Semantics - How You Bore Me

Semantic discussions yield no fruit. Just accept what someone else calls themselves so that an actually interesting discussion can proceed.

Despite being theistic I highly enjoy your videos. You're not out here trying to incite any anger, just stating your opinion. I enjoy listening to opinions so it's a welcome relief from the pure hate videos that just leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. In regards to this video, it makes sense. If we're arguing over what food is best and end up discussing the meanings of vegetarianism, vegan-ism etc then our previous discussion really isn't moving forward now is it?

@silas2 Exactly it doesn't go anywhere. Thanks 8<{D-

The meanings of words matters. Semantic discussions can be where all the heavy work is done... I hate BionicDance for pooping on me and also for making semantics such a graveyard.

[Orygyn]

@WorthlessLoser8 For communication purposes, I agree. All I'm saying is that arguing over what words "mean" is fruitless because it's based on a misunderstanding of how language fundamentally works. The discussions over what you're trying to do don't fit that description because you realise that property of language and you're actively trying to get a meaning changed. BD and her opponents are just arguing over how people choose to label themselves.

Right on. We are in the same camp. I don't watch BionicDance anymore. I fear her head will roll right off her shoulders after a poorly executed jumpcut and head turn. XD

Btw, did you know lady means bread? XD

[Orygyn]

@alowlyapprentice I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know 8<{D-

[WorthlessLoser8]

@Orygyn

yeah..

[Orygyn]

@Russell192Talks Thanks, it might be a while though.

@Orygyn after watching his video again it seems "poe" would seem logical. You're awesome, can't wait to see your next video bro.

[Orygyn]

@Russell192Talks Thanks Russell, much appreciated. To be honest there's too many alarm bells about that video that just scream "poe". I don't do pwnage much anyway but if I even suspect someone of being a poe there's no chance. It would take more than a few comments to explain why but maybe there's a topic for a video in there. Either way, thanks for letting me know about this.
