Hey, you went there...I never did. I didn't even respond when you did. I never could be bothered with ad hominems.

So if you have anything you want to say, you can say it.
Please just go away…go right away….as far away from me as possible. Preferably forever. And stop reminding us all that you hate being called out on your own self authored BS

Just don’t ever dare say you believe life has no meaning, or that it is meaningless…because if you dare have an opinion ..you will be a bad bad person, a very unhappy person…you will become a monster.


What a load of shite. Seriously!


The irony is, life on earth is nothing more that a crude exhibition of Frankenstein and his Monsters….so it’s kudos to Henry …for those amazing observations …someone give that guy an Oscar.
Is there not something, maybe quite a simple something ,you can articulate a belief in?
All I’m saying is that I have the opinion that life for sentient beings is not a good idea. It’s my philosophy that life is not worth the price we pay for it, in pain and suffering….I have concern for this, I do not think it’s worth being alive for. It concerns me that people and animals have to suffer.

But that’s a sin to have concern, it’s seen as bad, and monstrous, and it’s seen that I must be very unhappy to have concern for suffering creatures.


How dare I have concern for the pain and suffering that is part and parcel of life. Oh that’s right, I must be grateful for my suffering, I must love suffering with all my heart, because fucking JESUS is going to come again and make it all better.

Oh Christ what an absolutely insane asylum this planet is for blessing it with thinking and talking apes.
I agree with you as far as your vision goes. But there is another question: bearing in mind that this world is full of suffering , why do people often choose to stay alive? I mean, what is it that keeps many of us us willing to do something or other?

BTW not many people still believe in the myth of Christ. You may feel safe to express post-Christian philosophy in this forum: serious philosophers have done so.

how dare I discuss the idea that I believe life for sentient creatures is not a good idea

You don't discuss, you proclaim melodramatically and get miffed cuz folks call you out on your performance.

You won't discuss becuz you have no undergirding, no philosophy, to your proclaimations, and you have no undergirding becuz you don't really believe what you assert.

You're a half-assed method actor, the reviews are poor, and you're upset cuz the audience finds you mediocre.

Some do so. Others pursue and make their own meanings for themselves and try to empower others to make their own meanings.
If someone truly believes life is meaningless then she eats the Drano or she lies, cheats, steals, and murders her way to the perceived top of heap. (cuz satisfyin' base appetite is all she has).

She won't be lookin' to make her own meaning cuz all meaning, to her, is meaningless. She won't be helpin' others cuz, to her, that's just make-busy work. (like diggin' holes and fillin' in 'em in, over and over).

No, the true nihilist suicides or becomes a predator.

Why would only base desires exist in a nihilist? Why would empathy or longing for love necessarily be absent? Why would the social desires necessarily be absent?

One can think that murdering one's way to the top is meaningless, and would if one were a nihilist. But you allow that a nihilist might pursue desires in that area. Why not in others?

Ok, I concede… I have no defence against your relentless bashing of my character. Everything you have said is true, there, are you happy now, you big gobbling turkey beak…You get sick pleasure in making someone like me feel bad for reacting to your bad.

That’s really noble of you.

I’ve already informed you that I care not for responses or an audience. What care do lions have for the protests of sheep.

Just keep pretending your winning at the game of life, if that’s your syrup that gets you through the day. But nothing matters here, we’re all going to die in the end.

Twat, you came back didn’t you. Why, because you are still a pathetic child, an adult child who still has huge separation anxiety who pines and yearns endlessly for it’s invisible non existence parent.

Seems to me: the true nihilist will see her longings as nuthin' but appetite. Love? Just a desire for sex or an impulse to think warmly of someone. In the first, it's an itch to be scratched; in the second, just some primal tribal instinct that she has no use for.


One can think that murdering one's way to the top is meaningless, and would if one were a nihilist. But you allow that a nihilist might pursue desires in that area. Why not in others?

I allow for killin' cuz it's utterly rational in an amoral Reality to eliminate the competition. But love, empathy? Of what use are they to the nihilist?

You might note: my description of the true nihilist is nearly synonymous with that of the sociopath.

Your comments are disgusting.

You are the ultimate predator when you eat a defenceless animal. Just because it gives you a moment of pleasure. You think you have the right to just take its life. You think it’s ok to take the life of an animal. You just take it, because you can, it’s utterly disgusting.

Lions don't cry about the sufferin' of the world: they eat the weak.

Sheep bleet and get et.

You're neither. (and you're also not a nihilist).

Why do people choose to stay alive is because they have no other choice, they already exist. What’s the alternative?
To take a sharp kitchen knife to the gugula vein….and what would that cause, oh yeah, more horror and suffering. It’s just the gift that keeps on giving. Once you are alive you are not choosing to live. You are life.

Yes, you can choose to die, once you are born, but you cannot choose to be born, so there is no one choosing to stay alive.

Let’s talk about predatory behaviour shall we…American brainwashed bimbos who think it’s ok to own a gun.

Yeah, life’s pretty sweet…you really are fucking clueless.

There is a big wide world outside of America. Just in case you didn’t notice. Americans are the laughing stock of the world especially here in Europe.

Lions cry. So do elephants,. They just don’t talk about it, seriously you have a very distorted view about reality. But it’s ok as long as your ok jack.
