Welcome to The Philosophy Forum!

thanks. I appear to have tripped on my own ego thinking I was oh so clever, trying to run before I could walk on a thread about nothing. I expect it won't be the last time something like that happens. I'm trying to explore ideas, but with limited experience and inadequate aptitude I'm underestimating the amount of effort required of me. I just hope I can still learn and hope I might eventually communicate better. Catch you later ;)

@believenothing
I have faith that you, along with the rest of us, will keep learning and becoming better communicators all while in the pursuit of wisdom.

A good start I imagine, faith. I can't say much about faith yet. Good to know someone has it, maybe better not to introspect too much and instead start a concerted effort to understand others on my part. I've noticed a nasty habit I've got of starting most my sentences with I..

Your first touchstone on your journey down the path of philosophy. 8-)

Faith eludes me but seems to benefit people half the time. Let's hope I can come baring gifts..

Hello. >:) I am Lone Wolf, and I can be slightly evil. In other words, I'm a student pilot, equestrian, attempt photography and play piano and violin. I have no existence nor character besides the things I do...

Faith the the death of reason, the cry of the ignorant and the hope of the desperate.

Hello,

I'm PossibleAaran. I was a member of PhilosophyForums two years ago. The site got new management around the time that I left. I went back to the old site today to find it completely broken. After digging around I found that the old guard had moved here.

I'm a PhD student in Philosophy and teach part time. I'm doing research on External World Realism and Skepticism. I'm also an amateur illustrator.

Nice to meet anyone I haven't met or doesn't remember me.

Hiya Possible Aaran! Welcome to The Philosophy Forum! I am glad you were able to find us and look forward to reading you on the threads!

Hello. Good luck, and welcome. I'm new here, bye for now.

Hi. They say the devil makes work for idle hands. I'm lazy and so half-soaked it never occurred to me you were responding. I don't want to seem ignorant ;-)

:P Haha, pleased to met you!

likewise, take it easy

Thanks and hiya!

I'm a student pilot — Lone Wolf

Cool ! What kind of aircraft ? What do you want to fly eventually ?

To the more experienced members here - are arguments / heated discussions quite commonplace here ? Are there cliques / warring factions of members ?

Are there cliques /warring factions of members? — Aurora

Just one, everyone against Agustino, or rather, Agustino against all.

I'm training on a C-172, which is pretty small. Right now, I'm just working towards a Private Pilot's license without any special ratings besides the 172. I might go for an instrument rating later on, and move up to a 182, but haven't decided yet. Do you fly? :)

Do you fly? — Lone Wolf

Very cool !

No, I'm just an aviation enthusiast ... I love aviation science and accident investigation (the show "Mayday" for example). And, I'm one of those passengers on the flight who sits far from the doors if possible, because I'm terrified of a possible decompression :D

:P Pleased to meet you! Perhaps we may discuss aviation matters in the future! :)

Likewise, and yes, it would be nice to talk aviation sometime ! Happy flying, in the meantime :D

Hi.

Greetings all,
I'm Joe and I'm new to not just this forum, but also philosophy in general. It is an exciting subject an I only wish that it was in the curriculum when I was at school. I hope that you will tear my arguments into tiny, easily refutable chunks so I can analysis your thought processes and better my understanding of the universe :D
