Is contradiction meant to be opposed?

Featured Replies

The problem with this issue, is the idea that to oppose contradiction is to oppose reality's ability to exist.

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.

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?

Not all criticism is contradiction. There is such a thing as constructive criticism.

What makes you think that reality cannot exist without it?

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.

Because you're not making sense.

Reality is real, whatever you may think.

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.

Why is that?

Be Coherent

When you reply, try to make as much sense as possible. Organize your post into paragraphs or sections as to make it easier to understand. If nobody knows what you're saying, they aren't going to learn anything from it, or try to reply to it.

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?

Or, at least make some sort of sense.

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?

It's a famous cultural reference betwixt Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.
