Perhaps we're not using the same definition of reason. To make sure we're on the same page, http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/reason%5Bverb%5D?show=0&t=1335912370

I'm 100% sure we aren't.

You (I think): "People have to reason to make any kind of idea."

Me: "People think they are being sooo smart but really they're just dumb and stuff."

So, in that respect we are both right? Now we just have to figure out who is MORE right, and that person obviously gets life-points (a registered trademark of buffalo rock).
Well, my gynecologist committed suicide...

Please apply science and then talk.

Not sure what you are getting at, since we are (were?) arguing entirely different points.

I think the point is "let's either get on the same topic (preferably one that can be discussed rationally), or let's stop talking about this."

Ah, I see.

Well, from where I'm standing the misunderstanding is fairly obvious (we're using entirely different definitions of the word reason), and I don't disagree with Nigel's premise.

So nuff' said, I guess?

To be honest I'm more interested in how Dok's original story is going than in this weird-ass argument(s).

Which definition are you using?
