Well you yourself, and the rest of you for that matter decide to be Asshole and call me Insane. That Post from this morning had nothing to do about the Truth. It was something I feel, not anything related to the Truth. I was just trying to tell The Kakama that I don't think that way.

I don't believe anyone said that.
I apologize for offending you. You'll have to excuse my frustration with your unwillingness to discuss your philosophies with us. We were genuinely curious.

It is probably best that we abandon this line of discussion, as it would appear that we have arrived at the conclusion that World is too busy living in his own little world (hah), and isn't willing to come down to Earth and be level with us little plebeians. The only place this conversation can really go from here is "you're dumb" and "no you're dumb".

Any ideas? I got nothing.
How bout a "F***" and a "You".

Asshole. That what you looking for, Asshole?

Nobody called you insane but yourself. We'd honestly like to know what you actually mean when you talk about the inner machinations of your mind. It is truly frustrating to hear you go "oh ye of little vision", especially immediately after you say how you think you are our equal and do not patronize. The black hole surely wasn't your only board, mention others, don't just give up.

@ World:
May I kindly recommend you read that "How to become an adult" book your parents gave you?
I would also like to recommend some books about communication skills and argumentation. These would help you to get your point across without offending other people.

Okay World, you probably don't remember what I said when we first met (here), but it still applies. Nobody's against you! Nobody, really, you're accepted here! I'm pretty sure you won't see the word "insane" coming out of our keyboards. And if you see it, you're on your right to defend yourself. But if not, why starting a fight?

But the thing is, I've seen many people claim to have the truth (in TV for example), and then either get caught (like Uri Geller by Randi), or confess it was all a lie. They deceived thousands of people, and for those who were skeptics they used to say that they had to open their minds ot the truth. But there wasn't any truth. It was all an elaborate lie.

Now, how can we know if you're not lying too? Huh?

We can't know for sure, since it's the Internet and we don't know you in real life, but there's a thing you can do to gain our trust: the more things you explain about it, about the truth you see, the more likely that we will be able to understand your position! So don't give up in your first try, you say you failed this time, but why not taking another chance? And remember, you should answer, what makes you be different from all the others who lied on TV? Once you answer that, the rest is easy :D

No I do not, That is one of the thing that allows me to know THE truth. I see everyone has better aspect into certain subjects, but we are all equal anyway.

Trust me, I avoid that kind of thinking. It what lead the people of Germany to cause the Holocaust, simply cause they see them self better. I respect everyone on this Forum. You talking or reading this Forum shows to me that you take intelligent very seriously. I respect someone who uses every aspect their mind can achieve. It show that you don't waste your potential. If I see myself more superior to all of you, I would storm out of this Forum on a more daily basis if someone did not see my point in a matter.

You open to your opinion, I respect that, I won't see you any more less than what you are because of that
Sorry for misunderstanding.

Okay, let's try it this this way:
You are looking for a truth, ok? Then, while you search, you find there are certain possibilities that can be ruled out, because they are highly unlikely, and are more likely to be wrong. So the proper thing to do is rule out these possibilities, and while you have less choices to choose from, you are more likely to find your truth in what possibilities you have left.
Remember, you start out with ALL possibilities (leaving NOTHING to assumptions, anything is possible AT FIRST), then you rule out those that don't add up.

The last thing you want to do is keep the impossible possibilities. Then you will end up like you started, going nowhere.
Is this my final form?
