I'm getting tired of this now. It's all because of a fact that has to be compromised. You can't read a person from one e-mail, of course not. But if we went around like that, no-one would ever reply. But let me get this straight, you're doing exactly the same to me. You immediately assume I'm a dick, from one e-mail. I really doing have the time. > I can out code you drunk! Do I give a shit?

Of course you're just going to blame me for doing the same. Did I ever said I knew what Jeremy was like? I was replying to the e-mail, I didn't even read his name. You know what, I can't even be bothered to argue with you guys anymore, I can only reiterate the same truths. You think I'm narrow minded, I know I'm not, I think you're narrow minded, you probably know you're not, now let's all just shut the fuck up. ======================================================= In a world which your mind controls, belief is reality. -- T.D.

Logic boils down to cause and effect. Even emotion and art Of course it is, but I was talking of straight scientific logic, rather than the broader philisophical logic. Yes, I agree but it depends on your dpeth of thinking. If an abstract artist did something completely abstract, is it logical? This is arguable. You could say it is because he was forced into escapism from early in life, and there's the cause and effect, but then the whole idea of abstract art is that it is abstract, without any particular cause and effect. > follow rules of logic.

What people need to realise is that logic is a beautiful that takes many forms, not that boring thing that cuts emotion out of the picture. ======================================================= In a world which your mind controls, belief is reality. -- T.D.

His poetry is so vague and so muddled that people 400 years You see, you probably will deny it, but you're becoming the very person that you critisize me of being.

Now your just being that, I've got a degree in Astronmomy, so I'm better than you guy again. Do you want to know how fucking hard it was trying to decide between Maths, Astrophysics and Software.

Me neither, but sometimes it makes you realize things, not necessarily what they're saying is true, but the difference between what we're fed, and what really *is*. You cannot possibly ignore this. Do want to know how frustrating it is to try and persuade someone that the music that they're fed on TV, is not the best out there, in fact, quite possibly the worst, and then get sweared at for being 'narrow minded', which ironically is exactly what thy're being. It's analogous to trying to tell someone not to do something that's going to kill them, and them just ignoring you, and there they walk right into it. You can't tell them that you told them so, because they're dead. I think we're on the same side here, just at least listen to everybody's side. Closing your ears to anything is one of the roots of evil in this world. And please don't try to slot me into a category of person. I have a habit of believing one thing, then people try to slot me, then I raise an opinion against that slot, and they just can't understand, I mean, what the fuck is that? > -jeremy > > +================================================================+ > Jeremy Hallum, Assistant System Manager & Grad Student, > Astronomy, Boston University/email_address_removed:::email_address_removed Don't bother trying to defend yourself this time, I can't even be bothered. ======================================================= In a world which your mind controls, belief is reality. -- T.D.

No fucking way, that would be immoral, or faithless, or something, wouldn't it!?? :) I got it from the Bible! Let's examplify with the above sentence: gay => adj. 1. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry "Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven ..." -- Luke 6:23 "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit .. " -- Luke 10:21 "And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost." -- Luke 15:6 pedophile => n. 1. A friend of children. "But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." -- Mark 10:14 hung => v. Past tense and a past participle of hang. hang => tr.v. 1. To fasten from above with no support from below; suspend. crucify => tr.v. 1. To put (a person) to death by hanging from a cross. "Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. " -- John 19:18 Etc. > Funny . . . all these posts are making me wonder more about many of the > claims that everyone keeps bashing. Nobody seems to be bashing Buddha, > or Mohammed. Maybe there is something relevant about all of it after > all . . . Well, followers of Buddha haven't exactly caused a lot of havoc in the western world. How many Buddhist crusades were there!?
