Does spending time posting mean you don't have "a life"?

[sunndoggy8]

I've heard this implied in numerous posts the last couple of days...people saying that they don't post b/c they have a life now...so is this implying that those of us who do post don't have a life? Or are these people mistaken in their underlying insult to all of us regular posters?

SUNNY - That's plain silly. Regular posters are engaging in a form of social interaction that may be a bit atypical currently, but grows more accepted with each passing year.

It's not as if the internet is our only activity....is it?

It is not so much we don't have a life, but that our jobs are boring and we find refuge in the board during the day.

ADOLESCENTMASTURBATOR -

The "definitions" you borrowed from the dictionary do not and cannot describe or define what life is because it is assumed that life is objective and is expereinced by all in the same way. They do not address the philisophical CONCEPT.

Look carefully at the definitions and you see most are nonsensical and not definitive at all. Life is defined as being alive. No definition of "alive" is offered. A religious definition is attempted referring to an afterlife, without defining what life itself is. The scientific definition tries hard to describe life (if it can eat shit and fuck it's alive) again, without defining what life is.

Is sentience necessary for life? If not, does it's absence give us the right to kill non-sentient life. How do you define sentience? Is a person in a coma alive? Is he sentient? Can a robot be alive. Is an older person more "alive" than a younger? Is every person subjectively or objectively "alive" in all views of reality.

Cool stuff. Certainly not easy to define.
