Assuming the accusation were true, I suppose it's no worse to let others do "very basic thinking" for us, than to stubbornly cling to one's own prejudices and refuse to listen to what others have to say on matters.

There's nothing wrong with learning to use logic and reason and to think critically, as long as you can do that then it probably shouldn't matter what you read.Gary Childress wrote:Assuming the accusation were true, I suppose it's no worse to let others do "very basic thinking" for us, than to stubbornly cling to one's own prejudices and refuse to listen to what others have to say on matters.

Acording to Occam's Razor, because you’re a clown.Why would, or should, I treat this as anything other than a joke, when you never answer a question (properly)?

Loaded questions are questions that create the boundaries of a world into which the answers sought must be crammed, and without a respondent’s need or incentive to untangle that bowl of spaghetti world you gets what you gets, and if you’re smart you’re thankful for that much explanation from life that owes you nothing.

Is Buster Brown still making shoes? I've always liked their logo, with the little dog.

You're asking about Buster? Rumor has it ...
Well the government guy wouldn’t swear to it because so much time has passed and it could have been a cousin, but during a Department of Health inspection of Santa’s workshop he said that he spotted an elf that looked like Buster but older. Elves are fast, which is how they make all that stuff, so he no sooner saw Buster but he was gone, and though he didn’t put it in his official report the inspector privately confessed to a third party that his perception may have been a delusional apparition. May have also been a non-delusional apparition, but who knows he's not a mind reader. He tried to check the records but Santa said they had a fire and lost the records, and being a sharp agent the government man immediately tuned into the possibility of Illegals getting paid under the workshop table, so to speak, so he just passed along the info to higher ups for political consideration, seeing as Santa is known to have an in where it counts and the inspector is a career man grinding it out … which is why out of selfish self-interest (just keeping it relevant) he didn’t mention the bribe Mrs. Claus invited his way once she caught wind of what he onto, or what he found in the back room labeled “Storage Closet” that made him think Santa might be mixed up in some kind of, what was that again, Scientology you say?Dalek Prime wrote:Awww, nooooo!!!

Well, that was instructive. (Santa's not real, by the way.

Aww muffin. You weren't happy with your own response?Walker wrote:I thought it was interesting at the end, when the word wont turned up.
In this case the apostrophe doesn’t alter the definition.
You won't answer henry's appropriate philosophical question, as is your wont.
The answer to your question about cobbling was merely an appropriate response to wontless participation, and after all, it's participation and not mere reading that defines existence under these conditions.
