In Reply to: I didn't mean to, nor do I think I did, insult you.... posted by WingPrayer on September 08, 2000 at 12:01:25:

Dammit, I wasn't even offended by your calling me boring and annoying. I still am not offended. I was offended only (and very much so) by your age-ism. Now, though, you offended me again with your calling me an "unsophisticated" thinker. One moment - I have to look up the word epistimological. Damn - not in the Websters New Collegiate Dictionary. Let's try another. OK, its in the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, but as epist E mology. Ok, but could one confuse the two? It seems from here that epistemology is a subdivision of logic, not seperate from it, as the Big Bang theory is a subdivision of astronomy, not seperate from it. All epistemology is logic, so I would be perfectly correct to call an epistemological argument a logical one. But let's abandon the big terms that aren't even in some college dictonaries. What is, specifically, WRONG with my argument? And, how is my position inconsistent? Yes, it makes the very truth of itself uncertain, but that's no problem. Oh, and it IS original. I did not read it, nor did I hear it from anyone. If someone else did it before me, that does not discredit my originality, it just means I am not the first to be original. Please delve into the complexities and nuances that I missed, OK? It seems to me that what I said is perfectly correct, and there is nothing more to it, but if there is something else, I want to know.

P.S. - I am in all honors or AP classes, I had the best science average last year among all the classes (honors and non-honors) and the best programming average as well (I received a certificate of recognition for my programming skills), I am skipping Algebra II and am going straight to Pre-Calculus this year because I learned Algebra II out of school, I've got an IQ of 155, and you think I am going to waste all that potential on PHILOSOPHY for the rest of my life? Get real! I am not going to barely scratch by on barely-minimum-wage if I can get work at all! Call me crazy, but for some reason, leisure time and food are important to me. I am a future engineer or programmer, not a future lazy, starving person. Philosopy should tell you how to live your life, not BE your life!
