    Japanese Rain Goggles
    A phrase that means absolutely nothing but was designed to cause hype on the internet.

    But if it was designed and if it actually causes something, can it really be described as meaning nothing?

    FMF,

    Lets just say, IF I were to say something was white, you would say it was black, just for argument sake.

    You copy pasted something from the internet. I didn't call any white thing black.

    The question is whether something that is deliberately created to cause something, and can be seen to affect people in the intended way, can accurately be said to be meaningless?

    The thread is about reality of internet hype even when the hype might be seen as dealing with something ostensibly unreal.

    There is no "just for argument sake", as such, except in so far as any General Forum topic might be described that way.
    😛

    Google is your friend. And it seems to me that the Topic is not approbriate for a Family friendly site.

    Why not going back to Suzi's private message made public by the
    hypocrite bastard?

    Much more interesting.

    To you perhaps. But what's your opinion worth?

    Well, well. Thank you. One lives and one learns. I had no idea. I thought Very Rusty had got it exactly right. 😛

    Depends on what topic. Your age and weight, for example? It's worth a
    lot. It even got me a ban, so...

    It gets to you. So it keeps me going.

    Darkness and decay is creeping towards all of us, inexorably, you'll get around it.
