Blessed be His divine Noodly Appendages. Ramen.

Ha, that's funny. That poor excuse of an argument could be used for practically anything, so it falls flat on it's face. It's clear to me that the Fly...

Yeah, that's pretty funny. You asked him whether all sugar should be banned because his bad argument could lead to that conclusion, and then his respo...

Maybe, but I'm having fun.

Are you a dualist, then? Physical and mental? I'm not sure where I stand on that, but explanations in terms of the physical can explain quite a bit. I...

Answer: of course it doesn't necessarily, and even if it does to some extent, the community isn't everything. It is pretty mindless to just assume tha...

:lol:

That's very different to how I interpreted the statement. To state that emotions are redundant is to suggest that they have no function, serve no purp...

It's pretty shocking to call emotion redundant.

I haven't read that, or any other scientific studies on the matter, and I'm largely ignorant of science, but it must be inadequate. Apparently that's ...

:wink: :point:

Have you tried a more charitable interpretation? That might help. Or maybe just reading what I said?

Talking past each other again?

This is where I predict he'll say something about communities, seemingly oblivious to the fact that communities are made up of people with brains, mea...

What lovely green eyes you have.

There are a number of people participating in threads here. One of those people is sharing magnificent thoughts. And then there's a group which crowds...

I reckon you would've got it. Or at least come closer to getting it than other attempts. I doubt you would've responded with some irrelevant nonsense ...

What I find amusing is that I made the point in plain language right before I first gave the analogy, yet somehow you still managed to miss it and go ...

The last thing you want to do, you mean. Anyway, stop it now. You're just encouraging me to respond with more inappropriate humour. I can't help mysel...

Would you like to take a stab at the point I was making with my analogy? Something tells me that you'll fare better than certain others.

Two possibilities and an actuality.

Kids tend not to be as quick-witted. And it's a dead thread in any case. But, if you insist, Buzz Killington. I'll find some other way to amuse myself...

Well, I'm good in bed. Or so my mother says. Until recently, I thought that I was good at punctuation, but it turns out that I wasn't using enough pun...

In my professional opinion, I think it would've been a better ending if, instead of saying to herself, "Justice!", she said to herself, "Horseradish!"...

Anyway, what made you decide to name yourself after the Royal Bank of Scotland?

It's mere-s. Get it right.

I see I'm fighting a losing rap battle. You're really good at being brap brap brap to other people. I'm not.

You realise we're in public, right?

You misspelt "poser".

Well, at least you tried.

Thanks. I really believe you. I really do. I think it might have something to with the fact that I'm British. Or the fact that I'm a serial killer.

Accepterly apologed. You should be more modest, like me. Yeah. You should be more coolheaded, like me. Methinks "methinks" sounds like you're trying t...

Sheesh. I'm glad you have a sense of humour about these things instead of taking it personally. I bet you'd be real fun to be around at a stand-up com...

Yes. Yes, it is. And the West doesn't do this, or at least nothing like the extent to which that sort of thing happens in other places. So the West is...

Nonsense. I just did all of that whilst eating a three course meal, performing a cartwheel, and banging your mum. Two out of ten, in case you were won...

I pick up your case. Walk over to you with it in my hand. And swing it as hard as I can, aiming for the back of your head. I then let out a warrior cr...

I think I just interpreted the opening post more dohaggertertially than you two. I think the original poster meant thinking the sentences in an audito...

I haven't denied any of the "dog shit" in my "yard". Stop trying to spin your own narrative and try to be reasonable. Pointing to particular extreme c...

You must be trolling. I quoted it in that same reply. Ah. Yes. Obviously. I'm the one who's biased. Because I happen to be English. :eyes: Yes, a fall...

I just applied the principle of flabberty and assumed that he meant to pick an example along those lines which is actually impossible. The difficulty ...

Baden can do it.

I don't know about that. I've been trying to pen a book for some time now, but I've been suffering from writer's block. The letter "S" is the furthest...

What a horribly judgemental view of those who take recreational drugs. I think that that is far more immoral than the act of taking recreational drugs...

I don't know the answer in terms of neuroscience. Ask a neuroscientist. Or at least a science forum. This is a philosophy forum. But we can't do so be...

I frequently clarify upon request, but, funnily enough, when someone persistently misinterprets me, or fails to get the point, I tend to become less i...

No, that is just your completely unfounded and unreasonable belief, Devans. It is a belief that you are psychologically attached to. The only bit that...

Some questions don't dignify a response. Yes, there's nothing constructive in criticism which suggests the way to self-improvement through educating y...

I once heard a tale about an over-thinker. I'm sure there was a moral to the story, but I'm not sure what it was. I'll give it some more thought. :chi...

No, it's better how I said it. (And sometimes less is more).

Then you would have completely misunderstood me once again. No, it would help if you paid closer attention.
