 Topic: Me Vs. You
Posted: June 22 2007 at 02:35 |
|
You have not proven that you are better than me, therefore I must assume my own superiority. I shall not make any a priori judgements on one whom my friendly armchair has not given me permission to seek. Furthermore, I cannot even be sure of you're existence, but only my own. cogito ergo sum. you, being no one at all, have met your match.

for those about to prog, we salute you.

Appeal who? This is a 99% male site...  Btw by "word game" I was referring to the whole poll thing, not to your chat with Ivan. (Also you should know Ivan is extra-cool because he's a lawyer and never loses any dispute... Be careful who you deal with  )

So I see you need the comfort of word games to secure your comfort... because if it was for Atomic Rooster vs. Andu, a real contest, we don't know who'd win...

It's not a logic trap, but a language barrier. More precise, a lack of adherence of the language to the logic of what's supposed to be said.

No, not in the least. When I joined this Poll you (ie "me") had 15 votes. I voted for you (i.e. "me") giving you 16 votes.

you seem to be interpreting how to vote in this poll according to the dimensions of your own mind, which seems to be a mistake

no, really. |
well, if you voted for "you" then it was actually for yourself, which makes you selfish. but anyways, altruism is for the weak and those who feel inadequate in their own accomplishments. but whatever, choose your own pie to lay on
