    You're just going to have to be philosophical about it.

    Ditto. Although I admit to being sad enough to navigate to:

    http://www.philosophersnet.com/

    and clicking on the "Philosophical Health Check" icon which takes you to:

    http://www.philosophersnet.com/games/check.php

    Where I received the score of 20%. One of the "tensions" was related to
    saying it was OK to drive a car somewhere when it wasn't strictly necessary,
    but also agreeing that one should not damage the environment unnecessarily.
    Good thing they didn't have a question about riding a bike strictly for
    pleasure.

    FFS.

    Works OK if you go through from http://www.philosophypress.co.uk
    first.

    Stupid results though, as they're really just forcing you to interpret
    words in one way or another, then using those answers to pick up
    apparent contradictions. For instance,
    Is bollocks. Just because I think it's a matter of taste doesn't mean
    I shouldn't be able to exercise my own taste, as it were.

    Anyway, I got 33% (after fixing one I'd mis-answered).

    You too eh? Yes, it's bollocks, like the one I quoted. It's assuming
    a) that driving is damaging the environment unnecessarily and b) that
    just because I could walk means that driving is unnecessary.

    20%, but judging by their justifications for my contradictions, it's a
    complete crock of shite.

    I thought it a shortened version of "May God speed you along your
    journey", or some such bollocks.
    Yeah, me too, something to do with warding off evil spirits.

    13% here. I would have had a 6% score but I misread "The 2nd World war is a
    just war" statement

    I thought it said "The 2nd world war is just a war" which I thoroughly
    agreed with.

    Might try "Taboo", looks like it's designed for ukrm, even mentions
    chickens !

    Quite. Exactly what I got. I did wonder whether it was borked, TBH.

    that was the other one I had a tension with, and I agree with your
    summation of "is bollocks".

    Does seem borked I got the same results too. I just thought that since
    it was about taboos and rituals associated with death, food and
    sexuality violating strong social norms then it's probably normal on ukrm.

  18. No mention of bikes at all from what I could be arsed to look at. And
    bikes being invisible, we all know in these parts is downright fucking
    typical but that is not the end of it is it? It follows from that, that
    the whole thing is utter fucking bollox. This and
    if, as champ implies, they can't even use unambiguous English means that
    any conclusions they or you or any other **** draws from it is not worth
    the electrons it is displayed with. but that as we know from our recent
    experiences with the dumpy burd is typical of those who engage in
    psychobabble for a living. They are worse than politicians because at
    least you can argue with those cunts.

  19. That in itself is not anything anyone with half a brain should concern
    themselves with but the fact those behind that bollox offer themselves as
    masters of understanding of the human condition should be.
