I liked this forum.

My praise for the moderators who do not tolerate the harassment and silliness found in many other places. :)

I am a self-styled philosopher, interested in all subjects which impact my life: politics, secularism/religion, economics, psychology. My first efforts in publishing my thinking may be found on my blog which I will publish later.

How We Keep Ourselves at Odds With One Another


There are so many forces which tend to divide us when peaceful co-existence is so greatly needed. To make matters worse, we seem to emphasize the things which divide us and which cause us to see every situation as “us vs. them”. Some examples are: liberal vs. conservative, Republican vs. Democrat, Christian (or Muslim or Jew) vs. non-Christian (or Muslim or Jew), American vs. foreigner, male vs. female, straight vs. gay, etc. In each case the goal , too often, is to prevail at the other's expense..

These are not the attitudes which produce peace, harmony, prosperity and happiness in our lives. Instead, these are the attitudes which keep us in constant conflict with one another, and usually have negative results for all. Creating winners and losers seldom resolves anything.. Resolutions are more likely when we create a win/win situation. Our attitude is the key.

In my opinion, there are some essential elements in developing the most constructive attitude, namely being honest, fair and considerate in our dealings with each other. There are obstacles to such a code of ethics, namely:

1. Religious dogma.
2. The addiction to power.
3. Fear---of being taken advantage of; of being ridiculed; of being ostracized by
friends and family.
4. Our tendency to be arrogant.
5. Our tendency to act out of emotions to the exclusion of reason.

So, what is a first step we can take to overcoming these obstacles? We can begin by focusing on what we all have in common.

A. We all like the idea of individual liberty, the freedom to conduct our lives as we wish. This must be limited to the extent that it does not infringe on the rights of others to do the same.
B. We all want to be respected and not put down, or taken advantage of, or oppressed.
C. We all want sufficient food, shelter, health care, and the opportunity to earn a living..
D. We all want to be able to make a living.

In other words, we are all in the same boat. Most of us do not expect these things to be handed to us. We just wish to to pursue them without interference by either government or persons. Problems arise when we, consciously or subconsciously, are too quick to blame others when things don't go our way.

Hello everyone.

Was here a few years ago mostly lurking. Old account was gone, but now I'm back.

Welcome... back?

Hi there lofhay and Draak_13. Draak, who did you used to be?

Hi I'm squee and clearly new...

HOLAA! Haha am new to the interwebs and need friends. D:

Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Yes, it's me. Really.
 

So, it's been a few years since I haunted this house. In that time much has changed in my life ... have I missed anything here?

Hope you're all well.

I'll start looking around and get the "lay of the land". Who IS the lay of the land these days?

TRS65

bout time you came back, sparky!

welcome back!

Hello everyone. I really have no clue what to say...

Well, for now that is.

hello is good to start....

hello all

i'm here cause my girlfriend (rangerjoe) got me interested it, so thought i come and look around.

Well, you know how to drop one of the right names!

Nice to meet you bob. I hope that you and RJ stop in regularly!

welcome bob! Hi bob!

Hi.

I'm here because I have a tilted sexuality, and philosophy, and politics.

A quote that comes to mind is,

"Since I became a reader of lofty books, I have become a defender of lop-sided causes."

Or maybe it happened the other way around? A lazy-eyed dwarf told me that quote, and attributed it to Voltaire, however I have never been able to find the line...

Hi Vana. I hope you jump in and contribute to our conversations. Here's a link to a thread that tells you all about the origins of our little slice of Tilt. http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/hall-fa...igins-tfp.html

You read my mind. Or my mail? I forget who I PMed about the history.

Thanks for the welcome.

Hello everyone! This place seems like a great place to do some quality procrastinating =)

Yes, you have the right idea. Welcome and warm regards, everybody.

Intro
 

Hi all. New guy here. I am a student at Uni. Hate numbers. Nice to meet you all

---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------

Oh. By the way, can something be done about the site logging people out automatically? Kinda gets frustrating.

Hi agentnitz and Wabiske!

Wabiske - you need to select "remember me" when you log in. If you're idle for more than 15 minutes, you're considered logged out unless that's selected.

I'm here because my friend Punk.of.Ages is always on this site and I wanted to check it out. Now I'm addicted. I'm stuck home with a 4yr old, 19month old, and a 8 month old. I don't get out much and for the first time I don't feel lonely. I may not be as witty as the rest of you but I enjoy reading your threads and posts.

Hi... I'm new. :)

welcome!!

Hi, nikifm!

hola!

Hello all.

Howdy, poopsmith.

My three teenagers are lazy and lack focus.They have to be remided on every moment to worry and prepare for the upcoming test.
My husband and myself are very keen to let them enjoy a happy childhood .Now I face challenges in the matters of implementing
our rules of studies and conventions.

Great, pumpi! Now you have us lazy and unfocused folks here to converse with and scold occasionally.

Welcome.

Saying Hi
 

Hi, do I have to intro here to converse on another page of the forum?

Verronica

Nope, but it's nice to have someone introduce themselves first. There's no rule or even "the right way to do things", but it gives folks a chance to know you.

Nice to meet you Verronica. Where are you from? Can you tell us a little about yourself?

"witty as the rest of us", WOW, that you never need worry about....... Be welcome and be yourself. (and dont steal my avatar):thumbsup:

I mean, do you really think that's my ass in my avatar?

I thought it was your ass, now I'm a little sad.:sad:

Welcome jane.

Dude, you have GOT to stop killing my bliss ....

You're the damn grinch who tell all the kids santa doesn't exist eh? :no::sad::shakehead:

Uh, hello, everyone.

I've been looking for a new place to ramble, converse, and basically entertain myself as the forums I tended to visit have become somewhat slow lately. It's nice to find one that has a good amount of members, interesting topics, and intelligent people that can type properly. :hmm:

I think I'm going to like it here. Nice to meet ya'll.

:D

Welcome, Allyx3...

Nice to meet you as well.

Aw, you can just call me Ally. :p

_____________________________

Hello Charlie. Hope you stick around the campfire. Marshmellows and sticks are to your left, hot dogs and beer in the cooler ...

Hi, Ally, fdl and charliechaplin1. I'm glad you all finally found us!

And Chuck, the next time you try to insert a spammy link into a post, I won't be as nice as Tully was. But that's irrelevant because you'll never come back to read this.

So now that I have finally found it I thought I would come back and share it with the people in that thread.
