You don't know who the fuck your talking to, you little prick, best you learn some manners.



Surely anyone who genuinely had manners would be polite to everyone, regardless of who they are, so my knowledge of your person is completely irrelevant to the issue.


Anyway, I don't really care who people are, if they say something foolish I'm going to object.

You can object without getting personal. When we deliberate about something, we look at the problem from every angle, and view point, and arrive at a considered verdict, which is what I have put before you. If, as is obvious, you want only a philosophical essay,then read the other members posts. I did study philosophy some while back, and found it to be a good way of appearing and sounding "clever," but when push comes to shove, you asked a question, and I gave my considered answer, without showing in much detail, how I came to that conclusion. That does'nt make me an idiot.
You can't handle the truth.

Fair enough, I'm sorry I over-reacted a bit. I didn't necessarily want a philosophical responce, merely one that answered the question, which your first reply did not. It was the line about "regardless of what your lecturer would have you believe" that got me, because not only does it carry with it an inherant arrogance and presumption of superiority, but it was coupled with an unjustified statement of belief that you hadn't argued for in any way. Basically what you posted was the equivolent of saying "I'm right and anyone who disagrees is stupid" and while that may have worked for Marx, it's hardly a very mature way of arguing.
