This is really not appropriate for the posts.  But until this thread gets blocked I'm willing to protest by pointing out that people just as sure of themselves as you are were saying the end is near since that myth was first put forward.


Amen to that brother!

If this argument is not going to stop than I say forget this conversation ever happened and get on with are lives and Pointless, Phelon and any other suppourters we all have are opinions. Pointlessness don't start with that armmagadon stuff again and end this chat.

Dear pointlessness, I'm glad that you feel that there is some meaning to your life, and it seems to be preparation for the afterlife, belief in a god etc.  Your argument based on the presumption that there is a supernatural entity will fail to resonate with many rational people who do not share your delusion.  I do not mean to belittle your faith, as it clearly provides some sense of purpose to your existence.  However, do not attempt to intellectually humiliate people who do not share your nihilistic attitude and unsubstantiated truisms.  By all means, continue your search for the true meaning of life, as this self actualisation is the elusive goal of us all, but don't try to impress us with your deep insightful psychobabble that is ironically shallow.

Now, back to chess...


 It is people like you who keep me on this earth, I do not want you to be the way you are, or seem. But you are. You are the reason for my being, you think im under a delusion and im talking "psychobabble". That is why I speak as I do, if everyone believed as I do would I be posting here? If everyone knew of truths pertaining to the afterlife I would be extremely pointless due to the fact that everyone knows what I know. I'm only trying to spread a word. By no means am I trying to humiliate people, but that is what indubitably befalls them, due to the fact of their misunderstanding, or lack of understanding of the truths which I am knowing of. At least, that is how it seems to be, these grown men speak like babies in a cradle, their words mean nothing and give no good use to anything but the things that do not matter anyway. I'm wondering what your views on life are, what the point of all things is. Perhaps, you can convince me that I am a fool merely speaking nonsense, but all you seem to want to do is play chess like a man who has nothing better to do with his time. It is fine, if you choose not to, I understand if all you want to do is shut me up simply so you can ponder back to what you probably have been spending your entire life on. So please, instead of trying to dwindle me with your words, use your apparent great knowledge of human beings to teach me your way, the acclaimed right way.

Didn't I say forget it? Didn't I?!!!

Reborn1, why must I forget? You say everyone is entitled to their opinion, please, if this is true - tell me yours.

there is no "right way" you F'ing troll.  Do everyone a favor and leave this peaceful site alone.  You're here trying to talk about the afterlife -- what are you one of those crazy religion recruiters?  People are just normal animals, we don't have a special puprose in life... especially you.  Go make a friend or two so you don't need our attention anymore.

 Who has taught you these lies? You seem awfully angry, there is no need to be angry with me. If anything, according to your beliefs, you would show pity on me correct? Because im an "F'ing troll"? I would really be delighted to read your insight on life.

I already told you my opinoin it's that chess is a very difficult test and to add on when you pass you win when you fail you lose. The only reason I'm saying forget it is becuase there really is no point to this convertsation. Alright.

You keep trying to get people to tell you their views so that you can show how brilliant you are in refuting them.  Problem is, none of your readers seem to think you are brilliant.  We have your word that you know the answers, and other poor souls who are so unfortunate as to not see everything the way you do are misguided.  Your arrogance does does not commend your faith, rather it does dishonor to it.  Your writing reveals you as someone who is theologically and intellectually "all hat and no cattle."   And yes, I am angry that you presume to think you can commandeer this site to preach the simple-minded, pre-modern, superstitious drivel that some fundamentalist bozo taught you.  I come here for chess, not for the pompous and pathetic attempts at evangelizing that I am getting.  Buzz off!

  • So Pointlessness can't refute the points I raised which show chess has a point in life after all. This thread's very foundation that chess is pointless has been proven false. Thus, chess is after all - not pointless. Now, back to chess. Bye, guys.

 The only points you gave about chess are the ones which help those who seek chess like help. You are missing the big question pal.

When you gave the sweeping generalization that chess is pointless, you must mean that everything about it is pointless. Now you've just admitted that chess is indeed helpful in some ways. You just lost your point. (Logic 101)

Attn: pointlessness

 

My insight on life, concerning this forum topic = negative people like you come and stir up genuinely happy people such as myself for no apparent reason.  We are all here to have fun, after all this is a site for recreation.  To me, the meaning of life is simply to reproduce and enjoy the simple things in life along the way. 

 

If you are looking to find a higher meaning of life, leave chess out of it... troll.
