rampant curiosity--how do you waste time?

Reading, writing, drinking.

I don't see the connection.

"Turning out pigs for creationists makes me blue and blurry."--Brad McFall

You speak no doubt from personal experience?

This nefarious habit has no doubt affected your teleological philosophy.

Well, if they have Bordeaux in heaven . . .

Monday through Thursday:M and W 8:30 pm--drink beer (several)Tu and TH--10:00 pm--drink beer (not much, sleepy)Friday afternoon and night--wine (Friday night is wine night) followed by beer (quite a bit)Saturday night--it varies, but some drinking of something will no doubt be done. When out somewhere, I sometimes drink Margaritas. I've been known to have a Martini or two.Sunday afternoon--a few beers.

It might be a good idea. On a Friday night late . . .

I think I did, back in the 80's. If you are suggesting, Schraf, that I would have been a better person, or a happier person, or a more accomplished person, if I had not drank, no doubt you are right. But you must realize that people are what they are. I could no more change my habits than I could change the color of my eyes.I have many flaws. Drinking is but one of them. I have gone my way.In my twenties I was irresponsible, in my thirties and forties I was a hard worker, and now in my fifties I am steady. I have accomplished, of course, nothing of value, but I did try (to invoke Jar).And I am not going to give up.

The drinking has nothing to do with the philosophy. I disagree. It's possible to camouflage one's nature. It's not possible to change it.

Neither do I. Thanks for your comments. I didn't know I was so horrible as all that, but maybe so.Good luck with your health.

People are born with tendencies toward certain types of behavior. Everyone has their flaws.

If you say so. That's not what I see when I look at the world, however.

Well, I'm not depressed. I'm happy. I've always been happy.Nihilism is neither negative nor positive. It's a certain view about the nature of life--and an imminently reasonable one I might add.My nihilism is a aimed at anti-sentimentality and anti-piety.But you make a good point, Schraf. I drink too much.

brennakimi, you better check in at the local rehab. Your life is in ruins.

Ultimately, yes.I'm working on my bible for the nihilistic church, iano. Need some rules.Here's one: It is never a waste of time to enjoy oneself unless such enjoyment interferes with other, even more enjoyable, activities.This message has been edited by robinrohan, 11-24-2005 09:32 AMThis message has been edited by robinrohan, 11-24-2005 09:32 AM
