Names Fred, Fred Flintstone. Or Hennrich, whichever you prefer. I'm a Junior here at NMSU and rushing head first into Philosophy. Life is boring, school sucks, I'm an average student who whines while reading more books in his time off then during a school semester. That's me. I'm working at a hotel now which lets me read while I work. Damn books own my soul. Oh and I'm engaged to Sara. Woohoo!!!
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then
beat you with experience.
Dan Rather on New Mexico: "It's not the end of the world, it's more like the edge of the end of the world."
I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times.
Is it just me, or are cigarettes just not the same when it's light outside?
If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky? ~Stanislaw J. Lec
In the part of this universe that we know there is great injustice, and often the good suffer, and often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which of those is the more annoying. -Bertrand Russell
The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. -Bertrand Russell
There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed. -Bertrand Russell
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.-Stephen Henry Roberts
"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time."
- Bertrand Russell
"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the same sense and extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." -HL Mencken
"You know, we could all be reading a book right now." -Huey Freeman
