Subject: how? We all grew up to believe that the color of this writing is black and not purple.. would I be correct? ( rhetorical question don' answer that) We all grew up to believe that a tree is a tree and that its leaves are leaves and we all grew up to believe that mathematically proven ( even using your fingers) that 2+2=4. Well I am currently and permanently in oppose to that. Long ago someone decided that the color of this font should be called black. Well what if they're wrong. What if you grew up and were led to believe with no opposition that the color of this font was purple and one day someone came strolling along and said " no little one that color would be black" you wouldn't believe him would you? Well neither do I. And what if you had been told by everyone around you that a tree was a wall and its leaves were its bricks. And one day this little old man comes up to you in the park while you and your mother were reminiscing about the beautiful " wall " and all of its "magenta" "bricks" and told you that everything you have learned about trees was absolutely false and wrong in every way you weren't even a little bit correct. Well whatever to that right? And long ago some crazy lunatic who called himself a mathematician decided that he would like 2+2 to equal some random number called four. He just totally made it up and somehow he got the whole world to believe him. You see ... in my mind 2+2 equals whatever it feels like it should equal that day. whether it be 16 or 108.2. and i guess what im getting at is that eveything that came out of anyones mind and somehow got written down in some crazy secular textbook should be considered an opinion. Even our very language that we speak was just randomly thought of by some long dead caveman. Think about it and get back to me. Edited by Caldwell on 08/18/08 - 12:27 AM. Reason: illiterate |

Italy is a good example of the theory that it is possible for countries to have the shape of a boot. An orange is not a good phallic symbol. Sex with a gerbil is like puking into a bucket that's too small. To the dismay of priests dirty dancing does not involve people of the same sex. Teen drinking is very bad unless you have a fake ID. A coconut is a mammal; it has fur, a hard skeleton and it gives milk. |

One of my favourites... Russell wrote:
By the law of the excluded middle, either `A is B' or `A is not B' must be true. Hence either `the present King of France is bald' or `the present King of France is not bald' must be true. Yet if we enumerated the things that are bald, and then the things that are not bald, we should not find the present King of France in either list. Hegelians, who love a synthesis, will probably conclude that he wears a wig. |
