Philosophy Now Forum

Some Negro American Muslim just finished chanting and singing at Cassius Mohammad Ali Clay's funeral in Louisville KY -- HQ city of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Now a Baptist is finally speaking afterwards.

Clay should have stayed Baptist. He would have been better off.

His jaunt with Negro Racism ends today.

Just a tip. People aren't concepts.

Rub-out is a more accurate term than destroy. Rub-out every trace of empirical evidence. What’s astonishing is that the ten commandments are still carved into SCOTUS. Astonishing because to each generation is born a crop of those who know better, elevated in size these days with the university indoctrinations secretly taking place in the safe zones.

Militants have been threatening the pyramids of Giza for awhile now, since setting their sights on bigger things after getting rid of the Big Buddhas. Gonna rub them out they say.

The forgettin won’t happen for awhile. Odds are statues of Ali are in the making, to be sprinkled here and there for remembrance in the parks where rummys can rest their heads and remember what they like to think they were.

You are a moron.

It's odd how Nick, yiostheoy and Walker have all descended on the Forum recently. It's almost as if an american funny farm, with a single magazine on the coffee table; PN, had just been closed down and the three stooges have clutched at that copy to seek a new life outside the asylum. They wander down to the nearest Internet Cafe where they are now holed-up.

And there's your colour firmly nailed to the cross.

With respect to boxing it is arguably the case that he is the GOAT of the heavyweight division, although Larry Holmes has been sorely underappreciated.

You can say one thing about Ali and that's that he stood up against your draft rather than dodge it due to wealth and contacts like GWB and Trump.

There were other ways to dodge the Viet Nam draft back in those days, one of which WJ Clinton used -- joining ROTC in college.

That kept those officers out of Viet Nam for a while at least.

USAF and USN ROTC was great because it kept you out of Viet Nam completely.

Only the Army and Marine officers had to deal with Viet Nam after that.

I rather suspect the Marines enjoyed it while I know the Army did not. Special forces usually live for war.

The Marine officers dealt with it by being tough. Still it was a useless war. Sort of like fighting Ireland by the British. Or the Russians in Afghanistan. Or the French in Indochina before the Americans.

Cassius Mohammad Ali Clay did not have the ROTC options available of course. He was not college material. He would have ended up in the ground pounding Army Infantry unless he had signed up for the USAF or USN. He could have boxed in the military -- they have boxing leagues.

Instead Clay chose the draft dodging alternative of refusal. He could have moved to Canada or Sweden too -- they were letting Conscientious Objectors in -- they had all sorts of experience with WW1 and remember what that was like for the C/O's who turned out to be right.

Clay is lucky he did not go to prison.

The impotent vitriol of helpless rage. You just defined yourself and declared what you are to everyone here. I dare you to say the N word to an African american male when you are alone and not in the company of other goons like you. I dare you. So easy when you are in the comfort of your home, isn't it? And what amazing philosophy. This is real philosophy isn't it? Sickening and cowardly.

sthitapragya, who is currently on your ignore list, made this post.

yiostheoy seems to be making new friends hand over fist. I could tell he was going to be popular as soon as I'd read his first post.

I've made some allowances in your case since you have not read much philosophy yet -- at least you read Russell.

So there is still hope for you.

The other morons on this planet I have relegated to the ignore list.

Remember I told you with 7 billion of anything and 11% of them likely to be psycho's and sociopaths, one has to be discrete.

A nice long ignore list is quite discrete.

A mind suited to philosophy can't help but think philosophically, regardless of how much or little reading it has been subjected to. A mind such as yours, that wants to be what it is incapable of being, will never achieve it's desire, regardless of how much philosophy reading you try to stuff into it. the only thing you've achieved, so far, is to make an idiot of yourself.

I hope you are right.

You seem to have a lot of potential although your reading list still only consists of one book.

I highly recommend Scruton to you next.

You will find him quite confusing, but that will be good for you. You will find that humbling.

Scruton is the real McCoy.

Yes, you only have to look at him to see that. He looks like the sort of man I'd feel safer having in front of me rather than behind.

You should read his book and then use him for your avatar.
