Your entire post was you paraphrasing an event that occurred but that doesn't excuse your improper use of quotation marks, which is what we've been talking about this whole time.

Just accept that you misused quotation marks, I do that shit with commas all the time.
i never misused quotation marks

you're an idiot

go back to grammar school

I proved you have, you haven't disproved it in any way and have given up.

It's good that you're still enrolled in school.

Way of thinking is literally in the definition.
there are right ways of thinking, and there are wrong ways of thinking

you might think 2+2=5 (wouldn't be shocked)--that is a wrong way of thinking

you might think women don't deserve rights--that's a wrong way of thinking

you might be a solipsist--that is a wrong way of thinking

philosophy is about who is right and who is wrong

Philosophy - a belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school.

Huh. It's like people can believe different things and that there is no right answer.

Really makes the act of pondering a subject quite appealing.

You don't actually know, and that's the point.

You have no fucking clue, you just think it was semicolons.
if i didn't have a fucking clue, i wouldn't even be able to guess

i wouldn't even know he made the mistake

the point is that he made a mistake, and the mistake he made isn't important

hence

paraphrase

Verb isn't trolling, he's just upset that someone is smarter than him, so he refuses to accept it

i just don't know the exact phrasing, hence the paraphrase

So you're just going to keep being wrong then...
what a fantastic response

sorry, but i'm afraid you're the one who's wrong--YET again

What direct quote from batch did you use? I'd like to see the thread if you don't mind.
lmao i'm not gonna dig through batch's post history for this

the whole reason i PARAPHRASED him was because i was too lazy to find the initial instance in the first place

so i PHARAPHRASED him for the sake of clarity and getting the general point out there

Can't paraphrase something that you don't actually know.

It would be like me paraphrasing a book I've never read but have heard things about.

We like to call that supposition.

Explain to me how you were varying the usage of the word semicolon.
semicolon, noun--a term that batch may or may not have misused in place of another word

that simple

I feel like their are certain rights every person is born with and that it's everyone's responsibility to uphold these rights.

Ask slash how he feels about that.
just because you DISAGREE on a subject doesn't make it subjective

scientists disagree with each other--they have different theories about physics and the nature of reality, and sometimes, two different theories will conflict with each other

one of them is right
one of them is wrong

it's the same thing with philosophy

Philosophy is an outlook on life, outlooks being subjective.

You weren't paraphrasing the actual word he used because you have no idea the actual word he used.
that's what makes it a paraphrase

you really need to try harder

A paraphrase is when you take a direct quote and rewrite it for clarity, not ignoring source material and making shit up.

Supposition.

You are guessing what word he used, not giving a synonym or rewriting it for clarity.
i guessed which word he used for the SAKE of clarity

making it a paraphrase

you should probably kill yourself--i've never destroyed someone this hard before

You weren't paraphrasing the actual word he used because you have no idea the actual word he used. Guessing and paraphrasing are two different things.

He could have misused the word testicle for all you know.

You really need to try harder.

You weren't using it in an unusual way, you were just misusing quotation marks.
"other expressions that vary from standard usage"

If I were implying you were an idiot by calling you a "genius" I would be using the word in an unusual way.

You aren't varying the standard usage of an expression just the quotation marks.

Also that wasn't a paraphrase, it's supposition.
it was a paraphrase, because i didn't know the exact quotation, so i embellished it with what i thought was said without detracting from the main idea that he mistook a punctuation mark for something else

you lose, again

express the meaning of (the writer or speaker or something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity.


You are guessing what word he used, not giving a synonym or rewriting it for clarity.

There is a philosophy that you are the only actual person and that everyone else is a figment of your imagination.
yes, it's called solipsism

solipsists are either right or wrong--it's not a matter of opinion

i, for one, am not a solipsist, and the fact that i experience life in this corporeal form basically confirms that, from my perspective, that all solipsists are wrong--if solipsism were true, there could only be one solipsist

There's no right or wrong in philosophies.

I feel like their are certain rights every person is born with and that it's everyone's responsibility to uphold these rights.

8a. Quotation marks are often used with technical terms, terms used in an unusual way, or other expressions that vary from standard usage.

You weren't using it in an unusual way, you were just misusing quotation marks.

All Verb is really saying is that the idea of being dead will be nice to him now.

But when he's dead he'll just be dead.

Which is an opinion.

And in this thread you still see a wild verbatim displaying his usual behavior of confusing fact with opinion.

Truly breathtaking.
philosophy is not a matter of opinion
god you're such a retard

YES, philosophy is a fact-based discipline. Philosophy is the process of describing reality. There are ACCURATE descriptions of reality, and there are INACCURATE descriptions of reality. That's what philosophy is all about. There are no philosophies that are about personal opinion. That's NOT what philosophy is about.

For example, there either is or isn't a god. There can't be a god "in your opinion."

There is a philosophy that you are the only actual person and that everyone else is a figment of your imagination.

It was incorrect to use them as you weren't actually quoting anyone.
1. quotations are not the sole purpose of quotation marks--if language were that simple and black and white, we wouldn't have gotten anywhere
2. i was quoting batch when he thought a first-grade punctuation mark was called something else

you stupid fuck

You're right, quotations can be used in other instances http://m.grammarbook.com/punctuation-rules/quotation-marks.aspx.

You met exactly zero of these qualifications however. Moreover you weren't actually quoting batch as you are unclear of the actual word he used incorrectly.

If I thought batch said jugnuts I wouldn't put it in a quotation because it's what I think, not a direct quote.

same thing you experience before you're born, etc.

AKA absolute perfection, bliss, sublimity, peace
Well it can't be bliss or sublime because you don't have the capacity to feel that when you're dead.
which is in itself blissful and sublime
Read the definitions of these words
read into what i'm saying

the thought, the idea of nothingness is blissful and sublime to me

i realize that, according to what i believe happens, you don't feeling anything, period--but me, sitting here right now, contemplating that idea from the outside, it seems wonderful to me
It seems sublime now, but not when you're dead.
it doesn't need to--it just is, factually

You're not even trying.

also, you're probably the closest to an illiterate on this forum

you have no grasp of grammatical structure, you misspell the same words constantly (meaning they're not just typos--you genuinely just don't know how to spell), and it's been shown time and time again that you don't even have the basics pinned down--i remember when you thought quotation marks were called "semicolons" or some shit

That sentence didn't need quotation marks.
