OK, another point, just popped up again.
I said that if I wanted to, I could say that 1+1 no longer was equal to 2, but infact, in my opinion, 1+1=3.
In my opinion, I'm correct. In popular opinion (i.e. everyone who believes 1+1=2), I'm wrong.
Yep, fair play. In your opinion, dividing 12 by 2 is 7.Originally posted by Rat Faced@21 February 2004 - 21:29
well, i would go along with that....as i can demonstrate that dividing 12 by 2, does in fact equal 7.
On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

Again a matter of convention, not opinion, see my last post.
Would I be totally wrong if I took from that statement that if the entire world decided that 1+1 was really equal to 3, then 1+1=3?Originally posted by Agrajag@21 February 2004 - 21:38

Broken
XII is 12
Put a horizontal line through the middle (ie divide by 2)
Top half is VII ..........ie 7

Absolutely as long as you accepted that it was just a series of symbols to represent the concept that if you add one apple to another apple you have twice as many apples.
(This goes for everything and not just apples, for clarification)

As a backdrop, in Greek mythology when someone became pregnant (likely due to infidelity) they would claim that Zeus or some other God came down in the form of Golden Rain and seduced them.
I think Mary may have been taking lessons from them.
Your saying Jesus may have been a Bastard...

We have 4 options:
1) God did it
2) Mary cheated and Jesus is a bastard
3) Mary is a chimera who under went parthenogenesis
4) Mary and Joseph were pulling a fast one.
Aren't we in the trust tree, thingey?

Any person blind in one eye can only see in 2d. It does not alter their perception of things except distance.Originally posted by Agrajag@21 February 2004 - 21:48
I have a friend who, because of an eye / brain condition sees in 2D. This is not a joke. The world he sees is 2 dimensional, is his reality any less valid than those of us who see it in 3D, not to him.
I am deaf in one ear. It means I have no sound directional sense. I often have to ask where is that sound coming from.
As for immaculate conception. Would cloning not 'almost' fit the concept?

He is not blind in either eye boab, he has a condition which causes the eyes not to work together properly for some reason (which I don't understand) and as such has no depth of vision. His world, of sight, is 2 dimensional.
Before humans, did 1+1=2?
