Very well. Sounds fascinating for sure.

Not yet, I am working on something Eltu has convinced me to do: astral projection (God, and it sounds bombastic). I'm writing a diary to note my progress. I told him that if I wanted to prove him wrong, I'd have to try it out myself. A shame I didn't remember what proved wrong Plato's theory of Forms, he was talking about something quite similar.

Anyway, I'll take a look as soon as I am able to.

Did you see that video I sent you as well. I even started a thread around it in the debates forum.

Except this time I'll try a lot harder. Perhaps it will be relieving, I've been getting increasingly angry lately over what seems to be nothing, although now I have deduced part of the reason. Anyway, yeah; I'll give it a go tomorrow.

For Autumn? I'd love to see some of your poetry, just like the poem you won an award for

I might plough some effort into love poetry.

You know, I could do it right now in the Para Bellum thread, defeat everyone's arguments before they know what's hit them. Even though I agree with most of them. Which is probably why I'm not going to.

Before I go I want to mention PunkMaister, he agued like that book said, he was just really crap at it. Therefore I even defeated him where he had hard facts and I had heresay evidence.

I think we'd better call it "Para Bellum - Prepare for war" because not everyone knows Latin here Or something less extravagant perhaps, like "War: Massacre or Need?" if you want a cheesy newspaper headline, "The 'Art' of War" or just "War". I let the choice up to you

Whenever you want, by tomorrow I may be replying to the first post

You want me to call it Para Bellum? Sure. Just give the order and I'll add everything you've suggested into the first post.

How about, "Para bellum", which is the second part of the Latin saying "If you want peace, prepare for war"?

I have to say that we'd need to think in answering three main questions:

Is war necessary or useful?
In a global sense -not only from the perspective of the winners-, does the damage war produces justify the benefits obtained?
Are there any alternatives to war?
