View Full Version : philosophy
Keep this philosophy in mind the next time you either hear or are about to
repeat a rumour.
In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.
One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him
excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your
students?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a
little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."
"Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance.
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student
let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is
Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is
true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now
let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to
tell me about my student something good?"
"No, on the contrary ...".
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even
though you're not certain it's true?".
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued." You may still pass
the test though, because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is
what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really..."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor
Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"
The man was defeated and ashamed. This is the reason Socrates was a great
philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why he never found
out that Plato was shagging his wife

Those that gossip to you, will also gossip about you.
But you also can't complain if what you whispered to the wind, gets carried to the trees.
Word. (Which is OBVIOUSLY just ''Corn'').
Edited: stolen words were removed. There is no either or JUST corn.
you're a strange strange man...

^^^ you are making the assumption of me being male. Which is nor denied nor confirmed.
I am even considering missing out on a certain high-social-class shindig at the weekend to protect my identity. Tho of course i could send anyone that can claim to be 'me'. Which is what i will do. (And BOY will it be an UGLY male). lol

marty marty marty.
Where the hell did you come from.

I am no longer bound by the boundaries of countries or states or their imposing laws and restricions.
The entity of ''Marty'' has been declared an independant state itself and granted full diplomatic immunity. I have opted out of the whole system of social class, governements, legal system, concept of contries, land ownership, money and etc. It holds no sway over me anymore.
OPTED out.
Edited: i opt out of correct spelling.
thought u lived manchester way on marty :? :lol:
marty in fact doesn't reside in a country at all. his location is not covered by any countries laws
he has no fixed abode
he's a pikey\chav like me :lol:
no. the lair is is a certain region of the world
so what you saying there marty.
you dont pay road tax or insurance.
This every one, is surely an indacation of to why we pay so much money on insurance.
marty has admitted being an exception to all things that we get over charged for cause of his mistakes.
this would obviously mean that the speed limit is not a part of your life style and therefore the exzcessive speed cameras.
Marty you need to confirm the smallest of details for us to clear these injustice's of us fellow novaloaders on this site.
Do you have a
NI number
Pay tax
Have an address
Pay car insurance
Pay road tax
all of these need to be answered or you will be punished by a rubber laiden gimp!
As the officil spokesperson for the area marty resides in:
The lair does have a permament addrees but its actual location chages a lot. Roads dont exist where he resides so no tax is needed.
Speed limits are not relevent as there are no laws where the lair is.
Im sure he would stil like the gimp though.
argh.
but to have access to the internet. he must have some form of land line connection.
thus in fall makes him to have to abide to all govermental bollocks.
marty therefore is a ........
argh.
but to have access to the internet. he must have some form of land line connection.
he could be nicking someone elses wireless connection if 'the lair' is close enough to some sort of human habitat
why do you always spoil the fun chris huh!
biatch

Alex has sent me the tinternet on a floppy disc.
I have diplomatic immunity, which means i can stay in any country but it's laws can not govern me.
Spokespersons have been appointed to be my official representatives in all matters of thought and speach and may make comments which shall be deemed as fact. They will make themselves known as and when required. Very much like Alex has.
I have opetd out of any kind of decision making process too, and all decisions are made on my behalf by Alex.
I am not affected, nor can affect any of the matters brought up by SRS, due to me being an independent entitiy. I do not abide by any laws or restrictions not made for myself by myself and have COMPLETE freedom to do whatever i like. However, this OBVIOUSLY means it would not be possible for me to adversely affect matters such as the creation of more speed-cameras, increasing insurance, and etc, either. It is NOT POSSIBLE for me to make mistakes, as i am not governed by anyone or anything, except by the independent state of my own being.
i have read your message and am surely mistaken.
but whats this????
you state that you are an entity.
quote
" due to me being an independent entitiy"
but later on you state that you are a being
quote
"except by the independent state of my own being."
thus surely is a contradiction in its own words.
you state you are a being but refere to yourself as "i" all the time and that others have to make replys to your thoughts.
so if others have to make coments or speech on your behalf, why are you?
if you have diplomtic immunity then why would any one send you the internet, surely this states that you have an access point to a computer,
internet cafe etc. of which you must pay for a coffe which is tax'd.
therefore i dismiss all claims of you being a "being" and think you should pay the road tax like everyone else.
i have also come to the following conclusion
to be deemed to have diplomatic imunity, you would have to be given this title by another government.
so therefore you must be governed in some form (unless you are a being from outta space) which i argue the fact that you cant recieve post in space from earth.
the only other way you can be non governed by a government or as close as, would to be a gypsy.
so that must meab you actually are a pikey, do like burberry and have a chav.
epo, you have a friend.
:D

lol Well YES, i am a human being. A person. me, myself, i. This being, me, myself, i, is known as an 'entitiy'. A government is just a democratic representation of a majority. I am an entity - a person - a being. I am an independent state myself, the government of which is me. Being the majority, minority, sole 'occupant' of my own being/entity. I have granted myself diplomatic immunity in my own state. It is not possibly for me to even BE in another country or state, because i have opted out of the concept of countries. Wherever i physically travel, which ever 'country' i may be IN, means my INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN entitiy/being is being INDEPENDENT IN.
Terms such as 'chav', or anything, can not apply to me, because they are not terms that are applicable or even in use in the State of Marty. I can opt in an out of any concept i want now, because i am allways able to be at exhile in my own independent state. Very much like you would seek solace at a British Embassy whilst in another country. I have granted myself tax relief using my independent sovereign powers.
Quiting me is not good, as i have opted out of correct spelling. What you are quoting may not be correct, and i may deem it to have different meaning whenever i wish. I am free to allow oters to make comments for me, think for me and etc. Just as i am free to allow myself to do it. Anything goes for me, in my own independent state of myself.
It rocks.
i will think of a better answer later, if i can be bothered, as i am knackered now and am up at 6am for work, so have to get started on my furious 4 hour masturbathon before bed lol
