Ever wonder what the bloody point of it all is?

[Harrie]

Heh. I do! :eek:

Figured you guys would come up with some crazy answers and cheer me up.

[lufbra]

That's not the bloody point of this forum. :p

[smurfy]

42!

[Vercades]

The point of it all is to not think about the point of it all. This is just a mentality that many get sucked into then it's hard to get back out. Just telling it like it is..

[Nick Grana]

Your point may be in one or more of these:
Conventional religion
Science
Power, that is, dominance and submission
Artistic and aesthetic worth
Traditional political categories
Material wealth and security
Romanticism and relationships
Honor, valor, and courage
Bigotry, racism, and exclusivity
Depth psychology (Freud, Jung, etc.)
Humanism and "new age" psychology
Traditional philosophy

What's it all about, Alfie?:confused:

[zipulrich]

Harrie, take a look at that chair you're sitting in. That's the point!! :)

[Ned Seagoon]

The point is that there is no point. So have fun doing something pointless. :D

[black mirror]

Try poking yourself in the eye with a pointy stick.. you will see the point in that alright:D

[sho-dan]

think of a circle,get the point :D

[black mirror]

If there is a point to all of this i missed it:D
If theres a plot missed that to( or is that too):D
And where do all the odd socks go???:confused:
And the easiest way to confuse an Irishman line 10 shovels in a line and tell him to take his pick:D

Chin up my sweetpea :thumbsup:

PS, I'll keep an eye out for you http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=576459#post576459

[Harrie]

ROTFL, that eyebrow sure could use a trim, snurfen! But that big blue eye watching out for me, oooh la la!

Ha, I knew you'd all come through, and you did!

I think the closest for me is power, Nick. I want power....but not power as in domination, power as in brain power! These fish oil pills seem to be having no effect whatsoever, ha!

Well, you folks have a good and pointless day!

[renegade600]

Whats the point of a point when you dont truly understand the point of a point in the first place ????
Get the point: D :D

[DELTREE]

The POINT of it all is? you don't want to know!!
I just live my life!
1. GOD
2.Family
3.Country
The rest is?what the POINT!!

Well after reading this i dont think theres much point in the future :D :D

Good night, would you look at that! Ha!

..a one in 1000 risk of colliding with Earth early next century..
Next century? Whew. I thought it may be next week.:D
We had the Big Bang to start us up and, apparently, a Big Bang will shut us down.:cool: I'll try to not think of it if you won't.;)

[Harrie]

I'll forget! :rotflmao:

Ah, one of our mustachioed mods form the Deep South swears blind that the fatty oils from the fish work a LOT better if their beneficiary radiations are bounced back by a tinfoil hat.
Allegedly.

[Pi rules]

think of a circle And then think of how to find the circumference, and what irrational constant you will need for that calculation. ;)

Hope you cheer up soon! :)

PS:
We had the Big Bang to start us up and, apparently, a Big Bang will shut us down.:cool: Not necessarily. It depends on a lot of factors. There's a good link here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_fate_of_the_universe) with a brief introduction to this topic if anyone wants to read it, which I recommend. I did a paper on dark matter, which may determine the ultimate fate of the universe.

[Nick Grana]

In cosmology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology), the Big Crunch is a hypothesized (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis) collapse of the universe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe) upon itself after its expansion eventually stops — a counterpart to the Big Bang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang).
I expect that happening long after an asteroid blows us up.:sad: That, also, would make for a 'Big Crunch'.
I also ponder our sun burning out. Fortunately, we wouldn't know about it for 8 minutes followed by an instant freeze process.....of us all.:D
(excluding telescopes and the likes to see it coming/going within that 8 minutes)
Got 8 minutes to live. What would you do?
I'd start praying real fast just in case.:cool:

[degsy]

Harrie, i've just had 4 cans of Fosters, 1 Jim Beam & Coke, 2 Hot Dogs with fried onions, mustard and tommy k.

I'm happy until I have to get up for work in a few hours. Simple things make me happy :D

[Mike1]

Gotta love a philosophical thread! If you don't see the point of it all, you don't have enough goals. Achieving goals gives you a sense that there really was a point to what you were doing.

[lufbra]

For Harrie, the point could be, "why is my cookie jar empty"? :p

[oink]

Love

[AnnMarie]

Hey Harrie, not a funny answer but some believe that "the point" is to correct past mistakes (in other words "your core", or whatever you want to call it, returns until it attains perfection and merges with the collective unconscious..a bit like the Web). ;)

A very contentious idea and please, I understand that this ideology may contradict some religious doctrines so, for those that want to quote the bible, can you refrain from espouting please. :) Non emotive answers and sensible altenatives are fine.

I subscribe to no religion however if one believes "there is a point to life", I can see no other.

So take your lumps girl, its gonna make you a better person. :D

Nick, fear not. Don't forget the heat generated within the Earth itself, and the heat fossil fuels can provide us. Personally, I'd be more worried about us flying out of orbit (and into something else), or even worse, caught in the Sun's supernova (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova).

[Snurfen]

Annie, you been watching "My name is Earl" again ?

Comedy. Thats the point sometimes. A good laugh, for whatever reason, puts me back on the straight and narrow.

Im more worried that i will wake up one morning and all my hair has fell out:D than being scorched or singed , or that someone will post Snurfen And Mr Bean in pink tutus dancing with singing mongooses. but then it has been a long day:D

You would never catch me with that stuff its horrible :D

[Mr1drful]

Fish oil for brains ?
Made entirely from fish that were too stupid to avoid getting caught.

Carrots for eyesight ?
Carrots don't even have eyes. Shouldn't this be potatoes ?

Lucky rabbit's foot
Only lucky if the rabbit had 5 to start with.

The POINT is ...
Life gives us the chance to experience brief moments of intense emotion.
( love, hate, joy, sorrow ....)
This is what we were born to discover and why we are here.
If ANY one of us was not here, it would effect someone else's chance to feel an emotion.
For instance,
If YOU were never here, there are thousands of members that would miss the feeling of joy !

Take a tip from my favorite quote.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.
Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
Albert Camus

[Nick Grana]

Good points, Mr1derful.;) Im more worried that i will wake up one morning and all my hair has fell out:D
Don't brag. You have hair and my eyebrows are constantly getting farther and farther away from my hairline.:D
I will shave myself bald before I do any 2 strand comb-overs.
Not there yet.:happy:

[Snurfen]

Seconded, good post Mr1derful :D

Your right Nick, it's far more dignified to play the hand your dealt than to try and cover up. nobody is fooled by that comb over malarky, no matter how eloborate. :rotflmao:
