Such a humorist, you are. :laugh: What would this proof weigh? What are its dimensions of space? And of time? Is it visible? Always visible, or only sometimes? Does it taste like chicken?
You can't prove it. You can't even define those things - no wonder you can't reduce them. I'm not going to talk to you any more.

Such a willfully blind fool. Mental objects can't be reduced to material objects because they are not material.

You never have once spoken to me. Nevertheless: "Hal-lelujah! Hal-lelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hal-le-lu-jah!"

Prove it.

I know it isn't a word, but Ilion has a high degree of C*ntiness and that can't be reduced either!

No, he just drags the self control from you. He cannot help it, as a lonely, friendless child he had to amuse himself with masturbation and self loathing, it shows, as now he is a hateful wanker. Still, his pizza deliveries keep him busy, and it is a good job for someone of his limited talents.

He has written quite a few articles. You don't seem to have any. :suss:
Obloga Obama Blog[^] Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age to produce the sort of character and sort of beliefs that authorities consider desirable. Any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible.

Number Of Articles is not proportional to depth of Wankeriness. And you don't appear to have written any either. But hey, I just run the Accounts department for a multi-million pound land development company, and am responsible for all the tech side as well as being my Managing Directors factotum, so I don't get time to do the articles. He, on t'other hand, just has to make sure the pizzas are hot when they are delivered.

Big deal, it doesn't matter how big of a dick you suck. You are just a bleached white punk. You and oakman have all the time in the world to harass two individuals behind the security of a computer screen.

Actually he did. They were laughably bad and would never have been approved under the present procedures. He got into a snit fit one day when people were responding to how proud he was of getting food-stamps and demanded that Chris remove them from the database - since we were not worthy of seeing such awe-inspiring code, I suppose.

Actually, I am naturally silver haired and have been since 21 years of age. I was a punk, great music! I don't need to the security of a computer screen to harrass people, I did it in the real world, as a soldier. I don't suck dick, that I leave to the experts, like yourself and Ilidiot. I don't need to make myself superiour by denigrating others, I do it by achieving things myself.

Actually, my articles were highly rated and popular. You lie to keep your bleached white thug'punk loyal to you.

Why are you still in here ? The Soapbox 1.0 is becoming a wonderful place for intelligent discussion. I'd forgotten what that was like. I didn't realise how much the noise that's generated back here, killed conversation.
