But that's only, like, 1/50 of a cent.

regular.joe · 09-26-2009, 02:15 PM

What kind of exchange rate is that??????

Griff · 09-26-2009, 02:19 PM

.02 dollars = 2 cents

Man, this one never gets old:

"Well, I mean it's obviously a difference of opinion..."

Peace sounds boring. Imagine a world where everybody agreed wih everyone else...... I could live without the violence though. The rape, the war, the robbery..... but I can't imagine those happening unless everybody agreed with everyone else. I can put no price on peace because it's all or nothing and I don't want all and I don't want nothing....

Peace is lack of war, not lack of contention, nor lack of disagreement.

@ Clod: I am so utterly astounded every time I see that clip. Seriously, it's simple freaking math. I can't imagine how frustrated that guy must have been trying to explain it to TWO different people from verizon.

regjoe? Do you see the difference now?

regular.joe · 09-28-2009, 11:15 AM

I'm just sayin that my .02 Cents is worth $.02. I will admit that I did have a typo there to begin with. It was stoopid.

What was stooopit was me calling anybody on a math error. I have no skills.

Shawnee123 · 09-28-2009, 11:18 AM

No, your .02 cents is worth $.0002.

Jebus, now I'm confused...is that even right?

edit: it wasn't. fixed.

'Peace' is not a concept limited to humanity. (last link pdf)

What will lead to peace:
. . . . The eventual heat death of the universe.

It's easy to fit 1/50 of a cent on a bumper sticker.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

“'Peace' is not a concept limited to humanity.”

Of course it is, insofar as we know: as concept (something rooted in *language) 'peace' is uniquely human.

Certainly whales and orangutans may have something analogous to the concept, but this is only a guess.

We, however, 'know' humans truck in peace...this whole thread is an example of it.

*Language is one of the tools the human individual uses in apprehending the world. As signifier, the individual names the world, in some fashion making the world his own by giving it, the world, significance. This is true not only for the objective world, but also the esoteric one, that is, ideas and concepts (fictions) having no independent realness.

Peace, as construct, idea, fiction, is one such 'named' and signified thing.
