Previously: if a person is a person through other people, what happens when a person is substantially different from other people? How different can you be, and still be human? What is it I see that determines whether I greet you, flee you, or kill you? EDIT: Related to The Social Model and...

A break from my usual scope, prompted by a question from a friend. Liturgy B. Woodblock print. Matsubara Naoko, 1995. Ubuntu/Hunhu philosophy, distilled to its essence by Michael Onyebuchi Eze: "A person is a person through other people." The term ‘ ubuntu' is from south African languages...

This post has nothing to do with Ren & Stimpy... I have come to terms with how odd I can be, I like my disorganization, my collections of random stuff that I've been obssesed with over the years, I can deal with my lack of interest in society, the trouble I have with focusing in school. Joining...
Three cups of hot tea/ cure hunger cold and sorrow/ tea is warm enough/ Gibbons don't drink tea--/ by throwing rocks at tigers/ they keep warm enough/ If you know patience/ listen for the tiger's roar/ the end soon follows/ I've considered this;/ bar the door and the window/ sing gathas all...

As I opened a new Firefox tab and navigated to OkCupid, it occurred to me that the time and effort I put into this website is disproportionate...to? with? the return I get on that investment. I have looked through my matches on enough reasonably-spaced occasions to know that the few who are...

I'm starting a story to share with you guys.. I like to write, but what about? any suggestions?, please comment your ideas! :):grinning:
I wish more people would look past Harley Quinn's persona to realize how good of a character she actually is. You know, she was just created to pop out of the cake in the episode Joker's Favor of Batman:TAS but she ended up developing enough to get her own backstory and remain as a permanent...

I wasn't sure if posting this anywhere in the forums was appropriate so I'm just going to make a blog post "Non-Binary Genders are gender identities that don't fit within the accepted binary of male and female. People can feel they are both, neither, or some mixture thereof. It might be easier...
The way you could fix this would be to ask, "Do you believe in any sort of God(s) or Goddess(es)?" It's still more confusing to the monotheistic mind, but that mind can still understand this sentence. Anyone who isn't monotheistic would have zero trouble, as would atheistic or agnostic...

You know. "It". That thing. The abstract idea. The Full Set. The ability to be understanding and social just like all the rest. "It" The thing that makes you able to have friends. And the ability to make them. The abilty to think beyond laterally. It. ****ing hell. Doesn't...
This is something that has been making me mad for awhile.I cant believe the people in government these days. They are slowly cutting and shredding the constitution,taking our right to privacy,self defense,and lives away. Its not right. I think if it keeps going down like this,i'm gonna move to...
I think some people are simply stupid. Given the best resources in education, networking and even family, some people just cannot unleash their potentials in an all-supportive setting. They seek to exclude some people away from others, because they think it is fair for the other people to...

I have issues on the Mother Tongue policy, particularly the way it played out for the Indians and Chinese. (Malays have some issue, but we are all supposed to be in the region of Indonesia and Malaysia, don't we?) Mandarin - always a sore point. For all of us. If you substitute 'Tamil' for...

Ink smears. Pages bleed. She cries, while he sleeps. The rain pours. Puddles splash down in the street. The shouting stopped, fists stayed at their sides. But peace has failed; her heart still breaks. The phone rings, a neighbor concerned, paces. The phone stares and she ignores. The flowers...
