Je suis un optimiste convertit a la perplexité.
Ça me rend dubitatif!
Un optimiste convertit à la perplexité dubitative, c’est pas gagné…

En tout cas, ce qui est sûr c’est que tout ça est clair, dans la mesure où je vois pas pourquoi un désir ne peut aussi exacerbé, au même titre qu’un sentiment dubitatif peut rendre perplexe (et inversement).
Comme dirait l’autre (le même que à vu l’ours qui a vu la bête) “vaut mieux ça qu’l’inverse”.
Perplexe?
Non, exacerbé.

Salut
j'ai vu que certaind'entre vous écrivaient des phrases "philosophiques" pour leur signature et j'ai trouvez ça tres sympa.
Si vous en connaissez laissez en une ou deux svp.
merci.

Tiens, en voici 10 pages

[bricos]

le plus dur quand on avale un dictionnaire c'est de le chier ensuite
(c'est pas ma phrase philosophique, c'est juste pour le très prolixe namu)

tu nous en traduit deux ou trois y'a des subtilités qui m'échappent...
(je saisi vaguement le truc du genre : donne à un homme un poisson tu le nourris un jour, apprends lui à pecher et tu le nourris toute sa vie...)

[julious]

Hilarant ! J'avais déjà lu ca avant mes études d'informatique...

Merci namu

[Francoulet]

Namu: pour la peine, t'aurais quand pu nous les traduire

[namu]

Ce sont des détournements de maximes ou citations célèbres. Elles sont l'héritage du Discordianisme, méditez-les, et nes ignorez pas pour leur apparente bêtise: elles sont vraies PARCE QU'elles sont bêtes

[No6]

P'tain namu,
c'est de philosophie au kilo-metre?
sinon je suis tombé récement sur:
"Cette année, les aveugles ne verront que bien peu, les sourds ouïront assez mal; les muets ne parleront guère;
les riches se porteront un peu mieux que les pauvres, et les sains mieux que les malades.
Vieillesse sera incurable cette année à cause des années passées..."
Prédiction de Rabelais à la manière des almanachs.
