Dear All, Could someone get back to me, just to let me know that you're still around and active? I don't want to scare off any of you with my points of view!...
Hi Lee, I apologize for not posting anything for awhile. (I was away for a bit there.) Your ideas sound good, and I think it is a good idea for Stoics who ...
Hello Pheobe, I was interested by your analogy explaining the "greatest good", comparing the need of the Food Bank to that of your mother. I certainly would...

Hello Pheobe, I like your example with the cannibalism dilemma - an often used but very useful demonstration of how we decide upon the "greater good". I'm sure...
Hi Lee, Thank you for your comments on the "cannibalism" dilemma. I think that if a group of Stoics were in a dire situation like that, it's likely they would...
OK, there are forty-odd members out there, not just two of us (right, Pheobe?). Where are you all? Do I need to say something provocative just to get your...
I think we might have more success getting some discussion going a little later, maybe in September when people are more likely to have returned from their...
Well, last time I replied to something I was threatened with eviction from the group because I hadn't sent an email back explaining why I was into Stoicism....
Hi, Bruce. I apologise if the recent stuff has been a bit abstract - it seems me and pheobe got a bit sidelined. I would normally be the first person to...
I've been lurking for a while. Time to join in. Hmm... I never received such a notice. Anyway, I used to be a wage slave before being laid off. I'd gladly go...
Hi, Michael. You make some good comments about money - it isn't good or bad, it's an instrument. Quite true: it's a means to an end - but when people think...
God, haven't things gone dead? Well, it's partly my own fault, as I haven't contributed at all for a while. I've been otherwise distracted, so have neglected...
Sure, I do. What to do? Michael ... From: "hughesyman2004" <hughesyman2004@...> To: <stoic_commons@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2004...
God, haven't things gone dead again? Oh,well... I guess the idea behind this forum is to discuss practical problems that occur in daily life, right? Therefore,...
Practical problems, eh? OK, I'll bite. It is Halloween, after all. <g> How about having to learn a different skill to get a job? I'm a programmer that was laid...
~~~Are you a Pantheist??? What is a Pantheist??? Pantheism is the belief... that, "God and the Universe are one in the same." There are good reasons to believe...
Hi: I've just joined this group and look forward to discussing modern day applications of stoic thinking and acting. My biggest dilemma with stoicism, is in...
Hi Cam, Sorry I took so long to reply. ... I know, this is one of the biggest problems I have as well -- being able to tell which things I can control and...
Hi Phoebe: Thanks for the response. I liked what you had to say. Some good insights for sure. I hope the list picks up! It seems like a good group, and I hope...
A friend of mine were discussing the lack of any web-forum for Stoics. Everywhere we looked, the only discussion groups we could find were Yahoo groups. To...
Hey I just wanted to tell you about a great company I found! I applyed for a lower mortgage rate and i only had to fill in a simple form. This month alone I...
Hi Tyger, I'd forgotten I was even a member of this group. I wouldn't mind getting into it, as long as it doesn't get too academic. I'm really only interested...
