I disagree!

[Lheticus]

Inspired by various reactions to the quote in my sig in the latest comic discussion thread. This one's simple: I'll state something obviously true, then TPBM will disagree and state an alternate belief. Then they state another obvious truth, then TPBT disagrees and states their alternate belief, and so on and forth to however large this thread is gonna get. (Obviously, the reason doesn't have to be serious--in fact, it preferably wouldn't be. In fact, make the reason as silly as possible, the only limit is your imagination!) Well, here we go...

2 plus two equals four.

[Jormengand]

I disagree! 2+2 is whatever big brother says it is!

Air is mainly composed of Nitrogen, with small amounts of other gases such as Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.

[Targ Collective]

I disagree. The air consists mostly of empty space.

The above fact is technically true.

[Zweisteine]

Lies! Blatant lies, I tell you!

The air is mostly composed of energy!


And everyone knows that energy is just another way to say magic!

[Woodzyowl]

That's preposterous! Energy is a type of tropical flowering plant!


Thinking about plants and energy, photosynthesis requires light to function.

[Duck999]

That is a Blatantly False Fact!
Photosynthesis requires photos that synthesize with each other.

:) is a sideways smiley face.

[Lheticus]

I disagree! Clearly, people don't know you can't enclose text in parenthesis and not have anything after a colon inside!

It tends to get really cold in Russia.

[Targ Collective]

I disgaree! Compared to absolute zero Russia's very warm!

Absolute zero is only reachable in theory due to quantum excitation continually warming even the coldest depths of space.

[Blue Ghost]

I disagree. Absolute zero does exist in reality. In fact, it is a constant occurrence in some parts of Canada.

You exist.

[smuchmuch]

No I don'

(The current poster seems to have vanished in a puff of logic. Thankfully a hastily scribbled note was found: 'the brain is the center of the nevous sytem in all vertebrate animals")

[Ninjaman]

False! The egyptians said it was the heart and they were very smart.

Google.com is a website.

[Duck999]

FALSE! There is only Giantitp.com

You posted in this thread.

[Lheticus]

NONSENSE! It was clearly his evil identical twin brother!

The moon is made of moon rock, moon dirt, and other mundane (for the moon) moon stuff.

Secret hint: If you say it's made of cheese, you fell into my trap! Muahahaha!

[Jormengand]

Nonsense! It's clearly made of cheese!

I just fell into TPAM's trap, because you have to fall into all traps, no matter how obvious, to complete the game.

[Lheticus]

As the maker of the rules, I'm going to say this one doesn't count because I want to give someone else a chance, but I need to say this and Jormengand's PM box is full...

NONSENSE! What you failed to realize is that saying that saying the moon is made of cheese falls into my trap was a setup for an even more elaborate trap to get someone to say something OTHER than that! And...you didn't fall for it, curses!

(I'm not even fully kidding here.)

P.S.: Okay, what IS it with people I try to PM having full inboxes? This makes 2 in a row...

[Scarlet Knight]

Poppycock! Inboxes always empty when the PM turns into the AM!

Of course there is a fine line between Saturday night and Sunday morning...

[ORione]

Don't be ridiculous. If you look at the average calender, there are five days between Sunday and Saturday. I for one consider that a bit more than a fine line.

Ice cream is traditionally served frozen.

[Targ Collective]

False! It is served *part* frozen, as a semi-liquid-semi-solid creamy substance!

It is always possible to create a more truthful answer rather than a less truthful answer until we reach Absolute Truth!... which is really rather boring.

[Zaydos]

False! It is completely uncertain that there is an Absolute Truth and varying philosophies have different opinions on it. Therefore it may or may not be possible to ever reach an Absolute Truth.

Anime is a word for animation originating in Japan.

[cha0s4a11]

That's absurd. Anime is *THE* word for animation originating in Japan.

Giving nuclear weapons to the Principality of Sealand would be a horrible idea.

[Dudeons]

Nonsense! Giving them to the Republic of Molossia would be even worse.

Abraham Lincoln was an awesome president.

[Lheticus]

Pff, what kind of awesome president doesn't have enough bodyguards to not get shot in a theatre?

The sky is blue, because of a thing called ozone.

[Scarlet Knight]

Balderdash! Atmospheres are incapable of feeling depressed!


The moon, however, does contribute to Lunacy.

[Lheticus]

The moon, however, does contribute to Lunacy.

I'm...far from certain that falls within the rules. How is this obviously true? For that matter, what even IS Lunacy?

Because, well there are rules in this game. (This sentence doubles as my next statement)

[Hexalan]

Rules exist only in the mind of those who would perceive and acknowledge those rules! I exercise my radical freedom to ignore superfluous regulations!

Cows are made of meat.

[Dudeons]

No they're not. All that 'meat' is just fermented milk that turned solid.

Half Life 3 confirmed.

[ORione]

That's ridiculous. Surely if it was Half Life 3, that would make it One-and-a-Half Life. Cause that's how multiplication works.

Water is wet.

[Elemental]

I can cite numerous studies that prove otherwise. Water is composed entirely of energetic particles of blue matter suspended in a field of tachyons. It would in fact, disintegrate your hand.


The Sun's light is the result of the fusion of hydrogen atoms.

[Targ Collective]

Half truth. It's way more complicated than that.

If you are reading and understanding this, you are most likely literate.

[TBFProgrammer]

I disagree with the probability assessment, to be able to read and understand without being at least moderately literate is utterly implausible.

Due to the relationship between space and time, teleportation is equivalent to time-travel.
