I'll hand you this: You're consistent and persistent. Maybe that's what you mean by burning a candle at both ends. Zodiac bounces from fuzzy logic to illogic and back so much it's dizzying.

Could be taken too many ways. What do you mean?

Punctuation: drop the semicolon, period after "ever do." Otherwise good.
on when i met sky alone by Prince of Void 30 Dec 2005, 1:10 PM
Line 2 is good.

If you wish to argue against Platonism, in favor of constructivism, you could do so civilly, as Brouwer and Heyting did, without calling anyone a moron, which seems like an illogical thing to do in a discussion of philosophy at this level. You could also listen to the question Alchemy asked, “I believe on God. I'm not sure why. Maybe you can give me some logical explanation for believing in God.” And you might have considered my tenuous answer, “Because 1 + 1 = 2” with its various implications, before spouting off like some bloated whale without provocation.

Take whatever position you want, but at least consider that a logical God might be discussable by non-morons.

I hate name-dropping, and here I’ve done it. That’s how far you’ve drug me down.

Do you mean, '"Dress me well for Karen," he said.'?

Because 1 + 1 = 2

Maybe a twentieth gage would show semicolon twitches. I hear one sounding wrong, even without turning the panel down.

I like surprises - Big Surprise - that's good.

Do you believe that numbers (whole numbers, integers) exist in the absence of intellegent beings? Or are they figments that we have developed to help us organize our world?

9) I think you'll see she is doing this.

So kind of you to impart true experience in marriage to our ramblings. Without it, we might have blundered on for ages.

When I say "Put into action," I imply a Putter. If you say the laws of nature came about naturally, which can only mean spontaneously in this context, you deny God's input, and that conflicts with your previously stated belief in God.
on As we lay by rahson_s 28 Dec 2005, 2:13 PM
It's like you wrote this quickly and sloppily - inconsistent capitals, unclear references, missing periods.

Well, what can a girl say when he's poured on the appearance of having swallowed his pride and told her she's the greatest? Oh, yes, she can say "Thank you, Dear, I knew you'd see it my way." And so I wish you a Happy New Year, which happens upon another complete revolution about the sun, following logical precepts, put into action long ago. Now off to work with you, and don't forget the milk.

I just checked. It's still there. Please do not delete it. Just change one of the titles. Thanks.

Well sister, your intentions are good and I'll help you. If you want to revise a poem, you can hit the "Edit" button. Make any changes you want to, ahd hit "Accept." When you posted another poem, similar to the first and having the same title, now that's original. You're doing fine, gal, hang in.

Little fairies may fly around my head and happy marriages may exist because, and only because, I perceive them. If you are saying that the same applies to logic as an integral part of the universe, then the honeymoon is over, and we must start throwing things at each other in the kitchen. Just rmember how dismally Ralph's insuations always ended up.
replying on Ennui by Sisterwolf 28 Dec 2005, 10:50 AM
Right you are. I've never seen anyone do that before - revise a poem, retain the title, leave the old one there. It's like a tax loophole, perfectly legal, but of questionable ethics. This sister wolf is alright. Anyway, she knows what I think of deleting comments.
