Do you remember the early pseudo-interactive programs for PCs in the
80's? The ones where you would say hello, and it would say, Why do you ask that? You would answer, " to be friendly" and it would say" do you feel the need to be friendly?" And so forth and so on. Do you remember the Monty Python routine about argument vs. contraryism? Do you remember this post from August 2002? The world according to SackAshby: If you say 2+2=4, he'll say 2 ducks and 2 apples don't equal 4 birds. If you ask why he brings up birds, he'll say it has nothing to do with math. You come back to 2+2 IS math, he'll say you heard that from someone 25 years ago. You say , well 2+2 does equal 4, he'll say you can't add fruit and fowl. Its an easy game to play, but it is only winnable by longevity, not by anything that has objective, or even subjective relevance to the topic. and it's not even novel: Sack: Now, let's get one thing quite clear... I most definitely told you! Person: You did not. Sack: Yes I did. Responder: You did not. Sack: Yes I did. Responder: Didn't. Sack: Yes I did. Responder: Didn't. Sack: Yes I did!! Responder: Look this isn't an argument. Sack: Yes it is. Responder: No it isn't, it's just contradiction. Sack: No it isn't. Responder: Yes it is. Sack: It is not. Responder: It is. You just contradicted me. Sack: No I didn't. Responder: Ooh, you did! Sack: No, no, no, no, no. Responder: You did, just then. Sack: No, nonsense! Responder: Oh, look this is futile. Sack: No it isn't. Responder: I came here for a good argument. Sack: No you didn't, you came here for an argument. Responder: Well, an argument's not the same as contradiction. Sack: It can be. Responder: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a definite proposition. Sack: No it isn't. Responder: Yes it is. It isn't just contradiction. Sack: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. Responder: But it isn't just saying "No it isn't". Sack: Yes it is. Responder: No it isn't, an argument is an intellectual process... contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says. Sack: No it isn't. Responder: Yes it is. Sack: Not at all. Responder: Now look! Sack: Thank you, good morning. Responder: What? Sack: That's it. Good morning. Responder: But I was just getting interested. Sound familiar? Jax is pathologic. He is damaged and will never be right in his mind. He is pathetic, in the true sense of the term. That is easily determined in moments. So, the real question is......What excuse do the rest of y'all have for responding to him? -- "Florida Keyz" wrote in message ... | Gosh jax, you really are consistent in making yourself apear such a stupid | jerk! | | |
