What is scepticism?

Scepticism is healthy, whereas cynicism is the Devil.  I don't believe in the Devil.

OP, I'm skeptical of your motives.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

You are welcome to your scepticism.  It is up to me to prove myself.

It was the best of the year and I don't think that I can see it as an excuse for the next few weeks of school tomorrow and then you have a great way of the year and I don't think that I have a great way of the day before I get a follow back.

I can press the predictive word feature on my phone over and over again, too. :Big Grin

Scepticism is a lot like skepticism, except spelled by people so fucking busy making new threads that they can't be bothered to spellcheck titles. Or by limeys. One of those. Tongue
