    Actually, yes. That is a great scene.

    That is what I was trying to say to him (?) but you said it better!

    ETA: Now that I reread your post, I think you read me wrong. He was saying that emotions and feelings are just a series of electrical impulses. I was responding that if that is true, then what is the point of anything?

    What thrusters? And why would we be humorous or metaphorical? That is not literal!

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Literal and metaphorical have the opposite meaning.

    Yes, and I responded to that:
    Even if there's no "point".

    Maybe it has a point, maybe there isn't. The orgasm makes it all worth while! :lol:

    I'm a little stumped as to how HIjol can now appear to agree with eyeresist.

    Also, just to state for the record, I'm sure there's a fart joke somewhere in PhaserLightShow's confusion about thrusters, humor, metaphors, and 'literal.' I just couldn't come up with the right one. If I can't come up with anything within ten seconds, it's not gonna happen. Jokes are like sex that way.

    I suspect some of these confusions are caused by use of the ignore list, which can change the apparent context of a post.
