Welcome to The Philosophical Discussion topic of The Daily Clicks misc. forum! Here you can discuss amounts of philosophical question, among:
[f]If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is present to hear it, can it be heard anyway[f/]
Yes, if the tree was falling and nobody would hear it because anyone and everyone is absent from the location, should the waves wich is flying in the air be classified as sounds which can be heard even if noone can hear it? Or is it just some kind of expanding air which vibrate in our ears and is classified as... noise?
[f]A glass filled with milk stays on the table. You drnk up 50% of the content. Is the glass now half full or half empty?[f/]
What is more important: The absence or the presence? Do you count how many leaves that have fallen or how many which stays at the tree (even if the tree already have fallen (: )
[f]What is the meaning of life?[f/]
Here is an intresting question. Why are we here? What are we doing? Don't we have something better to do then be born, educate ourself for a work, work for food, reproduce ourselves and wait for The Grim Reaper to come? If not, why do we do that anyway?
Please post your ideas and opinion. Got any other philosophical subjects? Post them here too. Thank you for your time, and please continue visit joNickArt Entertainment website: http://www.jonickart.tk/ .
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is present to hear it, can it be heard anyway? No. If no-one's there, it can't be heard.

there is no meaning of life. we seek meaning to justify our existence as we believe that, without meaning, we are useless. so "meaning of life" is just a narrow minded human invention, created so we dont seem so small and insignificant. when in fact we are. espescially you non-admin types.
The glass is half-empty because you're measuring from a point when it was full - if you were filling it with milk, it would pass the point of being half-full rather than being half-empty, and the same is true for the reverse.
That's why most people say that a pint milk bottle with half a pint of milk in it is half-empty, and if it has half a pint of water it's half full - you're first measuring from full, then measuring from empty.
If anyone bothered to read that, well done. Also, the meaning of life is to do something worthwhile - don't you watch Red Dwarf?
i think the original question is if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one to
hear it, does it makes a sound?. well, it's the same. yes, it makes a sound, yes it can be heard. only that there is no one around to do it. but it has to make a sound, if not, it would be violating physics laws
wong chung is right, it depends on the action that you were doing when it got interrupted thus leaving the glass at that state. If you were drinking it, you were emptying it, therefore, the glass is half-empty.
and as pete said, life has no meaning. seriously. we just do things. go to school, get married, ans stuff, but I don't see the point. at the end you die. maybe the meaning of life is death
The meaning of life: state of being alive;the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested with metabolism, growth, reproduction, etc.; the animate existence or period of animate existenceof an individual; the period of existance or activity of something inanimate;a living being; living things collectively;a particular aspect of existance; sum of experiences and actions that constitute a person's existance; biography; animation, liveliness; a manner of living
last meaning: a magic ability than can be used to revive a someone. It usually costs 10 mp.

btw, for the record, "42" is not the meaning of life. it is the answer to "the ultimate question".
edit: but apparently there have been different things that will be available in a few years, they just havent been tested enough yet
edit edit: oh, philosophical. nevermind me
