Fairly Long...

Fairly long post, considering how long I haven’t been around… ah, well.

.:Philosophy Can Be Funny:.Apparently, Mr. Bulaong couldn’t help but keep up the notion that debaters are an inferior class to philosophers. While I’m not too inclined to disagree, one has to realize the fact that I’m not really that much of a debater, per se, if only for the ( Read more... )

-5 = -5 (Basic equation.)
25-30 = 1-6 (Just another way of stating the above.)
25-30+9 = 1-6+9 (Add 9 to one side, balance this by adding 9 to the other.)
(5-3) squared = (1-3) squared (Both sides are perfect square trinomials.)
square root of (5-3) squared = square root of (1-3) squared (Get the square root of both sides.)
5-3 = 1-3 (Result of getting the square root of each side.)
5-3+3 = 1-3+3 (Add 3 to both sides to cancel the -3.)
5=1 (THE RESULT.)

Ah, but the fallacy here is that the square roots of (5-3)^2 and (1-3)^2 should both be +2. ^_^ Still, it works in Algebra.

I suppose someone already showed you 1+1=3?

5-3 IS NOT EQUAL TO 1-3.

Sacrilege!

Bobby B?

Please. His essay for Pilosopo Tasyo was just impressive form-wise. Content-wise... it's not impressive.

He might be smart, but I am not totally impressed. The guy disguises cliches through ornate wording. Ah well.

I'll just roll my eyes if he emerges as your batch valedictorian.
