It seems there has been a lot of threads like -How's everyone doing? -What's up yall? -I'm bored. So I pose this... Is what is good good because the gods commanded it or did the gods command it because it was good? In other words, Are the things that are valuable, valuable because we value them or do we value them because they are valuable?)

this is probably the most thought provoking thread i've read in a while...i'm going to have to go with answer B. things are valuable because we make them valuable.

Bummer, I guess I can't be a purest.

We have a lot of fun though. (These four stacks of $100. dollar bill , I will give out tomarrow to people who least expect it.) What do you think of that?

sincerity is valuable and it's free to the insincere, it can be taxing
