Great! That makes me about 10! (not really)

Anyway, who cares, so long as you still have your marbles, are fit and healthy and still look good?

Saw a nice birthday card the other day. It said, You're not 50 you're 41.66 + VAT.

No I am not! However, if any of them want to have a pop at me, I will quite happily practise my Wing Chun skills. My kids do 3-4 hours of karate a week. Dangerous world out there.

I know, I was only joking, you're would be about 4 years too old for them. Now that is something I'd like to see, one of the permanently offended have the crap beaten out of him by a mere girlie

Even better, my 9 year old is pretty ferocious. She has won karate tournaments and has beaten kids far bigger than her. She could really inflict damage if she was to go full force. How about one of the permanently offended have the crap beaten out of them by a mere child?

{quote} I have come to the conclusion that outside of mathematics, there is no such thing as truth. At least not here. {quote} Here is the USA being called a "soyboy" is a high level insult.

Ahh, you just displayed the typical characteristics of a "Post Modernist", as claiming and believing there is "no such thing as truth". I argue that there indeed is truth but that it is subjective and is only quantitive through consensus, where individually it is interpretative.

{quote} Two great countries separated by a common language

Language is outdated! That is what I keep telling Christians, they still haven't figured it out, but that is OK, someone along the way will explain that it needs updating, and thus the worlds mysteries will be solved; or at least half of them anyway, where the other half will go unsolved because cognitive dissonance will still be impairing the ones who refuse alternatives explanations.

{quote} Indeed, the truth is what the group says it is, which as you quite rightly pointed out with your Socrates example, leaves the person with a choice. Which way does one go? It's a rhetorical question but in fact one unintentionally studied in the more contemporary Mark Lane's JFK Assassination film, "Rush To Judgment". The outcome of his interviews with Sam Holland and Orville Nix are an enlightening example of both sides of the effect of crowd behaviour on the individual.

Remember Lyotard's the end to all grand narratives, or Rorty's displaced Descartes on his notion for being a single foundation or basis for all knowledge? It doesn't exist, hence the statement Truth no longer exists and where it originally came from?

{quote} I did propose a solution. Weigh passenger and luggage together. If arse is too wide for the seat, then buy two or go XL. If you look back I spoke in some detail.

You did, but in an insincere way. Or sardonic? Anyway, I might mistake you as becoming more cynical in your current state.

Anyway, your suggestion is already being used in many instances around the world with many different airlines, especially regional ones. I know because I have seen it and flown a few myself.

No, I was being perfectly serious. Yes I know some airlines around the world do a little more and I applaud them for it. I just wonder what will ultimately happen with the US airlines as passengers get even bigger and they're scared of litigation. Someone has to pay and they will be pricing themselves out of the market! Maybe there is a gap in the market for fly by weight. After all, if you don't like it, you don't have to be a customer! Surely it makes sense, if everything else transported is costed by weight, then why not people?

I'm not at all well read in Philosophy so I can't comment too much on Lyotard or Rorty. But are you saying that you are in agreement with the statement that, Truth no longer exists?

{quote} Weigh As You Go?
I never cease to be amazed / horrified when I see fat people eat; the sheer greed! I saw such a thing yesterday. Years ago, my ex sister in law said to me, "it's ok for you, you can eat what you like and not put on weight." I replied, " yes, but what I like to eat is very different to what you like to eat." That didn't go down too well.

Hey, is this truth or not, fat people eat too much and move too little? Why on earth are you lot debating truth?
