toilet paper thoughts here

do you ever think of toilet paper? we use it so much it's a necessity. we love to abuse, scratch, stain, scrub and tarnish it, don't we? we molest rile and rag its lovely white color on a rolling basis every single day...if products had rights, toilet paper rights would by definition of use be absolutely shitty and toxic! perhaps if we could reverse the effects of use by coming up with a new kind of toilet paper that comes in crap color and switches to clean white after use. you know, it goes from maculate to immaculate and from molested black to extra virgin white. imagine swiping your... black with it and the paper comes out white instead. that would be The revolution in toilet paper rights!

Shorter Thoughts

I believe that people who succeed to write their thoughts in 2-3 lines should get higher rankings here. Shorter thoughts are easier to read usually.

What do you think?

Not a bad idea. I like reading very quick and short sentences. That way I can just scroll down and read more without having to click in a thought. Anyway I never click.. too busy for that. Generally I agree but some concepts cannot be included in 1-2 lines

Wasting your time versus wasting your Life

Lying on my death bed, I probably won't be thinking I wasted a lot of time in my life. I will probably be thinking I wasted a lot of my life. If for every time I was advised not to waste time, I could have been told 'don't waste your life' instead, perhaps I wouldn't be making these thoughts right now. Of course, I am not dead yet, I got to finish typing those words first :)

Swimimng pool thoughts

People these days post their thoughts from anywhere thanks to iphones and blackberries. This convenience is liberating because you can't make a date with your thoughts and expect that they stick to it. I know I do a lot of thinking when I swim and like to swim every day if I could. It's rhythmic, quiet and soothing. I think of it as meditating in water and most swimmers I know think the same. On my way to my regular swim yesterday I was thinking that the pool is one of those places where people can't post their thoughts as they come to them. In my view, many good thoughts are wasted because swimmers do a lot of thinking in the water but it's very hard to remember them after.

I could take the blackberry with me and have it by the side of the pool but I am always worried someone might accidentally step on it or drop it in the water. I know it's probably too much to have touch keypad waterproof screens on the side or at the end of each lap only for people to post their thoughts. But if the screens were mainly used to take measurements from lap times to heartbeats similar to what people get in a sport gyms from a running machine, it probably wouldn't be difficult to connect the device to the internet and allow people to post thoughts from within the pool as they take breaks.

Business crime lessons

Do you think it's a good idea to require all white-collar criminals (see Madoff and Jeff Skilling of Enron) to give, as part of their jail sentence lectures at business schools on corporate ethics? I assume that even if these guys haven't regretted their actions by then, seeing how a former high-paid executive who conducted fraud ended his career and how he justifies his actions years later can be a powerful lesson to students of business. Just out of curiosity, why are all white-collar corporate criminals men? Is it because the field is male dominated or is the nature of women to be honest when they run a company?

the real value of a thought

I'm browsing this site where people express their thoughts. I have a question. How can we evaluate a thought? What makes a thought important? Can you say that one thought is more important than another thought?

Is there such think as a unique and independent thought?

Even when we think of something new, the thinking that goes behind is based either on other people's thoughts or on the interaction with other people's thoughts. If you don't agree, can you give an example of a truly unique and independent thought?
