Its like the over protective mother who cannot accept that her precious son is a burglar, even tho the police caught him in the neighours house with a pillowcase full of loot, recorded on the home security video breaking in.ConfusedMan wrote:Oh no, I don't blame you for the digression. I know that originally you were just trying to correct ABC on his line of thought, but that seems to be a futile effort. I know I made an exception to my previous post, but I wanted to let you know that I don't think it's your fault.Audie wrote:Sorry to have torpedoed your thread.

Not that any of you don't have the right to debate, but at this point I think it is safe to say no one is going to convince the other. I actually have a few more critiques of ABC's reasoning, but I am not going to bother stating them because whenever I do, he just seems to say the same thing over again. I know you're really trying here Audie, but I think your words are being aimed towards an unalterable opinion, so maybe it's best if we move on. I won't be responding to any more posts on this topic unless I find something that is directly related to my original post, so if you have anything to say about this particular post here, don't bother, because I'm kind of weary of answering and asking the same questions. Thanks to all of the posters that actually contributed to the primary subject I posted. All of my love to you peeples! (You too Audie and abelcainsbrother)
I find that discussions often spread out like Nebraska's Platte River, a mile wide and an inch deep. Nobody can be shown to be right or wrong with a brief superficial visit to a topic. Aim for one obvious weak link, I say, and hit it.
If the other still insists that blue is white, that 1 and 1 is 3, shows themselves as incapable of admitting even the tiniest and most obvious error, then, why go on?
Watch for what ABC does. I dont expect an epiphany, but for a couple of people here who may think his idea has possible merit, I have this exchange to point to.
If someone does not have enough sense to see that polar ice cant survive being floated about, they are out beyond the orbit of Pluto somewhere, and past human communication anyway.
I think for some people, to admit even the tiniest error in their thinking is would be like making a tiny hole in a balloon. They instinctively know what would happen to their whole construct of reality if even one bit of the seamless whole were threatened.
So far we've had a fair bit of blatant falsehood and nonsense from ABC, trying to keep his ice from floating. I wonder if he is running out of them, or is just going to recycle.
There may be a breaking point for even the most dedicated to their fantasies.
Lets see if he runs, makes more excuses, or what.
