    i got kicked out of a college class in highschool (it was a trade class) for asking why, and whatnot.... apparently, I was disturbing the class and stopping the learning going on in the class, when I would ask why because I, nor the rest of the class didnt understand...

    then if you planted a tree by your energy, then is your energy within the existing continuance of that life?

    Darwin, left his energy upon the pages of knowledge that is will all our minds; does HE live?


    Life is not being awake. (that is the rrrrrrrrr of today's ideological philosophy)

    Mod hat:

    And here I'd thought this thread had died (as it should have).

    Nonetheless, since it's been resurrected, I do have a request, and a comment.

    Firstly, I think we're in need of a reformulation/clarification of the OP.
    As stated,

    it is meaningless.


    Secondly:


    I fail to see how this remotely is related to the OP.
    Perhaps once the OP is clarified, it may become clear.

    in your opinion

    you clarified it nicely in #4

    and #6 even tuned it

    What EXACTLY do you need?

    DO i have to re-word it (OP), or it is best to leave my mistake and let your #4 and then #6 have their say in correcting my the ignorance of even having to ask 'why'?


    i think it was resurrected because i was missed (maybe i am wrong)
    a reply to #20......

    may i ask, why you making this MOT HAT approach, when you already clarified the inquiry over a month ago?


    i will change the OP if you like but i have no problem with living with my mistakes.

    If you grant that my rewording in #4,

    is correct, then there's nothing left to explore in this thread.

    The answer is known [as it always has been, even given a simple semiotic analysis of the word "why"].




    Then it's offtopic.

    This:



    has no relation to this current (and decided) investigation.

    If you and JC would like to discuss eschatology, feel free to start a new thread on that topic.

    i guess the thread is dead

    Why: is to understand.


    that would make a fine bumper sticker (on each kids car, so NO ONE can turn away, the questions based on law/beliefs)


    Or perhaps a precept of science for the new millenium.

    You wipe your butt because it is dirty. That is the reason, and reason is WHY.

    Funny means you are getting pleasure from something. Nothing funny about someone finding out the truth!

    and what is a good WHITE light

    but a spectrum


    i agree, nothing funny about truth

    while others just can't believe it when they see it, 'WHY'?
