to look into this matter
Read C. S. Lewis' essay Myth Became Fact, where he suggests that all myths are shadows of real things and not merely some creation of the imagination.

A person can pretend a myth is a fact, but that does not make it a fact. There is a distinction.

But that person would is making that assumption based on not only the supremacy of the senses, but the fiction of the mind. But, if the mind is nothing but fiction, save what the senses tell us, then anything we say about the senses is fiction as well; which is inconceivable. Therefore, myth is a shadowy reflection of really existing things.

There is a difference between a hope and the content of the mind. If the content of the mind is questionable, so is our interpretation of the senses and the way we interpret the systems about how sensual input functions.

I would recommend starting a thread here;

Well see good sir. As long as I am respected and my views are not seen as some attack against a person as opposed to an attack on an idea or system of ideas.

This really key MB.

Please elaborate on individual effort and material inequality. Just what more does a person deserve than the return of wages?
 
Well wages, or income, is nothing more than what someone makes. I don't expect anything more. It is the content of this wage or income and the basis of its determination.

====================================

"respected" ? a socialist and former Nazi ?

:fu:
No Nazi at all...I had an interest in Franco.


I bet you did.... funny, spaniards sure as fuck don't.
Well that is irrelevant at this point.

The memory of innocent spaniards killed at the hands of a bloodthirsty dictators is actually quite relevant.
