Imponderable Irreverence Troubles Me

Philly, I believe athnostics subscribe to a hybrid philosophy around agnosticism and atheism.

Wow, thanks, Shal - I hadn't thought of that. :encouragement:

Now I'm trying to figure out how that would work in real life ... "NO!" "I don't know ..." NO!" "I don't know ..." :D

Please don't regret starting this thread Imp, as I for one have been very interested in peoples opinion in respect of this.

The thing is Imp, nowadays most people seem to be easily offended by something or other.
I mean, perhaps I could tell you a really naughty joke and you would laugh, but someone else would think I was a rude low life.

And of course trying to discuss to navigate the emotive issues of Religion and Politics is like trying to navigate a minefield.

Me?
If I had my way, I would ban the both of them as they are both nothing but Trouble in anyones language.
No offence meant of course!:cool:
 
"Please don't regret starting this thread Imp"

Well! If I may indulge a bit of nonsense: your username belies existence of a profound level of human understanding. The Humanities were, though, my weakest academic achievement, thus any conclusions I may draw regarding philosophical or psychological stances are based strictly upon pragmatic consideration.

In simpler terms, your post I view as a shining light! imp

No offense taken of course. We have had many discussions long before your arrival and it was decided to put "Hot issues" in it's own forum making it easy for those so disposed to navigate around. The key here is you don't "have it your way" but the forums provide refuge should you seek it by simply avoiding those posts. It's mostly we here in the USA that post politics and religion and we enjoy airing our views. Enjoy the rest of the forums.

"but the forums provide refuse" (said AZJim)

Ha! Occasionally, a slipped key provides utter humor through enigma! "Refuge" of course, was intended? :oops:

Yes, you are right. I occasionally make mistakes, in fact sometimes very humorous ones. When I see others do that here I usually slip them a PM so they can edit it. Anyhow, "to err is human, to forgive, divine".
 
Most of the stuff on this forum is just chatting and opinions, we don't have to be absolutely correct or perfect. Agree, some venting can be cathartic, as long as its in good faith, and not vitriolic. Its good to express yourself.
 
Mental health is a flexible thing, and can be adhered to, or ignored in the short term [usually]without long-term consequences.
 
Yep. Mental health is a thing of thirds. Regardless of treatment or lack thereof, approx, 1/3 will get better, 1/3 will worsen, and 1/3 will remain the same. Food for thought. What is healthy anyway? The capacity to function? Unless one is obviously
psychotic, diagnosis says as much about the person making it as the client.

Deep stuff, Shal! It'll be a blankin' Christmas Tree before I understand that! Some cases of "I need to Know", become pale exposed to the light. imp

I dunno about deep, Imp. However, I fervently believe many of my colleagues in the mental health profession would benefit deeply from regular cerebral enemas. Lolololol.

Just amusing myself by picturing a group of shrinks getting together for dinner and all being afraid to say anything for fear of being analyzed by everyone else.

Underock, it happens more often than you think. Even more fun when you mix therapists with cognitive shrinks aka rat psychologists/psychiatrists. Add booze and stir! I must admit, my irreverence has provoked a teeny bit of conflict on occasion. One highlight was when the head shrink of Vancouver General Hospital called me a polysyllabic epithet, and poured champagne over my head. Good vintage too! I dined out on that for months. Lol.

I wonder if the "Champagne Treatment" also follows the Law of Thirds ...
