Can't say no to absolutes - But can say yes without contradiction |
You can't say no to absolutes absolutely. It's a contradiction.
Saying yes to absolutes absolutely though is not.
Logic points to the truth of absolutes.
Truth isn't by chance.
It is revealed subtly.
And it is meant to be known.

And you're an immature fool who enjoys wallowing in his own ignorance.
Enjoy your laziness.

I absolutely agree, absolutely.

If the slime of the NG say I am wrong then
I must have done something right!

It is a contradiction only within the framework of semantic logic. It
is a logical fallacy to say no or yes to absolutes "absolutely". There
is no meaning to the term "absolutely" absolute.
Just tacking "absolutely" on the end of the statement that says there
are no absolutes artificially creates the appearance of a paradox,
when in fact it is just bad grammar.
The question is simply yes to absolutes, or no to absolutes. Phrased
that way, you can see that there is no paradox.
Truth isn't by chance.

Perhaps, but truth is not spontaneously generated by the manipulation
of grammar.
