:dozey: is extremely useful for expressing multiple things, but its use rarely coincides with the name 'dozey'.

had idea, but nm

Yeah, well Reilly is a scary bloke, so sometimes I'm afraid of looking him in the eyes, or talking to him directly.

Haha, you posted moments before me, so since I thought I was following ms. pickle it would be odd not to use 3rd person.

for a long time I thought Reilly was a chick because of the girl in his 'kill a pet' avi. Somehow I never thought to look at his gender symbol.

:wtf: :thinking: :inquisitive: :shrug:

but that's just it, I'm saying it was a really bad movie with amazing special effects. It's pretty and gimmicky and cool, but it does absolutely nothing for film.

no! really?

maybe, but they've cut it to 3 now, helluva comeback.

*agrees with reilly and edits*

lol, turns out I was looking for the :army: smiley, but decided it didn't quite fit.

*clutches shoulder and recoils dramatically* :army:

perhaps I spoke too soon, as soon as I hit reply he threw his first touchdown pass. :P

lol, watching the game now. I was initially pushing for bama, but now I'm just overcome by pity for Gilbert.

no, did you two get along?

maybe she can help cure your nymphomania :idea2:

this X > 9000 Seriously, it has the originality and complexity of a kindergarten play.

6.5 fixed. that's the discrepancy Nathan has about the movie rating thread, and I have about this thread. Perfection is earned, you don't call a movie perfect because it didn't do anything to make you dislike it. What's separating me from those people you like more than me?

I only started reading him day before yesterday, what's your fave?. I found an old compilation of his works on the shelf and I like him so far, especially 'a country doctor' and 'metamorphosis'.

they all departed

vewwy intewesting. My gut feeling when I first read excerpts of 'Existentialism is a Humanism' is that this added responsibility to represent humanity, as it were, directly contradicted the sense of freedom, alienation and individualism constitutive of existentialism. It makes sense for an existentialist to take on the passionate task of defining who they are, but for Sartre to tack on a sort of duty to humanity (the blueprint you mentioned) seems to suggest that he's almost supporting the idea of a preexisting human essence...since we are no longer just responsible for ourselves, but for everybody (reminds me of Father Zosima in the Brothers Karamazov). or since Sartre's philosophy is clearly distressed and unhappy by the absence of God and a meaningless universe, Maybe he's striving to partially fill this void with his societal blueprint. Is that at all close to what you were saying above? What I also find strange about Sartre is his wavering disposition towards humanism. He compares existentialism to it in his lecture, and then outright attacks it in the book Nausea. I know the term is used in different ways, some of which can oppose and concur with existentialism, but could you help clarify this? What Yossarian says trumps whatever I'm about to say, but I'd say the most direct description of existentialism is in 'Existentialism is a Humanism'. Camus's "The Myth of Sisyphus" is also important, although I'd call him more of an absurdist. As far as novels go, existentialist canon includes 'The Stranger' and 'The Plague' by Camus ('A Happy Death' is also fascinating although he never wanted it published), 'Nausea' by Sartre, 'Notes from Underground' by Dostoyevsky, and stuff by Kafka like 'The Trial'. Nietzsche is also a huge precursor of existentialism, but I haven't read enough of him to suggest anything.
