Now, I am a vague attempt at a rational human being. I do my best but more often than not I am wrong. The following set of words is one I was instructed to post upon arrival, I hope you enjoy it.
I've never had Tim Horton's coffee before. Does anybody know what that is
And, as a pedant, I immediately noted that the second one is not TECHNICALLY a coherent sentence as it has no full stop, exclamation mark or (the only one that works) a question mark- SOME PEOPLE eh?
I like debate, really any kind of intellectual discourse is pretty bitchin', however I despise dead horses and beating them only causes them to fall apart more quickly, so I don't do it. If a horse like "free will" or "objective morality" is long since dead I am reluctant to participate in any discourse over the topic. Otherwise... anything goes!

Welcome to the board. +1 for joining. (We have this silly thing called karma which allows people to say whether or not they like your posts.) Tim Horton's is a donut chain in Canada. ^-^. Sells like hot cakes here. (I'm from Canada we have lots of Aussies, some brits, Americans and even a few other Canadians around here. I'm the guy invited you actually. ;) ) I glanced over at your first few posts. I love them. Great fun you will bring to board.  <--- We have a emoicon for dead horses and strawmen -->  |

How do you perceive the color red? Is that the same as other people's perception? Can a computer program experience this too. Neuroscience advances and we link brainwaves to perception. Qualia? Y/N?

Hi DrObswolovitch, welcome to our forum, thanks for signing up. Smart is good but sometimes overdone when things get a bit emotional around here (eg I am no fan of intellectual snobbery!).
Your member name has a nice ring to it :)

^ That is an excellent avatar idea! I like it. Dr...I didn't realise you were a teenager, my Dr Dr welcome might have been completely over your head.  (it was a song from the 80's) |
