You totally missed the point. Using "five red apples" to acquire five red apples shows that the user knows the correct use/meaning of "five red apples...

You made a Turkish press? Updating the passing theory.

Seem to be doing just fine to me. I am certainly one who is not familiar with it, at least not a conventional understanding... :wink: So, you'll alway...

I'd say so.

It is only the federal government than can relieve the injuries. Don't kid yourself. They have not. That's the point.

Sure. We're now both drawing correlations between the same things, after a little effort on my part to clarify which two statements I was referring to...

That was not well expressed by me. I meant in the paragraph at the top of this post. I found that an apt analogy. The continual need for ad hoc correc...

Or perhaps that using it correctly shows that one knows what it means. When someone goes to a store and asks for five red apples, receives five red ap...

Are you making the french press or what? :wink: Not sure if you wanted to continue the recent bit, or revise those two contentious claims. I'd like to...

Sometime soon... perhaps in the next week or two... Wonder who - exactly - will be granted such access. Is "My pillow" building a factory there?

Good to see the GOP spending their time upon what's most important right now... Nevermind eliminating and/or at least easing all of the economic, emot...

It very well may be. Our approaches and positions seem to me at least to be very much alike. Given I've adopted a number of your approaches to certain...

That all depends upon you. You are the only one that can decide that much. Not me. Personally, given my meticulous nature and fondness for complex sys...

Yes. Again, you've somehow chosen something out of the paper that I've already been carefully considered/studying. It's like you're reading my mind. C...

I'm suggesting that that failure to understand the very basics of meaning may constitute the entirety of the problem(s). Perhaps? As Davidson notes, t...

I think that this is key in actually understanding the issues that malapropism raise for the three principles in question. They cannot account for thi...

Ah.. you went back to the earlier part, and I moved on. We can do that. I just do not want to be an impediment to progress. So far as that answer goes...

I meant as a show of support for the movement itself. I doubt anyone would take offense for that.

Enter malapropisms and novel use and the issues that arise with the inability to take them into account by virtue of using the above principles... I w...

No worries. It would be cool though.

It's not true? Well, shit. I thought it was cool that they would do so...

Yeah, what a horrible thing to do. I mean it's not like there's any need to focus upon systemic racism, institutional racism, racial justice reform, a...

Well, as I said... I stand corrected on that. He has made a few(scripted by others) remarks about that. The facts proved me wrong on that, just as the...

Holy shit Isaac! Just read through a bit of the Naming and Necessity thread and after going through just one of our exchanges, I'm left with a very po...

This discussion was skirted around here. Successful reference was a notion that pervaded my contributions throughout that thread. The similarities her...

Take some advil. :wink: I'm going back to reading...

We can leave that bit above to the side if you like. I understand that it is tangential to the thrust of the paper. I'd not planned on focusing so int...

Interesting that you should mention this, because that particular section has definitely captured my attention. Due to the overwhelming compelling int...

Well shit... I stand corrected. I guess someone did stuff a few nice words about blacks into his mouth. :rofl: Probably killed him to say them. He's s...

Ah, yes! For what it's worth... I agree with Davidson when it comes to first meaning(involving sentences and words) requiring an idiolect(their use). ...

So, I've read the paper and the discussion thus far. Interesting. Particularly the parts about passing and prior theories as a means to account for th...

Thanks for clearing that up.

Trump's not the only racist currently in power.

"I hope there's not a race problem. I certainly do not have one." What a fucking dipshit.

I still extend the offer to quote and discuss which, if any, of the statements within the nine aforementioned paragraphs you are claiming is not true.

Sigh. Trump's thoughts and beliefs about racism and it's effects/affects, just like everyone else's, directly influence his language and behaviour reg...

You may be right. That's not the only agenda possible though. I'm certain that there are many who tolerate Trump in spite of his being racist and an i...

That was off the top of my head; no work really. That said... To answer your question... Assuming what you say here is true(that's probably a stretch,...

I do not want you to change the name, or discourage you from talking about the principles. It's a great start. I just wanted to encourage you to dig a...

I understand that, but I'm not sure if you understand what I've been getting at here. What you create is not the foundation of problem solving. Proble...

Mass incarceration and demonization. Go back further.

Well, one could be knowingly saying racist shit, and perpetuating racism by virtue of doing so, without being a person who devalues another based upon...

I, being who I am and all, actually offered him the benefit of the doubt by overestimating his intelligence level and granting that he may have been s...

The fact that your interpretation of that simple question causes you to hesitate on grounds of suspicion ought tell you something. That is in no way, ...

That's not how belief systems work... racist ones notwithstanding, but since you asked... He single-handedly used the powers of the presidency to keep...

Do tools think?

I would concur about much of it. No doubt. Some real big problems are left sorely unattended.

The president has the power to deputize armed militia groups.

More prima facie evidence of the disconnect. Talk about Black Lives Matter. It is all about the racial injustices that black people are subject to und...

Not everyone poses an equal risk to the officer's life. The inability to effectively distinguish between those who do and those who do not is a huge p...
