No, I blame Rincewind for picking Janggut. He COULD haver picked me in order of preventing this problem, but he could just as well have picked anyone else... And I would have made a lousy ref anywhay...

... if the earth was flat, like it's supposed to be, we wouldn't have these silly problems! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

What! Are you trying to tell us the world ISN'T flat! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

You're not one of those crazy square-earthers are you??

I'm sure that all educated people know that it's actually a flat disk supported by a giant tortoise. BUT - if it wasn't a disk, then does anybody have a suggestion as to what shape might be useful?

I think a rectangle would be nice. If you got lost you could just drive until you got to one of the corners and re-orient yourself. And of course the rectangle should have lots of pockets down the sides, to keep all the crap that worlds seem to accumulate....

And some sort of outboard motor on one end. The current model seems to do nothing but totter slowly round and round the same old sun .... geez how tame is that..

And the new model would have an alarm bell right over Malaysia, to wake Janggut up... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Interesting... the world as a pool table... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

OI!!!! unauthorised arguments are not allowed!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

please read womble's sig for more details & explanation. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

right, thanks to rince! we of facial hairdo's never like hairdon'ts. & i personally blame everyone of u for not adjusting to malaysian time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> & never disobey your president (barta).

but first i would like to thank ..... . ok, so ends my speech.


******** ARGUMENTATIVE GIT *************
Topic: How Can You Tell That You Are Not An Argumentative Git. Provide proof & discount those that do. Be the argumentative git that u deny to be.

Am not! I am rubber, you are glue. Whatever you say... how's it go? It ryhmes if I say something. Uh, bounces off your morphic resonance field and hits the glue? Uh... Bounces off me, and sticks to some glue. You? A rock... Hey, you was right.
See, If I WAS one, I'd argue that I was one just for the point of aruging. But I'm not, and that is showing that I am? Not? One? Some? Yum...

Bloody topics.

Sorry, but I've worked in the area of intellectual disability for most of the last 12 years and I think Womble's sig is pretty sick.

I don't suppose he intends it to be insulting to handicapped people, but sadly it is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> I wish he'd change it...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />

kris, i think he meant (& i do too) it for those who don't have such disability as excuse to do certain things, such as pointless arguments. i think it's more of an insult to those who are not disabled, & yet acting as if they are. disability is a point of reference.

Sorry janggut, but I don't think that using people with any kind of disability as a 'reference point' in such a way is a thoughtful or decent thing to do. It's getting a cheap laugh at the expense of a group of people who have a very difficult path through life, through no fault of their own.

Perhaps I am more sensitive about that issue than most people, because of the work that I do. But I noticed a few weeks ago that one of the women who used to come to this forum posted a very angry response to Womble's sig. I don't think she ever came back afterwards either. Quite possibly he never saw her post, and didn't realise that it upset her.

Believe me, that sort of joke maybe meant 'harmlessly' but, like many casually made jokes, can be needlessly hurtful. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, I'll stop hijacking your discussion, and leave you to it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

geez i didn't realise that part, kris. i don't mean to downplay the repercussion of words. i have been a victim of such but that's not the point.

anyway, sorry if i hurt anybody's feeling.

..... actually this would be great for this thread. for discussion, i mean. but let's leave that to the winner later on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

1st argument

P: i'm arguing

P->-P (read P is logically equivalent to Not P) -|antilogy

end of argument.

2nd argument

Boole or Bertrand lord Russel would have agreed with the first argument if they were not so hopelessly dead.

end of argument

counter argument: yea i know what is metalanguage, why?

another counter argument: Boole that's not really clear but Russel knew also what was metalanguage and he knew what was category's theory.... so, maybe he wouldn't have agreed with the first argument after all... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

i have an headache!

Allright. I'll change it! Geez. You can't do anything without pissing someone off these days! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

It simply reminds me of my friend Faile. Who I don't think is returning to this forum either.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> I miss her...

Edit: I bet this one annoys people too. I'm fed up with jumping through hoops to appease everyone however.

Janggut, this is the most useless topic ever. We have argued abou old pepole and what to do with them, windows vs linux vs Mac, Music, Death sentence and commersials, all good and relevant subjects with both positive and negative things about them (even I, who is againts death sentence can see the positive thing about it). But now you have picked a subject, where we only can argument about one thing. Who isn't true, just to make it even better.
I am the first person to admit that I am an arguementing git, so telling you otherwise would be a lie, and I'm allso the first to admit that I'm not a liar... when it matters that is. I am allso not a hyppocrate, so for me to argue about something that is not true, is quite impossible.
Janggut, I whaited for this subject! I whanted sometghing usefull to argue about, and there is quite a lot of subjects. But from all subjects you could you picked just the subject I can't argue about. Great job. But since I'm so increddiblöy clever I found out how to get around this.
From now on I will argue WITH everybody else about their posts, and by that prove them wrong. And if I fail, I've got lot's of quotes to prove them wrong.

PS I'll start tonight... DS

I prefer Pepsi to Coca Cola.

Right... I prefer Fanta to Pepsi... And Coca Cola.

you know what, Womble? I have been so often annoyed by stuff you wrote - and more than often I could have hugged you for other stuff you wrote. I think, you're a real sweet grumpy dwarf (a relative of Otho - and I like that little guy a lot) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> You are the way you are, full of edges, sincere and... well, a dwarf! May I get you a sixpack of Rimmer's ale? Your humour is not always politically correct - so what? At least I know your statements are the way you see something (if I agree or not) - and I prefer straight talk to anything else. In any case you misunderstand => this is NOT a compliment but the way I see you.

Please... could you jump through a hoop? Just for me? Just once? So, I could hold my sides lauging over you cussing by tripping over and teaching me new words at the same time? Just once?

Kiya

And yeah - I miss Faile and her tattoos, her pics, her cat stories and - sometimes even her jokes that were not politically correct either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Who's Failie?

A very fine human being my dear Ubereil. A very fine human indeed.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

For you Kiya. Anything. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Consider the hoop jumped.

There's not too much on topic argueing... Might be the topic, what do I know?
