The Dispute Thread

[Nikhar]

This thread is the bowl of nectar for people who live to disagree, to debate and have the most fiery disputes, for people who like to disagree for the sake of it.

The game's simple. I post a simple fact or a simple myth :p. You debate against it or for it in the wildest of absurd manner. You can ask the next person to continue on the nonsensical debate or state a new fact for the next person to disagree.

Draw your swords and hug your shields and get ready for a violent brawl.

So, the first fact:- The earth revolves around the sun.

[Tarvaa]

No it doesn't, there is no sun.

[soundofmusic]

No it doesn't, there is no sun.

I disagree, there most definitely is a sun; I know because its soul purpose is to orbit around my person each day:flare::lol:

[Nikhar]

Your sense of size and shape seems really blurred. You can't differentiate between the all mighty sun and the puny dung beetle? :p

[Scheherazade]

Oh, great! Because we don't have enough disputes on the Forum as it is... We needed a game for people to practice not to lose their touch.

[Nikhar]

Is that the stuff I'm supposed to disagree? lol :D

Well, this thread is for those people to give a vent to their feelings without actually hurting anyone's feelings in particular. I'm so thoughtful. :angel:

[Nikhar]

Why did this thread pass into oblivion?

Come....debate! :p

[Scheherazade]

Why did this thread pass into oblivion?Because:
...we don't have enough disputes on the Forum as it is... We needed a game for people to practice not to lose their touch.

[Nikhar]

Because:

But...but...but thats not fair. I can hardly take part in any of those other debates....they are so intellectual. And me.... I become very happy if I can tell one golf bat from another. :p

Oops... its called a club, right? :goof:

[dafydd manton]

It's only a bat if you're playing snooker! If it's golf, it's a racket, which, given the green fees at my local club, is a bit of a play on words. A club is a place where either gentlemen foregather to behave like gentlemen, without the influence of women, or a place where gentlemen foregather to behave in anything other than a gentlemanly fashion, with the aid of women, who could never be described as ladies. Generally speaking, overheads are kept to a minimum by failing to provide said females with clothing.

[Scheherazade]

Oops... its called a club, right? :goof:I think it is a golf racket actually...

Club is a place where people go for dancing, no?

There is also the other meaning as a verb... which means beat someone with a stick.

[dafydd manton]

So does that what it mean when we read the word "sticky" at the front of some threads. No wonder we're all confused.

[Astromaxis]

No why does it mean IT CANT IT CANT It obviously means someone walks with a stick

[dafydd manton]

Oh, that's ridiculous, what have you got against the Zimmer frame, or those crutches that you can adjust to fit whether you're a pigmy of a Zulu?

[Astromaxis]

The Zulu Stick controls thunder you don't know that?!

[dafydd manton]

Yeah, but when was the last time you saw a Zulu in a Yorkshire industrial town, least of all with a meteorological stave?

[Lokasenna]

Have you ever seen the people who work at the Met Office? That also explains the accuracy of their predictions!

[dafydd manton]

Oh come on, how can you accuse them, just because they get it wrong most of the time, or forget to mention hurricanes? It's hardly fair, and anyway, 'ave you seen that Sian wotsername?

[Astromaxis]

Wostername is the law of infinite possibilities - it'll be sheer ignorance to dismiss them as nothingness!

[Sapphire]

If there are infinite possibilities, all has to be nothingness as nothing can have meaning when everything is possible. So to dismiss it as nothingness is not ignorance, but necessary!

[Astromaxis]

To love ignorance as necessity acknowledges infinite possibilities as nothing can mate with anything - paradox rules!

[dafydd manton]

Can't agree with that, mate, you can't mate with a paradox.

[Astromaxis]

How do you know you are the mate of your mate if you call others mate?

[dafydd manton]

I never try to mate with my mates, except my mate, because my mates are male, mate. I also know that a paradox is like an umbrella but for keeing the medical profession off you, unless they happen to be mates.

[Astromaxis]

The medical profession dissect mates who are male thus you mate with males for sure

[dafydd manton]

Cobblers - I've never been dissected. I know that, because if I had been, I'd have been cut up about it.

[Astromaxis]

But aren't you already cut up about paradoxes and since you are not cut up now you claim you are in the infinite paradox

[dafydd manton]

I never claimed nuffink!

[Lokasenna]

And that in itself is a claim!

[dafydd manton]

'Ere, you can't claim that I claimed a claim, when I never claimed nuffink except the sunnink what I claimed to make the claim when I exclaimed that I 'adn't made no claims, for which I received acclaim.

[Astromaxis]

But isn't your acclaim based on a claim that you stated you didn't claim

[dafydd manton]

Some have claimed that, but this is in fact a ploy to bring down civilisation and make the Miner 49er King, and his darling Clementine Princess, first lady and possibly queen. Stands to reason.

[Astromaxis]

But isn't the Miner 49er opposed to reason and isn't Clementine Princess dating Big Brother

[dafydd manton]

Big Brother is a drag queen, and should be called big sister. Her real name is Eric.

[Astromaxis]

But then the 49er is also dating Eric aka Big Brother too LOve Triangle be surfaced

[dafydd manton]

Yeah, but the 49er started off singing Waltzing Matilda, so knows all there is to know about solitude, to say nothing of Jumbucks, Billabongs and Koolibar Trees.

[Astromaxis]

HEy the Clementine Princess does Bad Romance and 49er and Eric are her dancing partners

[dafydd manton]

But isn't dancing just something to do for those who are too thick to listen to the music properly? Nobody ever dances to Pachelbel's Canon in D, now, do they?

[Sapphire]

It is in the dance that you hear the music properly. Only then does it moves all through the body and into the soul. It is the combination of the senses - touch, seeing and hearing. Not just hearing. So dance is essential when experiencing music.

[Astromaxis]

Yes but then dance and music are half-siblings now there is trouble in the monarchy!

[dafydd manton]

The Crowned heads of Europe rarely go to raves these days. They have servants to dance for them - Foxtrot Pursuivant and the Master of the Frug being the main two.

[Astromaxis]

Foxtrot Pursuivant is all hammered and does beats as though drug addicts can sing "Bad Romance" and he is also dating Clementine Princess

[dafydd manton]

Clementie Princess is an imposter, and works in a third-rate dive in Salt Lake City, Utah.

[Astromaxis]

But then Clementine Princess is the new babe in the greatest scam ever

[dafydd manton]

Yeah, but she plays it badly. Terribly wooden, doesn't really know her lines and that tiara doesn't fit her, either. Films would be better being replaced by theatre.
