Philosophy Now Forum

(I'm just kissing top level brass arse in the hope I don't get banned)

..it's for ALL your benefit - you all know this forum would be an irrational pile of diarrhea if I didn't restore sensible order to it.

But seriously, DON'T take this site for granted and not contribute to the costs of maintaining it.

The online subs is:
Oz money $37/pa = $3 per month = 10 cents a day.
UK money £19/pa = £1.60 per month = 5p a day.
USA money $25/pa = $2 per month = 6 cents a day.

PEANUTS!! Most of you would probably walk past those coins on the pavement and not even bother to pick them up (I do because I like money no matter how measly meagre...you never know when you might need to bash someone with a sock full of coins)

Here, I'll make it even easier for you tight arse, vacuous, free loading pompous gits..

I would've twenty years ago, but today i know everything and no longer need books or magazines.

U know how u can spot a failed philosopher? He's still reading philosophy after he turns 40.

That's a great subscription price tho.

Maybe it's early onset dementia. To be honest there are not many subject areas that I find interesting enough to even bother, just look at the ridiculous thread titles that some people think: "Oh, that's something that needs to be discussed." ..crap that amounts to common sense.

Look at Gazza's recent venture "What is tolerance?" 20,531 views and 208 people posted that need to get a life and find something that actually requires thinking.

Maybe they could find a dictionary, problem solved..oh shit, they probably would need to read a thread dedicated to whether dictionaries are worthy learning the alphabet for.

DICTIONARY Tolerance: willingness to accept behaviour and beliefs that are different from your own, although you might not agree with or approve of them. SOLVED!

Just imagine what all those people could have achieved in the time they wasted, if only they owned a dictionary or knew that they exist electronically now on the internet...for free!!!!

Oh yeah, that reminds me - READ the thread title. Just cos you ain't reading the mag, you're a poster - using the resources of the forum, so cough up some dosh ya commy cheapskate.

Just out of curiosity "attofisphi", how long have you actually been a "paying subscriber" here for?

Duck nose. If Rick reads this I give my full authority to inform you.

How long have you?

How come you, apparently, do not even know how long you have been a 'paying subscriber' here for?

And, why would you expect someone else to 'look up' some thing and answer, for you, when you could do it "yourself"?

Why did you even begin to presume that I was?

In Britain there are three great institutions, without which life would be incomplete to the point of almost not worth living at all. I speak of course of...
1. The particular Boris bike stand behind which one loses one's frontal virginity.
2. The chip shop, beside which one loses one's other virignity.
3. WH Smiths, where one purchases one's copy of Philosophy Now magazine in order to keep up with the lastest advances in Platonomics.

"but you're an atheist"

That's what makes me so fuckin smaht tho, mate. Once u get that 'god explanation' out of the way, u can begin to acquire real philosophical wisdom.

They call me Mr. Knowitall. I sup the aged wine. Oh, I could tell such wondrous tales if I should find the time. Well I must be Mr. Knowitall, for ideas, they come in bounds. I am Mr. Knowitall, now spread the word around!

It's been many years. The first one arrived in my letterbox to my surprise - a long long time ago. I was surprised because I thought I had subscribed to the online version - booze makes random things appear at my door all the time (or used to)

- for example, i've got a three 64TB USB sticks that turned up one day. 64TB sticks don't exist in our current time dimension but of course you'd know about the year 2050 when they do. I formatted it and the compoooter insists it's 64TB - it even has "Lenovo" branding - I just need to find 64TB of stuff to try and fill it up with - I suppose I could create 64 folders and fill with the same 1TB of stuff..
- DONT shop on AliExpress - especially when sozzled.

I didn't expect Rick to bother doing that. Fact is the online account doesn't have the information you seek.

Duck nose, considering you have never worked a day in your life and instead spend every waking hour drivelling pointless questions and condescending to us mere 'adult humans' as if you are some galactic wizard - even though you can barely type a coherent sentence and you just sound like an idiot to everyone (apart from DAM, but let's not go there)

Chip shop? - french fries don't count. How far do you have to drive out of London to get to a decent English fish n chip shop?

That's a contradiction in terms, only a fool would think real wisdom consists of never understanding the true nature of reality.

I am pretty sure you will find that "dontaskme" considered 'me' to be an "idiot" also, quite a few times over as well.

Interesting that you continually focus on the negative -- rather than accepting my point that the ONLINE SUBS account does not have information pertaining to when I started the subs.

On the scale of relevance as per your questioning of me - care fact or zero - you do portray yourself as an idiot, unfortunately - but I am certain if you climb down from whatever galactic empire you want to believe you are communicated by, perhaps we can ALL work together to render you far less of an idiot.

LOL What is, supposedly, 'negative', or 'positive' here, exact?

I was just trying to ascertain if you are a paying subscriber and if you are, then how long you have been for.

Absolutely anything else that you are assuming here could be absolutely Wrong.

one usually does not have to 'look up' anything to have a rough idea how long they have been a paying subscriber of some thing, if they are.

Well it was 'you' who introduced and started talking about 'this'. So, if you do not care about 'this' at all, then why did you introduce 'it' and talk about 'it' for, exactly?

'I' was also just Correcting 'you' here, by the way.

attofishpi wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2024 9:00 am - you do portray yourself as an idiot, unfortunately

Why 'unfortunately', exactly?

And, are you aware that 'you' portray as an 'idiot' also, some times?

LOL The more 'you' people here consider 'me' and 'idiot', then the far better this is actually working here, for 'us'.
