I think that any discussion regarding any kind of philosophy is the last thing anyone needs on this forum., Discussing Nietzsche, Hegel, Polany, is like trying to put your fire out with gasoline. I am in to that stuff as well but now is not the time in my opinion for any of you to be discussing such things of that matter. I have cut the philosophy out of my mind for quite some time now, and boy do I feel really good.

Thats right ignorance is bliss.
Might as well just start talking only about money, drugs, and sex like most normal people do.

 

[person3]

yes we should, because our reactions to THOSE things are where the real source of the problems lie, not in the ivory tower.

The way you said "like other people do" might infer some kind of specialness on your part...like you may not deal with those "ordinary things" because you're "better" than that..something to consider.

Everyone here is entitled to their opinion. I hear all three of you. We're back to freedom of speech and the need, a real need here, for people to express themselves about this miserable illness in ways they connect with -- whatever that way is.

Perhaps we could have a philosophy forum. We have religious, alternative therapies forums, etc.

I don't think we have something specific like that. And there is always "That's Life". But I know sometimes discussions get missed in forums other than the main one.

We can work this out.

Meantime......
Peace?

I don't consider myself as being superior to others. I am just not normal thats all, call me crazy if you like. And by the way its not the first time you have tried to point at me with something like *hey look at this guy, he thinks he is special*, well i got news for ya, you are the one who thinks is special. I have ignored your previous posts since they were just absurd and plainly funny to me. So I am just another mortal being discovering the world aroung me, yes I have questions just like everyone else here, however you seem to have every answer.

Thank you very much this fuckin forum is full of philosophy on life. The fact is people are addicted to this shit trying to figure out every thing in there life but only end up dying before they even learn 1 percent of what life is all about. Why waste your time ?

 

[Dreamer]

Sigh, moved to "That's Life" as this is going to get ugly? :shock:

[Guest]

stop fucking deleting my posts

 

[Guest]

seriously every time i post something true about you loners you delete it. How in the fuck do you squares go on living

 

[Dreamer]

J.Utah, read your PM from me. A post in the main forum that starts out with the word shit usually doesn't last that long there anyway. This was directed at a group mudslinging, not at one person.

Chill the hell out.

This is an off DP forum discussion. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Has the world gone mad again while I dozed off ?

 

[enngirl5]

I agree with depersonalized. We are stuck with topics like sex and money cause most of us have been robbed of our true passions like philosophy and other mystical topics. And it fucking sucks. It doesn't have anything to do with feeling "special". It's just another miserable aspect of all this dp/anxiety crap.

 

[Scattered]

I'm a sick sick person. This is happening because of chemicals in my brain. I want the doctors to cure my sickness. I think by allowing society to decide whats right for me and what I should think I'm being a responsible person. Its only through surrendering my freedom to think that I will ever get better. Analysis only creates more division and we should be unified. So please, lets eradicate any original way of viewing our illnesses and abnormalities so we can become efficient and productive humans.

So please, lets eradicate any original way of viewing our illnesses and abnormalities so we can become efficient and productive humans.

Please clarify.

 

[Scattered]

Clarification:

Lets stop exploring spiritual, philosphical, or alternative explanations and connections. Because it is only when we are unified in our absolutely correct and consensual view of mental illness that anyone will be cured.

It is only when dissent is eradicated that we can ever truly get anything done.

/sarcasm

 

[Dreamer]

There ARE alternative forums here to explore these things. A spiritual forum, an alternative therapies forum, "That's Life", etc., etc. How many different forums would you like?

Read the description of each forum. The different forums were created by James for this very purpose.

Why this has to turn into a battle is beyond me. :shock:

I think it's because 48 hours went by without one on here.

I'd have to agree that i see no harm in people posting philisophical threads. i think it's interesting to explore all angles of this disease. People can choose for themselves whether to read/concur with the opinions of the Mystical School of Thought regarding DP.

 

[Scattered]

Exactly there are alternative forums here. So why make a thread disregarding entire areas of explanation when its apparently important enough to comprise its own forum? And to say that the general forum should be COMPLETELY free of any philsophical thought regarding DP is ridiculous. Topics directly relating to the spiritual or philsophical ideas and DP should go on either thats life or spirituality, however people will interpret their experiences differently and we should allow that.

Scattered,
This board, in one incarnation or another has been in existence since @1987. These arguments about what's relevant and irrelevant in the main forum have gone on just as long.

James was kind enough to set up many separate forums as some people, as you note by andy's post, don't want "X", "Y", etc. in the MAIN forum. Posts DO get lost that way. It was the general consensus that things be divvied up.

Don't understand the problem here. This is a free site, but it also belongs to James and Sarah. Be thankful this is here in the first place.

Best,
D
You can't please anyone all of the time. SIGH, SIGH, SIGH
