About not getting her number? :/

The ancient Greeks had 17 different words for "Love". Each has a slightly different literal translation for the "type" of love they express.

I don't think they'd make up 17 words for something that doesn't exist.

i'm sure the "gods" exist too. while we are at it whenever you get ideas it's really a god inspiring you.

wreckreation · #29

not to mention most of those types of love were purely sexual depravity like love between a man and a boy.

I think this is best explained with this quote:

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two." - Captain Corelli's Mandolin

So that means when you are really in love with someone you realise you can't be without them. Like Mr Mock & Doopa. I've never met them but they seem a very good match.

That's it? That's your fucking reason for why "love" doesn't exist? You've obviously done your research on the Greek language.

First, to your remark about the Gods and what not, lets forget for a moment that the entire point of language and a word such as "Love" is to attempt to somehow communicate an idea or emotion from the mind of the communicator to the recipient, therefore by nature imperfect, and attack exactly what I said.

Yes. I was saying that anything the Greeks used a word for must have literally existed. I was not in any way indicating the idea that the Greek language supporting 17 different words to translate to the same meaning would somehow support the idea that the concept of love as an emotion, ideal, or concept is in someway valid.

Man. You burned me. You are fucking brilliant. What was I thinking? That just because an entire race of human beings somehow thought that their ideals/emotions/concepts were valid enough to construct a living language used to communicate and express ideas, somehow that's indicative of human nature? Just because nearly all languages in the world have some sort of equivalent of expressing the emotion/concept/ideal of love in some lingual format that it might be a valid concept in nature?

Man, you schooled me!

Plus, your remark concerning how much the Greek culture indulges in homoerotic pedophilia was just SPOT ON! Because we ALL know that all 17 words in the ancient Greek language used to express the concept of love were sexual in nature!! DESPITE what certain "Historians" and "Anthropologists" would have us believe, YOU cleared it all up for the rest of us!!

Obviously, because Greek Gods do not exist, love cannot exist. The concept/idea that people have been attempting to communicate via written and oral linguistics is a SHAM. A FRAUD.

You've helped me to see clearly now. You have achieved your life potential. You should go help others now, at other boards. We will all miss you here.

and wreck gets under one more person's skin...

how many is that now, young man?

James · #37

I love how one sentence from wreck sends his dellusional dolt into a billion-paragraph rant. Wreck has powers.

Protoclown · #38

Actually I thought it was pretty funny.

The whole "there's no such thing as love

" argument comes across as nothing more than teenage angsty bitterness.

James · #39

Well, let me put it like this.

People believe in religion. But all this faith brings is pain and bullshit. If there was a God, why would all this be going on in his name? Why would he let this happen? Why would he not show up to renew the faith? Hence, there is no such thing as God(s).

Same thinking works for love. Faith in love brings nothing but pain and bullshit. If love existed, why would all this occur in its name?

because people are stupid.

I'm really sure you heard of judgement day. Let me ask you a question, are you sure where you're going to go when you die? It's your choice to make a huge ass gamble to not have faith.

CaptainBubba · #42

If it is a huge ass gamble to assume an entity intelligent and powerful enough to create exsitence itself isn't ignorant enough to damn someone to "enternal punishment"...well I guess I might as well kill myself.

Because that means the chance of this duct tape protecting me from chemical weapons is frighteningly low.

James · #43

Yes, I heard about judgement day. I also heard it was supposed to have about 3 years ago.

GnrySgtHartman · #44

HAHAHA AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE TOO LOLOLOLOLO!!!!!11111

- Because love hurts.

Protoclown · #46

If love didn't have the POWER to cause great pain, it wouldn't have any power at ALL. Because it means so much it also has the power to hurt us a great deal. Without that, it would be meaningless, and worthless.
