This thread is to demonstrate that anything can be debated endlessly, regardless of how absurd what your debating may be.
The example I am choosing to use is my computer.
The challenge is to you! Any of you who wish to actually debate.
The claim:
My computer has a soul, and can think for itself.
I welcome all half witted challengers, as well as the truly scientific minded to convince me, that my computer is nothing more then a pile of electronics and plastic.
Virus programming. /thread
so your fragmented sentence is your debate? Try not to over analyze the subject would ya?
A - Define a soul.
B - A machine overrun with strong code can act on its own volition.
C - There is nothing to debate.

A - I didn't say give me an opinion from a book. I said define a soul. You were speaking of your computer first having, then not having, a soul. Therefore, your entire thread is a pisstake designed to validate your purpose on the board, from your own perspective. Shallow gene pool, with gerbils drowning in it.
B - I made no mention about where virus code on said machine came from. Branching from your answer was your own mentally deficient decision, not my own. Thus, you are arguing with yourself. Again, Shallow gene pool, with gerbils drowning in it.
C - Flat Earth Theory is not my theory, and thus what you think about it has no relevance to my reality. I do not believe the Earth is flat, therefore what you think is, again, a gerbil, drowning within the shallow pool of its genes.
D - This thread belongs in complete nonsense.
