THIS STATEMENT CAN BE ARGUED.

Sorry if something along these lines has been mentioned.

edit: I see it has.

How 'bout: 0+1=1

I hate math, yo.

I suck so bad at math, I'd need a golden calculator to divide (to divide) the time it takes to realize, that real guys go for real down-to-Mars girls. Yeah.

So is there anyone here who can argue that 0+1 does not = 1? If so, I would very much appreciate it.

Perhaps it can be done like this:

0+1 equals 1-0."

And perhaps it can be done like this:

Perhaps your "1" to the left of the = sign is actually .999999999999 X 10 to the gazillianth power. Just rounded up and stuff -- as would be spacially prudent.

And yet, your "1" to the right of the sign is the real deal type of 1 -- the real shebang, el numero uno -- a thoroughbred "1."

Them thangs ain't equal no more, though they would, in all practical cases, remain the same as how you first presented them:

1=1.

Took me 3 posts to argue that crap, because I suck so bad at math. But still, it was argued. Right?

So. If Kangy has 3 posts, and Sally takes one post away -- then gives two posts back; and, if Billy calls "BULLSHIT" on one of the two new posts, then sends another one to ~Elsewhere~ -- then how many more posts before someone will post "something in this world that can not be argued?"
