In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high
esteem. One day an acquaintance came upon the great philosopher and
said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about your friend?"
"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything
I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter
Test."
"Triple filter test?"
"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my
friend, let's take a moment and filter what you're going to say. The
first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you
are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."
"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or
not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what
you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about
him, and you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test
though, because there's one filter left: the filter of Usefulness.
Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to
me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither
true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"
This meyhod of thought is why Socrates is considered one of the
greatest philosophers ever documented. and held in such high esteem.
It also explains why he never found out his best friend was screwing
his wife.

Questions
Something to wake your brain up this morning!
Subject: 5 QUESTIONS
See if you can figure out the answers to these five questions. Answers below
but don't scroll down to them until you're absolutely stuck, OK?
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms.
The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with
loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.
Which room is safest for the murderer?
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5
minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out
together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you
throw it away?
4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
5. This is an unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what it is? It
looks so plain you would think nothing is wrong and, in fact, nothing is
wrong! It is unusual, though. Study it, and think about it and you still may
not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try
to do it without any coaching!

Guess What :-)
You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually
either male or female.
Here are some examples:
FREEZER BAGS:
They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right
through them.
PHOTOCOPIERS:
These are female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up
again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are
pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong buttons.
TYRES:
Tyres are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated.
HOT AIR BALLOONS:
Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a
fire under their a*se. Then of course, there's the hot air factor.
SPONGES:
These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.
WEB PAGES:
Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting
hit on.
TRAINS:
Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up
people.
EGG TIMERS:
Egg timers are female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the
bottom.
HAMMERS:
Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are
occasionally handy to have around.
THE REMOTE CONTROL:
Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It
easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't
always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying
either male or female.

It's Monday, I'm back at work and still bored
A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried
this creative defense: "My client merely inserted his
arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles.
His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can
punish the whole individual for an offense committed
by his limb."
.
"Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic,
I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment.
He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."
.
The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's assistance
he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench,
and walked out.

Harry is getting along in years and finds that he is unable to perform
sexually. He finally goes to his doctor who tries a few things, but nothing
seems to work. So the doctor refers him to an American Indian medicine man.
The medicine man says, "I can cure this." That said, he throws a white
powder in a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke.
Then he says, "This is powerful medicine. You can only use it once a year.
All you have to do is say '123,' and it will rise for as long as you wish"
The guy asks, "What happens when I don't want to continue?"
The medicine man replies: "All you or your partner has to say is 1234, and
it will go down. But be warned - it will not work again for another year."
Harry rushes home, eager to try out his new powers and prowess. That night
he is ready to surprise Joyce. He showers, shaves, and puts on his most
exotic shaving lotion. He gets into bed, and lying next to her says, "123."
He suddenly becomes more aroused than any previous time in his life - just
as the medicine man had promised.
Joyce, who had been facing away, turns over and asks, "What did you say 123
for?"......................................

The Goldfish Bowl
The Goldfish Bowl
==================
Come with me to a third grade classroom...
There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a
sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his
pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he
cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never
happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he
will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll
never speak to him again as long as he lives. The boy believes
his heart is going to stop, he puts his head down and prays --
"Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes
from now I'm dead meat."
He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a
look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is
carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips
in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water
in the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to
himself, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule,
the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him
downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants
dry out. All the other children are on their hands and knees
cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as
life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has
been transferred to someone else - Susie.
She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. "You've done
enough, you klutz!" Finally, at the end of the day, as they are
waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers,
"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once too."

Taking Life Seriously
Thoughts For Those Who Take Life Too
Seriously :-)
Save the whales. Collect the whole set.
A day without sunshine is like, night.
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
Honk if you love peace and quiet.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.
He who laughs last thinks slowest.
Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.
Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7 of your week.
A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
Get a new car for your spouse. It'll be a great trade!
Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.
Always try to be modest, and be proud of it!
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand...
OK, so what's the speed of dark?
How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.
Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.

It also depends on how hard it is to come by. I don't make a lot so yeah...it is a lot of money....for others....it is virtually nothing.....
The Psychotherapist:-))
A psychotherapist was having a roaring business since he started from
scratch. So much so that he could now afford to have a proper shop banner
advertising his wares. So he told a kid to paint the sign board for him and
put it above his shop entrance.
But, instead of his business building up, it began to slacken. He had
especially noticed the ladies shying away from his shop after reading the
sign board. So he decided to check it out himself.
Then he understood why!
The boy found a small wooden board so he had split the word into the 3
words: Psycho-
the-
rapist.

Fat Free French Fries:-))
I stopped at a fast food restaurant recently. I was fascinated by a sign
which offered Fat Free French Fries. I decided to give them a try. I was
dismayed when the clerk pulled a basket of fries from the fryer which were
dripping with fat. He filled a bag with these fries and put them in my
order.
"Just a minute!" I said. "Those aren't fat free."
"Yes, they are. We only charge for the potatoes... The fat is free!"

'Nuff Said
Tony Blair and his driver were cruising along a country road one
night when all of a sudden they hit a pig, killing it instantly.
Tony told his driver to go up to the farm house and explain to the
owners what had happened.
About 1 hour later Tony sees his driver staggering back to the
car with a bottle of wine in one hand, a cigar in the other and his
clothes all ripped and torn.
"What happened to you", asked Tony.
"Well, the Farmer gave me the wine, his wife gave me the Cigar
and his 19 year old daughter ripped my clothes off and gave me a blow
job."
"My God, what did you tell them", asks Blair.
The driver replies, "I'm Tony Blair's driver, and I just killed the
pig".

How To Cope
Sometimes a man has to choose
And do something he doesn't wanna do
Do I live my life with you as my wife
Or do I go on and pursue my lifetime dream
I gotta do this for me
Cuz if I don't I'll probably regret it
But if I do I'll probably regret it
How do I cope
How do you cope when
The one you love is with somebody else
And there's nothing you could do about it
How do I deal with
The fact that you had a chance
But you chose to turn away for your career
I gotta take it though it's heartbreakin'
It's something that I had to do
But nobody said that it would hurt so bad
So how do I live...how do I deal without you
It's killing me to know
That your heart's with me
But you're with him cause I chose
To be in this industry
Money, shows, and hoes come along with luxury and pain
Is all you see when you think about it
But this is the life that I was given
So I have to live it to the fullest
But how do I deal in the meantime without you
How do you deal when you can't be with
the one you love but the one you love is
with somebody else
What do you do when you know she don't love him
but she love me but she cant stand lovin' you faraway
you just deal with it,deal with it
(I dont wanna have to live with it)
you just deal with it,deal with it
(no,no,no)
you just deal with it,deal with it

Well, this is exactly my point...the world is full of narrow-minded women like you who only want men for one thing: sperm.
If you actually stop to think about, many of the most significant advances in human history have been achieved by those who chose to dedicate their lives to other purposes than just reproduction.
And actually, my mother is well aware of my desire not to procreate and is very supportive of it.
When you're old and wrinkly and on your deathbed, what will you be able to look back upon and say you've achieved, other than merely adding to the groaning burden of an already overpopulated planet?

RE: Kids
If women are narrow minded and want men only for sperm, then men are only some jerks that think about sex.
I know a girl that doesn't want kids, but she's married..
Anyway, good luck..

RE: Kids
could only be said by a guy who never had a close relationship and has not got kids. when u r in love , and want kids , and make love to make kids .. wow ......
oh i have 3 hehe and the best thing i have ever done ..

RE: Kids
I strongly doubt that a mother would call the ones that can't have kids, they are not women. We all know to make the difference between "can't" and "won't" so.. we're talking about different categories here :)
RE: Kids
Life is incomplete without children. You get to live you life again and try not to make the same mistakes you do. You totally enjoy their triumphs and support them when they fall. And when you get old they can be your best friends and comfort if you raised them right...........
RE: Kids
You get to live your life again............ Thank God you were not my parent. You sound like one of those parents that tries to achieve all their failed dreams through their children.
RE: Kids
I don't think comment was to be understood like that. I believe it was meant to mean you can teach your kids not to do the same mistakes you've done. You could teach them what's the better way to get ahead in life without making the same mistakes. How to become better person than you (me) are. I don't really think anyone would want to teach how to be worse than yourself. Everyone (who I know) tries to be proud of his/her child(ren). Some of them tries to give their children things what they didn't have when being kids, but it doesn't mean they're living the whole young life though them. Only to give them better chance to be more "perfect" human beings.
RE: Kids
Thanks for the intelligent replies, it's good to know that some people (and some women) actually think about these things rather than blindly following a biological imperative.
The non-intelligent replies were I guess written by those who are precisely that.
As for you, director, it sounds like you're living the dream. Good luck to you, but did it ever occur to you that you were designed to feel like that?....

RE: Do you believe in God?
what is? I don't believe there is a god but maybe a force of nature that we have no control over. all we can do is live within it's boundaries and if we try to go over those boundaries we have to suffer the consequences.
RE: Do you believe in God?
If the soul is immortal then it existed always. How come we don't remember anything before we were born then? I say it is the same when we die.........................
For those that can't handle that then there is religion......................I have no problem with that either.

RE: Do you believe in God?
Hmmmm hard question to answer really.. Do we believe in someone or something that we have never seen, only what we read about..
For me i don`t believe, and i know many will disagree with me on this, but if he really existed and sits where ever he sits watching over us, then why does he not help when we really need it.. Yes and i know u will say, cos he gave us a choice, free will, but to me i think thats a cop out, so that we will have faith in something or someone...
But anyway i lost my believe when i was in my teens, going to mass every week listening to the same thing over and over again.. Nothing new, just same old boring things, and was then i decided whats the point of it all, so i stopped going.. That was 23 years ago.. But i don`t think i have lost my faith altogether cos i still pray in my own way..
But back to the question at hand... I don`t believe in God, as i think its up to the individual on how he lives his/her life, and what choices they make.... Ohh well thats my thoughts on it anyway... So take care all and have a gr8 weekend.. :)

RE: Do you believe in God?
if you don't believe in god who do you pray to,that voice in your boxer shorts telling you naked is the way? :--))))
RE: Do you believe in God?
Nope, I don't. Lost my faith, if I really ever had any, 5 years ago... and little by little before that..
Why not? Because I have no proof he exists.. I trust more my friends rather than some being that's up there... asking us to pray and believe.. believe what? he'll do something for us? riiight.

RE: Do you believe in God?
yes there is a god - clearly the universe has come about somehow.
But I dont believe god is the way religion describes it.
If the soul exists then it must be a sub-atomic particle that cannot be destroyed. It's pretty much like energy - it changes form and never can be destroyed. Therefore, reincarnation is beliveable.
Some belive God in the religious sense is man made -
Michealangelo painted the 16th chapel illustrating God contained in a heaven like shape remarkably similar to the shape of the human brain.
Many think this is code - basically implying that God is dreamt up by the minds of humans"

RE: Do you believe in God?
Yes there is a God. And for those who don't beleive it, I pray for you. You quesiton why he isn't there for you when u need him? Its because u have rejected Him and His son Jesus Christ. If you want His help, you must truly beleive, and seek Him in your time of NEED. Notice i said NEED, not desires.
RE: Do you believe in God?
Why do you feel the need to pray for those of us who don't believe in God ?
Why do people who truly believe still get diseases that kill them at a young age ?
Why do babies who have never sinned sometimes die ?
Is it okay for a man to beat his wife as it is not forbidden in the 10 commandments ?
Sorry if I am going on a bit as I have nothing against religious people but I do not like religious people that seem to think that non religious people are somehow bad people who need to be saved from themselves.

RE: Do you believe in God?
The bible tailors Jesus to fit the part of a messiah.
Sure he was a good guy - probably was in tune with the world around him and he resonated for it.
But his magic is described in the jewish bible the previous 1000 years before christ was even born
E.g. walking on water, making a paralysed man walking again, feeding the 5000. etc etc. These are all described as happening and performed by others since the time of moses.
Just seems a little coincidental that Jesus comes along and performs all these again.
More likely some exageration took place !!

RE: Do you believe in God?
as already some mentioned before theres a wide range of what is called god.
im not the one who visits the church.....if there is a god i can meet him everywhere....im can even be much closer to him (or her) when im on the top of a mountain.......or in the middle of the desert
i dont believe in the old man with the withe hair managing all lives down here........but i believe in Love and its power........i guess that is what i would call god........any kind of Love

RE: Do you believe in God?
Don't bother praying to some Mythical being on my behalf. If there was some Omnipresent being then we would not see children massacred by evil adults nor women raped by men nor would there be so many wars in the name of "religion". Its a complete load of fantasy that is nearly as beievable as Father Christmas or the tooth fairy. I have no problem with anyone who believes in whatever God they want to. Just don't try to make me believe the same
RE: Do you believe in God?
I agree. I believe there is the balance of Power in which we live in. It doesn't need church to be able to feel good. It can be sitting by a river listening the sounds of water. Or in the middle of the forest. Or at home. Wherever you will find your peace for your mind. Basically you are the Power, you give the strength for yourself. And you're the one who has to balance it between good and bad thoughts... It's you who gives yourself the power to survive or give up.
RE: Do you believe in God?
The intelligent design we see in ourselves and all nature,
prove that there is some supreme being or intelligence.
Who or what that may be is a matter of belief.
I believe in God. Personally I see God as seperate from much of
organized religion. Thats because organized religion is often either
political, business or cult. True religion does not vilolate human rights, is not interested in worldly gain, helps people and nature.
The world is what we make it. God gives us freedom of choice
as a gift. Why would be want to be robots?
Think of the smile we get from someone, words of love, acts of kindness. These mean something because people choose to do
them. They make life exciting and meaningfull.
I remember back in school. In class we learned that there were
enough nuclear warheads to destroy the whole earth a few times over. I believe God sets limits for man and nature.
No we should never ignore the evil that happens.
For our own peace and sanity we need to see all the good
that is in our world too :)

RE: Do you believe in God?
I believe in "good and evil", You may wanna call it "God and Devil"..
RE: Do you believe in God?
I agree with many things here but doing good things doesn't mean there is a God. Each to thier own I suppose
