Re: As I mentioned numerous times. Gaps Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 11:52:36 PM
You do understand, don't you, that this PARTICULAR opinion by these PARTICULAR philosophers have been the basis for virtually all Western governments for centuries? What other legitimacy does your aspiring subversion have?


My subversion is not aimed at Western governments, which I no longer believe to be the primary drivers of policy. Furthermore, that particular sentence is incredibly Euro/Anglo-centric.

Again, you have a very traditional interpretation of the term subversion, which doesn't take into account modern philosophy, including feminist theory, post-structuralist theory, and varying forms of social structure theory. I'd continue with this, but I'm honestly not interested (I am still interested in interesting websites!). You do seem smart, but your traditionalism diminishes some of your better comments. I'd also suggest not jumping all over the place within your paragraphs, because it clutters them, and makes it appear you're not willing to confront a point directly.
I cannot even copy his manner because the manner of his prose was the manner of his thinking and that was a dazzling succession of gaps; and you cannot ape a gap because you are bound to fill it in somehow or other -- and blot it out in the process. -- Nabokov

Well, I'm hoping I simply disagree with your diction rather than your motives. - 14/11/2010 03:36:57 PM 836 Views

When you give me an example of Jefferson murdering women and children that analogy will work. - 15/11/2010 01:49:04 PM 804 Views
yes because Jefferson was a PARAGON of virtue himself - 15/11/2010 02:17:58 PM 899 Views
I wasn't aware I'd made that statement. - 15/11/2010 02:25:27 PM 720 Views

So you are being completely subjective here? It is wrong, unless it is for a cause you support? *NM* - 15/11/2010 02:30:37 PM 393 Views
No, it's a question of precedence. - 15/11/2010 04:13:04 PM 742 Views
His analogy works very well, and you are still being subjective. - 15/11/2010 08:23:25 PM 978 Views
The precedence is inherent in the statement; that was Jeffersons point. - 15/11/2010 09:17:01 PM 949 Views

Yes. I think so, anyway - been a good while since I had Latin. - 16/11/2010 07:12:09 PM 827 Views
Thanks. Maybe that's what I'm remembering. - 16/11/2010 07:17:05 PM 802 Views
