Left Wing Club

[JAG]

I have no interest in reading all that boring material, I am sure it will shorten my life at least 5 years if I even attempt it.

Jag if you read that i will read some of that commie garbage of equal size. Come on post some of that propoganda.

Read that, it isn't anything to do with the left, it is a philosophical book, but I reckon it would help your outlook a lot.

Read that, then i'll consider it, eh?

Oh and nice to see you at this club again, for your 5th 'last post'.

[scooter_the_shooter]

I cant keep having "last post" here so if you want to continue this do it through pms.

And when you say you will "consider" reading what i posted that means you better read it


PS I am about 1/3 to 1/2 through that thing and so far the only part I like is this.

Certainly, many people think that in what they are doing they commit no one but themselves to anything: and if you ask them, “What would happen if everyone did so?” they shrug their shoulders and reply, “Everyone does not do so.” But in truth, one ought always to ask oneself what would happen if everyone did as one is doing; nor can one escape from that disturbing thought except by a kind of self-deception. The man who lies in self-excuse, by saying “Everyone will not do it” must be ill at ease in his conscience, for the act of lying implies the universal value which it denies.

But the whole comparing god to a paper knife I didn't like.

He doesn't really compare God to a paperknife, he uses both in an example about what he means by what he previously said. It is a good example as well.
