You don't test truth, because you know it is true. Now, please excuse me because I have this arguement to hand for theological purposes:

Love. How do you test that you love someone, or that they love you? You can't. How can you explain it? You can't. She's pretty, sexy, kind etc. Will NEVER add up to "I love her" in a million years. So love is a truth, not a fact.

No, that's a fact within a decimal number system.

That implies a 3 point warning when I only made a 2 point pun. That is not only out of line but also pointless. Sorry, I'm suffering from dimensionia.

Is it a truth? For the largest part (for instance, homosexuals excepted) it's quite posslbe that it represents the most likely route to reproduction, and when not it's frequently self-denial.

He probably thought you were going for the conversion.

Tsk. Don't ovoid the solid nature of my warning. Your attempt speaks volumes.

:wink:

Bah, I've seen better puns. You guys are out of shape.

Well, for starters, not all love is sexual. Love is the part that doesn't really have anything to do with sexual attraction. You can't qualify or quantify it, you can't expalin or justify it, it just is.

I tend to regard it as a sort of built-in mental disorder, since it tends to make even otherwise perfectly sensible people behave very stupidly at times.

But unlike most mental disorders, people like to have it and are quite excited about it even.
I tend to call it an emotion, by your definition hate is a mental disorder just as well.

"And it may be that you love that which is bad for you, and hate that which is good for you. Allah knoweth, ye knoweth not."
- the Qur'an

I think that chestnut can be applied to nigh anything.

Quit trying to market your "Puns of Steel" video already. Save it for the Frontroom.

It really is a good idea to read the entire thread before hitting the reply-button.

It's that part of humans which is still animal, in the sense that it focuses on passing on genes. Spouse, children, parents... love is that which makes us do crazy things to ensure the continuation of our genetic line.

It's not all reproduction and not all love is sexual.

I disagree with the first part, and agree with the second. For the most part love helps us stick as reliably as possible to the best course of passing on our genes, be it in finding someone you believe to be the 'one' for you or in loving children and protecting them from harm. Sure, that's not always the case, but with billions of humans the odds favour some exceptions. Adding to that, in my opinion affection is often mistaken for love.

Now, now if it was a solid warning it would have been 2 points, a number two to be precise. :wink:

You two really shouldn't square off; such forms of conflict show a clear clash of spheres of influence...

When two mods have divided opinions, we'd best forget the remainder of the thread.

What a waste of two puns.

No, I think you mean what a waste from two buns.

You crack me up Pape. :laugh4:

Now you're scraping the bottom. If Kukri catches wind of how this thread has fundamentally degenerated, he'll close it.

Please. :embarassed:

I can't even pun this as hypottynuse humour since we've apparently lost that angle some six posts ago...not that any thread has a right angle, though without such, the square of the two side of the discussion cannot equal the square of the hypottynuse humour. We tried that angle though, and nothing squared once we lost the geometry of the discussion. This bodes ill for the shape of things to come. :square:

Well, at least no-one can accuse you of circular reasoning... I figure it's time to round up the culprits and give them a dose of humble pi.

Maybe, but we've gone off at such a tangent.

Pardon me for preaching, but it's an integral part of moderation to allow for posts of all denominations. If you can't differentiate between that and things outside this area, then I'm afraid we're on a gradient to nowhere.

BTW, why did you use speulers in your previous post?
