Is anyone except for me a nihilist? Not in the insane way, but more in the philisophical way. Nothing's real. Someone hits you, you feel it, right? How does the attacker know you felt it? You hit the attacker, he feels it, but how do you know he felt it? You don't know if he felt it, and he don't know if you felt it. Now, let's kick this up a notch. How do you know anything's real? You don't. You can touch it, yes, but does that make it real? You can 'feel' in dreams, can't you? Who's saying that this whole world we live in, every fabric of our existence, is simply a lie, a fairy tale? Does anyone have any comments on this?

Nice point, man. But, I don't believe you. Hmm... Wow. Nihilism is a psychopathic disorder... Uh-Oh...

George Carlin... now there is a funny man

How about this then:
"You know... we need oxygen to breath"

Whatever happened to original titles?

They went the way of the dodo, Elvis, Tupac, Biggie, and Jimmy Hoffa... They are all on a secret, carribean island, funded by the mole men, who live in the core of the earth. Duh! Read your news!

The fact that we have a perception shows that something exists.

Nah, thats solipsism innit?
Nihilism is all about pointing out that the values system we have is fucked, that we created it.
Its fairly boring and crap really.
It always seems to come down to destroying everything and letting survival of the fittest take over completely.

Human perception is fucked anyway dark. I mean, our laws state you cant create or destroy matter, but our existance is based on an origin of matter creating itself. Either that or we dont exist.

... Solopism is the sense where ' I'm real, but nothing else is. Just me. ' Heh. Man. I love solipism and nihilism.

... Nihilism, on the other hand, can be a belief that nothing holds value, or worth. But the nihilism this topic is about is ' Nothing's real. Not you, not me. Nothing is. '
