Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by EmmJay on 2005-12-04 21:49:43

So i'm sitting in English class and all of a sudden pop quiz. -well pop essay whatever you call it. The teacher a sorta teddy bear looking king of guy hands us this sheet of paper each with a different topic disscussing philosophy and I swear i must had my mouth wide open hanging down -and I zoned out. Yea sure I like philosophy the simple ones, which is like practically none, but hey who's counting it's an interesting topic. About the foundations of life, of asking questions to a question... So it took me some time before i finally had a vague idea of what I was going to write. As for my topic wow that was hard -it got me thinking hard that is and ever since then I've been thinking about it a lot more and it seems like my heads gonna explode lol. See if your head feels the same way. After reading these. The Questions being: 1)A chair located in the middle of the room. It's colored orange, you say it's orange I say it's orange, but how do you know if my color orange is the same color orange as yours? 2)If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? 3)Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? 4)Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? 5)I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said, "If I tell you, it would defeat the purpose. 6) If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the OTHERS here for? 7)Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you? But when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window. 8)Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do practice? 9)Why do you press harder on a remote-control when you know the battery is dead? 10)Why is it that rain drops but snow falls? * And this one is just Funny: Would somebody please explain to me those signs that say, "No animals allowed except for Seeing Eye Dogs?" Who is that sign for? Is it for the dog, or the blind person? Mind you all these questions are hilarious, but They are all TRUE. lol..philosophy such an interesting topic. What are your thoughts? Can you answer some of them? I'm still working on mostly all of it!

1) Because... Well, we don't know if it's the exact same orange color, but we know it's orange... X_X 2) You learned the wrong way to fail? 3) No idea ^_^ 4) Yeah, but wiping certain areas of your body, and then having people wipe the same towel on themselves... It's a little gross ^_^; 5) In a way, yes. 6) I don't get it, really... 7) No, that's very strange... 8) Never thought of that... 9) If you know the battery's dead, then don't push. If it's just not working, then pushing harder may help ^_^ 10) Well... Yes :P

Re: Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by on 2005-12-05 05:53:29 (edited 2005-12-05 07:01:40)

I just have to answer this. The Questions being: A chair located in the middle of the room. It's colored orange, you say it's orange I say it's orange, but how do you know if my color orange is the same color orange as yours? There is no way to know. We both agree it's orange. Your orange could be yellow-orange while mine is red-orange. To find out if we agree we would have to my large box of crayons, 128 colours. Both of us could select the colour we think is closest to the chair. We could also do this in the computers only the crayons would be more fun. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? If you failed and you learned something then you failed in the right way. Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? Yes! Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? It's the Poo factor. Anything that is left in the bathroom or anywhere else in the house has fecal matter growing on it, especially if it's wet, with most of it being in the bathrooms, It is also found it in the kitchen, living room and bedroom as well. That means there's poo every where. In the bedroom where my collection of plushies is and the humidity high you can even find it growing on my Winnie the Pooh bears and that meants there's Pooh poo everywhere. If I throw Winnie across the room because it's disgusting and covered in poo am I now flinging poo? By answering this question am I now flinging poo? I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said, "If I tell you, it would defeat the purpose. Did you press F1 for help? That's the wrong key, it needs to be Shift-F1 for context sensitive help. If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the OTHERS here for? We can't help others if there is no one to help so the others are here to help others who in turn help us in while return we help them with everyone helping each other. The theory is if we can keep busy helping others by helping others to help us then we would be so busy helping others that there would be no time for war. Probably be no time for love or sex either. Does that mean we could heal each outer out of existence? Philosophy is supposed to ask more questions. Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you? But when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window. That's easy. You have bad breath. Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do practice? If they practice, and lawyers do the same, when do they do it for real? Why do you press harder on a remote-control when you know the battery is dead? It has long been known the diet of the Sofadius Tuberous (couch potato) is electricity powered from the same battery as the remote. Without power to the remote their response is a totally autonomous reaction with no though behind it at all until someone actually changes the batteries. The answer is two remotes and rechargable batteries. Why is it that rain drops but snow falls? She same could be said of a feather; they dont drop they fall. I believe it has to do with an eyedropper and the shape of molten not frozen water molecule. Liquid water forms a shape that can be easily put into your eyes for treatrment and medication. You can not put a snowflake in your eye. Bonus: No animals allowed except for Seeing Eye Dogs? I've often wondered are these are the same brilliant people who put the sign in braille on drive-up ATM machines that say, "This machine uses braille". How does that sign keep that animals out. There probably animals already in the building, rats and rodents. Can in fact other animals read the sign? I have borders collies the smartest dogs in the world. They have the IQ and learning ability of a six year, old however they can't read. Clear your desks there is just enough time for a single question for a timed pop quizq You have to time yourself. If "A" increases and "B" decreases what happens to C? *sweetly* EmmJay woud you do something for me please Pretty please with sugar on it. Would you pirnt this out and take it to your teacher and see if he will grade it? Don't tell him how old I am, however I am really curious as to his response.

The Questions being: 1)its not called orange for no reason you know. our orange might've been different, but only a little by the resolutions, so orange's the best answer to it. 2)if you failed, but succeed, it means that you've found your own way in life. 3)no, ask the one person why we're using it, and ask yourself why are you using these words. 4)we use bath towels, yes, but as time flies dirt accumulate and instead of brushing germs away, you got germs instead. 5)if so... whats the saleswoman there for? 6)we're in a society where we help each other so we can build a stable foundation for ourselves, using ourselves as pillars, for this is a world where weaklings round together to become stronger as individuals and as a whole. 7)he's just curious about wind, as the wind from your mouth contains your smell, and as its a direct blow in the face, the dog smells it. remember that the dog's got sensitive nose. it likes to put its head out, as it's curious about the world outside. as for the same, why do babies/young child likes to look out the window and make noises? its the same. 8)its ok about that. you need to practically do what's needed for daily training. we even called Tournaments in Taekwondo 'training' for further purposes. 9)its just human instinct. sometimes its that you got used to those buttons that needs to be pushed harder in order to work. 10)snow's a lighter material, while rain's heavier. snow is considered a lighter version and a smaller version and solid version of water aka rain droplets. * And this one is just Funny: Would somebody please explain to me those signs that say, "No animals allowed except for Seeing Eye Dogs?" Who is that sign for? Is it for the dog, or the blind person? Ans:its for those blind ones. they're allowed to go in with dogs that serve as their eyes. hope i answered your questions. PS:you sound like a lost kid, are you ok?

My answer to question #1: Even if in our eyes orange is different to anothers it doesn't matter. We were taught that the shade has the name orange. Even if you're color blind you still understand that this shade of color is orange. I could see orange as green and you could see it as purple but as long as we were taught that color was orange then it is understood that when I see green I am viewing orange and when you are viewing purple the same is true. I just got out of school so that's all I'm willing to answer.

1)The sun dictates that. 2)Being the weak. 3)English sounds. 4)You can never be clean. 5)LOL 6)To help you. 7)Its a dog. 8)yes 9)Because you don't know its dead at first. 10)Because most people say it that way, not because it is fact.

Re: Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by Wolf on 2005-12-05 19:07:11

I have to answer the dog one. I think it's my duty. Try this: Walk up to your friend tomorrow and blow in their face. Keep doing it and see how they react. Yeah It'd kinda piss me off too. Especially with a dog's more sensitive nose. Sure they are interested in what you just ate and they do sometimes eat other dog's vomit and blow it in your face but isn't that just revenge for blowing on them? They like to hang their head out the window because they want to know what the hell is going on. They want to smell and sense all the new surroundings. Then they get their head out the window and realize they are going really fast and enjoy the wind in their face. I know I do.

This is philosophy there are no right or wrong answers. GentleWind I coldnt find out how old you were in the age thread. Would you post it here please?

Re: Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by Wolf on 2005-12-05 19:34:49

By answer I was inferring my opinion. My apologies.

Re: Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by on 2005-12-05 19:43:21

There is no need to apologize. I was just making a statement.

Re: Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by on 2005-12-06 06:42:24 (edited 2005-12-06 06:45:11)

1)to me,orange is orange.it doesn't really mattered if it's a different orange to you. 2)you're just back to square one.even if you failed to fail,you'll still succeed one way or the other 3)ever tried singing that song backwords?i did and it sounds stupid... 4)even when we washed ourselves,we won't be 100% clean.in every second,thousands of dead skin cells are produced. 5)i'll ask her why is she working here then if she can't help me.either way,i'd rather ask her for what i need since theres' an employee around... 6)we help the others,the others help us when we need help. 7)to begin with,our breaths ARE bad...and dogs have a keen sense of smell even though they're color blind.sticking it's head out the window really cools the dog down and probably helps it's nose not to get too dry 8)every patient the doctors have are unique.even if everyone has the same sickness,the effect on each patient differs from one another 9)since the remote doesn't use much power.think about it,we don't change the batteries to our remote once a week do we?sometimes i even forgot that remotes need batteries to operate. 10)rain in pulled down to the earth by gravity(i don't wanna use the word 'drops' here for a certain reason) faster and harder than snow since a drop of water is heavier than a single snow flake 11)it's for those who can see.since most ppl bring their pets to places where they know they can't.the blind don't really need to know if there's such a sign there since they won't read what they can't see If "A" increases and "B" decreases what happens to C? nothing.there's no rule saying that C must do something rite?

1. The only way I'll know it;s orange is by it's taste. If it tastes like an orange then it's orange. 2. Failure is not an option and success is never guaranteed. 3. Dumbf--k song. 4. I buy the poo factor. That was pretty good. And we don't wash bath towels, we bathe them. After all it is a bath towel. 5. I would offer to help her find her way in life by being helpful for it does seem that she is the one in need of self help. 6. There are two types of people in the world. Those needing help and the rescuers. Without those needing help the rescuers would have nothing to do. 7. They like bugs in their teeth. 8. doctors practice because if they diod it for real and screwed up they'd get sued. 9. The human body carrys an electrical charge of between 6,000 and 30,000 volts. (true fact). Theory has; If we press hard enough and rub the remote we can recharge the batteries much the same way we pick up astatic electric charge on a carpet. 10, We drop bombs butthey fall to the earth. Rain falls only it drops from the sky. Nope, sorry to complex for me. 11. I can understand why the law, the posted sign. I cannot understand why it is posted since the people it is meant for will never see it. Rins Q: If "A" increases and "B" decreases what happens to "C"? The answer is "D" none of the above. You and a friend are being chased by a bear. How fast do you have to run?

Re: Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by S-a-c-h-i-e-l on 2005-12-06 14:26:30

Don't run, bears are faster than people X_X Climb a tree or something.

Re: Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by Kotuso on 2005-12-06 14:28:57

Faster than your friend.

Re: Just Another Philosophical Question Link | by desertranger on 2005-12-06 16:48:52

Bears can climb trees. Windy's right.
