You Can't Prove You Exist - Page 6

Actually I can, I have a religion that worships me.

you may be right, but body modification is often not "logical"--it's not really something you do with your mind as the primary force behind it

skysidhe · 06-17-2007, 07:55 PM

You missed my point but it dosn't matter. I understand where you are comming from and what you are saying.

Cicero · 06-18-2007, 01:34 PM

Yeah, I'm with skysidhe. I understand what you are saying. I just don't think you get what I've been saying....maybe you're just skimming and not really reading or something. Especially since you are trying to hand me a list of reading material. Well, thanks for the info.

Cloud · 06-18-2007, 03:25 PM

well, I have two people accusing me of ignoring them, which surprises me, because I thought I made an informative and thoughtful post.

My statement relating body modification to proving one's existence to myself is opinion only--just what struck me as I read the thread, and I don't have anything other than my personal feelings to back this up. It's possible it's not accurate, nor even related to this rather light-hearted thread, because I tend to relate everything to body modification--it's just my thing. Cartesian theory is related to society's treatment of this subject, and I can provide more quotes from my sources--but I don't think that's what you are looking for.

I am also not handing anyone a list of reading material--I offered, in case anyone was interested. I'm just always eager to share my passion with other people--aren't you?

In short.... this isn't adding up to me. Could you please clarify this for me?

I wish I would have read this. I am the lazy skimmer it seems.

I didn't accuse you of ignoring me.

but anyway...I'm curious as to why do you say you relate everything to mody modification and it's just your 'thing'

what is it??your thing? What do you look like? Are you modified?Goth? what?

yep, Goth, that's me. :p

okay, not really. A wee bit too old for that, unfortunately.

Yes, I'm a girl. And to normal people, fairly heavily modded (although not extremely so to my modded buddies). Here's a thread showing one of my tattoos:

Yes, I can.

I choose not to.

I completely understood what Cloud said, but I can't find the part where Cicero said anything.

I'm not a sloppy reader. ...Maybe you were thinking it in your head but didn't actually type it it into the computer? :::

I flushed proof of my existence earlier.

Cloud · 06-18-2007, 05:38 PM

I'm sorry you feel I was unresponsive, but sure, I'm more than happy to drop it.

Cloud · 06-18-2007, 09:50 PM

you know, I'm happy to discuss body modification ad nauseum, but I feel I've made some missteps here and don't want to exacerbate matters, so I think I'll just not hijack Flint's thread anymore.

This thread is designed to make people think, and make people talk. I'm interested in what people are thinking about, and how they think about things.
