Clarify something for me, if you will.

Wouldn't the more apt function of these communal journals be an opportunity to set forth solutions rather than lamenting the repressed psychoses of our inner children? I get it, I do. You're all Germanic noble savages worshiping thunder deities and masticating horse meat, when you're not busy raising the dead. Or so I hear. Coincidentally, you could suspect why I refrained from using the traditional term Viking, which is actually of a feminine tense from which the masculine vikingr is easily derived but also easily overlooked.

To set things back on course, I have a question to steer us in the right direction from hence forth. What is the best screenplay adaption of a musical? Think carefully, there is only one correct answer.

	Experience is an even narrower sample populace. You are not an unbiased test subject. Your emotions taint your experiences, and your experiences taint your emotions. Invalid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you going to sit here and argue with me about the level of intelligence in three people that eagerly enter a debate on the merits of song and dance while a significant portion of the journal-holder population was sexually assaulted and/or dismembered recently?

	You're attempting to make statements about the larger population based on three potentially traumatized individuals. I'm not arguing with you. I'm telling you that, scientifically, your opinions are without merit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I'm making statements about these three individuals. I've already conceded to the fact that intelligence exists in Las Vegas, I'm talking to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could be right, I have considered it already, thus confirming my objectivity to my own omniscience. I can be wrong, but I'm not. How comfortable are you with being proven inaccurate? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Scientifically inaccurate? You won't be able to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That wasn't the question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There was no indication of that in my reply. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There was every indication of that in your reply. I asked how comfortable you were with being proven wrong, rather than answer me, you chose to outline all of the ways that you would allow me to try and do so. Still evading the question, unless you already answered it.

I ask you how to protect a home while calling from the front door, and your only response is to latch the chain?

	You're obfuscating the facts of the conversation. My issuing of parameters already implies that I'm comfortable with your attempts at proving yourself wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doesntcare 2012-05-29 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Prove myself wrong? I didn't realize this entire conversation was the set-up for a joke, Dahlia. Can I call you Dahlia? I don't enter into situations where I can be proven wrong, I outline the possibility for failure first. Which is what you should have done, before you commented on this post.

	You like your assumptions, don't you? You may, Cotton. You'll forgive me if I don't request permission for reciprocal use of your name. I'm still awaiting parameters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doesntcare 2012-05-29 12:53 am UTC (link)
	Just as much as you like your presumptions. I wouldn't dream of proving you wrong, Dahlia. You're at least interesting at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	verveine 2012-05-29 01:04 am UTC (link)
	In translation, you have no parameters established. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can't form a hypothesis about that based on empirical evidence in this conversation? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you looking for me to impress you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. You impressing me was not on the list of things I looked to accomplish when answering this post. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What was on the list? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Telling you that your question was inane, based on the state of the city and the suffering that is still ongoing. Clarification that viking, in Norse, was not a noun, and therefore the feminine referred to the journey and not the race, making your statement intentionally incorrect, in order to insult. Or, lastly, pointing out your poor logic in choosing Germanic savages to make your point, as the general populace would not recognize Germanic paganism as having morphed into Norse paganism.
