Sure they do; they just understand that they can't prove their correctness to others anymore than others can prove their correctness to them, so saying "I'm right and you're wrong" is an exercise in futility, even if it's what they believe. true exceedinglyrare Posted at 8:47 am on Oct. 5, 2008 Quote: from justin1990rm at 3:50 am on Oct. 5, 2008 Quote: from exceedinglyrare at 5:21 am on Oct. 3, 2008 Generally speaking, I think it has less to do with political correctness and more to do with the acknowledgement that anyone who says that he knows 100% that he is right, without a shadow of a doubt, and 100% that others are wrong, without a shadow of a doubt, is lying. so noone really believes in anything?

Omnipotent Pontiff Posted at 3:21 am on Oct. 5, 2008 Political correctness is way overboard. I should be able to say or do things that other people may find offensive because it is physically impossible to be non-offensive all the time. Maybe we should try to have a little tact and not blatantly attempt to offend somebody but being pc has no place in this world. Especially to the extent its gotten today and when it's applied with such bias. justin1990rm Posted at 12:50 am on Oct. 5, 2008 Quote: from exceedinglyrare at 5:21 am on Oct. 3, 2008 Generally speaking, I think it has less to do with political correctness and more to do with the acknowledgement that anyone who says that he knows 100% that he is right, without a shadow of a doubt, and 100% that others are wrong, without a shadow of a doubt, is lying. so noone really believes in anything? justin1990rm Posted at 12:49 am on Oct. 5, 2008 Quote: from Clouse227 at 8:07 pm on Oct. 2, 2008 Quote: from justin1990rm at 7:27 pm on Oct. 2, 2008 Paradox    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia    Jump to: navigation, search    For other uses, see Paradox (disambiguation).    Look up paradox in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.A paradox is a true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition; or it can be, seemingly opposite, an apparent contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual truth (cf.

Don't oversimplify the matter to simple math equations. It isn't a very good analogy. truth cant be subjective, it contradicts itself Look up the word "Paradox." justin1990rm Posted at 7:20 pm on Oct. 2, 2008 Quote: from Clouse227 at 7:18 pm on Oct. 2, 2008 Truth can be subjective.
