yar i liky dis one bit norty.

"That's what consciousness is for." Consciousness is consciousness. Our reactions to the environment are behaviour. Establishing that consciousness is a prerequisite for particular patterns of reaction to the environment is equivalent to a refutation of epiphenomenalism, which frankly I don't think you're up to, old boy.

You're a very silly person, indeed.

You have taken a totally wrong-headed approach to this conversation. If someone says "In my opinion, X" then they think X is a fact. If someone says "In fact, X" then they think X is a fact. They are both opinions, and they are both asserted to be facts. You want everyone to prefix all their assertions with "In my opinion,...". But that is obviously both impractical, and redundant. Have a look at your original dig at the unpc community: "The thing I find most fascinating about people who hate PC is that they feel like somehow the dreaded “PC” has some how shackled them..." Did you say "In my opinion the thing I find most fascinating about people who hate PC..."? No. You just stated your opinion. Have you spoken to every politically incorrect person? No. Does that matter? Well if you had it would add weight to your argument, but it doesn't mean you're wrong, or that your assertion is completely unfounded. Noone came back at you with jibes about having never done a thorough survey. Richa just gave you his opinion on the matter, which was that political correctness hadn't changed our attitudes. I said I thought political correctness was symptomatic of a change in attitudes. And then you blurted in with the "most" argument. For pity's sake, you should have shared your opinion with the rest of the group when you had the chance. What do you really think most people feel about political correctness?

dear mr and mrs richa, What are you guys doing? Are you dating? Oh you’re married, I then apologize Richa for implying that your beloved is lacking in the smarty points, she is a genius. Let’s do some recaps on her cleverness: first she uses her spidey skills to get me by asking me what I meant by semantics, I mean that usually shows someone, ask them what the "big" word means, yeah that will show them, the little lady is quick, she showed me with that one, some people view that is sort of eighth grade tactic, but used properly that technique usually floors people, hey it floored me. Then she demands that I tell everyone what I think on PC, because I’m being a dunce. Oh man the word play the cleverness, the sarcastic bite, the forcefulness, the working of the logic there, my god I think she the reincarnate of Dorothy Parker. Oh and then finally her biggest gem of a post, in defense of you Ricah, when she explained to me how “some” and “most” weren’t the same which demonstrated that you, her beloved, wasn’t using semantics, my god that brought tears to my eyes, I learned so much from that post. I hope that one day when god makes me human that he will give me a brain as well developed as Dark Angel, because that girl she is …words simply can’t describe. You are a lucky human. Congratulations on the nuptials kiddies. meow, cat

dear richa, That obviously was me being mean. It made you say you'd break my little cute kitty leg, yes I said I'd scratch your futon, but that is only a minor crime, breaking a sweet kitty’s legs, that's just cruel and unusual and I can only guess that was because of my clever thought provoking comments implying that your friends were deceiving you. I’m glad I didn’t tell you about your best friend and that girl you like at the library. I in no could have privy to information that your friends do or do not have on you or what they are or are not telling you, but I will admit one thing, I was talking out my ass on the above point, so do you admit that you were talking out your ass on the most people statement. Opinion alright, but now you are trying to act as if it is a fact, dude, really. Come on, say uncle, if you do I promise from now on I'll be a good kitty that will only do my business in the litter box. meow, cat p.s. i'm a cat and cat's are known to be liars, as of right now i’m getting ready to cook and sauté your favorite goldfish, yum good.

1) 'This isn't about PC at all is it, this is about you thinking you are better than everyone else and the frustration you feel for being forced to cohabitate with people who are obviously inferior to a high IQ having, A-level taking, smart, logical, human like you.' yes. 2) '“Most” is a save, oh wait if I put little numbers on the side will that make it more true...anyway most is a save, people only use most, so if a person counters and says, "hey well I know for a fact that people in Istanbul don't think that way." you can say, "oh I said most, so I don't have to address that anomaly."' By saying most, the inference is 'not all'. That is a statement without 'savers' as you would put it. 3) 'Look UK human with a high IQ (yeah i know that you don't have a high IQ, you are bordering on being mentally challenged you were simply saying that to prove a point, damn me, damn me, damn me)' Well done, you spotted the clause 'if I said'. Unfortunately you seem to believe that by making the 'if' clause, the opposite must be true (bordering on mentally challenged). Shame you had to undo the good work. 4) 'I'm surprised you would get so angry about possibly being thought of as a racist, since everyone around you is, oh pardon me, most people around you.' This assumes the only problem one would have with being called racist is how the majority of people would react to such a label. This has no grounding in logic. 5) Common sense is merely what you are said to have when you agree with people who have rubbish a-levels and/or degrees.

You are in no position to judge who is smart and who is not. You are unable to separate hypothetical (i.e. if .... is .... then....) from the concrete. This is no surprise as cats have no neo-cortex and are as such incapable of reasoning.

dear "now I'm very angry and I will show you, you damn cat", Break my leg, what a very mean human you are. “Most” is a save, oh wait if I put little numbers on the side will that make it more true...anyway most is a save, people only use most, so if a person counters and says, "hey well I know for a fact that people in Istanbul don't think that way." you can say, "oh I said most, so I don't have to address that anomaly." So it is a save. Your IQ example can't be used it's a standard test that people take throughout the Western part of the world and you could say with confidence if you IQ was 1% that you were smarter than most people in regards to a particular IQ test, but prejudice is a bit more subjective than that so using terms like most or some are kind of your way of giving yourself a save and slanting the facts to favor your opinion, and that is what it is, an opinion, unless you can find me a test that measures open-mindedness. I didn't say you agreed with anyone, I simply said you don't know everyone, so you can't speak as if you do, well you can, but you might get challenged, i.e., you are being challenged right now. Look UK human with a high IQ (yeah i know that you don't have a high IQ, you are bordering on being mentally challenged you were simply saying that to prove a point, damn me, damn me, damn me), I didn't say you were a racist, but I'm surprised you would get so angry about possibly being thought of as a racist, since everyone around you is, oh pardon me, most people around you. Oh I get it you were trying to say that you are better than the people around you, oh so we are back to the "common" comment. This isn't about PC at all is it, this is about you thinking you are better than everyone else and the frustration you feel for being forced to cohabitate with people who are obviously inferior to a high IQ having, A-level taking, smart, logical, human like you. My deepest sympathies, I wish you could be a stupid cat like me… but i'm going to use your favorite shoes as my litter box. meow, cat

'I guess no one told you that is not the case' Did you interview more than fifty percent of the population to arrive at this statement then. Disclaimer: This would be the logical conclusion had what you said about me not having known most of the population meaning I can not judge how well liked minorities are. This reasoning should not be attached to the author of the comment and further argument toward the man should be avoided.
