The Thinkers Amongst You



I've been tagged by David Anthony to name five thinking blogs.

Hmmm. I'm thinking...

No, seriously, it wasn't that hard really. There are quite a few thoughtful blogs around. So here are my philosophical five;

1. Well, first had to be James Higham. He probably escapes by virtue of being on a blogging hiatus (some excuse about a flat refurbishment), but he is a man who sets a good example on his blog.

2. Bel can't deny she's a thinker. She's ALWAYS thinking. Every time you go round, she's thinking. Never stops, that girl.

3. Ruthie is a self confessed philosophy lover. Her place on this list was guaranteed. And pretty with it!

4. Step up, Raffi of CitiZENMINDful. A man with a different take on life and one worth looking at.

5. Every so often you come upon a new blog that is a real pleasure to have stumbled across. One such blog is Alexys Fairfield, at Unraveling the Spiritual Mystique, obviously a blogger who puts thought into her words and has a very good life philosophy. Only discovered it the other day. Well worth the find.

So if you're not on the list and you've not checked all five of those blogs, what are you still doing here?

If you ARE on the list, don't go running off- here are your tasks...

Lifted from The Thinking Blog;
Should you choose to participate, please make sure you pass this list of rules to the blogs you are tagging. I thought it would be appropriate to include them with the meme.

The participation rules are simple:


1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn't fit your blog).

I am surprised you have not included me - I published a solution for all crimes a while back - which still awaits adoption by a political party...

Princess- Oh dear. What have I done?

E-K- You surprise me. I shall store that fact.

Mutley- Well, had it been six, you would have ben the sixth...
What happened to the United Morris Dancing party, anyway?

Jenny- The choice was hard. But in consideration of your thoughts, you shall be on the list next time I get tagged. regardless.

Wow. Crushed, I am truly honored. Thank you. As Dorothy Parker said, "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can not make her think."

I have my work cut out for me.

The UMDP has split - it is mostly a question of musical influences... and Heidegger.

Thank you, Crushed. You are a sweetheart.

David- Somtimes you have to conform, otherwise you are conforming to non-conformity.

Jenny- Trust me, you WILL be tagged. I might even invent my own.
Now what can I think of...

JJ- It's not me trying to make you think. It's the other forces trying to stop you.

Alexys- But if the whore DID think, she's be my kind of girl!!
Seriously, your blog is very thought provoking. I like it a lot.

Mutley- The Spice Girls had that problem.

Ruthie- It would have been insulting if I had not included you. I am not impartial, but I'm fair.
