sahba	do the craziest stunt ever and which probably wont be done again atleast you hope no one does because you died doing it	040429
	...
thieums	Proving to who ? To the others ? Then you assume they exist, so therefore you exist too, because you're the "other" of someone else, and there is no need for a proof. But does that mean someone alone doesn't exist ?	040429

minnesota_chris	must I prove my existence? Must I exist? Does a flower exist? Does the space between the petals exist?	040429

kookaburra	how do i prove my existence? well, on what plane of existence do you mean? (kookaburra doesnt even understand what she is saying, mind you) well see on the plane of dancing and bein wild i do exist. but on your plane, i dont exist...why would i want to exist here? wars, killing? naw, im only here to visit...	040429

minnesota_chris	well said. I was about to shout at someone that power doesn't exist (the things you control, end up controlling you). So what can we do here on earth? Create.	040429

dosquatch	Oh, sure, 42. But what's the question? (trying to force reality to recreate itself as something even more bizarre and inexplicable)	040429

kx21	Oops... Given Dosquatch:- 'There is no final_answer'. Let final_answer = "you"... i.e. There is no "you" What_a_Fuss!!!	040429

Dosquatch	Dammit, I hate it when that happens!	040429

Dosquatch	kx, what exactly are you looking for? At first it seemed like you were looking for some form of spiritual enlightenment. More and more, though, you seem to be on some sort of political bend. Therein lies no enlightenment.	040429

Zao Lithos	Consciousness gives us the ability to realize that there are things that do not exist. From there, we realize that we don't fall into that category by reason. If we don't not exist, we do exist, and this we know because of our mathematical abilities to comprehend that a double negative equals a positive.	041113

minnesota_chris	sabbie, you should have a yard sale. Put all the shit on the lawn. You know it would be the most interesting thing in the neighborhood. And you might make a few pounds or dollars or kangaroo tails or whatever the hell you use for money down there.	041114

Woo hoo! I kill me	Well when I take long walks in the lush, verdant hills of south central pa, (it is a panorama of rustic/autumnal splendor that even in the depths of the tormented soul sends forth Ma nature's loving caress) and so I'm shirtless of course, and in the bracing autumn air, the early morning winds slice like a knife, liquid ice that pretty much ameliorates those matricidal impulses. Then on some distant horizon my shadow in a brief reprieve from its suffering of immeasurable exhaustion and lays down in the soft susurrus of earth. Plus my nipples get really hard. ...	041116

IGG	ahhh you got me. well you knew i was in your head anyway. now the question is, why did you create me? am i a vehicle for your negative emotions or merely an amusing interlude in your too-serious life?	051118
	...
nocturnal	you don't. for YOU to prove YOUR existence, there'd have to be a you to prove it. in the end, you can't prove it anyway, because even if you come up with some brilliant new theory, if you're wrong and you don't exist (a ridiculous statement in itself I admit), that theory never existed anyway as a non-existent being cannot create an existent thing. some take that to mean that from the ability to prove such a thing, or the ability to do anything at all, that in itself is proof, but there are holes in that idea as there are in every theory of existence. there's no fool-proof way to prove existence, but you would go insane living a life in which you doubt the existence of literally everything, so it's really not worth it in the end. and that's what I got out of a B.A. in Philosophy.	051118

camille	i take my exit stance and ask, "Why should I have to prove anything?" the idea of having to prove anything namely "self" to the opposition "that I exist" gives the opposing force a reason to deny that i exist..	051120
