    6 + 2 = 8 but so does 5 + 3. The way you do things is not always the only way to do them. Respect other people's way of thinking. ..

    Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

      In my experience so far, almost every time someone posts something like this, they're from India. Is this a cultural thing? Do you guys say these things to each other a lot? Do you actually believe in this?

        It's worth being aware that this type of post doesn't normally go over well, here in the Lounge. We're a pretty cynical bunch and posts like this have tended to attract a lot of negativity in the past. Just so you know.

        Maybe that's what he's aiming at in this post... Respect the man for crying out loud! :laugh:

          Exactly. If someone is a stalker, serial killer, abuses women, is creepy, fake, or just an ahole... I'm not going to respect that.

          That's all moot if 1 + 7 = 8 :D

            If someone tries to calculate 6 + 2 by shifting beads on a wire when a calculator is available, I might have something to say about their methods.

                No, all rational, irrational and transcendental numbers are also real numbers. Numbers can also become a little unreal, but that may be too complex. :-)

                This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                  If someone needs beads on a wire or a calculator to calculate 6 + 2, I might have something to say about their education. :rolleyes:

                      Think different. 16 / 2 = 8.
