what is the meaning of life?

Let's not get the biological goal and the philosophical meaning mixed up, now.

The meaning of life... thats technicalyl its definition...
Now I wouldn't call it a "meaning" really but I certainly think that whatever it is its to procreate.

Due to the meaning of life, as you give it, the planet is rapidly becoming overpopulated.

Yeah, but it's still the "meaning" of life.

I'm still dodgy about procreation as the meaning of life.

Read the top post of this page TO REALISE I HAVE A POINT! w00t yeah.

Wow. That's the first person ever to directly agree with me on this thread. Maybe I can get AK to agree, too. Maybe next time it'll be something intellectually stretching.
Hoho, on an irrelevant topic, in the God? thread they were blathering about intellectual stretchability, AND THE PAGE SCREWED UP AND WENT SMALLER THAN NORMAL! *Wipes tears from eyes* Oh, that was classic.

Blathering?
I seem to remember an exchange of witty repartee on the subject; must have missed the blathering.
Yeah, hootoo's done that to me a couple of times today, too. Post 3 at the top of the page; that kind of thing.

What might have *seemed* like witty repartee...
Any comment/new subject to say? I'm dying under the lack of intellectual stretching in this thread!

I have nothing intellctual to say and you're gonn a be really pi$$ after it says someone's posted and its not what you wanted to see.
Before you get real mad start a train of thought with some word...hmm... ... how about politics.
(wtf)

No, I truly can't think of anything to say/talk about/intellectual/etc.
Matrix Revolutions which I saw 15 minutes ago says the meaning of life is to end

Mal Posted Nov 9, 2003
No, it didn't. It said the meaning of life was balance and choice which ultimately balances. Which is a little of a contradiction. It also said that everything that has a beginning has an end. Gasp. I really don't like the neodeterminism in that film...

That film sucks. The fight scenes are nothing we haven't seen before, the philosobabble annoys me, and the ending and numerous points in the film are so damn hollywood I want to vomit.
"But Sir, I haven't completed the training programme!"
"(dying gasp) Neither did I!"
I am enjoying the lack of intellectuality.

Mal Posted Nov 9, 2003
Fight scenes? What fight scene*s*? Oh THAT fight scene. It was boring. Like I say, I lose track of the amount of times a big deal is made of Neo getting up. And half the philosobabble that it started with was never concluded. What about Smith being an anti-Neo? What about the God/fate way that the Oracle (pretty awful Oracle, all she ever says is "I don't know" or "you make your own choices") and the Architect play with us? What about the idea that it is all a dream? I think the brothers W. went in over their own heads. They couldn't even decide on determinism/free will.

Researcher 185550 Posted Nov 9, 2003
The ones with the sentinels. They were all over the place, fight scenes. It was fight with philosobabble in the middle.
The new oracle's annoying as well. Still, they couldn't make their own choice where that was concerned.
Worth the money to see it though, it wraps things up, even if it does so in a cr@p way.

What is this word, cratp?
Well, that was intellectually stretching.
