On and on and on you go. For whose benefit?

Poor form, Scriabin, too much, too harsh, too coarse boarish and tasteless... and that coming from someone who's not normally on FMF's side, this exceeds any reasonable boundaries that these forums should have. Taken it down like 2 notches out of 10 and then it might be just a bit harsher than the rest of us.

Did this thread finally die? I was wondering how long it would live without me.

Let's see what you all had to say.

I would like you to back up the following statements you have made:
1. I am a male
2. I am a female
3. I am south east asian
4. I am a Brit
5. conservative Americans are unpatriotic
6. Americans who disagree w/their current presidents policies are unpatriotic

if you can muster up the courage to address these claims on your part I have more.
Now that's just spamming. If one's challenges have been properly addressed it's just harassment to keep making more and more challenges. The other person has demonstrated enough honesty that every little thing shouldn't be challenged.

Although the fact that she's claimed to be both male and female show she's a liar, unless she's a hermaphrodite.

So I'm not supposed to provide a yes, no, or "neither answer is appropriate because..."


All right.

2 + 2 is human symbolism for one of the great truths of the universe. Now there are different mathematical bases in which this might not seem to be true, or is perhaps not true at all.

How was that?

Blame FMF, not me. She believes it based on her past posts.

Yes or no questions are often used both to clarify truth and to conceal it.

Your question was not yes or no, but I did my best not to answer definitively.

I love when two highly irritating, rhetorically manipulative, mindnumbingly persistant trolls go at each other. I don't have the endurace to deal with these types, but when they lock horns with one another...it's like perpetual motion!

OT: Did you know that Professor Michio Kaku, in his book, "Physics of the Impossible," lists the perpetual motion machine as one of only two popular science fiction concepts that fundamentally violate the rules of physics as we know them.

For a big fake wad of cash (you choose the amount) and my undying admiration, can anyone guess the other?

I'm not sure what you mean by energy creator. I guess that's impossible, but I don't know of any science fiction concepts that purport to create one. I guess the closest thing is the perpetual motion machine.

Time travel: Good guess, but no; that is possible in some cases by using wormholes. If you're interested in reading about how (too complicated for me to go into), there's a great book written by Kip Thorne (A physics professor in one of the U. of California schools) called "Black Holes and Time Warps." The whole last chapter explains how time machines might be possible.

You're in the ballpark though.
