Lib, I understand your anger, since (and it pains me to admit this) so many Cecilians are in people’s faces all the time and so many others teach a warped, twisted version of Cecilanity, damning to Ignorance those who have never even heard the Column.
But the Column is true, and it’s Good News. Each of us makes our own decisions of course, but I hope you can take the following advice in the Spirit in which it is given.
If you will but open your heart to Cecil, he will enter it and bring you peace. After that, it won’t matter one whit to you whether the solution to the Monty Hall question is literally true or whether the shower curtain mystery is truly solved by science or not. The underlying message, of Ignorance Eradication and Everlasting Knowledge, is what’s important here.
Lib, kid, I’ll break this down into teeny tiny words that will fit into your teeny tiny mind. Paying attention in your junior college reading comprehension class does not make you a great debater. We see newbies like you all the time.
You barge in here spouting ridiculous nonsense about how the Earth is not* fixed at the center of the universe. That somehow, contrary to all common sense, the Earth is spinning and hurtling through the firmament without flinging us all off into the void. You don’t provide anything to back this foolishness up other than some moldy old quotes from long-dead European astronomers. You think we’ll all just turn around, forget what we’ve known for thousands of years and agree with your enlightened words.
It’s been explained to you countless times just where the flaws in your argument are. You’re wrong. Deal with it.
[sub]Sorry, I just finished reading “Galileo’s Daughter” and it’s kind of rattling around in my head.
I don’t buy that good news crap. What’s the good news about how many colors are in a seaman? A bit of bigotry from the almight Cecil… Hcxz!!!
Please don’t bring that mumbo jumbo to me. I know a rat’s ass when I smell it, DO I SOUND LIKE AN IFIOT TO YOU?. I’ve studied this stuff. I read all those books and I like throwing stuff back in their feces.
You know, even if you don’t believe that Cecil really exists, that doesn’t mean that what he teaches isn’t impressive. You don’t have to believe in him to realize that the information about sperm trees and colitis is true.
But, Captain, if Cecil doesn’t write the columns, if they are not the work of the All-Wise but rather forged by Ed and a bunch of trollcatchers, then how can anyone ever put any credence in them.
All or nothing, man! Anything else is a travesty of the truth!
Okay, look. I’ll try ONE MORE TIME to be reasonable. Here’s my logic…
Cecil says something, right? Every body goes "ho’, right?
Okay, I can get that without reading anwything, so what’s the point? Can you prove me wrong/ What if I just say some bullshit? Just make up some stuff? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WTF I"M SYING TO YOU!!!
Lib hasn’t said anything offensive, or wrong, or anything like that at all! He speaks his mind, expresses an unpopular opinion (or one that just isn’t shared by all you old-timers and Clique Members) and you just up and dogpile on him! Geez! What’d he ever do to you???
[sub]AS IF Lib needs a defender…;)[/sub]
This must be one of those cliques people are always going on about … I’ve read through this thread a dozen times, and I don’t have clue-friggin’-One of what the hell anybody is talking about (except for Ginger’s breasts, of course).
I are no genious Jack… but I am with you buddy… what in the hell is going on in this thread? I keep reading to see who is going to confuse me next… kind of fun
