I’m sorely disappointed in the number of smart arses on here today vs the number of clever dicks.

Did it really need a ‘philosopher’ to say something as self-evident as that ?

Probably not, but |I think one did. It would be useful for me right now if I could quote them. I just can’t do that if I can’t rememebr who it was.

In fairness, I have, in relation to the NOTW phone hacking, heard at least one comment today which is directly attributable to Josef Goebbles, but the orator refused to accept that.

It was the one along the lines of incarcerating 10 innocent men or letting one guilty one live freely.

So some of the above may not have been sofar off the mark.

Sounds a bit like Goffman’s notion of the self – from a very distant memory.

Try this link it’s pretty good for “quotes”

Rather depends on when it was said, doesn’t it? Much of what we consider obvious today had to be figured out by someone in the past and become part of the general body of knowledge carried by society.

good poitnt molgips and STW is doing our bit to further this pool of knowledge. One day no one will ever ask what tyres as it will just be known
