Two questions about poetry.com ?

answers1: I have entered several poems on poetry.com and can vouch for
its safety. However, they will attempt to convince you to buy a
variety of different expensive items, from a book including your poem
to membership in a poets society. They attempt to play on your ego in
order to make money.
answers2: iam not sure about the stealing part but they send tons of
junk mail and things like books,or plagues with your poem on it they
want you to buy....
answers3: It is safe to enter your poetry on poetry.com. When you
register you have to provide them your personal information & for sure
you will get lots of junk mail. You either have to let some one give
feedback or you have to publish some where else. Your poetry is copy
righted so no one can steal.
answers4: challenging aspect. check out over the search engines. just
that could actually help!
answers5: hard point. look into with google or bing. just that might help!
answers6: I was wondering about your second question too.. <br>
You'd have to be pretty sad to steal someone's poem, someone's
personal feelings and emotions.. <br>
As for the rest, sorry I don't know.. <br>
Actually, I've not really answered anything here, sorry :P <br>
x
answers7: There is some awful rubbish on Poetry.com, but they would
not accept some of mine, which is infuriating. However if you don't
mind junk emails why not. <br>
<br>
You could always write poems for third grade kids homework like I
sometimes do. Perhaps you could try and help them, I just like to
take the rise, check some of my Answers! <br>
<br>
Why not put your poems on here and ask people to critique them, they
might be cruel but at least they can't throw shoes at you.

Is rapping any different than poetry?

answers1: yeah there is a big diffrence. No beat, much diffren
rhyming patterns(it doesnt need to rhyme where rap does). Poetry is
much more complexed. But rappers like Canibus are on the same level
as poets. Poems are extremely deep, and so is rap. <br>
<br>
Just Remeber Rap is "Poetry of the streets"
answers2: there is really no difference between poetry and any kind of
music besides the beat and rap is sung most of the time. they can both
be about anything and they are both read in a rhythm.
answers3: Poetry usually takes talent.
answers4: What do you mean by "accent"? Rap originated from so many
different music genres and lifestyles that is impossible to accurately
list them all. It's kind of like asking were did Rock come from, or
Jazz, or Classical.....I think you understand where I'm going.
SIDEBAR: I think Rap INCORPORATES poetry, but i don't think Rap IS
poetry.
answers5: rap is basically just poetry with a beat to it
answers6: Poetry is rather delightful and rap is a way to express
anger and emotions. Poetry is written in rhymes while some rap songs
don't have any rhyming in it at all. Usually those songs suck, but
it's done by people on the radio today with no talent. Rap songs also
have a beat to it, which poetry doesn't.
answers7: Technically, they're similar. Rapping seems like just
rhymically reading poetry with a background beat. You could share
advice.
answers8: they're the same, rapping is just a way of expressing the poetry
answers9: rap has a beat in the background and is sometimes full of
more crude words, but other than that, they are pretty much the same.
Full of emotion. Rhyming. And telling a story.
answers10: the art of rapping and the art of poetry are the same but
different styles you have poetry styles like haiku i think it is
spelled right and you have rap which is poetry in motion you
definitely can work together that depends on creativity and being open
minded to the different artistic styles some poetry don't rhyme at all
so it can be a beautiful thing i say do it!

Is personal poetry bad in your opinion?

answers1: ???!!! of course it´s not bad!! <br>
I find the personal poems much better , than let´s say some rich girl
writing about poverty in africa. <br>
imagine paris hilton writing about some kind of topic like that?? <br>
You know nothing better than yourself, so writing about yurself is
probably one of the easiest things to do. but also one of the hardest
<br>
<br>
<br>
or what do you mean exactly? I dont think personal poetry is bad at
all. you have to be able to express yourself. let emotions out , u
know? you can only do that with your feelings. and for some people ,
words are the only way they can truely express themselves
answers2: It depends on how it is written. You can write a poem about
something in your life and make it not sound like it's about your
life.
answers3: It depends on how personal it is. A person's poetry
shouldn't be too personal.
answers4: It all depends. A great deal of the time personal poetry
does seem pretentious or egotistic, espeically if the author thinks
they're "something else." But at the same time, not all poetry can be
objective, some must be subjective. Every time we write, a little bit
of our soul goes into the making of our poetry. So, basically, all
poems are personal poems, just in a different light. I cannot agree on
one side or the other, because some personal poems drive me insane and
make me want to scream, and others make me want to stop writing
because of the beautiful talent laced within. I'm straddling the
fence, as it were. <br>
<br>
Pugilist - Loving the word "insipid"
answers5: You have to decide--subjectively--if your poem is a poem or
a bowel movement. Bowel movements are great, needed, satisfying, etc,
but nobody wants to look at them. Poems are flowers, rainbows and
starry skies; dances with death, paintings of hearts. Poems are to be
shared, bowel movements flushed away.
answers6: I cede this one to Pugilist. There is only one criterion for
any art. Is it good or not?
answers7: Personal poetry is not, in itself, bad, but personal poetry
trends badly. <br>
<br>
This is because people get so stuck on how it feels to them it is more
therapy than poetry, which is fine until they present it as poetry and
then get upset when it is held to the same standards. <br>
<br>
Look at the art of Fredia. It's intensely personal but is still great
art. You can present personal pain, strife, happiness, etc and still
adhere to good poetical forms. You just have to be willing to
actually work at it, which is a step most personal poetry refuses to
consider. <br>
<br>
And that's what makes it insipid and horrid.

What can a person learn from Buddhist Philosophy?

answers1: Good morning, Abbot <br>
<br>
A person learns a few things from Buddhism whether one views it as a
religion or philosophy: inner peace, acceptance of others without
being judgmental, and the equanimity and interdependence of all
beings. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps. <br>
<br>
May all be at peace

Is philosophy really anything more than mental masturbation?

answers1: are you by extension masturbating by asking this question?
answers2: I think that is too sweeping. It can become that, but only
if the philosopher forgets humility.
answers3: There is a lot to be achieved by reading the masters of the
art the ancient Greeks , It makes you realise that they were wiser and
cleverer than us , and considering it was 3500 years ago , Makes you
wonder if we have gone forward or backwards , Others who have never
read or digested philosophy arbitrarily scorn it, Which shows their
ignorance and their loss , Quote A wise man listens before he scorns ,
a fool scorns before he listens, Sophocles 496 BC
answers4: It has opened my mind to the world. <br>
<br>
Before, I was sooooo sure that I was right. <br>
<br>
Now I am not so sure. <br>
<br>
I've never been more awake since I began my study of philosophy. <br>
<br>
"Believing is happiness-Doubting is wisdom." -Greek Probverb
answers5: Philosophy is a point of view. It is only meant to help
others trick their minds in denying facts or in expressing how they
feel. <br>
The only benefits it has given me is to express my feelings in a way
that others can relate to. It has helped me help others feel better
about life.
answers6: A study of the philosophy of science makes it easier to spot
con men and flannel.
answers7: as an example - do you think buddhists ( who base their
lives on a philosophy) are good people or mental wankaz? <br>
- i like the way they are. <br>
<br>
i personally have a moral metaphysics which engenders quality action
on my part and i was saved from insanity by an ontological search.
philosophy made me a functioning member of my society <br>
<br>
your flawed method of asking has brought the expected answers
clamouring for your 10 points by being a mirror to your ideas. You
make me think you should be more mindful perhaps some philosophy will
help!
answers8: No it is nothing more then mental masturbation. <br>
Are you enjoying yourself?
answers9: Mathematics, logic, and science are born out of and linked
heavily with philosophy. So if nothing 'tangible' has come out of it
for you, I think maybe you just missed an episode. <br>
<br>
Unless you are referring to metaphysical, or what is sometimes
vulgarly (in the sense of 'common', the latin sense) referred to as
"existential problems", then yes, it is just mental masturbation. <br>
<br>
But when you say mental masturbation, do you even have a definition
for this term? Or are you just trying to sound edgy?
answers10: Philosophy could be a fruitless mental exercise, if that is
what you mean by masturbation. Philosophy could be a system of
beliefs. If a person followed such a system for the purpose of
impressing others, that might qualify as fruitless. Of course, if the
person succeeded in impressing the target of their efforts, I guess it
could not be called fruitless. If a person is practicing philosophy
in solitude, secretly, that could be like masturbation. <br>
<br>
Philosophy could be a personal way of looking at things, or a rational
framework for investigating questions of existence. My personal way
of looking at things has permitted me to be calm when others panic,
positive when they are negative, and gentle in the face of my own
anger.

Why is logic considered a branch of philosophy?

answers1: Why is logic considered a branch of philosophy? <br>
<br>
~~~ Philosophy is 'original critical thought'; <br>

All 'means of knowing' are branches of the tree of philosophy! <br>
'Logic' is a branch, one way of knowing. <br>
<br>
All sciences are feeder branches of the tree of philosophy! <br>
<br>
Read the links for a clue of what philosophy actually is!
answers2: It is not a "branch". It is a subset of epistemology.
Without logic, there could be no thoughts, but thoughts themselves are
composed of metaphysical judgments based on epistemological
operations. <br>

answers3: I think logic makes science possible; to be able to look at
something objectively as possible...and unassuming as can be...is what
allows science to work IMHO. It's the means to apply science in an
intelligent way. But it's still a philosophy in my book; a way to look
at things as well as a way to apply ourselves.....it just happens to
work, in verifiable ways.
answers4: I think we need our definitions straight here. <br>
<br>
Philosophy is to discover truth. Science is a methodology in which
truths can be found, not the only one. Science deals with mainly
empiricism while there are other methods such as rationalism. Logic is
a tool used by these methods. Rene Descartes used rationalism to
discover the truth that I exist, while Robert Boyle used the
scientific method to discover the truth that gas expands when heated,
both needed logic to achieve this. Logic is therefore considered a
branch of philosophy because without logic truth cannot be understood,
let alone discovered. Other branches of philosophy such as ethics,
aesthetics, metaphysics, etc., are categories of truths.
answers5: logic is a major accomplishment in the history of the human
mind. without logic one is still mired in magic and BS. The goal of
philosophy is reality - it's to understand "how it all works" - and
one uses logic to get there.
answers6: Philosophy is thinking about thinking. <br>
<br>
And logic (I took Logic 101 in college) is how we know if something is
true or not, and that's considered a thought process. <br>
<br>
Our whole world of socializing (vocal and written) is based on If A =
B, and B = C, then A must = C also. <br>
<br>
You will find that many people don't apply that rule to their own
thinking process, and so we get a lot of cultural oddities that seem
to defy logic, but in the end... <br>
<br>
The universe runs on logical principles. A massive body should cause
space to curve and so should cause gravity. An orbiting planet should
form an elliptical orbit, and sure enough it does.
answers7: Philosophy means love of wisdom and logic is the first steps
on the path to wisdom. <br>
<br>
Philosophy also means Love and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual
means and moral self-discipline. <br>
2. Investigation of the nature, causes, or principles of reality,
knowledge, or values, based on logical reasoning rather than empirical
methods. <br>
3. A system of thought based on or involving such inquiry: the
philosophy of Hume. <br>
4. The critical analysis of fundamental assumptions or beliefs. <br>
5. The disciplines presented in university curriculum's of science and
the liberal arts, except medicine, law, and theology. <br>
6. The discipline comprising logic, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics,
and epistemology. <br>
7. A set of ideas or beliefs relating to a particular field or
activity; an underlying theory: an original philosophy of advertising.
<br>
8. A system of values by which one lives: <br>
9. Challenge your preconceptions.

What branch of philosophy is phenomenology from?

answers1: Phenomenology is a philosophical method that begins in the
philosophy of Edmund Husserl. Husserl started off as a logician and
philosopher of mathematics. In its mature form, however, Husserl's
philosophy is mainly concerned with epistemology (theory of
knowledge). The goal of the phenomenology is to offer a pure
description of the forms of human experience, without presupposing any
metaphysical or scientific theory. <br>
<br>
While Husserl's phenomenology concerns itself mainly with knowledge,
post-Husserlian phenomenologists criticize their teacher for focusing
too exclusively on knowledge, and for neglecting other features of
human experience. Hence there occurred an "existentialist" turn in
Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty. Existentialist phenomenology
concerns itself mainly with how the subject's relationships with
itself and with the world are not primarily structured by
relationships of "knowing." To show this, such existentialist single
out certain moods (anxiety, despair, etc.) and show how they have an
impact on human existence that cannot be captured in acts of
knowledge. <br>
<br>
There is also what is called a "theological turn" in phenomenology led
by Levinas, Henry, and Marion (and partly Heidegger). Such thinkers
use the phenomenological method to describe ethical (Levinas) and
religious experiences. <br>
<br>
In any case, whenever you see the term "phenomenology", think of
Husserl and the idea of purely describing human experience without
presupposing metaphysical or scientific theories. <br>
<br>
Cheers.
answers2: the respond is metaphysics. Metaphysics includes interior
the fundamental concepts of the organic, i.e. actual international.
Epistemology includes the character and scope of awareness and
thought. Phenomenology can verify with 2 distinctive colleges or
approaches to philosophy. the 1st is that of Hegel, and is likewise
time-honored as "dialectical phenomenology." the 2d is that of
Husserl, and is the extra widespread college of phenomenology. it is
likewise reported as "transcendental phenomenology." Existentialism is
a school or stream which got here to popularity interior the twentieth
century. It includes the questions of human existence, distinctly
freedom. distinctive persons grouped below the existentialist banner
comprise Dostoevsky, Sartre, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger.
answers3: It is a branch of the feel good science.
