:?: I'm not seeing the difference at all if you simply remove the introductory words "I can tell you" which do not need to be part of the quote.

How can you not honorably admit that this is the SAME, Bill?

Well, I was quoting myself. And for that I used quotations.


I used quotations because it was an EXACT QUOTE of myself.


I admit the phrase is rather universal and I am sure someone else has stated those exact words.





...and I stand by those words. Even if I stand alone.

Since all principles are essentially empty of substance. There is no where for you to stand even if you wanted to. :wink: :lol:

Because one of his principles is plagiarism.

Stealing a quote from the news and attributing it to yourself Bill?

That's even lazier plagiarism than stealing content from imgur to spice up your rambling insane philosophical posts and claiming it as art.
It is bills art, because no one else thought about presenting and rearranging the contents that is our own stuff in the unique way that bill did.

We cannot steal from that which is our own. The dust that made you is the same dust that made bill...the configurations of the dust are always unique even though the dust is just dust. I like bills originality, it's his art and no one else can be the art that is bill.

I like the way you present yourself. I like where you are coming from.

You get me. You make your positions sound simple, straightforward, and you sound clear & focused in all of your posts.



I think you have a bright & wonderful future.

Ditto to what I just said.

And I stand by it!!

So if you create something you'd have no objection to someone else taking it as passing it of as theirs?

It can't be Bill's originality or his art under this thought?

~~~ Bill Wiltrack ~~~

How can you accept this sentence, or any other configuration of symbols as - yours?

Did you create the English language?, Syntax?, Context?, Thought?

What part of ANY word or sentence is YOURS?


YOU don't OWN ANYTHING. YOU have STOLEN EVERYTHING you think, do & say.



I can say ANYTHING you say and state correctly that WE BOTH STOLE IT!

YOU are nothing. YOU own nothing. Period.

Because I said them in that order and you did not and I can prove that I said them before you.

The thought.

The sentence.
YOU don't OWN ANYTHING. YOU have STOLEN EVERYTHING you think, do & say.
No I haven't as they were given to me and where I know that I'm expressly using another's words or ideas I quote or attribute them.

Still, there is some truth in what you say as ideas are passed but this is the difference between me and you as I don't cut/paste others thoughts as mine. You often ask why I don't start posts on a philosophy forum and this is one of the reasons as I've studied enough Philosophy to know that a large percentage of my philosophical thoughts have already been had, whereas you still blindly ramble on in your existential angst.
I can say ANYTHING you say and state correctly that WE BOTH STOLE IT!
No you can't.
YOU are nothing. YOU own nothing. Period. [/size]
You are wrong, I am something and I own myself and a few small possessions, although of the latter I hold no great desire about.

This is you.

The mind/imagination is the artist.
The material world is the picture.
These are seemingly separate - yet totally inseparable.
The artist is not in the picture- the picture is in the artist.

The picture is seen (artificial) but the artist can never be seen (real/natural)
The artist/natural is real. The picture /nature is artificial.

No thing has ever been seen, things are known by their image.
No one owns an image. Everyone owns an imagination.

The Wisdom of Dontbugme:

You are at your most hungry when fully replete.
You are at your most lonely when surrounded by your loved ones.
You are at your fastest when standing still and at your slowest when you run.
You can see the most when your eyes have been plucked out, and are blind when you see.
You are up when you are down, you are left when you are right.
My mother is the most alive when I killed her.
Is that the nice man in the white coat, or is his coat the darkest black?
Is he coming to get me? I am outside the van whilst being shut inside.
The hardest bars are but putty. Ouch they hurt.

I am at my most free when I am locked away in this cell.
