Ah yes - the old branching threads troll.

-1/10.

[Hydey]

How surprising

the general opinion has not changed at all over the years.

[Skanky Burns]

That was quite generous of you, AH.

[Scouse Gits]

-5/10

No - not with as active a forum as this ...

But what do SG[2] & SG[3] think?

And AH was being far too generous. -6/10. This was funny at first but its a tired argument these days...

Dear Lord, is this insulting to Humanity...

[Andemagne]

no, we don't need branching threads.
I like my Apolyton the way it is.

Right-o.

well considering how many people took it seriously, I think I need a better rating . Rating should be based upon how many posters take the original post seriously.

I figured it was a long time since I seen a thread asking for branching threads. Perhaps if I waited another 6 months or a year, hardly anyone would remember the originals. Well except for those die hard posters who will never leave apolyton. Kind of scary some of you guys- and probably myself will be posting when we're 60 years old.

I don't think so. I remember GP has tried this once or twice in the time that even I've been here (and I'm a relative newbie)

I'll be posting here in 60 years still if it still exists! And of course, if I still exist.

[Immortal Wombat]

Can you prove you even exist now?

[DarkCloud]

You wonder why I deserted that argument- because

1.) I can prove that I exist because when I kick you, you hurt. Therefore through experience I exist (at the very least- I exist subjectively in both YOUR world and mine)

The only way technophile was arguing was so that it was impossible to argue against. It wasn't a 'stupid' argument, in fact he thought his answers out. However his argument was based upon the assumption that anything a human being OR EVEN ALL HUMAN BEINGS think is innately wrong because 'some' observations are wrong.

But are those observations really wrong?
If 100% of people, or even 98% of people (including the 2% who are insane or just lying) see something as being prickly, then it is prickly- it does not matter what the 2% think... If the 2% touch it and are pricked it is obviously prickly.

IF somehting happens 100% of the time, such as a cactus pricker pricking someone hwen they touch it- it is obviously true until it is iproven GUILTY of being NOT TRUE.

Something is TRUE until it is DISPROVEN.
