Why talk? To get your pity? To entertain people whose life is a bit better?
-Said to -Suha in Paradise Now

Why the what in where when whizzle?

Why ...why?

Why care?

Why Wii?

Why smell it?


Hence... why do we bother with this thread?

A reasonable and innocent inquiry battered with a mixture of impartibly tasteless and repulsive responses. Such prose, to entertain the pacification of an apparently straightforward question with dim humor, whilst putrefying the very sarcasm it staffs. My sincere condolences to you’re superfluous intellects.

I am curious to know if anyone with a hint of originality and sensible deliberation has anything real to weigh in.

Why ask?

-- Ron.

One is curious to know why people think they talk. To manipulate anyone so they can obtain all of that which they desire, to ardently understand and empathize with others and their life’s proceedings, to substantiate themselves, to eradicate their foes, and so forth onward into the complex of social escapades? What makes one person more prone to be verbally abusive? What makes another more prone to sprout praise? Et cetera. Tis asked out of pure curiosity for human cognition.

Hence... why do we bother with this thread?Why, oh why?

Why else?

Talking is a more sophisticated form of grooming.

You have a commendable vocabulary but it doesn't facilitate communication with others: it's needlessly complicated and comes off as forced. Simplify...

I'm starting to think you put your posts through a word processor in order to embellish them.

I don’t know, his edifying, pontifications, impregnated my imagination and fertilized my consciousness with verbose hubris.

He wants to appear as more deep than he actually is. This makes him all the more shallow.

I suspected that too. Also, I tried to tell him to stop doing that. Communication should be efficient and precise. Drowing ideas in non-essential and uncommon synonyms is not the way to promote our ideas.

his title alone "An Amorous Anonymous Anemones" tells me he likes to play with words :)
Then you have his name 'Jonny5', which I presume to be 'Johnny Five', the robot from the movie 'Short Circuit'... anyone remember? Johnny Five could read whole books in a manner of seconds.
Perhaps our Jonnyboy has a superiority complex.

Satyr already gave the correct answer a few posts ago, so now we can go off on a tangent.

Cows have regional accents like humans, language specialists have confirmed.

Farmer Lloyd Green, from Glastonbury, said: "I spend a lot of time with my ones and they definitely moo with a Somerset drawl.


That's right, even your average cow speaks in dialect. And therefore has culture!

perplexity
You are a one trick pony, Satyr: projection.Oh, I haven’t, ever, heard this one before.

When you think you are talking about somebody else it is really just about yourself, as usual, because your view is too shallow to see enough of what others are really like.Yes dear, you are special, and deep and complicated and I’ve only been projecting my insecurities and self-evaluations upon you.

Now, move on.
You are becoming boring in your special, complicated, deep ways.

To keep the attention of your audience you need to spend more time on listening, less on talking. I think you would be surprised if you knew how many people “pay attention” to me.
Mostly unwanted attention.

Even in your feigned disinters you contradict yourself with actions.

Do me a favor and prove your point by ignoring me....Please.
You have nothing to say of interest to me and reading your attempts to avoid the premises I’ve described for you, has lost its amusement factor.
Now you are just boring me.

Let us just say that human beings are nice, good, compassionate, beings – except for the odd, dysfunctional and ill one, like me – and you are smart, lovable, and deserving of life’s wonders with no hypocrisy or ulterior motives vying for physical or psychological domination to prove their manhood.
You, and your friends, are just like they appear to be.


Now run along little doggy…..Play with your little friends and call it philosophy.

Why talk?

You can't draw conclusions from visits to Finland. It one of the few nations where silence is acceptable and where silence is used to talk.

Some people’s ability to socialize diminishes with every additional voice garnered in conversation. They might reluctantly conform to silence and become half-heartedly obliged to observe and attentively listen. They’re only “accepted” as far as their voice is heard. However they might be looked upon as a dismissive individual, or anti-social, and in being labeled so, become evermore nervous, and distrustful of speaking at all. Humor becomes a second rate, handed down, thrifty alternative to the consciousness of seclusion. Therefore it is only helpful in the eyes and ears of the beholder(s). I consider myself such a person. It is the poorest class of sociality.

For those in life who in all modesty are simply trying to relate and empathize with others, the task to contribute and share feelings and the like becomes more difficult. Loneliness is the fallout shelter for such a person. Not their idea of happiness. Not mine.
There is a saying that goes something like this: “the more attention that is given to something the more powerful it becomes.” I would say, in certain circumstances, the same goes for people. Anyway, forgive my blundering, everyone take care.

why talk? to communicate ideas... I suppose one could write instead but if everything were written rather than spoken, we would miss the inflections and the passion of tone... I used to talk all the time... I realized though that the more I talked the less people listened because most of the time, the talk was just filler... nothing of substance could be gleaned from my words... in Jewish lore it is said that we have two eyes, two nostrils, two ears and one mouth so that we can absorb twice as much as we put out... it is also said that the tongue has two guardians... the lips and the teeth... two chances to review in your head what you are about to allow to escape from your lips... words can often lay a more biting blow than a physical blow - the effects of the slap or punch will diminish with time but the trauma of hurtful words can last a lifetime... doesn't even take hate or malice to create a wound with words - can simply be the words of a person who hasn't got a clue how to talk to people... knowing how to speak is not the same as knowing how to talk... some folks shouldn't never attempt it

from the wisdom of the ages... it's not what you say... it's how you say it

Very telling, isn't it?
