Ok I'll exsplane how this game works... it's a complex one that often just leads to endless questions but it can be a lot of fun :) It works a lot like the previous two games this or that and word association, Except your not limited to how many posts or who's post you replay to. just make sure you say who's even quote if you wish to.. and be as long winded as you like.

So i will post my question to this and my own personal answer, you then get to put your point of view up and any questions you think it raises.. Have fun folks!


Q) What is Truth?

My Answer: Truth is a persons point of view based on what they see as facts.


What do you guys think truth is?

Truth is fact... a proven point that can not be denied.

Are we Dreaming when we are awake?

maybe.. there is no possible way to prove what is real and what isnt
 meaning of truth?

truth is one persons grasp at a question even if their is factorial truth or not depending on the perspective view of said truth for it all differs from one person to another.

Are we dreaming? depending if you are awake or not for even day-dreaming is a reality as thus proven but then again do we ever wake from our dream, for reality is only what our eye's allow us to see. Makes you wonder what our eye's hide from us or what we hide from in reality or is reality too scary for us to even look at for we might run away further from it.

Just remember, you can't spell "truth" without "hurt".

Truth is fact


question time.


This is more a question of moral judgement.

Should you break someone's belongings, are you, or are you not, obligated to replace them?

Depends if I have the money to replace it.

I'll give my answer to my own question.

Yes. Beyond a doubt. If someone broke something of yours that had some personal value, you'd expect them to do the right thing and replace it if they could afford it, right?

What if they didn't have the money to replace it?

Then they can wait until they DO have the money to replace it. And that doesn't mean buying a bunch of shit for themselves first when they owe someone a replacement item..that shit pisses me off.

"Oh, so you can afford to go out and buy this shiny new (Insert object here) for 50 bucks but you can't replace a $14 figurine of mine that YOU BROKE?"

This is starting to sound like a personal experience. I think the important thing is not necessarily to replace an item, but whether it's feasible to do just that, or if not, there's another way to make amends. As-is, to assume they absolutely must replace it seems a bit overly materialistic.

And what if they break something, like a family heirloom or something that's irreplaceable?

Who gives a shit if someone breaks something. People have broken plenty of my things without replacing them because they'll just go and blame someone else for the problem. It's the same as "borrowing and never returning". You'll always lose something.

Instead of whining about someone replacing it, i'd just as well replace it myself, or just live without it.

*Tired yawn*

Lets see.. Tanek's post on object/Item Replacement

Right my answerer to that would vary on circumstances so i'll list down a few.. it's not really a test of Philosophy this Tanek more morals? but what the hey..


1: Accidental: An object is accidentally broken, I would say common and VERY basic manors would say you should offer to replace it, if you can afford to do so.

2: Purposeful: If you broke it out of a fit of rage, out of spit, or because your just plain fucked up, then yes money or not you SHOULD replace the object of somebody else's property you broke. after all you wouldn't like it if someone came into your house and fucked everything up.


3: Irreplaceable/Heirlooms/Sentimental: There is no possible way to replace an object such as this but even so again with the basic common manors you should still at least offer to do so or have it repaired.

it all really comes down to, do you have manors or are you an arrogant stuck up snob who fucks up other peoples stuff because you don't have to pay for it?

I myself would like for someone who broke something of mine on reasons 1 and 3 to at lest offer replace it or fix it just out of manors, I'd most likely decline there offer and then live with out it, because I'm not overly materialistic and martial things only serve to hold me back. but at least they would have the manors to offer and that to me is what counts..

Irreplaceable items are obviously exempt. It's irreplaceable,s o what's the point?

And yes, it's a real pain in the ass when someone breaks someone, you know they did it, and they try to pawn the responsibility off on someone else.

I just hate people as a rule of thumb. Going into semantics just mucks up the process.
