Yes, REASONABLE and critical discussion. Contradictions in my arguments. I am LOOKING for the flaws, I want to see where they exist. I'm not here to convince people. If I wanted to convince people, i would start a blog. I want conflicting ideas, not passive agressive social tactics designed to get more people here to like you.
Do you actually think you personally have an argument? Do you? I think your fronting, bluffing.
I have a hard time believing, Curnir, that you have actually thought any of this through, either recently or in the past.

The world/universe/reality is made up of
1.True (real)
2.False (not real)
0.Mysterious
This is your take on things right?
My take is that the world/universe/reality is made up of
1a. Real, that has been proven to be real.
1b. Real, that has yet to be proven to be real, can be made real using the building blocks.
And if it's belongs to group 1b. and some cool PhD found out about it and wanted to transfer it to group 1a. he would still have to come up with a controlled doubleblind test to prove that it was indeed REAL.
things that are Not Real are *drum roll* NOT REAL.
Another field you seem to have been into is human interaction and statements.
Here I would describe it as a scale or probability ranging from 1True and 0False.
Hmm sounds fuzzy.
A gangmember theatening to kill me? Wow... what can I say.
What type of gang?
From what general area?
Is it part of their conversational style to threaten each other?
And a whole slew of other questions needs to be answered before I can make an estimation of how probable it is that he/she will actually kill me.
Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau threatening to kill me? I don't know if there is a REAL person known as Chief Inspector Jacques Clouseau.
Well IF there is, I'd say that the probability of him killing me would be pretty slim, since I don't live in the french speaking provinces.
A guy claiming he can fly.
Given what we know about reality, Id' say that the probability of this guys claim is pretty much non existant. Of course I can't know for sure until I've seen him demonstrate his power. But it would be intelectaully dishonest of me to lable his claim as "Mysterious".
And it would be even worse to start trying to explain HOW his powers work (QM etc) before he has conclusively show that he can do what he claim he can do.
Now, how would you rate the following statements:
I like ice cream.
I like shrimps.
I live in the US.
I live in Canada.
I am a Confirmed Christian.
