Guys... just step away from the abyss, if you would?

Do they live near Fleetwood?

[JimC]

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring back at you...

[pErvinalia]

What would Socrates be doing today if he was alive?

Scratching at his coffin....

You're right however in saying that I don't think I'm a total fuckwit, I know I'm not a fuckwit at all. You? Not so much.

Thanks for demonstrating my point so beautifully. What I know is that we're all fuckwits to one degree or another.

What you think you know and what you actually know are not congruent. But I can accept your argument because I have done some really fuckwitted things...like proposing to a woman who suffers from borderline personality disorder as the LEAST of her mental issues.

Picked up a guy at the airport yesterday and I mentioned that I was moving because I don't need and can't afford the big house since the fiancee left, and he immediately asked if she had BPD. His girl had it too. Got him arrested on false charges just like my ex tried to do. He actually went to jail, but fought it at trial and won. He recommended me to a website, "Gettinbetter.com" as I recall. Gotta take a look at it soon.

What you think you know and what you actually know are not congruent.

You should spend 20 years studying that statement and its implications, and then you might have some measure of intelligence.

I've actually spent about 40 years doing so, which is why I'm so good at showing you what you don't know.

[hackenslash]

It doesn't show. Only goes to show, that word 'might' was well placed.

[Brian Peacock]

Zing! Someone call the burns unit. Hackenslash is on fire!

I should have said "that's why I'm so good at showing others what you don't know." My bad.

[Stein]

It just takes a long time if you're clever though.

Nothing to do with being clever, or you'd have been out on your ear in about 12 seconds. It's to do with weight of evidence.

Oh, and I suppose you know all about evidence, blatant woo-swilling myther that you are.

[Stein]

Our modus operandi goes all the way back to Socrates. That's why it's so effective.

Errr, no. The attitude toward the modus operandi of the ancients is precisely the difference between us, as can readily be seen by your idiotic argumentum ad antiquetatem. Of course, the other difference is that you think you aren't a total fuckwit, while I know better about both of us.

And that's setting aside the fact that it's extremely doubtful that Socrates even existed.

Oh, for crying out loud. More quack history, as ignoramuses like Hack follow convenient fads simply because they make them feel warm and fuzzy. That's the OPPOSITE of skeptic, pal, and it's high time you knew that.

Stein

[piscator]

Not a lot of support for your sniveling asseverations there, Stein. So man up and show us the real history, or go post someplace where baseless assertions count for something.

In my tackling with a myther like Hack, are you now asking that I provide

1) the secular professionals' take on Socrates,

2) or on Jesus the rabbi,

3) or on ancient history as a whole?

You're not clear.
