Him, however would argue that math is not a language neither was it created by humans. He'd say math is larger than humans and humans merely attempt to decode it. In fact, he'd say math is God. (or something like that).

But whatever.

the abstract "MATH" is larger than humans, but the notation system/language of the science of Mathematics is purely a human creation.

2 + 2 = 4

II + II = IV

The Catholics for Free Choice group isn't. That's one vocal group amongst many.

[Rob Instigator]

true, but that is a small minority compared to the vast armies of catholics bearing a new kid every 10-11 months

[Glice]

Rob makes sweeping statement.

Glice parries.

Rob counters with another sweeping statement.

Glice realises that this is a silly game.

[Rob Instigator]

I was never referring to the small minorities within the catholic church. I was talking solely about the official dogma stand, papal edict, against birth control of any kind.

[Glice]

You said 'the entirety'. If you'd said 'the official dogma', I wouldn't have been a cock. Now you've made me look like a cock in front of my friends. And I'm on my period so I look fat and bloated and MY HANDS LOOK LIKE FUCKING WATERMELONS. I'm going to be single forever aren't I? GOD I NEED SOME CHOCOLATE.

Yeah, dude, because the difference between men and women is like the difference between humans and elephants.


Rob is the worst back-peddler.

[Rob Instigator]

huh?

was talking about mathematics there, not diff between men and women

[pbradley]

Oh, okay, so you were entirely irrelevant.

(by entirely, of course, I mean mostly)

[Rob Instigator]

forked tongues?

Ok. The "women=men" remark was not directed to you; I thought it was somehow appropriate in this thread.

what is math if not codified notation system?

the numeral 2 is math

2 apples are not math.

[Rob Instigator]

people ARE depressing.

I'm not some outlandish pervert like the majority of this board (hahahah I'm kidding) but sometimes I DO feel shame about how I view women. I mean, there's so much more to them than how they look and I feel guilty of concentrating on the physical aspect.

Some of my favourite people are female but I can never see it past my masculine instinct. : \
