"Stating that such and such are "ideal" or "absolute" simply because you say they are leaves no interest for me. Hey look! "A cow is a hunk of meat!", "wet hands are wet", "it is good to be good!" See...I told you that ideas were "ideal" and "absolute"! It is just in situations that things are no longer ideal. And this is one of those situations. Have fun, Jewels. We'll touch base some other time on topics where you are not so touchy... Ideals are absolute and you have shown that you have sufficient capacity to recognize the simplicity in that. "simply because you say they are ... It seems you are giving me credit for stating the obvious but it is not simply because I say so, but simply because it is, and is recognizable by all sensible human beings.. ...and that situations are viewed subjectively according to the unique view point of individuals. Everyone here seems comfortable with that statement. It was only whether or not situations are referenced by some unchanging ideal (an absolute) that was up for discussion. This is all I have been arguing over the proliferation for days and days of you trying to grind something else out of it. When we had accomplished this fairly early on, I declared that I thought we were done. If you wanted to mark that and move on to argue the implications for other arguments, like origins, then you simply need to say so without trying to tell me that I have already done so. If I choose to argue origins, or any other tangental concept, I will say so and base my argument on my own perspective, not what you declare is my perspective.
