Is there anything skeptics can't reduce

[Dr Adequate]

Lies?

What lies?

Well, to be precise, you are either insane or a liar.

When you claim to be a skeptic and then babble out lunatic trash, there are, so far as I can see, only two alternatives:

(1) You genuinely believe the drivel which you spew out, and you sincerely believe that you are a skeptic. In that case, you are a pitiful lunatic.

(2) You are claiming to be a skeptic in order to insert your halfwitted drivel into the mouths of skeptics when you know perfectly well that they would choke on the disgusting taste of your filth. In that case, you are a disgusting liar.

The second alternative is in fact true, as witness your general whining about skeptics. But if you wish to maintain your pretence that you are insane, then please feel free to humiliate yourself further in front of an audience that knows that your stupid gibble has nothing to do with skepticism.

 

[ruach1]

So then...

What's a "tosser"? Is that Britishese?

It sounds like what we call in the States a, "Jack" "ass."

jackass for short.

Huntster is kidding around, and that may be annoying to some--really annoying to others--especially when one thinks a serious matter is at hand. But jackass...? I wouldn't go so far.
---------------------------------------------
But back to the point...

If "everything" can be reduced

(water is/isn't wet--ionized protons--uncertain quantum theory--evidence, evidence, evidence)

----------what then are we left with?

Beauty? Prove it.

Truth? Prove it.

Math? Cold as ice.

Whatever can be asserted can be reduced to what can figuratively be placed in a petri dish. Is this how a skeptic lives in this world? Seeing it as "made for petri dish"? Someone please tell me because I'm right on the edge here.

...Huntster is kidding around, and that may be annoying to some--really annoying to others--especially when one thinks a serious matter is at hand. But jackass...? I wouldn't go so far......

I know you wouldn't, ruach. You're a class act.

Yeah, I'm goofing off (I earlier called it "screwing around", but some didn't like that, either).

They can call me a jackass. They can call me insane. They can call me Ray, or they can call me Jay. I really don't care much.

Why? Because, as you might be able to surmise, what they think doesn't much matter to me.

I'm just having a little fun!

The fact of the matter is that I am skeptical.......of humanity. I'm here trying to learn why stuffy folks who think they know more than everybody else behave the way they do.

I'm learning that so-called skeptics are no different than any of the other losers in man's history of ideology. This fad won't even last as long as communism.

But it sure is interesting to interact with you. I am learning, I think.

What good that will do, I don't know.

As far as being a card-carrying "skeptic"? No, I don't qualify.

As far as being skeptical about many things? You bet I am.

For example, I can hardly believe that people like you exist.

 

[Dr Adequate]

So then...

What's a "tosser"? Is that Britishese?

Apparently. I never really know what is British usage until I notice that Americans don't understand it.

Well, it's your OP.

That didn't mean anything. "Seeing the world as made for petri dish"? I can't even guess at what vile twisted and distorted lie about skepticism you are trying to recite.

English insult.

Implies that the person masturbates excessively. Also see Wanker.

In the eye of the beholder.

Truth? Prove it.

Is subjective

Math? Cold as ice.

2+2=5 *shrug*

Being skeptical does not mean that you can't appreciate the complexity of things. It doesn't mean you can't find something beautiful/pleasant/enjoyable/etc You just realize that there is underlying biology.

 

[Dr Adequate]

For example, I can hardly believe that people like you exist.

Demonstrating your deep disconection from reality. I, on the other hand, understand why your type exists perfectly well.

 

[Dr Adequate]

The fact of the matter is that I am skeptical.......of humanity. I'm here trying to learn why stuffy folks who think they know more than everybody else behave the way they do.

Of course, instead of whining out this putrid drivel, you could point to one person who has claimed that they "know more than anybody else". Well, you could if this wasn't another of your crazy lies.

I'm learning that so-called skeptics are no different than any of the other losers in man's history of ideology. This fad won't even last as long as communism.

Ah, yes, the last refuge of the believer in aliens making crop circles or the believer in homeopathy or the believer in the Loch Ness Monster ... fantasize about how one day in the future people will think you're right.

Pathetic. Yet funny.

 

[Dr Adequate]

Curious, isn't it? On the one hand, the skeptics say what they think. And on the other hand, the woowoos lie and lie and lie to skeptics, about what skeptics think. On, and this is the stupidest thing, on the same thread where skeptics say what they think. So that everyone can see that he's bleating out halfwitted lies.

It's so incredibly stupid. What is the point of lying to me about my own opinions?

If Huntster puked up this sewage on RaptureReady, I'm sure he'd find his vile lies much appreciated. But he wants to vomit up this filth in the presence of skeptics, who will inevitably ridicule him as a liar and a buffoon, because, after all, skeptics know what they think and are therefore aware that he is a filthy liar.

But this raises a further question. If he is so drivellingly stupid as to expose himself again and again as a halfwitted liar, might he not be retarded enough to actually believe what he says?

Someone that stupid in principle would deserve my pity. But in practice, he is so loathsome that he will find it withheld. A pathetic monomania need not be repulsive, after all. The lunatic has a choice, still.

 

[Huntster]

Demonstrating your deep disconection from reality.......

In other words, since I am so deeply disconnected from reality, I cannot be real?

Can I exist?

...I, on the other hand, understand why your type exists perfectly well....

Why?

And, for the record, explain what type I am........

Claimed?

How about behaved?

...Ah, yes, the last refuge of the believer in aliens making crop circles or the believer in homeopathy or the believer in the Loch Ness Monster ... fantasize about how one day in the future people will think you're right.

I do not believe in alien crop circles, I have limited trust in homeopathy, and I have great doubt in the Loch Ness Monster.

I do, however, have no doubt that people like you are full of themselves, and don't know any more than Brad, who lives down the road.

I don't fantasize about myself, the future, or the past. My life has been full. I have no use, need, or desire for fantasies.

In fact, fantasies get in the way.

...Pathetic. Yet funny....

So, are you laughing..............

 

[Huntster]

Curious, isn't it? On the one hand, the skeptics say what they think. And on the other hand, the woowoos lie and lie and lie to skeptics, about what skeptics think. ....

So, are you claiming that skeptics don't lie and lie and lie to believers about what believers think?

Isn't one turn good for another?

Aren't "turns" inevitable?

Do you really control "the steering wheel"?

.......On, and this is the stupidest thing, on the same thread where skeptics say what they think. So that everyone can see that he's bleating out halfwitted lies........

I admitted I was playing the advocate. I was "screwing around".

What's the matter; can't take a poke?

You're a real "bad" mo-fo, aren't you?

...If Huntster puked up this sewage on RaptureReady, I'm sure he'd find his vile lies much appreciated....

Now, what's "RaptureReady"?

I suppose they're "the enemy".

I 'spect they "ain't" too 'fraid.

...But he wants to vomit up this filth in the presence of skeptics, who will inevitably ridicule him as a liar and a buffoon, because, after all, skeptics know what they think and are therefore aware that he is a filthy liar....

"skeptics know what they think....."

What a bunch of bullspit.

Do you actually think "the other folks" don't know what they think?

What an idiot.........

.....But this raises a further question. If he is so drivellingly stupid as to expose himself again and again as a halfwitted liar, might he not be retarded enough to actually believe what he says?......

Nope.

I'm not so full of myself as to imagine that my memory will last much over a generation.

You?

Everybody has to learn for him/her self. What I say (and what you say) is all bullspit.

Any skeptic who isn't a sheep would have to admit that.

...Someone that stupid in principle would deserve my pity. But in practice, he is so loathsome that he will find it withheld....

I don't need or want your pity. I'm fine. Happy. Content. Having fun.

You?

...The lunatic has a choice, still...

Damned right I do. And you ain't big enough to take it away, either.

Even God is wise enough to give all their choice.

I choose to be exactly opposite of you.

And I consider that to be a wise choice.

 

[Taffer]

Beauty? Prove it.

Truth? Prove it.

Math? Cold as ice.

As already pointed out, beauty is subjective and truth is unobtainable (epistemology, another matter entirely). I know people who find aspects of mathematics to be beautiful, not cold at all.

 

[Taffer]

The fact of the matter is that I am skeptical.......of humanity. I'm here trying to learn why stuffy folks who think they know more than everybody else behave the way they do.

I find this interesting, Hunster. Why is it that you think skeptics are "full of themselves"? I'm a skeptic, and I like to think I'm certainly not. I've met plenty of religious people who I'd consider quite full of themselves. Just because skeptics ask for evidence for does not make, in my mind, one "full of themself". I totally fail to see how "skepticism is a fad that won't even last as long as communism", especially since skepticism has its roots in the ancients.

I'd like to hear what it is that makes 'us' "full of ourselves".

 

[Dr Adequate]

It's fun watching Huntster's gibberish of lies degenerate into pure gibberish.

 

[Dr Adequate]

I find this interesting, Hunster. Why is it that you think skeptics are "full of themselves"? I'm a skeptic, and I like to think I'm certainly not.

But remember, your opinion as to what your opinion is is a "bunch of bullspit".

"skeptics know what they think....."

What a bunch of bullspit.

Huntster, and Huntster alone, will tell you what you think. He's special like that ... well, him and other pathetic idiots taking refuge in a halfwitted fantasy world. Not all that special then.

 

[Dr Adequate]

So, are you claiming that skeptics don't lie and lie and lie to believers about what believers think?

Yes. Disgusting, degraded lunatics babbling out putrid nonsense do that. Skeptics do not. It's one of the ways you can tell between them.

Do you actually think "the other folks" don't know what they think?

What an idiot.........

Could I point out that other people can read my posts?

This means that if you drool out halfwitted lies about my opinions, everyone will be able to see that you are a halfwitted liar.

I don't see anything else in your trash coherent enough to comment on. Some of the drivel seems to be written in a private language of your own, like the gibberish about steering wheels.

 

[Huntster]

I find this interesting, Hunster. Why is it that you think skeptics are "full of themselves"? I'm a skeptic, and I like to think I'm certainly not.

I suppose it's a very undeserved feeling of superiority:

How's that for "evidence"?

I do not speak for the good doctor. Only myself. I ask you again. I am a skeptic, so why am I "full of myself"?

All you need to know about Huntster (i.e. that he's a pratt) is contained in his sig.
