The ultimate in rude behaviour.It would have to be jabbering away with someone in a language you know a third person present doesn't understand. When you do that to someone, it reveals you don't consider them to be important enough to take part in the conversation; it's the... See More »
Something strange and dark happened around the year 2020, and no, I'm not talking about the virus.I don't quite know how to put it, but things definitely took a turn for the worse around the year 2020. Everything now just seems... 🤮 People aren't the same. They're just not. Something is seriously wrong with the world today, and I don't think... See More »
K-Mart and shopping malls.I've heard that in the United States they don't really have either anymore, which is a shame, because in Australia they're both thriving. It's fun going to the local shopping centre, and just sitting in the food court, eating lunch. A lot of nice,... See More »
Why do so many like to quote Nietzsche so much?I don't get it. What's the attraction? Why is he so popular? To me he comes across as an old, grumpy curmudgeon who'd be the type of person who'd get a thrill from telling little children that Father Christmas isn't real. Or the main character from...

I no longer "support" Israel.I just can't. I did when this whole mess first began, because like most people I was shocked by what had happened on the 7th of October, but since then a lot has occurred, and I'll admit I was really naive. This isn't a battle between good and evil;... See More » (1)
"Your perception of an act decides good and evil." - Agree? Poll (8) See Poll OptionsIt's a quote from someone I recently had a discussion with. Apparently, according to this person, the concepts of good and evil have no basis, no... See More »
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by something like this.There are stupid people on both "sides" of the political spectrum. Like this woman. Well, the Israeli and Greek flags have the same colours, so... (1)
Who Are They?You know, "them". Those people. Um... those who apparently "control the world", or something like that. "They" are mentioned quite a lot, by people who are rather unhinged, by people who are paranoid. I can really relate to this song. I understand... See More » (1)
No, the Government Can't Create HurricanesObviously. I really don't understand why people believe they can. Why are so many so gullible? Anyway, here's the clip. It's worth watching, even though it goes for much longer than most people's attention spans. (1)
England desperately needs regime change.THIS is what they watch over there, on their government-owned and controlled propaganda service, the BBC. Come on American neo-cons, England has valuable resources, like oil, gold, lithium, and every other natural commodity you can name. They need... See More » (1)
I've noticed quite a few atheists like to post their nonsense here in the 'God/Creator' section. Why?Why? Why do they have such a passionate obsession with something they claim to not even believe in? Could it be because, deep down, they're still searching for meaning in their pointless lives, or could it be because they know, deep down, that... See More »
Pseudo-profunditiesI don't know if that's an actual term, but that's what I like to call them. It's when someone says something that, on the surface at least, appears to be "deep" and meaningful, but which is, nevertheless, nonsensical. I present to you Exhibit A:... See More »
Atheists and their lame arguments are turning me back to God.Oh dear. Where do I even begin? I (very recently) had discussions with a couple of people here on SW who, no doubt, think they're rather sophisticated when it comes to their understanding of the deeper philosophical issues, but who are nevertheless...

Is there anyone else here on SW who has received the following message?For the third time, I've had someone send me the following: (Quote) I could give you the guy's name, but apparently it's against the rules here on SW to single out people.
Lying to oneself. How does that work exactly?I just saw a comment from someone saying that he often lies to himself. Wouldn't that be... I don't know. Impossible? Literally impossible, like trying to create a square circle, or find a married bachelor (or honest politician), because in order to... See More »
The 'Experience Project'? What's that?I've never heard of it before. Why is everyone here talking about it? 🤔
Just a friendly reminder that Graham Hancock isn't an actual archaeologist.He's a peddler of nonsense, a grifter. He does what he does for the money, popularity and notoriety.
Elon Musk's "robot" :DI always laugh when I see this. 🤣 A man in a suit. Oh dear. Where's the actual... you know. Robot? (1)
How is this guy not in prison yet?For fraud. I'm sure that Musk's solution to the issues of flat tyres and speed bumps/potholes is some gobbledigook high-tech nonsense that violates the laws of physics and is basically magic. 😂🤣 (1)
Why do people think that we're so special that aliens would ever want to visit us?The question is pretty self-explanatory. Why? Seriously. Isn't this just the latest manifestation of the, very ancient, belief that mankind is located at the centre of all things, that we're the most important thing in the universe, an idea that was...

Yes, they're "unidentified" flying objects.And I really do wish more people would recognise and remember that fact. Just because you happened to see something in the sky that you yourself couldn't quite explain, that does not mean you saw an alien spacecraft! Geez, get over yourself! You're... See More »
Generation Zed. Why were they named after the last letter of the alphabet?Could it be because we all know, deep down, that they'll be the last before things really turn sour?
"We're doomed! DOOMED!" Poll (5) See Poll OptionsThat's what my neighbour likes to say, and it doesn't take much to encourage him. He's largely joking when he does it, being not entirely serious,... See More »
