/lit/ - Literature

They're the type of people within whom the words "vanity fair" conjure up nothing but a magazine.

>emotionally and impulsively accuses others of being unserious

That was not my argument against the term, and I have presented my logical argument against it above (which you are not bothering to engage with).

>Let's start off with an example. You take a piece of paper. You expose it to a flame. The paper burns and afterwards turns into ashes. The original paper can no longer be recovered, nor can it be synthesised, because it has undergone a chemical change.
>The paper is the thesis. That which you start off with. The flame (or rather, the action of burning which is produced by a flame) is the antithesis. The thesis and antithesis stand against each other and turn into the synthesis, a byproduct of both.

>He thinks 'modern' means progressive.

makes you think....

Books for brainlets? My partner is a real meathead and I'm trying to introduce him to the joys of reading. So far he's read and enjoyed some autobiographies about sports players and soldiers but I was wondering if /lit/ could suggest something a little more abstract, but that would still appeal to that type of macho mindset.

For the record, we agreed that we'd both try and pick up some of the other's hobbies so please don't accuse me of disrupting his peace and quiet with my shrill wailing.

>You only ever put off the problem of explaining the basis for your criticism via synonymity.
Gee, perhaps this was because all you ever did was ask me to define words and then complain when I told you that an endless chain of defining things would never lead to substantive debate, and then you whinged for about an hour because I refused to define things.

And lo, when I finally give in and define things for you, you complain that all I do is define things.

It's a good thing I was never more than half committed. You were and remain a waste of my time.

Sure is a lot of coincidences. And any anti-jewish stats are anti-semitic and thus unlikely to exist.
