If you think about it, nothing is something. If nothing is something, then it is part of everything. But nothing and something and everything differ. But, nothing is something, even though it's not a solid thing. If nothing is something, it must be part of everything.

Oh Oh that is just like if practice makes perfect but no one is perfect then why practice. People say humans are perfect with flaws and practiceing will get rid of your flaws then you think you are perfect but therefore you are unperfect. So people should origianlly say you are perfect the way you are don't practice or change the saying to practice makes better no perfect.

Hm...after reading your threads, I noticed that you two pretty much said the same thing a couple times in a row to stress a sole point - because one thing exists infinite things exist, and because there is no point to practice you practice anyway to make a point.

Yes I like to make things seem more complicated than they are and also to back up the thesis.

Yeah, kind of like that. I have another one, actually...My cousin and I came up with it. When there are people of different races together, and they all greet one another, they say: "hello," "konnichewa" "bonjure" and "hola" but, what are they really saying? You might say that they're saying "hello", but they aren't. When someone says "hola" they aren't saying "hello". So, my conclusion is that there is no middle ground, language actually doesn't exist. No one's saying the same thing. I have another one, too. I got it from a philosophical book... In order to start, one must stop. In order for peace, there must be war, in order to creat, there must be demolition.

My rebuttle is - Language does exist, people are too stupid or egotistical to work out a common language, so there are multiple ways of saying the same thing. In order to start, one must at one point have done nothing, because you can not stop without starting. In order for war, there must have been nothing, so arrogant people like myself rise to the top and kick some serious ass. In order to create, there must have been nothing.

To the book ones, you're exactly right. But the main point of the other one is that no one actually says "hello." They say "Bonjure". "Hello" and "bonjure" are two totally different words. So, whatever someone says, they aren't saying the actual word "hello".

But they mean the same things, so we're both right - even though my argument makes a hell of a lot more sense
