That’s the smartest notion you’ve had so far on this thread. Too bad you couldn’t have taken that advice, oh—a few pages ago, when someone else (I forget who) offered it up to you.
Nah, I think I’m going to sleep for a while. Goodnight Dopers.
Something tells me he didn’t really need to ask…
Oh, make up your ‘minds’, will you?
Let it go folks.
gobear is right this is just bullying and serves no useful purpose. It’s not helping the OP and anyone else who is enjoying it should have a look at why they are here.
NHIBI only wanted to complain about a hijack of a thread, and from some of the responses I gather NHIBI had some justification.
I felt stupid for my contibutions after NHIBI made a serious response to a post that I intended to make fun of him/her - it was nonsense. I know that in real life I would not be so cavalier with someone else’s failure to understand and I don’t think that taking cheap shots in the Pit confers any honour on me at all.
I think if smart asses like us kept our mouths (keyboards) shut and left it to more supportive types to respond, NHIBI may see how things have gone wrong.
Right now NHIBI is backed into a corner by a gang of bullies and, completely wrong though he may be, he isn’t going to give in. So if we all walk away from the keyboard, take a few deep breathes and think about what we are doing maybe things will work out.
And Libertarian’s hijack:
Given
~N(~g)
Prove g
- g --> N(g)
- N(g) v ~N(g)
- ~N(g) --> N(~N(g))
- N(g) v N(~N(g))
- N(~N(g)) --> N(~g)
- N(g) v N(~g)
- N(g)
- N(g) --> g
Conclusion:
g
QED
Beats me too.

They has tricksed us! Stupid, FAT HOBBITSES!
Never Have I Because I: I read over your silly pit thread. I gave your cause careful thought.
In a final conclusion: You’re a moron.
I respect Libertarian. He provides welcome contribution to these boards, and one of the most scholarly posters in GD, a fairly lofty title. However, there are times that I have disagreed with Lib, whether in views or demeanor.
This is not one of them. NHIBI, you will earn my respect as soon as you stop posting misleading and completely stupid pit threads. My advice to you, you inimical cabbage, is to lurk until you learn, as I have, to minimize your idiocy when posting.

OOOOH!
Can I have that for a sig line? Pretty pretty please!!!
Never Have I Because I
I apologized, I am waiting for an acceptance of said apology.
Apology accepted.
=======================
Don’t ask
Beats me too.
Four pages in 8 hours? Damn, this is a busy thread!
In my thread about superstitious people, Libertarian took a great big witnessing shit in it.
Try again. I’m cetainly not the quickest wit in the world but even I could see that Lib was using the God exists example as a corollary. You’re suppsed to substitute “the supernatural” for “God”.
Also, when called on his bullshit, he mysteriously disappears
Excuse me? You’re the one who went to bed and never returned to the thread!
Nah, I think I’m going to sleep for a while.
Translation: “I’m getting my ass kicked. Time to bow out of this thread.”

This guy who works at Target is the source of the proof, or merely the custodian?
Perhaps, given that the OP has posted saying s/he has left, we can all go do something else and chalk one up to a Big Lesson Learned. Surely there are far more important things to do … say, memorizing the names of the precambrian protozoa. One never knows when they will become bar-room trivia;)
Well…
OK.
Just as long as there aren’t any big words involved.

Understanding them is not as essential to their memorization as is the case with philosophy. Will it make things easier if you know that something with “flagella” in its name has little hair things on it that ease in movement and defense? Yes. Do you ultimately have to know what it means purely for purposes of memorization? Not so much. IMO, anyway. Perhaps your experience will bear out an alternate hypothesis.
[sub]Yes, I got the joke:)[/sub]
Hey, philosophers have bills to pay, too, ya know.
Would you respect him more if he wasn’t holding down a day job?
That reminds me of a scene from Max Dugan Returns*…
Grandpa: He majored in philosophy.
Grandson: Philosophy? You can make money with philosophy?
Grandpa: Oh, sure. If you’ve got the right one.

Could you please point me to a source of names of precambrian protozoa?
I’m not really afraid of large, immense, gargantuan, or even preponderous, big words. I’m especially interested in anything which has ‘flagella’ in its name.
Interesting, unlike real proofs it is not universally accepted so where are we now?
Obviously Anselm thought this argument was valid and persuasive, and it still has occasional defenders, but many, perhaps most, contemporary philosophers believe that the ontological argument, at least as Anselm articulated it, does not stand up to strict logical scrutiny.

This provides a working definition, and this provides more specific (though still, AFAIK, fairly general) terms.
