I’m my own worse enemy. I can’t keep my fucking big mouth shut. Is it more important to keep a promise you made to someone to be honest or take your chance on a love that could never be?
I guess I’m just an uneducated dreamer or delusional, or both. —Values

if the promise was only to be honest, then tell em you’re taking the chance…
and take it.
I can’t see how your conscience wouldn’t be clean after that…
You should have posted this a week ago:)
god damn, I know I’m going to regret this but…
what happened a week ago?
Ask yourself, what are her intentions of your keeping this promise. Are they good, to protect you against getting hurt by “a love that could never be”. Or maybe there are other reasons why this friend is so invested in who you are dating, like maybe she’s a jealous bitch. Do what you want, It’s your life.
I decided to call someone out on racism while half buzzed on a previous thread and it turned into a brutal shouting match where my thick eyebrows were playfully described as looking like those of a rapist you should check it out it’s the thread with a 100+ comments on the last page.
They might be psychotic but I’m through with speculating.
No. You aren’t.
I’m starting to like you guys he asked so I answered don’t worry:)
WE like you, too, El-Ibrahim. Date rapist’s eyebrows, miscegenated bloodline, Sheldon Cooper meets Shawarma ambience, and all. >: )
Daniel Abraham, eyebrow hunter…
that wasn’t quite a week ago either.
racism and motherhood are usually long topics…
especially when it’s a mother being racist….
on a bus, with a screaming kid…
who’s warbling annoyingly, while the driver cuts off a cyclist pulling out from a stop…
without using his blinker.
oh, and she’s fat and wearing tight pants.
If the promise that is keeping you from taking a chance on love was made to spare the feelings of the other and not because it was what you want … you’re doing nothing but being the protector of another heart while sacrificing your own. That may result in temporary contentment for the other person … but what about you? And what about the other person you would be taking the chance with … is that person already invested in you and ready to take a chance on love? If you’re so torn, I’m guessing the answer is ‘yes’.
In life and love we first have to be true to ourself … sometimes that brings heartache to others and feelings of guilt for us … but no one should ever ‘settle’ and it sounds as though that’s exactly what you’ll be doing if you don’t take the chance.
So, I say take the chance, but (as difficult as it may be) … be honest with the other person about your intent to do so. If that person really cares about you, wants what’s best for you and isn’t expecting you to keep this promise because of their own selfish interests or an inability to let go … they may have difficulty with what you’re doing, but should understand that your life is your life and you need to be able to live it in a way that brings you joy.
But, then again … what the fuck do I know.
I made a promise to be honest to someone I realized I care for.My conscience was bothering me because I was lying by omission of my true feelings for him. not thinking of what would come next I told him..I made the leap without thinking of the consequensis.
I hope I didn’t fuck things up.
How could you fuck anything up? It’s either going to work out or it won’t, at least now the outcome will be swift.
Fire Rage. That example, analogy, or story of your experience will have to be explained for me to understand it because if it has anything to do with me you might be misled by the fact that You don’t have enough information about my life and what I’ve gone through?? No comprehend?
This is a tough situation for the above poster. Before I did anything I would completely exhaust the idea of a possible middle ground course of action. For that more specifics would have to be explained so no complete answer but a suggestion. Middle ground brainstorm.
no comprehend wasn’t antagonistic I meant i don’t understand the context of what your saying and am curious (too many possibilities)
Eyebrow hunter? Wile E Coyote would need something from the Acme factory to hack through those sweet-grass links.
Values.
Are you talking about two different people or a situation where you can say two different things to one person?
Bread?
??
Someone want to attempt at what the fuck that means?
Take a chance on a love that can never be? How is it taking a chance if you already know the outcome? Who did you make the promise to? Yourself? So you broke the promise to yourself not to tell the man how you felt so you could maintain the honesty you want in the relationship with him. I shouldn’t be thinking about things like this so close to bedtime.
Best of luck OP. Maybe that ending you think is inevitable isn’t. Good night.
Mother being racist ON A BLOG SITE!!!! THAT”S WHAT WE”RE TALKING ABOUT! NOT A BUS!
Am I the only person here with a fucking brain besides the Narcissistic Daddy’s girl CHEERLEADER!
HOLY FUCK!
If the mother on the bus you described was being racist it was because she was irritated and couldn’t control herself. On a blog site YOU A FUCKING MORON>
292-8672 no autographs;)
..loose lips…get’s you in the shits
Don’t worry it was directed towards biscuit and he and her deserve it if you do your research. They are in the shits. Have been for awhile. As for the “anyone on this sit” that was directed towards them. I also like your comment and will follow through.
Oh and the man who made that statement in the first place was prejudice against me for the Eyebrow “rapist” trend. I was defending myself. When I deserve satisfaction and I have something relevant to say I say it.
who or more precisely is this new fucking twit? i am in my hote room and decided to check this thing out. i won’t be on much, cause i have to get going in morning. this city is fucking nuts right no with the july 4th. celebrations. and the towers site is fantastic. too bad i forgot my fucking camera at home. oh well, i can remember in my mind.
Can everyone say ‘narcissistic’?
David-In no way shape or form was my comment a slight against you,you’re peoples and/or you’re eyebrows.
Not everything is about you.
So chill there guy.K
Sorry I intended my last comment for Daniel the ‘narcissist’.
Shit just got real.
Real crazy!
So Abrahamistan goes out pop can collecting at nights, holding meaningless conversations with himself, comes home, gets baked and then tries to talk us over to the Dark Side.
He’s the male equivalent of mcgailhead – remember that one, she was always filing reports about police corruption etc?
Holy fuckbags, SERIOUSLY, Abraham STOP POSTING MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW.
You’ve already established yourself as the forum idiot, a highly coveted spot snatched away from More-on and his sidekick SHITTY. You got it, bud. No need to keep proving you’re a dummy.
not to mention
*lunatic rant out of nowhere*, submit…
2 mins later
oh yeah, *1 line lunatic rant out of nowhere*, submit
2 mins later
oh yeah, *1 line lunatic rant out of nowhere*, submit
maybe give your thoughts a sec or two before you share whatever ‘wisdom’ you’re desperately (and failingly) trying to impart.
Triple + posting shows you’re not really thinking of whatever the hell you’re saying, just flying by the seat of your jeggings.
not only did you omit the only important part of my name when referring to me, you’re asking me to explain to you what I meant? man, that’s gonna be a tough task, but I guess I can try to dumb it down a few notches…
“if the promise was only to be honest, then tell em you’re taking the chance…
and take it.”
person A and person B have an agreement to be honest with one another…
you follow thus far? ok.
Something/someone C comes along and A thinks there is a love that wasn’t meant to be with that C. If person A tells person B about C, as in being honest…
then A is not breaking their promise to B.
Thus conscience cleared.
Is it just me or was that already glaringly obvious before I wasted time bothering to write it out?
I think he was referring to your post that encompassed all the bitches that tend to get a lot of comments.
Though I could be wrong.
Only Daniel really knows for sure.
I wonder if he’ll clear things up for us when he crawls out of bed in his mom’s basement at 2pm or so?
Because obviously everything is about him.
Now that he’s gracing us with his presence on LTWWB.
Too bad he wouldn’t just eat that chip he’s got on his shoulder.
And realize how FUCKING ANNOYING multiple posting is.
DO YOU SEE HOW FUCKING ANNOYING THIS IS, YOU FUCKING ASS CRACK?
Put up a picture of you smiling Daniel, I have $50 riding on the fact that you have meth-mouth.
I want ‘zilla to put him in a picture with Luka Magnotta.
Nope I’m just an alcoholic who can still think
Kitty’s wearing her jeggings again..
So many of you thought I was “dense”. This is the most fun I’ve had in 10 years. At least I could live rent free in your fucking heads for another 10 more;)
I’ll be back in 10 years;)
uranium is dense…
george w bush is dense…
you sir are wayyyyyy past that.
Nah, kitty’s just trying to make a point.
“Kitty’s trying to make a point”
Take off your hat!
It’ll be very obvious to anyone who sees you.
Sorry fire Rage. The question I’m asking is how does a woman on the bus who is definitely irritated by difficult external factors have anything to do with a racist asshole on a blog site.
Fire Rage….. we”re are you?
“Fire Rage….. we”re are you?”
Fulfilling the responsibilities of his job, perhaps?
I dunno, just taking a stab in the dark here….
No he was asking if we are Fire Rage. The answer is no Daniel.
I am.
No, wait…I’m Spartacus.
That’s it.
Senior moment. Sorry.
Here we go again with PK calling people she dislikes idiots. I’ve pretty much given up that one day she’ll finally come up with something original to say, instead of throwing out the same tired insults as if she’s some kind of authority on anything. I had a good old chuckle at the “moms basement” comment, obviously forgetting where she lives. Typical hypocritical comment from our resident hypocrite. It always makes me laugh when i get “called out” by a one dimensional mouth piece that can’t disagree with someone without taking it to a personal level.
Don’t get excited Daniel, I wouldn’t waste my asshole creds to defend a wanker that trolls by playing the race card.

My essay entitled
When things become about me
A group of people on a public blog site whom gang up on someone for pointing out racism. Maybe he’s wrong but we’ll tell him his eyebrows are thick and this makes him look like a rapist when he definitely fucking SHOULDN”T tell you the horrifying things he’s been through.
Oh, and this goes back to my statement about you supporting assholes because you are “nieve”
What’s a nieve?
This:
http://www.stevenhumour.com/wp-content/upl…
Hay Nieve, Danny needs his eyebrows back; there’s rapin’ to be done. Allah Akhbar!
Ooooh, you hear dat PK? He thinks you’re Neve Campbell!
Daniel, your arrogance and self-assurance aren’t helping your case. You’re not as clever as think you’re perceived, and your intelligence is far below what you believe it to be. This is evident in your childish, instantly defensive, responses to what is posted here. An improvement in spelling, grammar, and coherency to your posts would improve your slim chances of winning any sort of ‘argument’.
As to your posts about racism; What exactly happened, and do you really believe these incidents were more damaging to your psyche than events others here have experienced? Growing up I would have gladly taken racist jabs over getting pelted with rocks.
Also, constantly using racism as a shield only helps to perpetuate the problem. The more attention racism gets the longer it’s going to be around (that’s what Morgan Freeman believes).
Darth Captain.
I was pointing out racism not using it as a shield. Shield from what?
Have you even looked into the conversations of what we are talking about or are you using a “shield” science officer spock?
“Ooooh, you hear dat PK? He thinks you’re Neve Campbell!”
And after that “incident” at the last summit, who can blame him:
http://www.zharphyn.com/blog/wp-content/up…
Of course, having to give poor little Brendon CPR and being banned for life is a bit of a drag, but all in all I’d say it was worth it.
You mentioned racism in 7 of your posts on this blog alone. You’re attempting to gain emotional respect from the people who read your posts, you want them to respect the atrocities you suffered.
“…his eyebrows are thick and this makes him look like a rapist when he definitely fucking SHOULDN”T tell you the horrifying things he’s been through.”

See what you did there?
Spock is from Star Trek not Star Wars, Mr IQ 145.
And yes, generally if something happens on the internet, I know about it.
Nope whole time I was defending myself. Shield from what Mr Spock.
Must be “Romulans”
correct spelling?
What do you use a shield for? To defend yourself… get it yet?
http://chzsetphaserstolol.files.wordpress.…
Fuck sakes, ModBird: can you just ban Abraham for his regular use of multiple posting? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeee?
Abraham: this isn’t msn or other SMS clients, douchbagel. Post once and be done with it.
PS: no one thinks you’re clever.
You don’t know my motivations and yes everything has a motivation that is redundant. I was concerned that people might be misled (motivation). I suggest you study Hume. start with a “critique of pure reason” and go from there.
Oh, and if everyone whom brought up racism were racist, the level of racism would be so much higher, wouldn’t it;)

Mr Spock. There are some very bad people who want to be politicians. I just weld. Ya don’t have to talk to ignorant people.
We’ll anyway kids, I’ve got to go to work again, just as yesterday, and your still here badgering and quite frankly this brings a massive smile to my face that will last the whole night:)
Keep that smile tonight when you’re bent over a park bench taking a subway up the joyhole from some old chicken hawk. And remember, clean up your “cups” and “napkins” afterwards. We are all stewards of the Earth, no?

THE CHARLATAN
RSVP: Darth Captain (July 7, 07/05, 2:08PM)
Good afternoon Darth. I have been quite busy on another Halifax interactive site and, coupled with the stunning banality of the most recent crop of bitches on this one, have not posted in some time. However, I noted the activity on this particular thread and decided to investigate. It was in the course of this investigation that I noted your call for help regarding one Daniel Abraham.
To begin listening to his mind at work, I started scrolling back through his posts. It didn’t take long. I can tell you now that he is a charlatan.
In his post of 07/05, 1:44PM Daniel writes, “I suggest you study Hume, start with a ‘critique of pure reason’ and go from there.” Well Darth, you wouldn’t go very far from there because – wait for it – it was Immanuel Kant and not David Hume who wrote “The Critique of Pure Reason.” Not only did Hume not write “The Critque” (as it is known even to first-year students of philosophy), his empiricism was the target of Kant’s analysis of what he (Kant) called “pure reason.”
Hume was a skeptic in the sense that he maintained that there are no concepts which are not derived from the senses, from sense data. All knowledge, in other words, is empirical, drawn from sense experience. Of course, even first-year philosophy students would have no trouble with Hume. His position is easily demolished. How, one might ask, did Hume know this? Hume is unable to respond for the very good reason that his own knowledge that all knowledge is drawn from sense experience was itself NOT drawn from sense experience but was, in Kantian terms, “a priori.” Hume’s knowledge existed prior to the contact of his mind with the data of his own sensation. So Hume’s position quickly collapses.
I hope this has been of some help for you, Darth. I will keep my eye on any reply Daniel might care to make. Are you there, Daniel?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Yea MoMan, philosophise the shit outta him!
Abraham, your brows are hawt! Thanks for the digets, I’ll holla at you later.
Suckster, what room u in?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. BURN.
sorry no_fool, moved out of motel at 6 a.m. today, got a long ways yet to go. thought i would pop back to see what that fucking numbskull is going on about now, still can’t get a handle on it.
but of course there are some here that will sey him straight, maybe. i also see that there is a whole new crop of posters since i drove out of town. yeah, i had to drive my car. i couldn’t find anyone with a hauler to take car to florida, so i have to put a million fucking miles on it, damn.
that will drive the going price down at the auction. but anyway, what is your fucking problem here abrahambonehead? don’t get all fucking bent out of shape, because the suckster goes at just about everyone there on this site. and yeah, there are a lot of fucking idiots here, and you just took over number one spot. be a good little terrorist, and go blow something, or someone. harper will let you. maybe that’s seb. in disguise, or maybe even kay, who knows, who fucking cares? to me, you are just another piece of meat to be ground up and spit out by the bitchers. have at it y’all.
pk – Our (ahem) new bitcher was just exercising some of the basic precepts of philosophy, you know, the same ones that Smeagol uses. Misquotes, incorrect references, and attaches authority to give some weight to otherwise “hot air”.
“So many of you thought I was “dense”. This is the most fun I’ve had in 10 years.” … Is this bitch for serious? … witless and boring.
Daniel … if all you wanna do is create a ruckus and get attention … go stand in the middle of the Willow Tree intersection during rush hour traffic.
And the next time you wanna bitch about being called racist, or anything else … write your own bitch instead of taking over someone else’s.
The fans just keep poring in.
His latest post is at 5:12 – I assume he’s home by now, unless his shopping cart has wi-fi, I wouldn’t have thought many people would have their recyclables kerbside this early?
I wonder if we can entice him to the next summit, for some in person ridicule.
That would mean holding the next summit at Venus Pizza, and I don’t think his boss would let him take his 5Minute break during the lunch hour.
“And the next time you wanna bitch about being called racist, or anything else … write your own bitch instead of taking over someone else’s.”
Why should he? We never write our own bitches when we have something to say. We pick a boring bitch, derail it, then turn it into something interesting. Some regulars even derail valid interesting bitches due to treating this website like a personal chat forum (PKdoesthisalot….yeah yeah fuck off zilla…I know :D). This community was shit before the weird guy was posting and it will still be shit when he stops posting.

: Daniel Abraham (07/06, 5:12AM)
Daniel? Daniel? Are you there Daniel?
I was hoping for something from you on the Kant-Hume affair but, given the early hour, perhaps you need to marshall your intellectual resources. In the meantime I would like to explore Humean empiricism a bit further. Perhaps you will see something to get your teeth into. I will showcase a standard saying of Humean empiricism:
“EVERYTHING THAT IS IN THE MIND WAS FORMERLY IN THE SENSES”
Now this is interesting, Daniel, since the saying is open to ambiguity, i.e., the sense in which it is uttered. There are two such senses, the ontological and the epistemologucal.
In it’s ontological sense the saying is simply a descriptive account of being. What does that mean? In the 18th. century Frederick of Prussia isolated a child at birth, preventing any communication with him, to see what language he would speak when he was able. But he was never able. The reason for this was there was nothing in his senses, beyond rudimentary sensations such as taste, sight, etc., which were insufficient to provide his mind with nourishment. Therefore, it was concluded, there could be nothing in his mind independently of what was initially in his senses. Ontological empiricism was validated. There is no argument with that.
However, in my previous post, I was using the saying in its epistemological sense, that is, that it was to be understood as making a knowledge claim. The saying was advanced not as an ontological claim but rather as an item of knowledge, i.e., that everything in the mind was formerly in the senses. Now this is a different horse, so to speak. It is where Hume encountered insurmountable difficulties since the saying itself was never in his senses. It was, in Kant’s terminology, “a priori.”
However Daniel – and we’re going to get a bit technical here – the saying was not an “analytical proposition a priori” but rather a “synthetic proposition a priori.” An analytical proposition a priori refers to what we now call a “tatutology,” a
proposition (philosophers use the term “proposition” rather than a simple sentence since something is proposed) such as “A bachelor is an married man.” The proposition is true by virtue of the terms it contains. In ten-dollar terms, the “definiendum” bachelor (that which is to be defined) is identical with the “definiens,” the definition itself. In addition there were the “synthetic propositions a posteriori,” those statements which produced knowledge but mecessarily depended upon sense data, i.e., “The sky is blue.” For Hume these two types of statements jointly exhausted the dimensions of all knowledge claims. Statements were either tautologous or sense-dependent. One or the other.
The Kantian Revolution, however, rejected the dichotomy and claimed that there were “synthetic propositions a priori,” statements which yielded knowledge yet were independent of sensory data. He had in mind things like the truths of mathematics and geometry. But where did these synthetic propositions a priori come from? Plato, of course, wrestled with the same problem in his “Meno” and claimed that such propositions came from memory from a previous life. However, Kant took such propositions out of the spiritual realm and placed them firmly on normal, earthly foundations where it has now become the problem of “ideation,” the sources of our sense-independent ideas.
I trust, Daniel, that all this might serve as an inspiration for you to enter into philosophical debate. I shall be waiting.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

Ivan – he will be busy this weekend it’s the Lebanese festival, I hear they’re having a racist eyebrow competition?
i love those popcorn eating gifs, 195
Winner gets a good swift kick in Hezbollocks.
Just kidding >; )
First prize gets an all expense paid weekend in Beirut
2nd prize gets 8 years in Beirut.
Most disturbing result from this social experiment. Magnotta referred death threats directed towards me. Someone at work told me to call the cops. So people, I am intelligent enough to decide whether or not this gang can’t tell when they’re acting like animals.
“Someone at work told me to call the cops.”
http://www.lolroflmao.com/wp-content/uploa…
Death threats? Somebody’s off their Zyprexa.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GNKcJP7dZ6A/TJHp…
No you aren’t. You can’t even tell Kant from Hume. Montrealman hit the target dead in the center (veiled death threat? OH NOES) when he called you a charlatan. A half baked rehash of other, long-established bitchers; some entertaining and some ridiculous. Montrealman has already done the “social experiment” routine. Lifesucks has mastered the “stream of conciousness” writing style. Eats Crayons is the Warrior Princess of the multiple post. And our troika of legitimate whack jobs, OldHand, Laerrus & Jim Kramer werethe resident Bull Goose Looneys when it came to pulling the old unacknowledged genius/persecuted martyr schtick.
Welterweight amateur is what you are.
One last question. Does this make you horny, baby?
http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.co…
Luka Magnotta made death threats against you???!!! Err wait, you said he just “referred” death threats? Who did he refer you to? What the hell are you blabbering about?
All joking about YOUR awful grammar aside, are you referring to the fact that Ivan wanted Zilla to create a fake image of your face next to Luka Magnotta’s? Really? Loool. You know you shouldn’t really be drinking alcohol anymore.
PS: Someone at work told me you’re an idiot.
Wait, you really told someone at “work” about your little rants? Oooh yeah guys, he totally doesn’t care.
Depeche Mel, Darth Captain did. It’s the reason why him and the various people whom clicked like don’t show face or name.
But, please call me out on “grammar nazi”
I did WHAAAAA? Death Threats… against you?! Hardly worth my time, little buddy. Beside, The Sith don’t threaten to kill, they just go through with it.
I see you’re having some trouble with communication and comprehension, my imbecile dialect is a little rusty but I’ll try to accommodate your special needs from now on.
BTW: My name’s Liam, and it’s definitely NOT a pleasure to meet you.
I will never meet you; and if I recognize you I will completely avoid you. The “emotional support” tactic or whatever it is Mr Spock wannabe mind reader is talking about is merely me defending myself against a mob of people. You don’t know me or the horrifying things I’ve been through means I could be anyone on a public blog site. I like to sometimes be vague because then I see how people fill in the blanks, tells me a lot about them. I’m dam good at it too.
Likewise, Wise Guy. You make the unfortunate assumption that no one one this blog, besides you, has had a terrible time in their life.
So, if you do see me on the street, please do avoid me as I’ve had enough bad experiences to not want to add you to the pile.
“Somebody call Montrealman, we need someone to take this Ma’Fuckin’ wannba philosopher out!”
IS THAT THE DEATH THREAT??? HAAAAAAAAHAHAAAAAAAA. I can see how that can be misconstrued! Little Danny, MontrealMan is actually the resident philosopher – no connection to Luka Magnotta. I don’t think so anyway.
I don’t know that, and I thought you were all about Grammar and taking literal interpretations of what’s written seriously;)
But I will admit that is funny:)

ok after reading this whole thread I am laughing so hard I’m crying. Thank you for picking up on the shopping cart can collecting. It made my day bahahahahaha.
Montrealman usually annoys me but in this case he’s saved the day. Eyebrows probably doesn’t even know what he means in his posts.
I haven’t seen someone give out their phone number so much in a public forum since my short and very amusing time on a dating website. I’ll be sure to pass on your number on washroom stalls and walls all over town eyebrows.
OK. It seems a significant number of you think I’m a troller (I did say “troll” in response to a disturbing comment that was said on a previous thread. The idiotic Halifax he man or whatever he calls himself moron eyebrow comment was erased, and could have been added to a belief that I am a “troll” and not defending myself from these mobbing assholes), with this I’m taking at least a long break and won’t continue to antagonize this clique whom have ganged up on me. When I return, I will not “troll” anymore. You talk trash I leave. Also know this; I have outsmarted more of you trolling assholes than I ever will have to. I had to fight fire with fire and I have complete satisfaction with both how I’ve handled it and how these people have responded. I could tell just from the negative space in between your thoughts.
I will admit that some people have entered this fray seeing me as not defending myself because they ran with what they didn’t realize were a pack of wolves.
It’s been great goodbye.
If you say you are going to do something then do it. For example….STOP FUCKING POSTING if you say that in every second post you submit. Jesus h fucking christ shut the fuck up and go away or stop acting like you are leaving you mongoloid shaped headed douche
We’re wolves? Cool =)
This one reminds me of Mel
http://packoftheheavens.webs.com/Howling%2…
Don’t leave us yet, danielle. We were just beginning to be dazzled by your superior intellect, you can’t leave us hanging. I want to hear a story about “what you’ve been through” as far as being mistaken for a middle eastern person. Were you anally searched at the airport after being racially profiled? What was this “hate crime” that has ever changed the emotional landscape that is now your delicate, wilted existance? You keep throwing it in our faces as if we’re all a bunch of aggressive racists covered from head to toe in white hooded robes.
MING THE MERCILESS!
Been trying to figure out who he reminded me of all day.
“THE CHARLATAN”
Well chaps, it looks like Daniel has departed the scene. Too bad really as I was looking forward to a little philosophical rough and tumble. Anyway, you’ll note that the title of this post is in quotation marks. This is to indicate that, in addition to failing as a philosophical interlocutor, Daniel also failed as a charlatan. But how can one fail as a charlatan?
To be a successful charlatan one must be able at least to give the impression that one is a bona fide practioner of the skill in question, in the present case, that of a philosopher. Sadly, Francis failed to pass this minimal test. It’s not like I didn’t give him openings to prove himself. For example, I mentioned “ideation” at the end of my post as the process by which those ideas which embodied Kant’s “synthetic propositions a priori” are generated when any even marginally competent philosopher would have known that the proper term is “ideogenesis.” But Francis failed to engage me on the point.
Even more disappointingly, he failed to press me on specifying the source of Kant’s “synthetic propositions a priori.” If, as Hume maintained, tautologies (Kant’s “analytical propositions a priori”) and sensory data (Kant’s “synthetic propositions a posteriori”) jointly exhausted the sources of all knowledge claims (if, that is, one counts tautologies as “knowledge” at all), then whence the source of the “synthetic propositions a priori”? As I indicated at the end of my post, I was waiting for him but he never asked. (psst, the answer is “culture,” that all-enveloping ideational and normative environment in which we all swim like fish in the sea but which, unlike the sea is to the fish, is for us not wholly deterministic.)
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

Troon, are you calling Biscuit an ass-kissing elephant? That doesn’t make sense. I can see someone kissing an elephant’s ass, perhaps by standing tiptoe, but how would an elephant get down to kiss someone else’s ass? Anyway Biscuit, are you going to take that? Give him a shot in the ass, Biscuit.
But the real reason I’m posting this note is because it’s my #999! Time, or nearly time, to break out the champagne!
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Of course not Monsieur, I don’t really know Biscuit though I have a hunch who he might have been in another life. I was merely having fun with the word sycophant.
You could have an ass-kissing elephant if it was kissing another elephant’s ass but that’s a topic for another day.
ever since shitty-d brought it up…
I can’t help but think how appropriate it is for mr. abraham

It’s all Kosher. Thank you for rallying the troops though, montrealman. And you’re right; it didn’t make sense to think of myself as an ass kisser but you and trondoon quickly settled that. (08/07/2012, 3:07 p.m.)
3 day break taken. Hey Montrealman. Most of my focus has been in the mind Consciousness debate. I’ve got some good well received anti reductionist arguments I could bring up and plenty of time sometime. I won’t be busy with these people they pissed me off and I followed suit. Don’t see this charlatan idea you see. Anyways you should be able to at least delve into some philosophy of science (requirement of testability in the scientific method. Debate on how to come up with a “test” that is essentially impossible but gains inference that’s a common good one). Anyways my short Global warming tease is on one of the next threads there’s A LOT I left out so try some fill in the blanks that won’t swamp me too much with retracing research I do have to get to the bars on the weekends anyways. I would love to hear your points.
PS. Are you in Montreal right now?
