Why would it be easy, quick and thoughtless to say everyone is wrong and nothing exists?

No, tangible means able to be touched, you cannot touch a though or ideal.

And b/c thats the easiest cop-out of all. "so what are your views on politics, sex, and religion?" "thoughts? I have no thoughts. Thoughts dont exist silly, nothing does. EVERYONE knows that

"

No? How can you just write someone off as wrong. Tangible is used that way in the English language.

Well considering that's not my beliefs. I can touch a book, read it and think about it but when I die nothing happens. Nothing. Nothing goes on because it never was.

Forget being nice. I didn't say anything to you but apparantly I'm really dumb everyone for having an idea that doesn't fit lineraly [not literally, figuratively, didn't know I had to be specific] with oojays. Go beat your bible.

So you think nothing is definite. Thats a fair belief for some I suppose. Wish you could have just put it that way 8 pages ago, but nevertheless, if thats how you believe, then good for you. I personally believe that there are definites in life.

Are you illiterate are belligerent?

There are definites. Nihilsim is a definite idea. And there is definitely nothing.

There it is. I was wondering how long it would take for someone who couldnt support their rediculous beliefs to resort to Christian bashing. Good for you

But Ive gotta cut you a little slack, it probably is hard to support any idea if it doesnt even exist

But the core of nihilism is believeing in nothing and therefore there CAN BE NO DEFINITES

You are not a nihilist. You saw it on CNN and thought it would make you cool. Go to bed.

Nihilism rejects the idea that life has some sort of inherent "meaning" or "purpose," and the idea that anything can be known for certain.

Those are the core tenents of nihilism. No more, no less. Believing in nothing is in and of itself paradoxical, and any slightly intelligent person could see that.

I think killing is wrong because you might kill the next Einstein. So, someone who was meant to do something great, or is of importance in other people's lives.

If it's a dumb and alone f*cker, feel free to shoot him.
