Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Dear Anders, Imagine from now on there is a guy standing aside you holding a gun against your head. With every sentence you want to write and to post he will ask you: " Are you really sure that it is true " ? Only Yes or No ... Could it then be that you staying alive at the same will free the members of this list from your postings ? Or would you rather prefer to die for the sake of pride and vanity ?

I have found the number 2! " Until then I will hesitate to say that anything I write is the truth. But even if I had found the number 2, how would I know that it was really the real number 2? If I guy was holding agun against my head, I would ask him: " Would you please be so kind as to tell me; is this the real number two or not? " He would then look at me as I was being a nutcase. And he would not be able to shoot me. I _am_ untouchable. Everything I experience has already happened. :-) If you want the truth from somebody, ask him or her to show you the number 2. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Dear Anders, You missed the point ! No discussion allowed with that guy with a gun - just yes or no. You are already dead !
