    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.

                  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.

                      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.

                            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.

                                    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.

                                      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.

                                        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.
