Actually, the age of the ‘facts’ is very important. If they are 2000 years old and the book you’re reading them from isn’t, then chances are good that they’ve been copied a few times, and probably revised along the way. There is no way of being sure that something is a fact. You can be more sure about something, but you can’t ever prove it. (Brain in a jar type thought experiment.) So technically there are no facts, just very likely possible fictions.

Is this an argument against my point? [Hint: no.]

If you want to get `technical’ about it, Jesus couldn’t possibly have been green.

Why not?

Because sxe dopefiend used the word technically as a prelude to abandoning the actual technicalities.

If you have to show your superiority, just post your dick size.

I wonder what weak spirits you must be used to arguing with that you still think this rhetorical device cuts ice. The guy reported his IQ as 143 and asked to be taken seriously because of it. I pointed out to him that to be taken seriously he should learn to write. And yes, I gave him the haircut about it. You want I should hold his hand and pat his ass? I don’t wonder that the kid can’t write. He’s probably been pampered by people like you all his life.

And speaking of getting Freudian on a guy, quit projecting your insecurities onto me.

What thread is this from? I’m confused.

Ignore sxe dopefiend , he’s just Micheal Masterson in disguise.

And he isn’t any more interesting this way, either.

At least he told the truth about his age, Danny.

Everything else is nonsense, though.
