I'm not about to grab this thread and start a never ending argument...so I'd appreciate it if we didn't start a volly war. If you enjoy the art of arguing about nothingness, you're not alone. Might I suggest you harass your students if you are TAing an intro level logic class? Or perhaps stand inside the foyer of the nearest philosophy building with a sign reading "Free java if you come debate inane topics with me." I went back and read your previous thread with Nepenthe. Personally, I'd prefer to spend time with Nepenthe, who speaks plainly and frankly, then to run around in circles with you. Some of us do not have tongues of rubber that bend and twist to produce blubber. More importantly, most of us are not fooled into thinking it is a sign of intelligence. If debating is your idea of fun, might I suggest you choose another avenue to find sparring partners? The debates I've seen you engage in do not change opinion, but leave one with the feeling they are suspended and suffocating in a large vat of lime jello. Hmm...if perhaps that last line was a bit crude...after all, common people eat jello...allow me to substitue lime jello with "citrus flavored agar".
