That’s right! Your words of wisdom could be part of the new Ilovephilosophy.com merchandise which is in the pipelines. What we are looking for is a selection of people’s favourite quotations from the Ilovephilosophy.com forums. They can be about philosophy or about the site or just really random ones which would look funny on merchandise.
When you suggest a quotation/s please include the full text of the quotation, who wrote it and a link to the thread it is found in. Once we’ve got a fair amount of entries the staff will pick the best ones to go on the merchandise!
I have never put a link in a post, I hope I did this correctly. It is the first post in the thread “Women & Reasoning”… a highly contraversial found in the main philosophy forum.
[size=150]here’s a tip, rare philosophical quotes are rarely revealed in dinner theater sites, such as the one that you cited in your last post. yes, sweetie, heraclitus COULD have said that. he also could have said that he liked screwing donkeys. did he?[/size]

I hope I’m not over posting here. But I keep seeing good stuff. Well at least good in my eyes.
[size=150]I am tired of suffering, for my suffering has become so complex, and my time so minut, that I cannot afford to even think of my problems for the thought of them will do nothing but complicate matters further and do more harm than good.[/size]
I may just be stating the obvious, but I had this idea that the quotes on the merchandise should be quotes of the members of ILP. Except that maybe we could add our real names beside our ‘nicknames’. So that way it will be more personal and cherished. Furthermore, I would post some of my favorite quotes from members of ILP, but I already have at the Favorite Quotes thread in the Mundane Babble Forum.
I was joking when I posted that capitalism quote which is why I didn’t bother citing where it came from, it’s in Kurt Weber’s sig and I actually got the quote wrong, it’s “Total free-market capitalism: The ONLY Moral system”.
It’s in the same thread as my quote of “I am very much against cultural imperialism”, however I must say I prefer something I said later on in the thread “MacDonalds are trying to get a world UN Macdonalds Children’s day…[s]o the saviour of children across the world is a highly unprincipled, disgustingly rationalised, American Fast food Giant.”. Not particularly philosophical though.
BTW, I believe they did get the said Children’s day in the end. World gone mad!!
I’d buy that one Thanks must go out to Ben for asking him to leave, the spell has been broken. I think I was beginning to fall under his trance, I’ve found myself whistling quite a lot recently and I was considering a pilgrimage to Germany to see if he’d let me kiss his philosophical shoes.
