There is no such thing as truth and facts. Truth is always dependent upon perspective and facts are always interpreted according to that perspective. That is reality.

For instance. Is a gun that will open up, but only under excess pressure defective? Who can say? Some would say, that a gun that will open up at all before completely blowing up is defective. Some would say that it isn't the gun but the load. Who is right? Mostly a matter of opinion I would guess. After all, a somewhat excessive load is foreseeable as that even factory ammunition makers sometimes make mistakes. On the other hand, how can a firearms manufacturer be responsible for someone making a bomb instead of a cartridge?

"Truth? What is truth?"


If you ever want to know what it looks or sounds like when an attorney had run out of rope and lost an argument, this is it.


I haven't lost an argument. My point is/was proved. I merely responded to a guy who said he wanted the truth and facts.

Adults realize that truth is highly subjective and that facts are malleable things. Children still live in make believe worlds of their own constructs.


Petulance doesn't help your case, counselor.
