(March 1, 2013 at 7:55 pm)The Germans are coming Wrote: YES exactly. Everything you wrote here isnt worth a damn. Let alone worth reading, right after the moment you used the sentence "If naturalism is true". Thereby taking the possition of being the high judge on what certain mindest are and determening what their consequences can only be. I might have problems expressing it in the english language but in german we call it "hochnäsig" or maybe even "totaler Wahrheitsanspruch" or even "Halbwissen" which could translate to "asserting to know everything about something whilest one actualy knows nothing about the subject one is talking about".

I think in english one uses the term "mental masturbation" which is used here only by bavarian comedians "geistige masturbation"
Wow! You sure showed him!
