Were these the threads you were looking for? I had a good laugh at reading them once again.

Not the dreaded FRIDGE thread..

No... all is well.
It's your 2nd option which is bovine (I went to the big bad city of Auckland for a while & missed it)

No woodchipper there - only a freezer. But finding a ruminant will do.

Certainly those I have owned never had to eat woodchips, but there's no accounting for what some people will feed their animals.

220862 2004-03-09 11:48:00 Steak & eggs = protein

Protein = stamina

Stamina = what they need to ignore you while you're glaring at the counter 		Laura (43)

"I think therefore I am" Rene Descartes.

So yes, it is entirely possible that we are all extensions of Jack's existence and entirely subject to his whim. Watch out all you insolent sales staff. :D 		Winston001 (3612)
220864 2004-03-10 05:57:00 Ah!. Rene Descartes. A philosopher, soldier and mathematician. Mainly known today as one of the founders of Cartesian geometry.

His statement “I think, therefore I exist” (actually cogito, ergo sum) was originally postulated by him as the most fundamental and self-evident truth on which a rationalist (or deductive) approach to knowledge could be based.

Descartes’ program for advancing knowledge this was subsequently lampooned by Laplace in his much-quoted statement of (the classic exposition of) pure determinism (also for those interested if any – unlikely in this forum-, considered more fully in Immanuel Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason”.

The quote by Descrates was I think not intended by him as a statement on the primacy (or at least the equality) of the individual over the group. Probably more appropriate for this purpose are John Stuart Mill’s thoughts in his “Essay on Liberty”:

"If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."

I always liked that one. 		rugila (214)
220865 2004-03-13 06:53:00 Just a tip of the hat to Rugila for the interesting epigram on Descartes. I'm only vaguely familiar with Cartesian Dualism and always willing to learn.

Thanks.

220866 2004-03-13 10:43:00 Try research and a spell checker. Having read earlier posts you have a reason to spell "the" using "teh"

Consistent though as I see it.

Want to buy Steak and Eggs do you?

Try the three R's.

To that you may add the fourth.

Research! 		Elephant (599)
220867 2004-03-14 04:02:00 I am sure glad I left appliance/electronic retail 6 years ago, after 14 years of trying to please every possible personality, preconceived ideas of what sort of service they will or wont get, doing your best for bugger all pay and being berated for it! Jester (13)
