Hey guys

[Coonage]

Born and raised just outside Canada's capital. I started watching Stef's videos on Youtube awhile back, and have been slowly drawn in more and more ever since.

Now that life has settled somewhat, I am able to stop/look around/listen and try to get a hold on this crazy world and the endless MSM spin. Being a new father of 3, I am already starting to feel the pressure to 'have the answers' and it's dawned on me now, that life "plays for keeps!"

 

I'm not sure if I'll ever get deep into philosophy, but I am looking for the truth, and for the sharp minds that can help bring it . I will do my best to be myself, and hopefully at the end of the day, we all end up a little older and wiser.

Ay you sound like a pretty cool fella.

 

Good to meetcha guy.

Don't worry about getting too deep into the philisoph, there's plenty to learn here for all levels of enthusiasm.

 

What do you mean by fighter? Like MMA?

[Coonage]

Thanks.

 

Yes, there seems to be a 'structure' to philosophy, that I still need to wrap my head around and fully embrace. For the moment anyways, I'm going to try to chime in when I think I know what I'm talking about, and just keep my trap shut when I know I don't.

 

The only sport/competition-type fighting I've ever done, was wrestling in high school. Being 36 now, and looking back at the last 20 years, there really is a comfort level with aggression and the 'physical side' of interactions, that deserves some recognition and reflection. Lots of brawls and dust-ups, (mostly country 'rough and tumble' stuff) which was just a natural part of growing up for us; that I think now, our younger generation is really missing out on. I don't want to go off on a rant here, lol!  Just there is definitely a change in society in my lifetime, where what used to result in maybe a headache, no hard feelings and a good story for the next party, would now result in counselling, criminal charges (and maybe a bullet).  What used to be healthy, "structured" competition, seems to have now morphed into degenerative senseless violence.

 

Who was that, who wrote "The time's they are a'changin"  QFT, eh?

[Ed888]

Heh, follow the same concept for your take on philosophy. Think you pretty much said what I said on my first introductory post or somewhere.

 

Scuffles arn't the same to be sure. I only remember the friendly stuff I had with my brother but lot of folk got stories here of how messed up things could get in public schools enough to make you want to learn how to box.

 

Anyway good to meet you fella, drop by the chat room sometime or shoot whoever a message.

You sound like cool guy.
