There is a lack of "Tofuguy" in the forum, please bring some extra supply, I repeat please bring some extra supply of "Tofuguy" to the forum!

Yes I know that animals have a consciousness *(feeling suffering and pain part especially)*. Your reply made me laugh Thanks!

I took a course that lasted ten months and got the qualifications to work in my current job so school is finito indefinite! It took me a while to sort of master cooking, and when I say master I do mean eatable lol. I like baking and grilling. Those are super easy to do and less time consuming. Foods that I like to cook huh? Gosh I never really thought about it, I guess I like baked chicken which is why I bake them so often. Stir friend rice steamed vegetable's and nothing else comes to mind right now. What about you, are you currently studying anything FUN? And what is your favorite past time? Mine is drawing. I LOVE ART!

Your friends are on to something with the "Dr. Phil" bit. I know who he is, and have watched a few of his shows and thinks he's okay. However, I wouldn't go as far as saying that the two of you are exactly alike. I think if you went on his show, somehow Dr. Phil would have a warm time trying to figure out your personality. I'm pretty fluent in English (but I'm bad at it grammar wise) nothing else. French is the second language taught here and I do not know a word of it nor do I plan on learning it. Come to think of it, it's a miracle how I managed to get a passing mark in that class. Here, It's mandatory to get a French credit in order to graduate from high school and somehow (don't ask) I manage to get one. So Phillip, after writing "tofuguy" often, I think I'm going to stick with it. I've grown to like that name and think it suits you. But Phillip is also lovely.

I sound pretty silly when I try to speak Jamaican but I understand it well. The funny thing about my parents is they suit each other well despite being from different and diverse backgrounds. My father is a Caucasian man and also Canadian and he can speak Jamaican better than me, lol. I haven't written anything "nice" about them (parents) for a while so this is sort of nostalgic for me. It brings back a lot of fond memories of them.

So many unfortunate or bad situations has happened between us, and it all resulted in me cutting my ties with them for good-ish. I've been bitter about it for so long to the point where it has contributed to my poor health these days. And I find it hard, very hard to forgive them and move on with my life in a positive way. But I have moved on none the less, and it's not all good I can tell you that. Writing all this reminds me of a topic that I came across earlier today, something about forgiveness, I should reply to it.

Care to tell me a little bit about yourself tofuguy? Starting with your name (a nickname other than tofuguy or your birth given name) because I feel pretty silly writing "tofuguy" all the time, lol. See I just wrote it three times in this paragraph.

Hehe, in all honesty your personality sort of scares me. Please do not take any offense to what I’ve just written; in fact, I would like you to take it as a compliment. You challenge me to own up to my beliefs. And I'm currently struggling with my "beliefs" at the moment. The thing with me is I've had to fight for a majority of my life to prove the people within my surrounding, and who also had a direct influence on me, that I am "sane", and they’re not.

It's a long story, one of which I will share with you when I'm not pressed for time like I am right now. You strike me as a person who brings forth honesty; well, my perception of you is that you hold a very strong belief in what you say. "No bullshitting" and I like it, I don't necessarily agree with it, but I like it. It’s not a flaw at all and I encourage you to continue expressing yourself in a manner you see fit. You make people such as me "think harder"; you challenge us/me to look at things from all angles and for that you have my thanks.

I’m Canadian but my mother’s background is Jamaican so I can only presume that she gave me this name because it has some "deep meaning" to her roots. Or maybe my parents were drunk when they came up this random name, who knows. I’ve grown to like it in any case. I'm what most people call "molato", mixed race.

I don't know if I should shake your hand or squeeze it tightly?? You irritate me beyond belief. But your personality cannot be ignored (at least by me anyway.) I'd like to get to know you tofuguy... I myself don't understand why but I would like to. My name is Izzy, yes it really is Izzy.

*nod* As for the book the reason why I chose the Demon Haunted World was they don't try to reason metaphysical things in empirical standards. If I wanted to recommend a book addressing the metaphysical I would recommend a book by John Locke or David Hume. *shrug* It's not really important but I just wanted to show that I wouldn't be as ill minded to recommend a book that I know you wouldn't like.

P.S.
Personally, I enjoy reading books that I disagree with. I just make sure to have a yellow pad and pen to take note with. Gives me more to think about.

Your avatar suits you in a sense, it's kind of welcoming. Funny how I was intrigued by your replies to many posts. And I wondered how some of those guys managed to stay calm, when replying to you. But if you really take the time out to read and try to fully understand your point of view, then you become less hostile and in the end, they or rather, myself wants nothing more than to get to know you better. Nice to meet you tofuguy? My new friend or nemesis!

Hey, on The Demon Haunted World, the reason why I recommend that is because it discusses metaphysics in relation to science among many other things. Seriously, it's one of those books that I would suggest everyone read.

Some of your posts annoys me and because of that, I feel incline to watch you!

Hi!
I really like most of your posts and I think you're an interesting person. :D
Anyway, I'm gonna watch you..hope it doesn't bother you :)
Take care!
