Shambles nitpicking at the specifics of one of my posts?? Why, this has never happened before...
You seem to have mistaken nitpicking for fuindamental flaws in attempts at logic, Raas. Why, that's never happened before either...

Right-Your on ignore.

Marmz you are extremely welcome for the books. I hope you enjoy them. Shambles will back me up in our shared opinion that 'Only forward' really is a bit special...surreal and wondrously and imaginatively so, with the added capacity of real humour thrown in to boot.
Bollocks. Objective reality exists, and we exist within it. Our perception may be faulty, but we can correct for the faults. We can build measuring instruments to overcome the limitations of our own senses. And the measurements we make agree, which is consistent with the existence of an objective reality. It appears to behave deterministically, as long as you study sufficiently large chunks at a time.Everything around you is false. Colour, sound, form. All determined by you brains reception.

Don't you just hate it.... When someone gives you a clear inbox thread... you delete 10 messages... then the next day, you look forward to your nice gay sex offer...
AND IT DOESN'T ARRIVE!!

Don't keep me waiting, it's not fair...
And where is raas?
sorry raas, only just got in from a crazy four hour waste of time searching for lost bank cards after work. I'll send the PM now, but after all the build up, it will be a major disaapointment, in fact it wont even be the same one i tried sending you last night..
The one doesn't follow from the other - your first premise is an assumption making any conclusions you reach also assumptionsEverything around you is false. Colour, sound, form. All determined by you brains reception.
What is true, is the spiritual energy that emanates from such perceptions....
.... or something. I'm not the one on acid here. Enlighten us SM/PTCH

If it comes down to the question of there being a single objective reality in which we all exist -- as Sid the Sexist might say, "it's the same reality we get in Newcastle" -- versus everyone experiencing a different reality which just coincidentally all happen to look exactly alike, Occam's Razor favours the former.
