My favourite quote, ITT.
I read the title of this thread as "truth thread MUST DIE". That would be a thread I could get behind.
The truth is inconceivable. There can be no comprehension without perception, and all perception is subjective. Even if everyone agrees that a proven fact is in fact the truth, it is only the truth as understood within the limits of our collective ability to perceive it at the time that it is declared the truth.
"the truth will outshine all lies"
it's a really good disguise.
some truthes are absolut...but are they. is ower perseption of reality the truth...but than again what is truth...
It's true that >>8's spelling and grammar are horrible.
truth is a substance of pure malubility and is based solely on the
perspective of a idividual or idividuals.
truths can be supprested or lost, people can also lie,within a second abandoning the "real" truth to imbrase a truth that other would beleive indefinately, if the "real" truth was never revealed.The phrase "with a pintch of salt" can be applied to anything i heard i take it at face value and wait for various accounts before commiting to it, but even then later the truth i have invested my validity to is reduced to nothing.
that is the truth and why the truth is dead
--me
(sorry my spelling is off)
and im not as bleak as that rant indicates.
Apparently truth is only interesting to people who can't write a coherent sentence of English.
>>13
Maybe thats because only incopetent writers know teh TRUTH.
or the fact that i dont have the time to run every little thing i write thro a spell-checker.Grammer isn't the topic of discussion
>>16
Oh yes it is now. You could at least spell "Grammar" correctly too while you are at it. I wonder what the spelling of the users of your forums are like, yknow the one you keep sticking in the link field?
lol
Okay, that's enough of the harsh truth for tonight, boys.
A lie can run around the world before the truth has got its boots on.
The truth shall make ye fred.
Nobody runs everything they write through a spellchecker. Instead, they learn how to spell. If you don't care enough about what you want to say to say it in proper English, why should we care about it?
