h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just like Justin the Preacher .

Would you like to be emailed an email debate I'm having with a frienda about whether or not cannabis should be legalized? I feel sure you will have something valuable to contribute.

Now THAT was a funny prank. I'm still laughing about it. Totally convincing for a while.
Okay, sure. Actually, I'll put my address on my personal space, been meaning to do so for ages.

If you want, just email me. [email protected] . I'm not worried about junkmail, I get so much already I wouldn't notice any more.

and by the way;
think bout the life...
it s so short and hard...really hard...
all people have become from a spermatozoid and an ovarium..and think bout the crossing-over and the combinations..
i wanna explain ; the probability of YOUR(!) life...
the probability of becoming YOU(!) is so *ucking LOW..!
so what s the meaning of life ?
people must have a goal in their life..
and the big question_?
what s the goal of ur life.._?
(i think this is the suitable & designationable question..)
SO ?
take it easy...

I like your conclusion.

But I'd disagree that "people must have a goal in their life.."

Why?

Anyway, a goal and a meaning are different. It is the goal of football to score goals; is it the meaning of football to score goals?

"Some people think that football is a matter of life or death. But of course, it's much more important than that."

Bill Shankley

Them eaning of football is to beat the crap out of other people ruthlessly. American football at least. And thoguh tahts not true it sure seems that way.



Football is harmful to our evolution!

No, proper football. Where you hit it with your foot most of the time.

I know. I just thought about american football when football was mentioned.
I like soccer/football a lot better than american football anyway.

I like playing more than watching, and I hate football hooligans.

with soccer/football, yeah, playing is much better. It really isn't that great a sport to watch.

Now with american fotoball I would *not* ever want to play......

btw whats the meaning of death? all this life crap, so...

Can death even have a meaning? I mean, we perceive cold, but there is no entity known as "cold". It is really an absence of heat. Perhaps, even if there is a meaning of life, there is no meaning of death.

Why does death have to have a meaning anyway?

Death is nature's way of telling you to slow down.

hi Roadkill,

Death is also natures way of proving to us that we are alive. After we accept that then we all create our own meaning of life.

az

Oh yes. Pratchettites will immediately think of the Auditors now.

But I believe that the title of thread is not "what is my meaning of life" it is "what is the meaning of life": definite article. We are talking about one thing only, assuming it exists of course.

I try not to think of the Auditors more than is *absolutely* essential.



Noggin the self employed

I like them.

Interesting, wasn't it, how the Spectres in the Dark Materials Trilogy, and the whatjamacallits, things in Harry Potter, Dementors, both appeared at the same time?

C'mon!

You're the fuel behind this convo, when you leave we shut up!




btw what would be the "best" form of civilization you can think of...

Death.
And with that interesting thought, I bid you adieu. Bowling for Columbine's on!
