Is anything truly real? I don't mean like the objects you see don't exist, they do, but are they real? Do you believe them? I was listening to this radio talk show host named Glenn Beck, and he asked that question. He said, "Look at television, look at the hosts. Me included, they are not even close to being real. They don't feel your pain, they go on TV and do a 1 hour show. Oh, you're a tough guy! All you do is ask a few questions and go."

Do you think anything is real?

It doesn't really matter if it did or didn't because one cannot alter what is real or not. Might as well enjoy the ride.

Damn, again I forgot the poll. Screw it.
You can still add a poll.

Nothing is real. We're all just figments of Fiddlebottoms' imagination.

Also, folks, Since I believe God is real, but He hasn't been proven, I don't count Him as something you can say is real or not.

My ideas are real. Yours may not be, but mine are.

Fiddlebottoms only lets you believe that. :p

What's your definition of real?

What's your definition of real?

Whatever Fiddlebottoms says it is.

It doesn't matter what mine is, it matters what your's is.

It doesn't matter what mine is, it matters what Fiddlebottoms' is.

Fixed.

Nothing is real. Period.

Three full-stops?

Unorthodox, anyway.

Reality is the crutch for those with inadequate imaginations.

Fiddlebottoms only lets you believe that. :p

Wrong. I let you believe that Fiddlebottoms lets me believe that. Got it now? :D

I honestly have no idea what this means.

Thanks. My brain hurts now. :p

Lunatic Goofballs? :eek:

There's a good quote from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy that explains this.

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

You all think way to deep about the idea of whats real and whats not..
a guy comes on tv and ask whats really real in life?
this aint the matrix ya all life is as real as its gonna get, theres nothin behind door number 1 saying its not... and by the way if you believe in god how can you say you don't know if he excist or not? thats dosnt make any sence...

Life is real and so is everything in it, if you don't think anything is real then yea your alil weird thinkin stuff isn't... yea that person might be on tv for an hour and not know your pain but if you met that person and got to know em well DUH then they would.. i mean serously what dose that have to do with whats real anyways...

but yea thats what i think :upyours:
