marieltrokan Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The problem with this issue, is the idea that to oppose contradiction is to oppose reality's ability to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 What do you mean by "oppose contradiction"? Do you just mean discussing different points of view? And what does this have to do with "reality's ability to exist"? Reality exists and there isn't much we can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marieltrokan Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 No. I mean that because people use contradiction as a source of criticism, I'm asking if contradiction is wrong to be opposed if reality can't exist without it. If contradiction is a source of criticism, meaning it can be opposed, but reality needs contradiction, where does that leave the life forms that need reality? If the Middle East should never be ended because of Lindsay Lohan, that then means no country should ever be ended because of anyone shouldn't it? Or would you disagree?

Strange Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 No. I mean that because people use contradiction as a source of criticism Not all criticism is contradiction. There is such a thing as constructive criticism. I'm asking if contradiction is wrong to be opposed if reality can't exist without it. What makes you think that reality cannot exist without it? If the Middle East should never be ended because of Lindsay Lohan, that then means no country should ever be ended because of anyone shouldn't it? Or would you disagree? Colourless green sheep dream furiously while waiting for Godot. Tremble before the mercury of solidarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marieltrokan Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 If reality is existence of economy (graded and downgraded by the IMF), and a status-economy needs hierarchy, but people oppose hierarchy, isn't that reality needing contradiction to exist? I'm of the position that life having meaning has to mean that no nations should be because of any life form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimreepr Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Because you're not making sense. No. I mean that because people use contradiction as a source of criticism, I'm asking if contradiction is wrong to be opposed if reality can't exist without it. Reality is real, whatever you may think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Why is that? Because your posts are incoherent nonsense. That doesn't mean the ideas are wrong; it means there are no ideas, just random strings of words with no semantic content. Maybe you should try Google translate. If you are already using Google translate, then maybe you need to learn to write in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marieltrokan Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I know reality is real - I'm asking if it's right that a nation be ended because of a life form if it's right that the Middle East shouldn't be ended because of Lindsay Lohan.

In what language does that sentence make any sense at all? What possible connection is there between the Middle East and Lindsay Lohan? How is supposed to end the Middle East? And what does it mean to to "end the Middle East"? Make it disappear? Are you expecting an actress to destroy a continent? "When you reply, try to make as much sense as possible."

Strange Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I think that the United Nations should say that all life forms on Earth be individually known as the Universe. 0. Congratulations on writing a grammatically correct and (sort of) meaningful sentence. 1. It is complete non-sequitur; why don't you try and explain what you wrote before? 2. This appears to have nothing to do with the thread. (but then, neither does Lindsay Lohan.) 3. Also, you may not have noticed, but the universe is much more than life on Earth. Much more than Earth, in fact. 4. What effect do you expect such a statement to have? Why do you think the UN has that sort of power?
