Which philosophy do you follow?
Dualism?
Materialism?
Ontological materialism?
Idealism?
Other?

Personally, I am an ontological materialist.

Solitary

Realism, live and let live, hedonist.  Solitary
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

Shiranu

IIRC my philosophy class, I am a materialist and fuck idealism with a rusty spoon,

In thought I would say I am somewhere between hedonist and Buddhist, in practice I am not.

I tell people that I am an epicurean existentialist, that usually gives me a moment to get away.
A humans desire to live is exceeded only by their willingness to die for another. Even god cannot equal this magnificent sacrifice. No god has the right to judge them.-first tenant of the Panotheust

1) Pure materialist or Ontological Materialist?
2) Why the hate for Idealism?

To expand, I am also a nihilist, but with a small twist from classical nihilism.

I guess I am somewhat of an idealistic: I tend see how things could be used or put to work, does that count?

Idealism, in this context, is the view that everything is immaterial and based on the mind and ideas. It is the opposite of pure materialism.

I'm a dedicated follower of whatever works.  Hate fashion.  Also follow the philosophy of leave me the fuck alone philosophy--especially when I'm playing my games. 
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?
