For the sake of argument and because it is what we do here, lets assume…"

Tiago Martins replied to Timothy Docster's discussion 'Truth v. Fact'"I tend to look at these terms in a specific to global relation: thruth refers to a more large portion of reality. "The earth is round". When I'm, talking about facts I'm refering to all correct, real statements that are…"

Timothy Docster replied to scLovely's discussion 'What's Your Pet Peeve?'"People who chew with their mouth open. It's outrageously disgusting and quite frankly, the sound produced when it is engaged in gives me the urge to cut out their tongues.
More importantly, people who cannot accept when they are wrong. Or when…"
Timothy Docster replied to scLovely's discussion 'Pornography'"Here are my thoughts:
For the most part, pornography is fictional. Porn stars are actors (albeit, very bad actors). Do I experience life any less fully because I watch a movie or a read a book? No. Do I inhibit a relationship by viewing pornography?…"
Timothy Docster replied to scLovely's discussion 'Monogamy'"I'd agree with that. As long as I NEVER found out and there was absolutely nothing emotional about it, I'd be okay with it.
