I always thought that kids made the best philosophers.  "Who are you?"  "How did you get so old?"  "What's that thing on your face?"  "Why are you fat?"  "Where are we?"  "Are we there, yet?"  "Why do we breathe?"  "Where do you go when I dream?"  "Why?"
 
Then, we send them to school and they spend the rest of their lives trying to recover from it.

Is that really philosophy? or are they just annoying brats?

Coincidentally....
 
Earlier today, I saw a German philosopher out buying fruit and vegetables.



I'm pretty sure I've spotted a Nietzsche in the market.

Why does hair stop growing where it's suppose to grow(scalp) and start growing where it isn't(ears & nose)?

Karyn, I think the only difference between the two is that one is very impressed with themselves for being Profound.  The other one is strapped into a booster seat and is throwing plush toys at the back of your head.

Is that official government advice?  To strap your philosophers into booster seats?

You may have bought a sophist though. They are cheap and plentiful - particularly between election cycles.

Please mark this thread "Answered".
 
What is the sound of one track clipping?

This one's going into my best-forum-quotes collection.
 
 
Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'"
