Hopefully this is ends the practice of playing the national anthem at every sporting event -- which should be reserved for international sporting events.

The whole thing started with MLB during WW2 because some players (like Ted Williams) left baseball to fight in the war. These military industrial complex spun wars are never-ending and the point of the anthem has lost it's significance having been propagandized.

I'm extremely patriotic, but at this point it's just pragmatic to stop the national anthem before games if it's gonna be such a divisive issue. Post 9- 11 nationalism was nice while it lasted lol

Yup.

I'm respectful of the country that I live in but not particularly nationalistic. I wish more people were respectful of their own country but there is nothing I can do make people that way. I don't think making people stand for the anthem will do anything to change their respect for their country.

That's one reason I like the US, you can choose a place to live where people are like-minded. If you don't actively make that choice then it is forced on you.

I unfortunately agree with this.

Always thought it was a nice little tradition but after 70 years sombody had to piss in the punch bowl.
 
At one point in my life years ago I no longer cared to live. But I decided that the concept of suicide was illogical. I deliberated over it for months before coming to that conclusion. My personal logic has always been my higher power, it is the ultimate authority in my life, it is my "god" which I worship and obey. The question of the morality of suicide was irrelevant, I just couldn't find the logic in ending my life when my will to live was so nonexistent that I literally had nothing left to fear or avoid in life. I did not care what anyone thought of me, I did not care if I was in physical pain, and I was incapable of feeling emotional pain at that point. Suicide is the act of running away from life, I had nothing to run from because I genuinely did not care what happened to me. So I figured "Well I'll just exist here then, and whatever happens, happens. For all I know I might one day want to live again but suicide would needlessly prevent that from ever possibly happening. Or perhaps maybe one day there will be a purposeful reason to die." I basically had nothing left to lose by living, so I didn't stop living. What would be the point in that

“Killing myself was a matter of such indifference to me that I felt like waiting for a moment when it would make some difference.”

You make it sound like Canada is rather homogenous with their lifestyle. The USA is so big and diverse that there is no such thing as American culture.

Diversity is a culture IMO. I think people confuse and mistakenly interchange culture and race/nationality of origin.
Personally, I'm most comfortable in knowledge based economy centers. These places are full of people from all over the world. If you stuck me in a place with people from the same mountainous central European region that I'm from, I'd probably go bat shit crazy.

Canada is not homogeneous at all. Have you ever been?
 
Need a new show. The Killing was fantastic.

The resolution of my internal logical dilemma was the moment when I realized I was and had always been an existentialist

I think I found myself in that state of not caring to live because I was having an existential crisis. I saw no meaning in life

But existence precedes essence

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life—daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

I know you're smarter than me. No need to shame with your Euro quotes :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
 
These are big words bud, don't make me google shit.
People often ask "What's the meaning of life?", implying that this meaning to life is something out there that you need to search for in order to find. They need to know this meaning in order to internally rationalize their own existence. So they search and search and then when they can't find it they conclude that there must be no meaning to life and they fall into depression

An existentialist answers that the meaning you give to your life is the meaning of life
 
Nothing has meaning that you don't give it. On the scale of infinity, eventually everything is indistinguishable from zero. Thankfully we're hardwired to care about ourselves and the people and things we know. Sadly, sometimes that's not enough. Find who and what you love and do right by them, fam.

"A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how.""
