Philosophy Now Forum

And I don't mean kitty cat! Today at the Masters Golf Tournament, British golfer Ian Poulter called security on a heckler who didn't like his stupid-looking outfit and said so, and had the man ejected from the golf course. They shouldn't even let limeys into the tournament unless they can prove they actually have balls that aren't hit with a club, which Ian Poulter obviously doesn't!

In what universe is this philosophy?

The lounge is general chit-chat, idiot! Besides that, what's the philosophical basis for the hoity-toity Masters Tournament kicking somebody out of its venue for making a sartorial comment?

There was me, after 4 full words and one hyphenated, thinking that I hadn't quite understood your comment. Good thing you added that last word on! What a terrible, terrible mistake I made! It's good to be called out on it with such fervour!

I understand where you're coming from (that goddamn England, where people stick a "u" in "fervor"!).

You never know who knows what, Ian Poulter could be a killer, but he just thought to himself "let security deal with it"

You mean that England where English came from? That one, where English is the amalgamation of Saxon and Norman, i.e French and German. If you hate it so much why not just stay with your Nordic roots and not speak it?

Long live American English, the standard of the world!

'God' help the world then.

All of a sudden you've become a godbotherer, huh? Well, you are absolutely right, but you did have a minor typo -- you obviously meant to say that "God helped the world then."

See, that's what we meant when we said that new words get adopted before they make it into the dictionary. Pity you missed the implications of the speech mark though.

John, when are you going to stop sucking up to that he/she?

I'm just pointing out that you seem to struggle to fully understand Arising whilst I don't. Whilst I think my interpretive skills are pretty good I don't think they're exceptional so maybe you should work on yours a little.

Still not looked up or clicked on this link about "Confirmation bias" then?

As with your words above you have just aptly demonstrated it in action.

You do understand what the speech marks around 'God' mean don't you?
p.s.
Nice to know you're getting the hang of what a godbotherer is.

Just a shame I'm not one.

John, maybe you should go into special-needs teaching since you seem to communicate so well with Arising.
