I am a clerk at my church, and sometimes I have to ask people for their information, sometimes personal information. Of course I don't mean their social security number and bank account number, I'm talking about information like middle names, date of birth (including the year), marital status, etc. The problem here is that it can seem a bit invasive, and I have always been uncomfortable asking people for personal information, as personally I like to keep myself a mystery to everyone else. I have often wondered why everyone wants to know your business. Most companies/organizations don't need most if any of the information that they ask for, so why take it?

Wow

Confusious!?

Why do people never say what they mean. For some unknown reason people always say one thing to mean another. Apparently this is called "indefinite thinking." However this happens also to be one many meanings of this word. Thus science was developed, in essence, to stop Philosophers from Philosophizing. As we all know philosophy has no definite meaning. One uses deductive reasoning to draw out an "underlying meaning" but that also depends on the person. Each philosopher has a different meaning for a particular thing. The problem is that people are still using "indefinite thinking." We all use phrases like, "what I'm really trying to say is," or "what I mean is..." For odd reason people have a hard time skipping the bush and hitting the snake. Why do people find it so hard to say exactly what they mean?
