• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    BCE/CE or BC/AD?

    I always use BC/AD. It's the fantasy fan in me. Seriously though, the fact that "not all sources agree when Jesus was born" is probably the weakest conceivable argument for changing the system. It's a complete waste of time trying to make sure that every little abbreviation and turn of phrase...

    They should make you translate this kind of stuff for your English exam. I hope they do, actually. Just to punish you for being Portuguese. And short.

    The "Fwee" thread II

    Re: The "Fwee" Thread, Mk II Luckily my course is four years rather than three, which might help a bit. But you're right. The first year's gone incredibly quickly.

    Ethical Systems?

    Well, possibly. I still can't follow your argument. True, sometimes you have to choose between benefiting yourself and benefiting others, but the benefits involved are hardly if ever equal. Saving a child from drowning is an act of altruism, but the costs to you (clothes getting wet) are very...

    Ethical Systems?

    You're setting up a false choice between altruism and egoism. Surely the rational thing to do is to look out for yourself and other people equally.

    Ethical Systems?

    Well yes, that's what Rand's philosophy is called. But that name could refer to a number of different things. I don't think she meant it simply to mean the opposite of subjectivism; subjectivism isn't an ethical theory. Any way, I'm arguing with thunder, not Rand.

    Ethical Systems?

    Whoa, a Randian! I thought you guys were just a story made up to frighten children. Let me admit something: I haven't read Atlas Shrugged (it's quite long). So I don't actually know whether you're misrepresenting Rand's arguments. Presumably, though, hers are at least a bit more convincing...
