Introduce yourself here <-----

Hi, this is Lin Lin from mainland China.
Currently a 11th grader, will go to California for my undergrad studies this September thou.
Haven’t visited here for a while, things changed quite a lot…
Anyways, it has been so inspiring to read most of the posts here, and it is nice to get to know you guys.

Hi Lin Lin and welcome back.

Well you know the old saying: “You cannot step twice into the same river”
And another one I like: “This, too, will pass”
Enjoy

Hi, im enlighten, and im here to give up…arghh! oops! that was yesterday…

Oh yeah, hi guys, im enlighten, im a gap year student who is gonna study philosophy and Essex university next year. I like to talk about interesting things, i enjoy history geography sociology, blazing, and a good novel, as well as getting obscenely drunk on occasion. Please don’t allow me to annoy you. I signed up to philosophy forums so i can talk to clever people and widen my intellect.

jah bless

hey hey, im undercover_prankstar as you can see, and i feel really young for this forum (15). I live in New Zealand and I enjoy my time on ILP talking to people who really care about life’s deep secrets instead of just going on about makeup and hair and nailpolish
nothin wrong with those things in their place but as obsessions…?
I love abstract ideas, anything original and as for my directions- pretty open apart from the fact that I’ll spend at least some of my life playing the piano in concert halls…

Hello everyone. I am Thornwyck, obviously new here. :smiley:
I am not cute, nor cuddly lol. I am disabled with a lovely wife who is disabled as well. Mentally however, I remain sharp as a razor. It is a pleasure to meet you all. (Bows.)
By the way, Welcome Prankster. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. In regards to age: there are wise people and wilfully stupid people of every age, so worry not. :sunglasses:

Hoo hoo! I’m new and not new. I used to hang out daily (not literally) at ILP about 2 years ago. Thought I’d come back and sniff around, see what or who has changed.

For the benefit of those I don’t know: hello, my name is tkingdoll and I am a tee-totaller.

I’m also from Birmingham, UK, but please don’t hate me for it.

Hmm… Hadn’t realized there were so many kids on ILP. :blush: Not that we mind discussing philosophy with kids, in fact we used to teach an ESL class here in Nagasai, Japan using A Young Person’s Guide to Philosophy “I Think Therefore I Am” by Jeremy Weate - Macmillan Languagehouse as our textbook; :smiley: however, it does seem to us that although we’re championing more open relations between adults and kids as a means of protecting them from potentially exploitative game site policy, our previous two posts in the Philosophy and Essay threads were more suitable for comment by adult philosophers :sunglasses:
Sadly, none have chosen to reply, leaving us rather at a loss as to what, if anything, we should post here next? :unamused:

O don’t worry about that. I am not an “old” member, but it is not bad if people don’t notice something you’ve written. Maybe all of them simply find your posts so interesting that they thought it’d be useless to add any commentary.

What is an “adult” philosopher
I consider myself to be a philosopher (some of you here may disagree), a rather radical philosopher. But sometimes I don’t think I am more intelligent than a child.

And compared to 99% of Internet pages, ILP is a most!

Welcome, ESSHOC, to you and to all the other new members!

haha! Well, I am new, love philosophy, just graduated highschool in Houston, TX and am usually called VERY cute. I have a strong belief in education–I am beginning my college education at Carelton in Minnesota next year with plans of eventually becoming a college professor. I like to talk philosophy, politics, current events, literature and science (though it is not my strong suit). My other interests include basketball,and music (singing and drums), which i participated in in highschool.

Nice to meet everybody.

Color Me Attracted to the diverse content, and personalities, at ILP.

My name is Katharena.

My name isn’t Bessy, but I play one on ILP. :sunglasses: Welcome to you… :smiley:

AVICENNA A.D., student, degree of philosophy in hand tomorrow! Tantalized by philosophy, politics, religion, sports (I’ll dunk on you and quote Nietzche in German), Physics of space, time, spacetime, stupid people, smart people, nothing in between.

greetings… new here, introduced to the site by my buddy avicenna. what up yo? you didn’t think i’d forget, did you? i’m kind of addicted :confused:

my interests: fashion, shopping, boys, and myself!

…just kidding…

peace out

PS: AD–nietzche in german eh? how about i quote you avicenna himself in arabic :wink:
…congrats on your graduation!!

Well, you just sound like an all-around badass!

Hello, all. I’m obviously new. I just graduated highschool about a month ago. Planning on majoring in philosophy in college and eventually teaching the subject.

I may start posting a lot, but chances are I’ll be a resident lurker.

[edit: You all are by far the most interesting, amusing, and intimidating group I have ever seen. o.o;]

hi im a new guy and a young one i think im the youngest if there is younger then 14 pm me
id be surprised if there is!

hello from igor, thorry i havent introduced mythelf before i wathnt thure if ilp was the place for me. but after a few dayth of reading (or lurking ath itth called) i thought id stick around. anyone who readth Terry Pratchet will know why i write like thith…

but i can also write normally if im being serious. i came to ilovephilosophy.com by accident - it was the homepage on the second-hand computer i just bought. i chose igor because ironically or perhaps un-ironically i work as a professional mourner attached to a number of undertakers here in Milton Keynes. im not very well ecucated but have a somber disposition and plenty of time to think (for some reason less people seem to die during the summer months - must be the sunshine) i hope people will find my comments interesting.

thankyou for reading and ill thee you all later…

professional mourner

Could you tell us about that?

wow…professional mourner? pardon my ignorance, but i never knew you guys existed. what exactly does the job entail?

lol…so i wasn’t the only one who found that intriguing
by the way, welcome :smiley:
