    Oh why hello. I already have posted, since i didn't realise this was here at all...to anxious to start blabbering perhaps...
    anyway, hi.
    I'm a philosophy/English/Art history/Italian student from Sydney. Majoring in philosophy, currently in my first year (but i've...sort of skipped to second year, thus why i will probably be hanging around asking ridiculous questions...). Can't decide whether to major in english or art history as well...and italian's just my fun subject lol.
    Anywho, thanks for having me

    I think that being Christian is sort of an exclusive club ...

    But I believe that being either or both is something which is between you and God. The problem comes when you are tied to a Christian sect or congregation. Most of these preach that "they" are the only way to salvation.

    If either one insists on their exclusivity (which true Buddhists will not because their quest is for the road to enlightenment), run in the other direction. Technically, Buddhism is not a theological philosophy but is much closed to Universalism.

    ~hello~ my name is melissa and i'm in ninth grade. i dislike capital letters.

    i like to read. my favorite writers are james joyce, henry david thoreau, voltaire, virgil, virginia woolf, fyodor dostoevsky, albert camus, kurt vonnegut, john milton, marcel proust, dante alighieri, hermann hesse, a.a. milne, arthur rimbaud, charles baudelaire, jules laforgue, paul verlaine, walt whitman, hart crane, ogden nash, e.e. cummings, william shakespeare, rainer maria rilke, anne sexton, etc. i really really strongly dislike jane austen, ayn rand and robert frost.

    i also really like pierre-joseph proudhon, mikhail bakunin, johann most, emma goldman, alexander berkman, peter kropotkin, voltairine de cleyre, brian morris, noam chomsky, etc. i am a vegan and a pacifist and also really socially awkward. i live in florida though i would really rather not. i am not really that interesting beyond the novelty of my age? but if you want to know anything else about me feel free to ask. i also just realized that i tend to overuse certain words; i hope that doesn't bother anyone too much.
