J2k4,
The way you express yourself is sometimes hard for me to understand. I don't doubt your intelligence, in fact, I am trying to use it to my advantage and learn something.
As this is a forum, the key is communication with others, most not having the same experience or training that you or I do. Knowing this, I alter my language so that the average person can access it.
It is not the words I have trouble with but your lexicon is that of someone who has studied philosophy or psychology.
Expressing yourself using specialized terms makes posting more efficient for you, but loses the common person. You had one line about "the ambient conditions, frequency and impetus re-enforcing the imperative", which I understand but damn, it hurts to read that stuff.
I like analogies, imperfect as they are.
Anyway, keep posting, but stop giving me icecream headaches.
Two points for you:
1) You stated that you can live with disagreements and enjoy the give and take. That is the golden nugget everyone should take away from all this. Sometimes the best learning comes when we are forced to logically explain our points of view. It is not about "winning" an exchange with another poster, but about what you can learn from it.
2) Just to clarify, I don't follow the 10 commandments to cover my ass, I remove the diety from religions and look at them as philosophy. I behave as I see is proper, I do not behave a certain way just in case a certain religion turns out to be right.
Insanebassman,
1) I shudder at the thought of being called a cynic. I am a skeptic. Huge difference.
2) I don't wallow, I wade.
3) I have certain "perspectives" based on experience, not preconceptions.
Overall, If you could flesh ourt your post a little, then maybe I can clarify myself. Your response is a little vague so I don't know where to start. But, then again, you are "insane".
