Thanks to Stephan this was our most popular thread...so I beat him to it and revived it:

Would mentioning unmentionables make them mentionable?

Then, it would be unmentionable in the first place, technically.
But, then it would be still unmentionable if were according to aestheics or the standards of society.

Are you asking a question or answering one?

Couldn't it be both?

A lousy quote of mine:
-Life is an experience that never has any reality because whatever is reality, is but another's perception.

Perception is merely the interpretation of reality. So all reality is the root of all percetption. Perception is the key to experience and experience is the foundation of and for life itself.

Or is perception the root of reality. It is just like the case of the line and the point.

"Dr. King wants the same thing I want. Freedom."
Malcolm X.

"I want Dr. King to know that I didn't come to Selma to make his job difficult. I really did come thinking I could make it easier. If the white people realize what the alternative is, perhaps they will be more willing to hear Dr. King."
Malcolm X, in a conversation with Mrs. Coretta Scott King.

Was the man a genius or what?

But you don't have the coolness of my avatar and sig (I've decided that I don't really need the link to stardestroyer.net after all). :twisted:

Still the amount of power you're wielding is...impressive.

Btw, why did you delete my intro post? Didn't want me to get all attention?

Have a very nice day.
