I want to talk about honesty, integrity, character, reliability, honor, pride, and ethics.
Almost all of our members are not using there real names. I realize there are many reasons why this is and none of the answer I will receive are really good answers. But in order for any of us to really trust one another we need let go, stop hiding behind the “username” and reveal ourselves to the world. In other forums that I have been involved with it works very well. Just think of it as carrying on a conversion in a face to face environment. If you are trying to hide something, be disrespectful, lie or have other agendas then you do not need to be here.
Morality isn't based on subjective ideas on "good" and "bad".
It's based on objective principles of Right and Wrong.
To find the Moral is to find the Truth.
Human Nature as well as the nature of the Universe allows us to study not only the dry facts of reality, but also the philosophical implications of existence and the existence of life itself including the conciseness of man.
Thanks for listening,
Darren Swisher

I disagree, Darren Swisher. What difference does it make what you "call" yourself? It is just a sound, and we are not our names, or our bodies, jobs, families, possesions, or any of that. A name is just a subjective title used to identify a subjective, ever changing expression of consciousness; a consciousness which can actually never be pinned down as anything solid.
You say we need to stop hiding behind usernames, well I challenge us to stop hiding behind our "real" names. Who are you?
