Ask Penumbra Stuff?

[Penumbra]

I like homo sapiens the best, though. The animal I most closely compare myself with is a human, seeing as how I am one. I guess the next closest genetic comparison would be a chimpanzee.

I'm not a pet person, at all.

But I like birds, cats, and snakes. (I think snakes are adorable.)

I found a pic of Penumbra on the web.
I hope she won't mind me posting it here:

Yes, and I think it's a great read.

Aristotle's school is my preferred philosophical school compared to his contemporaries (though I like many of his contemporaries as well).

A DIR is a Discuss Individual Religion subforum. On the home page, if you scroll down, you'll see the DIR subforums. These are areas for specific groups, like Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, or Muslims, and other groups, to have a place for themselves where they can discuss aspects of their faith. Non-members of those groups can only post respectful questions, so it's a place that is mainly for use by members of that group and also a source of knowledge for other people.

Your title says you're a Buddhist, so for example, here is the Buddhist DIR:
Buddhism DIR - Religious Education Forum

I must say, this site is the most organized, well put together I have encountered so far. I`m relatively new to message boards and only been using the computer for about 2 years. Kudos to you people for a job well done.
