If only those damn eye-racki communists were as wise as you. I think you have singlehandedly found a solution for world peace! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Anyway, what's all this BS about "oh America, haven't you suffered enough"? Have you forgotten that America is the wealthiest, most powerful, most priveleged country on the planet? USA! USA!

Yes. Yes. Peasants are important too, aren't they?
This is socialism: "Look at those people. They're wealthy and splendid. They have butlers. Look at me. I have straw in my hair and dung in my slippers. I've got a great idea! Let's make everyone's life as shitty as mine! Then at least it's fair!"
Nice one!!

What are you asking when you say "Would we appreciate it if it weren't?"? Is your counterfactual de re or de dicto? Is "life" a rigid designator; i.e. does it designate the same thing in every possible world or not?
Consider "It's possible that the president isn't George Bush". Taken de dicto, i.e. by looking through all possible worlds and examining whoever happens to be the president in each world, the sentence is clearly true, since there are possible worlds in which Al Gore is president. But taken de re, i.e. by evaluating X in each world, where X is the counterpart of the president-in-this-world, i.e. the counterpart of George Bush, it's false, since X is in every case George Bush, and it's false in every possible world that George Bush isn't George Bush. (Of course, there are worlds in which George Bush has no counterpart).
I don't really know whether "life" rigidly designates or not. On the one hand, it seems absurd to say that it doesn't, because it's not as if something can just "happen" to be life like someone can just happen to be President. On the other hand, if we say it is a rigid designator, it seems hard to say _how_. Names are rigid designators; so typically are indexicals. But "life" is neither a name nor an indexical. It seems more likely that "life" is a 'shortcut' for a definite description, which would typically mean it isn't a rigid designator.
What do you think?

Also, though my detractor's detractor is my contractor (or something), this is a crap 'dig' at Blade. If you can't think of anything to say but "LOL BLADE IS A TEENAGER LOL LOL", fermez la bouche.

Substituting:
Let NOTHING mean 0
Let SOMETHING mean any positive number x
Let EVERYTHING mean infinity <><>
Let GOD mean infinity
Let LIGHT mean ENERGY
Let ENERGY be the unit joules J
0/x * <><> = -<><> / (J/J)
0 * <><> = -<><> / 1
0 = -<><>
0 = <><>
Sorry old chap, but zero and infinity are sort of arch nemeses. It's good to see people are overcoming the limits of English to express their mind-expanding feelings, but get your fucking arithmetic straight. Fucker.
