Astrology

oh, he means like the period of time, The Dark Ages ... the Lords & Ladies & Medieval Castles & all that?

he thinks astrology is that? why would he compare those two things?

One is a time & place, isn't it? Astrology is studying where planets are when & what influence they have on us, right?

 

Yup

 

why did you say I'm so not dark ages?

guess I'm very s-l-o-w tonight.

the guy was talking about how meaningful or not our funerals were going to be and I really didn't want him to be concerned about that! cause ... well, because it is pretty insignificant what happens when you are dead.

poor guy has enough on his plate. :H

 

I was being sarcastic and referring to him saying we were stuck in the dark ages. So you said something not superstitious, and thus you are not in the dark ages.

 

oh. ok. thanks. I didn't know that the dark ages were superstitious or that I said something that wasn't.

I just thought the guy had kind of a wierd & bitter post.

I didn't think he should really care about my funeral, my body when it is dead, how many people are at my funeral, what food they serve, what songs they sing ... it's kinda moot at that point doncha think?

you have to live here & now and do the best you can. If some people want to study or read about astrology, that really shouldn't concern those who don't.

I'm not going over to a ... let's see ... an airplane board & angry that people are learning about airplanes, or witches, or rainforests, or whatever ...

whatever floats your boat!

/end of soapbox. sorry. I just didn't really get his post, other than he disapproves or something.

 

Let's say someone gave me a good hint

 

Bah, the thing about your lives being useless because you're stupid? That was wrong, because I'm a practitioner myself of the philosophy that people shouldn't worry about what their lives will "mean", but to just have fun and find personal meaning. However, I stick to my guns on this truth: Astrology IS a dark age science, a "study" in the same sense as alchemy. Why did they abandon alchemy? Because chemistry and common sense gradually disproved it. Why didn't astrology suffer the same fate? Because prophecy and prediction are VASTLY more difficult to put to the test scientifically, especially when someone's horoscope says something like "Try new things today" instead of something more specific. It's an ambiguous art form, and one that can be easily mistook for accurate when a vague prediction comes true.
For those of you who counter attacked, thank you. I am only comfortable in the heat of battle! And by the way, if you're asking what the dark ages are, you're an idiot! Also, someone called me dumb for saying astrology is remminisant of the dark ages. No, if you can put this into your little head, I wasn't saying astrology was a castle with lords and ladies in it. I was showing that it was of the type of thought that flourished in the dark ages, along with fundamentalism, divine right, etc. Enlil6 was right. Carrotperriewinkle was an idiot.
Astrology has never performed well in ANY kind of controlled experiment. Does this simple fact mean anything anymore? Do any facts mean anythign anymore? Do you not realize the harm in "live and let live"? In being left to your simple belief, as "harmless" as it is on the surface? Wake up, for the love of god!

 

I love that period, Knights, princesses, romance, adventures, Castles, chivalrous conduct.....etc

Of course if i'm to be rich then.

 

hahahahaha

 

I never called Carrotperriewinkle an idiot. I pretty much think you're an idiot though not because you disagree with me, but you clearly wanted to start a fight. Like I said I like a lively debate, but you are not debating. You just want to prove you are "right" whatever that is.

You're making a lot of assumptions dude about history, science and astrology. The ancient Greeks, who practiced astrology knew the Earth revolved around the Sun. Galileo, who was an astrologer, got the idea from reading Classical Greek and Roman science. Like I said in my earlier post, it's not my job to convince you. Nothing I will say will change your mind. Let me say one thing though: come back in a few years when you either educate yourself or you decide to give up and relax in the comfort of Scrubs reruns and give up. You have some learning to do and growing up to do. You're a cocky 18 year old who thinks you have things figured out. You don't.

 

Woah... I know Galileo was an astrologer. Astrology by defenition is doen with SCIENTIFIC observation. It's the "science" after the observation that deteriorates into bullshit. PS: You didn't call her an idiot. I DID. PS: I don't think I "have things figured out" with the meaning of life, my career path, etc... but with this? I and every other rational person "have things figured out."

 

And one more thing: I know what I am doing is in it's very nature IDIOTIC and morally detestable. Why am i doing it? I'm not a "cocky" 18 year old. I'm just a bored one, and I like touching on people's nerves... show's how mature I am! lmfao, you guys are fun play things.

 

I have been asked by Chronic to join into the fray.

This is my response.

I'm not going to support you. I'm not going to bash these people because they believe in something, because they have the right to believe what they want as long as it doesn't infringe on the basic rights of others. Instead, I bash the belief itself, and show them how it's wrong so that they may make their own decisions. I am not a believer in shoving things down other's throats to make them agree with my side, because that's what they are trying to do.

If I merely bash them, there is no result in the end. Neither side wins. The debate is merely carried on hundreds more times until we're all dead.

I am not a supporter of astrology, and in fact I detest it. However, there are far better, far more reasonable ways to deal with it.

Merely saying they are wrong wins no battles.

 

Here you contradict your self, it seems you are Real stupid.

Here you are wrong as usual: alchemy was not abondoned ! read

" Thanks to Paracelsus, alchemy shifted its focus toward the preparation of medicines, stimulating a new form of medical chemistry, also known as iatrochemistry. Alchemy continued on its path throughout the modern age, while chemistry progressively broke away to become a separate science."

And for your knowledge Alchemy was not invented in dark Ages, rather in
Alexandria - Egypt.

here you proved again you are an Idiot, and not anyone else.

And your porve ??? or is it because you said it.


The only thing i find reasonnable, is your wish that people should not let themselves to facts without examining.

Which we Did.

Therefore your overall grade will = ---------->

 

We pretty much had that figured out on the 1st page. Yes you are cocky - bored possibly, but definitely cocky, which by the way is consistant with your ascendant which is Leo.

 

We did not issue invitations to join us, so let's stop being over-wise.

After a socend thought you deserve same grade as your friend:

Here it goes ...............>

 

Oh a wise-guy huh?

Excuse me while I adjust my medieval codpiece.

 

hahahahaha
