    Hi. I'm believenothing. I try to be argumentative but I think I can only disagree with what I understand and that's not much just lately. I guess my main excuse for joining this forum is an attempt to learn something and not just kill more time.

    The only thing I want out of this life is to see the Aurora Borealis just onceAurora

    I saw it like a week ago, though it was pretty dim. I was outside at night with co-workers, and they were looking at it, so I was all like "what dat? An at night rainbow?", and they were all like "no it's the northern lights".

    You know there is also aurora australis, or southern lights as well?

    Welcome Believenothing! The forum is an excellent way to procrastinate while learning things, so long as you read up on what people say.

    Thanks, sounds like my cup of tea, I prefer coffee though.

    Cool ! Lucky you. May I ask where you're located ?

    Yes, I know about Aurora Australis :) I just don't know if I can make it to the Southern hemisphere, though >:O

    Ah, now we're learning more about you! If you live in the states, you could theoretically walk all the way south to the tip of Argentina. Do the lights extend to Argentina?

    No, about an hour south of Lake Erie. Was randomly smoking on my front porch or something and just looked up...

    Interesting. Coolest atmospheric thing I've ever seen here is a sunset behind an approaching storm cloud, painted the cloud and sky red. Was freaky.

    :D

    Yes, I could do that. The lights are visible close to either pole, so they'd be visible from roughly the Southernmost 1/3rd of Argentina. Now, all I need is some endurance.

    I wanted to create a thread that folks who are new to The Philosophy Forum could stop in on and introduce themselves to the forum. And for all The Philosophy Forum members who would like to share a bit about who you are, please feel free to do so~ArguingWAristotleTiff

    I studied human rights law focusing on children. I have lived in Denmark, Turkey and Israel and travelled the Middle East and Europe, but I really fell in love with Israel. I love my job as a specialist working with disadvantaged children.

    My primary goal and what drives and motivates me is helping children and women. I am a foster carer and I hope to adopt sometime soon. But, as a youth worker, I experienced some pretty terrible young men that about a year ago made me realise that I was subjectively too sensitive and I would never be able to affect change until I got stronger.

    I wholeheartedly appreciate fearless and deeply honest and honourable people rather than measure them based on any intellectual or professional strengths. I also think that humour is the key to happiness.

    And I apologise in advance if I offend you. Unless you are @Agustino in which case you can sod off.

    Why is he purple? I thought he was orange.

    So you agree with these ladies:
