Ask the Furry Philosopher

Zylos, will you jump off a bridge for me ?_?

Zylos · February 17, 2008, 12:55:56 AM

Only if you jump first.

QuoteLove is choosing to unconditionally meet the needs of another person.

You are very close.

A person I am physically attracted to has done terrible things in the past, and the present. Perfection escapes most people, to speak sarcastically, but what perturbs me the most is the blatant lack of resolve to do better that I see in her. This makes me emotionally and mentally unattracted to her. However, in my deepest of deeps, I know that, if she ever came to me, asking for my shoulder to lean on, I'd lend it to her. Literally.

Good or bad idea?

Does that make me a caring person, or a weak person?

Zylos · February 17, 2008, 02:19:30 AM

In my opinion, it's a good idea. From what I've read of her in bean bags, she's definitely far from perfect (to put it mildly). But if you were in her position and you had no one else to go to, would you want to be turned away? It just shows you're a strong, caring person to let bygones be bygones and help her, despite how you feel about her now.

Why aren't your avatars ever 105X150?

Zylos · February 17, 2008, 02:56:20 AM

Because I suck at scaling images. 105x149 is the closest I can get.

How many strands of hair does a Sprited wolf have? :O

Zylos · February 19, 2008, 09:05:34 PM

Silly, a sprite would have pixels, not hair.

&&&&&&&&&&&&& · February 19, 2008, 11:27:40 PM

Will you use this?

Zylos · February 20, 2008, 12:06:13 AM

No, but since it apparently annoys you so much I'll add another 7 pixels to the one I have.

What do you believe exists after death? Will the conciousness shut down into oblivion, or will it stay alive, either in the sense of heaven or hell, or eternal darkness? If my question makes no sense, then try this. Do you believe in an afterlife, or just that our souls will fade into nothingness?

Zylos · February 21, 2008, 01:42:12 PM

I consider that more along the lines of theology rather than philosophy. I'd rather not turn this thread into some big elitist debate over religion, but since I'm obligated to answer, I'll just PM you my answer and leave it at that.

Next question!

Nightwolf · February 21, 2008, 01:58:51 PM

I just escaped from death, can i say woot?

And can you escape from death?

Zylos · February 21, 2008, 02:14:09 PM

We can avoid death, but we cannot escape death. It is an inevitable part of nature and will find everyone someday.

Nightwolf · February 21, 2008, 03:18:55 PM

Well, i just escaped it. He was infront of a car which was heading towards me, so i like moved and leik i'm alive.

You don't beleive i'm alive, do ya?

Zylos · February 21, 2008, 04:14:40 PM

Yes, you're alive (for now). My point is that you're still going to die sometime within the next 100 years.

Next!

~~Do you believe in magic?~~ There's this girl in my school i want to ask out. Problem is she doesn't want to date anybody untill she's 18, which then she's going to college (not the same one I'm going to). I don't want to wait 3 more years only to never see her again. Any advice on how to convince her to go on a date with me? Any romantic advice?

Kick her in the back of the legs and then stomp on her face.

@BOE - You are neither a furry nor a philosopher, so you may not answer totalinfinity's question.

@totalinfinity - To answer your question, you should kick her in the back of the legs and then stomp on her face.

totalinfinity · February 21, 2008, 07:32:45 PM

HAHAHAHA! No really, what should I do? You're a philosophe, you have advice.

&&&&&&&&&&&&& · February 21, 2008, 07:48:10 PM

He's a Philosopher, not a psychologist.

Zylos · February 21, 2008, 08:06:20 PM

Honestly I don't see how your question has anything to do with philosophy, but whatever. Now then, there are only three reasons I can think of for a girl to not date anyone until they are 18:

1. She doesn't like you (or she is already dating someone), and wants to let you down gently. If this is the case, you should just give it up. She's probably the bitchy type who feels that you are too inferior for her anyways.

2. Her parents forbid her from dating until she is 18. If this is the case, then her parents are probably overly-protective assholes. You would probably do wise to just stay good friends and not get her into any trouble.

3. She doesn't want to get into a relationship that she knows won't last. If this is the case, you might still stand a chance. Just be nice to her and let things slowly develop. Perhaps if you're the type to occasionally go out to movies with your friends, ask her to come along (provided she knows who your friends are). This is the kind of thing you don't plan out, but rather just let things roll along until they either roll in your favor or you give up.

Good luck. Next!
