Roman's yet another BS thread: What is the meaning or purpose of/for life?

[Times Roman]

Now that we have enough arm chair philosophers all warmed up, our next topic.

I'm curious to hear what you feel to be life's purpose?

.......or even deeper, what you feel the meaning of life is?

So go ahead, take a big chug off that wine bottle, and let's hear what you have to say.

[marcus300]

HAHAHA do you not remember this before *What's life about*

[marcus300]

Great debate ^^^^^ and it showed some interesting facts

[Times Roman]

ha!

of course I remember....

....I was just testing to see if you did =)

[marcus300]

I knew you was playing with me

[Times Roman]

that's right!

..........I never forget shit!

[Times Roman]

(well, maybe once in a while..........)

[Sergio727]

So does this mean you dont want the answers anymore? Lol

[marcus300]

(well, maybe once in a while..........)

That thread created many debates if you remember lol

[Khazima]

To lift

[Iceberg]

Raise my kids so they are smarter than me. They are 12 and 13 and I succeeded. So now I just work my ass off to pay off the house. And work out, and bang the old lady and well you get it .....

[lovbyts]

To make more money or at least make it faster than the wife can spend it.

[uhit]

For me? To explore the world and see what it's all about.

[Times Roman]

So the meaning of life is to "explore the world and see what it's about"?

[uhit]

So the meaning of life is to "explore the world and see what it's about"?

Yep. See it from my eyes and not what the media conveys it as. See the different cultures/lifestyles and then self evaluate.

Perhaps its more of a spiritual en devour

[Times Roman]

Well, a geneticist would tell you the purpose of life is to protect your DNA and to pass it along as much as you can, thereby ensuring the code's survival.....

............and who can argue with a geneticist?

[Times Roman]

A drunkard would tell you that the purpose of life is to make sure that when you come to it's end, you don't have any unused liver left.............

[Times Roman]

So if David Letterman were to construct a "Top Ten" meanings for life, what do you suppose that list would look like?

[Shol'va]

Number 10.

To figure a way out of paying taxes.....

[Times Roman]

Number 10.

To figure a way out of paying taxes.....

huh? don't make any money. that's pretty easy. sure you want that as your number 10?


what about this?

oh, hell......
.........I got nothing

[Shol'va]

No the statement was to figure a way out of paying taxes on the money you make and save. You know kind of like all the American and foreign businesses do every year, causing us the American taxpayers to have to cover. Ahhhwell too serious an answer this early anyhow.

[Deal Me In]

Well, I answered this in the other thread but to advance the species. To make the world a better place for everyone in it. To ensure the survival of our species. (by this I mean save the planet)

[RaginCajun]

that's right! ..........I always forget shit, I'm old dammit

Fixed

[Hoggage_54]

[Times Roman]

I wish I were as cool as Roman

just tweaked your repairs to make it a little more accurate...........

[Deal Me In]

After thinking about this for awhile I've decided it's age dependent. I gave my answer as a 41 year old earlier in the thread. My 21 year old self would have said getting ***** and winning the next game.

[CanisLupus]

Well, a geneticist would tell you the purpose of life is to protect your DNA and to pass it along as much as you can, thereby ensuring the code's survival.....

Isn't it strange that most of the accepted social behavior of modern civilization seems to contradict this one behavior? Monogamy might help protect your offspring, but it's much more efficient and more conducive to diversity to impregnate as many women as possible. I honestly never stop dwelling on this one thing. I love my family, but how many more kids could I hypothetically have before I'm too old to do so? I just hate to put all my DNA in one genetic basket, ya know?

I think some women would argue FOR monag.... manago... fvck, staying with the same woman to protect the child from predator other males.

Bears do it. male bear will kill female bears cubs if not his, so that she will protect HIS dna

It really isn't just confined to this - females also play the genetic sweepstakes and mate with other males on the sly even in monogamous pair-bonding animal species (and primates/humans), and there are a significant amount of young born in this way. Scientists have analysed the DNA of baby birds from pair-bonded parents, and in some species 65% of the young were fathered by another male and this is common. Total sexual monogamy is extremely rare in nature, but for some reason the myth that women want monogamy and men want polygamy continues anyway.

Marcus, you sure did manage to see the upside of that comment!

[Times Roman]

damn. I let that line get by me....

.......well, I'm glad someone is paying attention! =)

[Honkey_Kong]

So if David Letterman were to construct a "Top Ten" meanings for life, what do you suppose that list would look like?

#2 Get big.
#1 Beat up wimps.

and the other thought is, so you impregnate dozens of women. so what?

.,,,,,,,,,,,who's going to protect and raise those children until old enough to fend for themselves and protect the code? apparently not you, right? you're just in it to simply pollenate the fields. and these women aren't going to go it alone. some man needs to be around long enough to protect those children. else they will not make it to an old enough age. And if not you, who? you think you are unique in your desire to only pollinate the fields? if that is all a man is willing to do, then the women will be forced to keep men away while they raise their young. why? she can't be pregnant and giving birth AND protecting her existing children. She is very vulnerable in this state (pregnant). So she will remain celibate until her young are old enough to fend for themselves, and then she will once again accept pollination. So that puts you in the position of having to do something about it if you still want to pollinate her fields. what are you going to do? kill her children so she no longer has to protect them?

............uh? hadn't thought of that one?

[bartman314]

combining the athiest angle with this subject - there is no objective meaning of life.

subjectively, i have a lot invested in it however.

[Hoggage_54]

Money and women.

well, one meaning of life is to protect our DNA..........
.....but we said that before
