pirana 0 #51 March 23, 2011 Quote Exactly, so why do some try and make it out to be something it isn't? Or even to change it into something it isn't? This isn't the College Debate Club. Well, it took me a while but i finally got it about SC. There's extremely little discussion and very little debate. It's all about arguments. Quote Now here's a man who gets it. I mean come on people, do you really take an obscure site filled with Skydivers seriously? If this was a site full of skateboarders, how serious would you take what is discussed? What really funny is the anal ones who consider this site a big part of their life. Time to take a step back if you find yourself getting an attitude towards other posters. Why does anybody think it is called Speaker's Corner? It is the online equivalent of Ranting Street Corner Lunatic. Funny aside. Took the family to Chicago last week. The kids got to see panhandlers and Ranting Street Corner Lunatics in numbers for the first time. They found the guy on the subway singing a quite loud rendition of a gospel/rasta/rap mix perplexing. "Dad, does he just ride the train so he can sing to people?" "Yes honey, it's his strategy for keeping an audience. On the street we could just walk away. Here, put a quarter in his hat and he'll probably go to the next car."" . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #52 March 23, 2011 QuoteQuoteI bet you do. the rest of us drive on roads A road, even if you discount the unevenness of the surface, is 2 dimensions. The only way driving is one-dimensional is if you live on a line - as a line is defined in geometry. Am I not supposed to take this seriously? seriously, you equate lane changing and little bumps as a serious extra dimensions? or are just billvoning the whole thing by counting curves and turns as a serious 2nd dimension to the line you drive on - how clever, how pathetic to ignore the obvious intent of the comment just to show others how sadly clever you would have been in real life if you had one your dog is ugly too ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they are in the same plane, that's 2 dimensions. The statement is clearly "Driving" is one D - you control velocity on a single line only at any instant. Your statement is "Traffic systems" are one D - clearly you need help with language and communications (and use of foot powder) - but thanks for trying Unless you can drive simultaneously on 2 different roads with the same vehicle......... If you wish to drive in a giant parking lot, or boat on a large lake or ocean - then I'll credit you. ...

pirana 0 #60 March 24, 2011 Quote Quote and wendy's theories are proven I just love a happy ending Wendy P. It's not over til I say it is over. I think people who treat driving as a one-dimensional activity are dangerous; they have tunnel vision. Driving requires awareness in all directions - the phrase head on a swivel comes to mind.

DanG 1 #63 March 24, 2011 Why just don't you just use the standard SC Parse subroutine? Any idiot can tell what you meant was that "Driving" is a one D activity. It is also a one R activity, two I, one N, and one G.

Yes Quote It is also a one R activity, Yes to this also. Quote two I, While technically correct, here is where you and I disagree. WHERE'S THE "V"??? Quote one N, and one G. At least you got the end correct. But where is the "V"???? Quote Then spend the next four pages defending to the death your newly defined position. How many pages can we devote to the missing "V"?

I thought maybe one a week would be an easy goal and would stimulate my Scriptural research and study. You came to this forum for that?! Talk about sending in a marshmallow to put out a bonfire. Naivete, true. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
