Lol @ the obvious jealousy in THAT statement. But i gave the link and she just cried b/c it's wikipedia. And then went off on a tangent about feminism. #igiveup

Oh yes, it takes an iphone to make me jealous! My secret is out!

On the flip-side, a quite many of my posts here are via my mobile and I still manage to quote and link to sources. If I can't manage it properly I come back when I'm on my computer. It's one thing to use wiki as a source tho to be honest it's not always legit, especially with hot-button topics where people tend to edit like crazy if they can do it. Even so, is it too difficult for you to synthesize wiki articles into your own words? It's not like they are written at a Phd level or anything...

I still don't see how its any different than what daisy did in the OP. All i was doing was giving a run-down of the basic arguments against NOMA from people in my position. It's a bit silly to derail your own thread over an editing issue; she could have asked for the link and i would have given it. But no, she had to be a patronizing ass

It was the first post and she wanted to share/discuss what she read there. That's just good form when starting a post. Especially since she posted the link first and then posted excerpts and labeled them as such.

You want to disagree and argue against her without using your own words and not posting sources or doing anything to indicate that you are quoting someone. It would be one thing to ask for sources when you are stating a position and someone asks you to back that position up. It's entirely another to copypasta entire articles without indicating you are doing so or even writing anything of your own. If you can't figure this out I really hope you don't do this with college-level papers.

I've never gotten below a B on any class paper. I think i made it very obvious that i was quoting those people. I clearly followed those up with a comment of my own. This is a forumn, not a freaking class assignment. Get real

It's hard to tell you are copypasta when you don't use these nifty things called 'quotes' or these even more nifty things called quote tags. Then there are these super duper nifty things called html links! The future is pretty cool man!

Tangent? Excuse me?

Holland, I asked you a DIRECT question and I have waited a whole day for your reply. Don't see one. I take it, then, you have none?

Thus, we see that your atheism lacks answers, in that case people might as well stay with religion. Right?

Here is the question again: Above, you have declared that labeling something a construct is "senseless" -- and I am asking you if you think structuralism and deconstructionism, Foucault and Derrida, are therefore senseless?

Yes or no? Because that is where I got that concept from, of course. I didn't invent it. You do know the connection between atheism and structuralism?

Are you just some fundie who started reading real books last Thursday? You sound like it.

If you aren't, could you explain your problem with structuralism? Are you a poststructuralist? Do you think deconstructionism is "cultural relativism" (which you mentioned earlier in the thread, although it is notable you spelled it wrong; don't those fancy iphones have spellcheck?) or a weapon against it? And why?

Because I think you have imbibed Dawkins and have little other real knowledge. But we shall see. You have just trashed two of the major philosophers of the world, calling one of their theoretical cornerstones "senseless"--so I am interested in hearing your thorough intellectual criticisms of your fellow atheists Foucault and Derrida.

I guess this means he doesn't have any? I win!
