Truth....
tell me

what is truth?


Do we even know what it is anymore?


It was so simple at one time... it was or it wasn't.

Has popular culture, legaleze, and far fetched reasoning infiltrated our language so much so that we cant see the fucking truth????


I think that when you say something, you should fucking mean what you say!!!!

If you can't remember what you say, then you should record it or write it down or hire someone or some such shit

but you have to mean it, or your are lying... it is that simple.

If I say I have never been a member of the communist party, then I have never been a member of the communist party

if I say I have never told someone to do something in particular, then I mean it

If I say I have never done something in particular, then i had better not have done it.

If I have, and someone can come along and prove me WRONG, then I HAVE A PROBLEM....

so truth, as nebulous as it may seem to some who wield words around as if they are meaningless, is estabishable even in a court of public opinion as truth when the evidence to the contrary 0f a statement shows it to be on its face BULLSHIT

Of course, one can hide behind the issue of "calling out" and say that they are being called out. that is probably what keeps a lot of bullshit from being scrutinized here. Or the tactic of "what are you doing, stalking me?" to hide the fact that someone has saved your words, or they are easy to find.

In the electronic data age, unless you have access to alter your own words once they become part of an electronic record, may falter an fumble along the highway of broken logic, but hide behind the arguments above. However, that is in thi venue. there are venues that the rules here don't apply, and there, your words can be googled, displayed in a court (either of public opinion, or a real court) and the word becomes TRUTH....

1. We live in a society where truth doesn't matter much of the time
Winning is all that matters.

3. If you want the truth, it's stops right here.
But "truth" is awfully hard to find on DU. Don't be surprised if you don't get it on 2nd, 4rd, 4th, 5th try.



You need to find very particular people if you want to finally find what is actually true. And those people are very,, very rare.
