Even so, look at the other My_Name_Looks_Like_This writers. This at least has one image with meaning i.e. white silk/purity. How many others of the 15 year old My_Name_Looks_Like_This writers even come close to writing something that isn't a pimple marked free verse? <3 Jason

You misused "You misused 'whence.'" I did it on purpose. The "to" however, is accidental.

Right now you're in the transitional phase between Judaism and Christianity. Keep reading the Bible, and keep praying. You'll get there in the end, and when you do you'll know what it means to be at One with Jesus. Thank you and God Bless.

If you don't pray to St. Joseph, will he neglect to guide us through this time of transition?

Do you agree that the alphabetical method I outlined above could be used to extract any information you wanted from Liar-Confusers, and similarly (with the obvious minor adjustment) from Truthteller-Confusers?
Re: a comment on No Worries by Dovina	-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 81.153.196.50	3-Apr-05/8:19 AM
I did not mean *YOU* had confused negative correlation with 0 correlation. I meant that anyone who satisfies your definition of 'closed minded' has clearly confused negative correlation with 0 correlation. How can there be any question about whether or not that's a bad thing to do? "Your hypothetical race of Liars could not communicate with each other in the practicalities of ordinary life because of the cumbersome nature of the process. By the time you extract from your man what he had for breakfast, it would be lunch time or dinner time and purpose for asking would have passed." Where in Sodomy do you get the idea that I thought adopting a stance of deliberately deceptive lying was a convenient way to communicate? You asked me how Liars would communicate, so I thought of a way. The method works not only for friendly Liars, but also for Liars who actively do not want you to know the truth.

"You did not address my first paragraph." This is the original -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. who posted the comment in question. I asked you to "Read it again" because I thought you had either overlooked it, or merely read the original version. It was not an attempt at trumping you.
Re: a comment on No Worries by Dovina	-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 82.39.21.223	3-Apr-05/7:05 AM
You may imagine another race of Liar-Confusers, who a) Only ever tell falsehoods, b) Try to confuse you. You may also imagine another race of Truthteller-Confusers, who a) Only ever tell truthhoods, b) Try to confuse you. Neither race has any advantage over the other in terms of the confusion they can produce. If you can't see that, you deserve to be plucked.
Re: a comment on The Symbol by Dovina	Dovina 12.72.6.93	3-Apr-05/7:05 AM
Yes, why don't you comment on one of my recent poems on which I received no comments. I feel neglected.
Re: a comment on The Symbol by Dovina	Dovina 12.72.6.93	3-Apr-05/7:03 AM
You. I know it sounds unbelievable.
Re: a comment on No Worries by Dovina	-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 82.39.21.223	3-Apr-05/7:02 AM
You fail to address my paragraphs all the time, either because you didn't like them or because your brains are made of Cottage-cheese. Liars: Read this carefully, because even though it's absurdly simple, you will have the greatest of difficulty absorbing it. LIARS TELL FALSEHOODS. NOT MISLEADINGHOODS, NOT CONFUSIONHOODS. FALSEHOODS. APART FROM THAT, THEY ARE THE SAME AS TRUTH-TELLERS. THEY ARE JUST AS HELPFUL. THEY ARE JUST AS FORTHCOMING. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY ONLY EVER SAY FALSE THINGS. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WILL ALWAYS SAY THE NEGATION OF WHAT THEY WANT TO COMMUNICATE. Do you understand what a negation is? Do you understand how a race of liars could easily communicate, by simply saying the negation of whatever they wanted to say? "I'm not going to the shops now." "My favourite colour isn't blue." "You're not thick." Trying to explain anything to you is like trying to force a broom head-first into a cat's anus.

That's not what I actually said, and your exaggeration is wrong.

Double-dim: Your description of closed-minded people omits the crucial feature of them, which is that they refuse to consider CONTENT that conflicts with what they already believe. You've never understood anything properly in your entire life, have you?

You did not address my first paragraph. I assume you did not because it destroys your argument that I had not read your previous comment correctly. That comment was an attempt to deceive me into thinking I had overlooked something that I did not overlook. It displays the kind of argument I can expect in the other matters we are discussing. At least we agree that truth can come from an unreliable source. I have not confused 0 correlation and negative correlation. I don’t agree that correlation is the issue. The perception of unlikeliness of truth coming from the “unreliable” source is the basis of closed mindedness. Any real correlation is difficult if not impossible to determine. Your hypothetical race of Liars could not communicate with each other in the practicalities of ordinary life because of the cumbersome nature of the process. By the time you extract from your man what he had for breakfast, it would be lunch time or dinner time and purpose for asking would have passed.
