Input error line #1671. Robots can not be given human feeling before being given human language.

I believe this poem relates to philosophy in the sense that it puts forward premises which it uses to make conclusions. I do not think the poet has attempted to argue about word definitions and opposites. Rather she took for granted that the opposite of 'i love you' was 'i hate you' (because the opposite of love is hate) and zodiac opened up the debate. Had there been a word that translated 'i love you' into 'i hate you' perfectly I am sure she would have used that instead of opposite.

Congrats. Previously it was only the poem that was stupid. Following your defense of, it is now clear you are stupid.

I was wrong about reciprocal. The first two lines are premises leading onto the third line. Line 2 does not lead on from line 1. Probably need to make clear that 'i hate you' and 'i have no feelings for you' are new premises and not part of 'i love you' too.

Devolution as in 'of government'. Scotland has its own parliament but still has an effect on england's way of life. I get the feeling the narrator would be quite glad to see the back of scotland altogether.

I don't know if you meant this, but it reads as though there is no object of your 'love' but rather you are just transforming the phrase I love you.

Not sure this is a great insight into mice but it sounds ok. Apart from 'not but strife' which sounds ridiculous.

The T-word irritates me, I find the idea of poets (or anyone) saying what truth is a bit pretentious. The F-word in the penultimate line, the same. As for 'converse' maybe use reciprocal or something like that.

I don't recall ever talking about straw men but I do rather embarrass myself when attacked so it is possible. Anyway, I just wanted to say I am grateful for the help I get from you zodiac. Thanks.

again you fail to make a coherent point. Robert Frost would tell me to learn from jroday. And why, because: 'Frost did not just use the man as a character in his poem, he learned from him.'. What the hell has that to do with telling me to learn from someone who can't write. Go to eratosphere, even to sleepless whispers. Post one of your poems there. See what they say. See if they think that poems that don't track and or have no substance are good poems.

because every time I deconstruct one of your uneducated platitudes you come up with ten more. Do you believe there are ace poets out there who would disagree with me on these points. Do you think a single serious poet would tell me or any student to learn from jroday? And why drag him into it.

What are you talking about you mad woman. Of course logic can be incorrect. Half of your poems are testament to that. Your problem is that you think using incorrect logic is a good thing. It is not. Also my example was mocking your explanation of how snow can feel warm. To say some rubbish about wavelengths is not to argue snow makes you warm. It does not follow.
