Hi Nibblies! I'll PM my list to you later this week, after I finish buying it. :D

Sounds good! :D

Packing sucks! I hate my life! I won't be able to take all my trinkets with me, or even most of them. *pouts*

Yes it does! You'll get all your trinkets with you though at some point.

I have. A while ago. It isn't eligible.



I love educated conversations! We're talking about Philosophy? Best class I ever took at BCC. Hit me with your best shot.

Well pooh. Um...I got nothing. :lol:

Can you ship them down once you have your apartment?


edit: Dibbs on the snarfblatt!

I was gonna take the snarfblatt! Great...well I want the dinglehopper then!
Everyone go see Ratatouille. I thought it was a really nice and funny little flick. That's all. :)

Ok then. I didn't know how bad I wanted to see this...but the reviews keep coming in that it really is a good movie...so I'll probably see it in theaters then.

Really, there's 2 kinds of philosophy in the grand scheme of things. One is analytical (very dry and awfully boring) and historical, which is what I'm more interested in. The culture of the 17th and 18th centuries was completely diametrically opposite of our own. This is the kind of stuff that was being talked about in posts, on the street, at work! Studying this philosophy allows us to tap into the thinking of a not so distant past. And, as little as many people think this matters to a contemporary world, it is incredibly important to understanding our evolving culture. As little as we realize it, philosophy is still being fed to us every day, often forcibly. We are indoctrinated with the tenants of postmodern ethical thought daily and we spew it out like it's part of some sort of manifesto we've recited without giving much thought to it. Studying the way philosophy influenced the culture even 400 years ago allows us more than just a glimpse of how it's transforming our own culture.

I've studied ancient philosophy but not modern philosophy. However, I know that it was very important to the French Revolution and even the founding of the U.S.
