Surely it's a tree belonging to Sophie?

While it's nice when I come across someone who agrees with me on something, the joy is mild and brief. True personal growth only comes from debating ideas with people whose ideas are different, sometimes even radically different.

I agree with you, but I don't think most people here are worth debating. It's mostly just sophistry and argument evasion, or worse name calling and heated statements.

Hmm, certainly seems like a form of evasion and name calling to say that everyone here is a sophist, or willing to argue with you, and thus is not worth debating.

Quite a paradox you've put yourself in.

Let's face it. I'll eat crayfish but they are not nearly as good as shrimp. Plus silver seems to be up over $22cdn.

I agree.

I try to engage in worthy debate and/or discussion in this Forum. I have had a few of these with a few of you. Thank you for those.

Unfortunately. most people in this Forum and in Global Chat will engage in

sophistry and argument evasion, or worse name calling and heated statements.

No no, the tree is Soph.

by **jonesthecurl** on Sat Aug 17, 2019 11:12 am

I'll give her a ring.

Good idea. Chicks dig jewelry. Not my wife but most of them.

Sophie's tree took over the discussion.

Have you even seen a narwhal in real life?

I doubt it but to be honest my knowledge of them is very limited.

This Narwhal flew:

Poor thing. Would have liked to see it live to a ripe old age.

Try this one:

Hell, even, Sophie's Choice:

if you need a little fiction.

A choice between two Sophie's:

show: Sophie Simnet

show: Sophie Turner

If you think that the correct answer is Sophie Simnet, and you'd enjoy her company after the apocalypse, Netflix has just the series for you.

by **nietzsche** on Wed Aug 21, 2019 2:53 pm

what's that series?

i love the apocalypse theme. and she looks fine.

by **Dukasaur** on Wed Aug 21, 2019 2:59 pm

Can't I just do both?

I feel like this should have been a poll... I think I pick Simnet, Turner is hot but she looks stuck up. Simnet has that girl next door thing going for her.
