@FireEyedMaidOfWar as far as I am concerned you're talking a load of bollocks

[liverpoolmatt87]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar I don't give toss about your recitements, you're better off doing that in church or in a mosque. you should know that action is louder than words mate.

@FireEyedMaidOfWar Just because you contradict everybody doesn't mean you think independently from others. You sole action of continuously contradicting others proves only what a dick you are. And do bother contradicting me cuz I really like to contradict you.

“Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! "Have courage to use your own reason!" - that is the motto of enlightenment.”

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@liverpoolmatt87: No you are a lemming and among human beings you would make a fool of your self by saying so; and in order to cure your delusions about obeying the majority I will invoke the German philosopher Immanuel Kant about the meaning of the term enlightenment in order to show that such a behaviour is an obscene insult against the human mind:

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@lcmiracle: Your ignorance is amazing: In the said jest there was only shown a photograph of a lion shown and any disguised persons; and if the Pythons will ever become classical comedians is doubtful, as their fame begins to wane even in their latter days; though certain enthusiasts may still give them some immortality but in 200 or 300 years one will know more and if their jests and plays are staged them still like the ones of Aristophanes or Moliere then they will be classical.

[liverpoolmatt87]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar I didn't confess to anything, I'm just stating common knowledge that whenever there's a concept a majority will rally behind it and they usually do outweigh the minority. Normally people would go for the majority...especially in a decent society....that's the reality of it. oh btw I'm human not a lemming ;)

[lcmiracle]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar ...so, while well known to be a surreal comedy group, that makes them classic comedians. You sir, are a loser.

P.S.: The lion which was mistaken for an anteater which was mistaken for a tiger was in fact two guys in a tiger costume.
