the truth hurts Nancy Pelosi's feelings. Everything runs on petroleum. do you expect these people to admit that our civilization doesn't run on education and health care? What a lark! STOP THE CHINESE LOANS! you can't fix the virtual with the virtual. you can't get out of debt with more debt! no more Band-Aids. Stop the lies of Ron Paul and Obama. GOLD is virtual too. END THE CNN/NYTimes/PBS energy company conspiracy. they want to sell petroleum to China! stop them now and end the public relations and diplomacy talk. of course they want there to be no truth. they think our economy runs on knowledge and education. It isn't always about perception

In an economy where everything is credit and fraud... I find it uncanny that those who voted to borrow more would be against truth. NYTimes says perception on the economy has improved. Time for Truth Fred. the Marta Aggregate failed it's relativity test. Stop printing more money! Stop borrowing from China! Tie the Dollar to Petroleum and shut Nancy Pelosi up. We fail because we pretend energy isn't our unit... BUT IT IS! Not GOLD. VOLTAGE! Time for Truth

"there is no absolute truth, just your truth and my truth." hmm. Interesting. If your truth and my truth do not coincide and in fact, contradict one another, does that cancel actuality? Can you imagine all the criminals that would benefit from that defense? Oy.

I'm with kidmercury. Journalism once aspired to fair and equal presentation of objective facts. In this election cycle, journalism utterly and spectacularly collapsed. Now all we have is "the world according to..." Great for a book or even a blog. Sucks for the Fourth Estate.

Even though, I think we'd be going the whole way if we would proudly say that there IS one truth, and that it equally belongs to everyone. Having said this, we all have a responsibility towards our world and surroundings.

for you the equation is only as good as it's appeared transparency. People of this kind hide behind obvious flaws in the system... but the system is not transparent because there are some things that are better for the average Joe not to know. Would it be better if during the "Superbowl" it became apparent that we were heading for a nuclear Holocaust like what happened between Gaza and Israel this year? All it would of taken was one missile to Dimona. Would it be wise for a government to clarify this truth? Yes the Steelers won this year... thank g-d the biggest controversy was during the game, but the real winner was those that want to reframe the context of history. Taking a video off this thread like you did and using it out of context is more of the same. I will be watching you like a hawk now.

Chomsky admitted there were WMDs in Iraq. case closed when they found some Uranium south of Baghdad.

it is ok to mention 911Truth. people are no longer shocked by it. it is a meme that is past it's influence. 911Truth is the joke of history. I wouldn't dialog with it though. It has no place even in a temporary equivalency.

guys like Karl Popper thought they were slick because they put everything in relative form. truth is not an equation. you can't sample and compare out of context and convince me.

hey Geo... truth did not come with the first printed book, nor did it come with the second printed book. (which was pornography by the way) ....truth came when you could get a free bible in every hotel room and free porn on the internet. now there is some arbitrary truth I can get excited about. the problem with "Liberal" post modern thought is it is dependent on an orthodoxy of pure logic and science... which is the true bastardized satanic religion. It is only by getting away from logic, that you realize g-d. It is by assuming that your logic, aggregate or sample is g-d when it is in fact an idol, that so called truth fails. you don't have to reject Judeo Christian thought and look elsewhere for some kind of text that claims multiple truths, when you realize that the truth is not a book, but is g-d. the very concept of hating idolatry was to protect monotheists from cold logic and materialism. the "Neo" liberals and "liberals have not let go of their materialism. History is truth... and it is not a science. The only science happens when one dude is holding a gun. People accept history based on intuition of living history. It is truth and it does not need to be objectified. If you take a sample of time and capture it. without allowing dialog.. that is a "real" act of violence. To reject the bible and find another thread where other people can't comment... that is public relations.

Marta you bring me into your issues with my school? I had nothing to do with you being fired. I was not in some kind of cabal against you. you were the person I spent the most time with. you were fired because your sense of reality is clearly lacking. you were a professor. I was a student... and yet somehow you think there is an arbitrary truth about the fact that you were the one with power. I wanted to know why you were commenting on friendfeed to me. I followed you here. I did not realize you had such an axe to grind. I would not of let my guard down if I had known you were on the hunt. you think information is only the truth in how you present it, but clearly you have no sense of reality.

The most common "truth" that has been mentioned to me in the past several
days (by about a dozen people) is the holocaust. The holocaust deniers are
clearly getting under people's skin. But even that has some upside. The
reaction to the deniers is to curate museums, make movies, write books, and
permanently record the events so that they remain fact/truth

Torture is always wrong and do unto others are truth to you and me, but not
to everyone

It helps me to remember that when I am tempted to get all curmudgeonly about
those sorts of things

Well said. I agree with you on this

the economy is healthy Mark. there is only arbitrary truth when one dude wants another dudes gun.

Thanks Fred. But I think the word liar is too harsh, and I wish I could think of another that was more aligned with what I intended. I do think it is important to separate the idea of the truth from the actions of humans "we" observe or experience. And it is clear, the truth can only be assessed through history/ies.

Did the Dow go up or down yesterday? There are no ascertainable truths that the media has to get right?
