With that comment: you do not know the history of philosophy, or Kierkegaard!

You know in your research of Existentialism did you not come across the Nietzsche quote 'It is better to know nothing than half-know many things'. I'm just not sure you know anything.

No, I did not come across it in my existentialism research because Nietzsche came before the existentialists. (If your brain was not full of half-known things , then you would probably have know that).
Bet you don't know where he wrote it or what he meant by it, do you?
I did come across it in my Critical Thinking class, though.
You ought to know that Kierkegaard and Nietzsche were founders of idea that were later associated with existentialism, but were never called existentialist in their lifetimes.

If your brain was not full of half know things you would know that "existentialism" was not a word used until around 1940 when those identifying the intellectual history of the early 20thC attached the word to Heidegger. But that was nothing more than retrodiction. The real credit goes the the formal philosophy of Phenomenology whose chief proponent was Husserl, from which existentialism grew.

So , it seems you are an example of a person that half-knows one or two things.

You are babbling. Read it back to yourself. You are not making grammatical statements.

You are talking gibberish.

DO you mean 'may' instead of 'many' ?

You are funny. It's like you don't know you are talking bullshit.
Use your brain for a second.
Don't you think I do not know my own qualifications and abilities?
Do you somehow think that I would accept that you magically knew more about myself than I did?

You need some help with your English!
What is your first language?
In English it does not make sense to call someone "an opinion", nor does it make sense to ask 'what did Kierkegaard do to people".
You would only ask that of someone who did not give a person a choice.
You can say what did Hitler do to people.
This all makes me think you are either not an English speaker or have serious cognitive problems.

Chaz, opinions are what you give. What you give are bullshit. Opinions are bullshit. What is bullshit defined

Exactly. I am proud to have an opinion about these issues.

Let me correct your English again.
"What you give IS bullshit." NOT "What you give are Bullshit."

Opinions are everything.
Any moron can collect a fact. It takes consideration and intelligence to form opinions.

You are the only tool around here. You don't know when someone is taking the piss out of you.

Where?

Since I have found out what kind of Philosopher your not, and how you do your Philosophy. Please define some terms for me: determinism, and Existentialism.
