This is a hit from the height of the gigantic shoulders i am actually standing on very far down into the thin carpet Chipit hasn't even the balls to simulate herself finally jumping from into the

endless abyss of her inner emptiness.

Not even if she hallucinates herself a parachute.

Metaphorically this is Dr. Manhattan squeezing some virtual micro-balls.

And the pyramid she hides behind is completely useless in this case. Because lightning naturally strikes from above.

Proudly executed with the help of some wiki-admins though, i'll openly admit.

Next thing i'll do is turning this into a ball lighting that haunts her to the borders of her carpet again and again. We'll see who has more patience. I hereby promise.

Thought terminating cliche.

There it is.

I never knew it had a name.

A lot of accusations of thought terminating cliches, are in fact, thought terminating cliches themselves. Even the garbage Wikipedia entry, utilizes this technique, along with some implied techniques of the same, to inject biased partisan political attacks into this article.

Just because it is paradox, doesn't imply it can't be true. Most of human behaviour is paradox. It is like a nature's law.

An axiom. Like the law of gravity. Which also is paradox when looked at from certain point of views.

But so far it is the best "description" we have.

I invite you to find a better one. Democracies "lifeblood" is participation. You mostly are only whining.

This is conclusive. But it doesn't help anyone. No "progress" in you comment smellable so far, so to say.

Diabolical.
