Bonus: "God does not operate under the rules of logic and rationality--He is beyond them." Never, under any circumstances, attempt to explain just what the hell any of that means, because it really doesn't mean anything (that's the beauty of it). I can't actually explain what this means, ...

Wow. So many words. So little understanding. It's not satirical. I think it is a valid argument 1. You said you were not being satirical. You were presenting a valid argument. But when I actually responded, then you say you are not serious ("Bolded underlined portion clearly implies a lack of ...

Hmm I was wondering if there'd be some talk about this on Pweb. I didn't realize that Chic-fil-A was only a regional, southern franchise. It's surprising to hear about people who haven't heard about it... when I ate it almost every day my last school year. Lol. I'm not entirely sure if I'm gonna boy...

1. It's not satirical. I think it is a valid argument ...my opinion is that the difference between the two types of rational beings simply...doesn't matter. In fact, that's the cleverness of it. I've already recognized that the two are not the same 2. If the difference doesn't matter, then you can ...

CezeN

Cezen, In simple terms, then: The "Structure" of that proof is not clever. It is foolish. It needs to establish a false equivalency (something that I am growing tired of in both philosophy AND politics) in order to pick up any steam. If you FIND the false equivalency early on (as I have d...

CezeN

Cezen, 1. You're all over the place with this. You post it, then poke fun at it, then say, "No, but seriously...," then you claim it again...which is it? And you say things like, "At what point did I claim equivalence for those two entirely separate concepts? The actual point of the ...

CezeN

Cezen, your "proof" is horribly structured. You claim full equivalence for two entirely separate concepts: existence as a living being in the real world, and "existence" as a character in a piece of fiction. If you have to rely on that deceitful conceit in order to make your poi...

I brought this up like 2 years ago, but again All rational beings believe in their own existence, whether or not they actually exist. Harry Potter believes that he exists, but he is wrong. I believe I exist, hopefully I am right...God too believes in his own existence and his omniscience makes it i...

I'm relatively nonpartisan on the issue of gun control. Despite living in Texas, I've probably only shot a rifle/gun once when I was like 13 at a summer camp. Unless you want to count paintball... But, I ran across this Cracked.com article, and the last point... http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-4-mos...

Thanks for posting this. I'd never heard of these quality online courses before; now I can sleep easy knowing I'm actually learning things this last month or so of summer.

Hey, I just thought of something. The supposed apocalypse on December 21 this year (GMT?) might just be the moment of read-out, the end of the Magrathean computer program to find the Ultimate Question. Once the program ends and the Question is found, the Earth would... I'm not sure. I know that bec...

Today I'm thankful for Meebo Chat. The service I used for AIM. It's being assimilated and destroyed by Google in a couple hours, which prompted me to go back and talk to an old internet acquaintance and download my old chat logs, these past two days. After not using it for almost a year. And using i...

So, the season finale of the River was awesome! The whole show was great; it was like a shorter, sweeter, better version of Lost if Lost was from the angle of different people holding cameras. Not sure, maybe I think it was better because it was shorter. Seriously, if you made Lost about a river ins...

Should I read and/or watch Battle Royale? I almost borrowed the DVD from work but wasn't sure I was in the mood and passed on it. I haven't read it... well, not much of it. But I've seen it. It's definitely worth the watch. EDIT: Might be hard to follow though since you don't get the full backstory...

On a related note, I have now seen Tonks naked. So there's that. Oh my god, how did I not connect her as Tonks!? My mind is blown! Right? Completely blew my mind. In fact, pretty much every actor in there I've been like "I am 100% sure I've never seen this person before in my life," until...

CezeN

Yes.

And Game of Thrones should be your next show.

Seen her naked in-person?

Did you end up setting one up or what?
I've been trying, and made some progress, but the guy who has access to the "nerd club" mailing list has been sluggish about sending out an email.

Any updates on this? Did it go through?

CezeN

Uh... Just thought I'd put this out there that I'm assuming it's satirical, going by your little drowning man there. It's not satirical. I think it is a valid argument, though I don't actually believe that it works to prove God in any practical sense. And, I can think of a few refutations. Btw- I w...

Is anyone here keeping up with Fringe? I fell off about a year ago, but I'm about to catch up - since I just realized it has a new season that sounds damn awesome from the synopsis that I just read.

Also, has anyone else watched The River?

I finally saw the season finale of Game of Thrones. What can I say? Epic. Some feelings of inevitable doom at the very end. Minor Spoilers: The magic of the Warlocks was really unnerving. Walking from dungeon to ash/snow covered landscape to your dead husband and baby and back to a dungeon kinda cre...

Does anyone have any book suggestions for me? I have a week until my summer program is done. Afterwards, since I'm already in the learning mood, it'd be great to immediately jump into starting some summer reading. Usually I go for fictional, entertaining books - and I'd love those suggestions as wel...

I am going to continue the Frenchy way I say it: Say-zahn.

I like this pronunciation better than my way. I'm officially changing it. ('-' )

From here on out, my name is pronounced Say Zahn. So it was written, so it shall be done.

I've always pronounced it "Season." "Season" and "seize-in" sound the same in my Californian accent! What's the difference? haha No difference... I just kinda forgot about the word "season" when I tried to think of how to say my name phonetically. :roll: EDIT...

I've found that most 1L professors are like that, but most upper-level professors aren't. (I had an 1L professor who would shuffle through his index cards that had our names and pictures on them, pick one at random and call on him/her for the entire two hour class. Just luck of the draw, sometimes....

I have seen Suits ! I really like it, though I turn my brain off throughout most of the show so that I don't pick and pick at it. My job is... kind of unusual. I do very little law practicing, per se. I'll write amici briefs, sometimes, but I don't have to worry about billable hours or most courtro...

It's pronounced "Seize"-"in"
What.

Oh god I hate moments like this. BRAIN, REWIRE YOURSELF.

Lol how were you pronouncing it in your head?

Thumbs down: Case homework.
Thumbs up: Just successfully procrastinated it for like 30 minutes. Woot woot.

That is great Syphon. I hope I end up loving whatever law job I manage to get, too.

May I ask: What type of law are you doing? Are you working at a firm or a corporation or what?
Also, have you ever seen Suits? lol

Hey Cezen: how should I be pronouncing your username?

So... I missed this post by almost a year. Sorry. lol

I gotta admit that, secretly in my heart, I actually like that- Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe? song. And really, I hate that. It's not my usual tastes and is on the most trivial subject. But, even though I don't enjoy it on an higher cognitive level, m...

My heart starts(well, started) thumping when my law professor aggressively asks me questions, that I don't know, about a case. For 15 minutes. Me: Please. Oh PLEASE don't call on me. Professor: "So... Mr. CezeN, tell me about the case....Wrong....Wrong....Wrong..." For 15 minutes. Like, on...

Getting free cookies at subway. I jokingly pointed out to the cashier that the cookie I wanted looked broken. "So, can I get it for free", I asked.
"No!"

Then she gives them to me, on the house... I was just joking.

Made my day.
