Reviews For: What is love?

Bllatrx 2005-07-13 ch 1,	abuseIt's nice to finally read something that is about what I have been trying to get across for so long. So sorry that you got a review from No Trust, when I wrote and article about basically the same thing you did called, Article 1: Teenage Generation, he reviewed mine and flamed it about a million times...he's an idiot and obviously has somethig aghainst the way we think. Anyway, very good essay, it makes a lot of sense, I'm glad there is at least one sane person here.

No Trust 2005-07-05 ch 1,	abuseFirst we must understand how the inside of a computer works, but I’ll leave that explanation to someone else because frankly, I have better things to do. Next we must understand that there is a blender. And some guy. And a house. And a satanic Chihuahua. The satanic Chihuahua enters the blender. First he deposits a scoop of vanilla ice cream (this will be important later), and then he jumps on the guy’s face and bites his nose. The guy instinctively stops, drops, and rolls, because that’s what they tell you to do in elementary school in case of a Chihuahua attack. The static electricity created by the guy rolling around on the carpet causes the room temperature to rise, and the satanic Chihuahua runs out of the house as it burns to the ground. Then he takes a nap. Meanwhile, the smoke created by the burning house attracts a hungry dude with wings instead of arms, but since he doesn’t find any food to eat he flies away. The wind generated by the flapping of his wings sets in motion a chain reaction that causes an apocalyptic tornado the size of the state of Texas to devastate Mars, killing absolutely no-one. However, the death of absolutely no-one causes a glitch in the brain of a secret agent pointing a gun at a little old lady (she's under arrest for jaywalking). He shoots her, triggering a revolt by little old ladies across the world, who rise up and destroy all the secret agents and then go back to knitting. Then the satanic Chihuahua wakes up, and goes to Taco Bell for a snack, except him and the Taco Bell Chihuahua get into an argument over who is the Alpha Male. You see, when they were puppies, Taco Bell Chihuahua used to beat up the satanic Chihuahua, which is why he became satanic. So the satanic Chihuahua kills the Taco Bell Chihuahua and eats him, but he’s not satisfied so he eats 1 million Tacos, causing everyone on the planet to die of starvation. Everyone except Bill Gates. Who ate the ice cream.
Darthen 2005-07-04 ch 1,	abuseI am not going to debate you, although everything in my mind is screaming at me to do so. I will not debate you because this is not a debate section, the title says essay section where one posts opinions in an essay format. I am supposed to review your essay writing not your opinion, but I must say one thing first. I disagree immensely. Love is beyond definition so a dictionary deffinition, and therefore an essay based off that deffinition, is faulty. Your first paragragh is good and I can almost make out a thesis statement so you get points there, but throughout the paper you fail to back up your opinions with evidence, which unfortunately, in my humble opinion, would qualify this as more of a rant than an essay. For example, you state that these feelings are merely an illusion created by the mind, but you lack any hard evidence to support these views. You also say that one does not need love in order to live, but you do not back that statement up with any examples of people who lived, at least a healthy life, without love, when it is disturbingly easy to provide evidence to suggest otherwise. I can point to a man who has killed many men and ask him about his childhood. He will tell me some sort of horror story that will make me want to puke due to my disgust at the human capacity for disgusting deeds. Now I will go back to simply differing in opinion ( I know i shouldn't but...) you state "In my opinion it’s better when we use our mind to think about the reason of things by inspiration and great philosophical theories." however such things as these are helped a great deal by love. You say it's better to reason through inspiration, yet you claim that the greatest inspiration of all (love) is an illusion. You don't beleive love is a great inspiration? Just look in the love/romance section of this very site, you will be sick with the number of lovecrap that gets posted here. Now, in your conclusion you state love is a waste of time, but you fail to provide us with reason, or evidence, that it is so anywhere in your essay. I don't beleive love is a waste of time, because to feel like someone gives a ** about your insignificant little existance is probably the most amazing thing in the world, and it is worth the pain one goes through to attain such a feeling. So, to sum things up: I disagree and you need to backup your statements with evidence. I hope you don't take this as a flame, as I really don't mean offense, but i can't help myself with a topic as complicated as this one.
An Inside Joke 2005-07-04 ch 1,	abuseI agree with you somewhat that a person can still live a full life without falling in love, but when you said that love isn't necessary, you ignored love between, say, parents and their children, or between brothers and sisters. In fact, I think that when you said people don't need love but that they do need friends, I thought that was a contradiction, because I love my closest friends, and those I don't love are more aquaintances than friends. Second, I think that there's more to love than attraction and infatuation and all teh other dictionary terms you used. For example I've never done a study on it or anything, but I believe children raised by "loving" parents will be more adjusted than children raised by parents who fight all the time and may not love each other so much. Nevertheless, you're welcome to your views, and I agree with them to a point. As for the writing itself, I didn't think it was as clear as it could have been, and I don't think you developed your ideas as much as you could have, but you got your major point across.
