Quote from:  Not that I'm going to read back and actually read all this again but from what I can recall nobody said it was.

Um, well, ECH did.

He didn't take to Zurtok's criticism of the OP's ever-so-deep questions, or Zurtok's reaction to trollax's nasty little rebuttal.  Or so it seems.

TGRR,
Bearer of inconvenient truths.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

Quote from: Zurtok Khan

First:  Your attempt to be mystical or enlightened is absurd.  Please, don't try again.  It will produce worse results next time you try it.

Second: you're asking US about angels and devils?  Why do we care about make believe creatures?

Third:  Why are you attempting to dabble in useless generalities.  There are many thought patterns that are learned, and there are many that you are born with.  Trying to make it an all or nothing proposition is absurd.

Sorry, Trollax.  I gotta go with Zurtok on this one.

You can do better.

Since when is seniority a criterion for rants?
It might be if people were getting paid to write them, but around here.....it's not.

Quote from: The seerIt has multiple ways of being asked. Bear in mind they are all the same question, not different. Let me repeat that: bear in mind that they are all the same question, not different. And again: bear in mind that they are all the same question, not different.

If angels can fall, may devils rise?
Are all patterns of thought inborn or learned?
If you believe you are right, then everything you say is right?
Can a lepoard change its spots?
Is there any redemption?
Is nobility defined or inborn?

There's actually two answers to this, but they are both the same answer: yo and nes.

Meh...

My mind's already pretty sore so it's not in the mood to be fucked again, but, good questions.

With most of these things, the question matters far more than the answer.

The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

I disagree.  Especially since you're demanding we accept your statement without proof.  For example, you could have taken the following six statements and shown their relationships to each other.  Lazy bastard.


QuoteIf angels can fall, may devils rise?
Please define your terms of "angel" and "devil".  It seems as if a causal relationship between the rising of one and the falling of the other is tenuous, at best.

QuoteAre all patterns of thought inborn or learned?
You appear to be excluding the middle term, not to mention using the sweeping generality of "all".  Naughty, naughty.

QuoteIf you believe you are right, then everything you say is right?
Putting aside the fact that this is a sentence fragment,  you appear to be conflating perspectives, and poorly defining the second half of your statement.

QuoteCan a lepoard change its spots?
Biologically, no.

QuoteIs there any redemption?
From what, exactly?

QuoteIs nobility defined or inborn?
You appear to be excluding the middle term.  Again.  Also, you need to define "nobility".



Hope this helps.  Next time, eschew obfuscation.
