/lit/ Rule #5

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
— Abraham Lincoln

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:34:45 2010 No.954820 This rule could benefit /lit/ greatly, unfortunately there's one road block: If you can actually understand that you're a fool you're probably wiser than most here, conversely a fool does not have the wisdom to know he's a fool.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:34:45 2010 No.954821 There's no point in thinking if you don't communicate your ideas.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:35:45 2010 No.954829 >>954821 How so? Does that mean if you were the last person on Earth there would be no point in living?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:35:45 2010 No.954830 ITT: fools

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:37:45 2010 No.954834 >>954820 Go on.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:37:45 2010 No.954836 >>954829 What is the point of thinking if you don't share? >Does that mean if you were the last person on Earth there would be no point in living? If there is, I don't see it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:39:45 2010 No.954845 >>954836 Fapping in public, bro. all the point I'll ever need.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:40:45 2010 No.954848 Old Honest Abe shoulda follerd 'is own rule

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:42:45 2010 No.954862 >>954845 There's no public if you're the last person on earth because the word public implies the presence of a population.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:44:45 2010 No.954875 >>954862 Fapping in a formerly public place, bro. All the point I'll ever need.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:45:45 2010 No.954877 I thought it was Twain who said that.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:46:45 2010 No.954881 >>954875 But if no one's around to see you what's so exciting about it?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:48:45 2010 No.954888 >>954881 Because I'm masturbating.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:49:45 2010 No.954896 >>954888 Then what does it matter that you're doing it in a formerly public place?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:49:45 2010 No.954897 >>954881 I don't know. Masturbating in the ruins of an ancient civilization has gotta be pretty cool. What's the difference between that and the last man scenario?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 23 00:57:45 2010 No.954931 >>954896 Because it used to be public and I'm masturbating there.
