I love this idea.

Figure out what you believe and stick with it. Don't go buggering up other peoples' ideas.
Sounds lovely.
Now if only the majority of people could actually do that...

Sadly it won't happen. I have no illusions of that.

NO it wasn't. Perhaps I should have been more clear.

Yes, you should have. But if that's what you meant, then no, there is nothing directly contradictory to truth in assuming something doesn't exist if it hasn't been adequately proved to.

The definition of argue is 'present reasons and arguments'.

'argument - a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true'

So you don't want to present facts or reasons, but you still want to babble? :eyebrow:

Oh, I love potatoes, but much prefer rice with lamb.

I've never asked, does LG like soft tacos or the crunchy kind?
