FALSE!!!
The CORRECT version of that statement is:
Quote: "Did you know that 100% of people that read this sentence, AND COMPREHENDED IT, can read?"

A two year old could read that sentence, but that doesn't mean they would understand what the letters meant.

I never said they should comprehend it, I only said 100% that READ it, can read.

Yeah. It's truly painful. Having to cut off thousands of your body parts every few months. There has to be a better alternative to a haircut.

Why do you always feel the need to exaggerate?
There's no such thing as a "rare, shiny, blue and green MIND CONTROL penguin!" It's only legends... fairy tales. If you really had one of those, you would buy germany and install a big robot dog in every chimney across the country. It's what you do.

I call them potatoes, peeled, cut up, (usually) frozen, placed in heated oil and fried.

Either that, or "freedom fries". Lol, remember that? "Freedom fries"?

Yeah, but if money brings them pleasure or self-gratification, it still makes them hedonists doesn't it?

I suppose. But what of martyrs? Does sacrifice or suffering give them pleasure? One could argue that altruism could be considered hedonism. But what of egoism? Are these two opposing philosophies both linked under hedonism?

Especially martyrs.
They must feel so good about themselves doing what they do, not physically maybe, but surely mentally.

Quote: "One could argue that altruism could be considered hedonism. But what of egoism? Are these two opposing philosophies both linked under hedonism?"

Possibly, the defition on dictionary.com suggests so. Maybe there's a better and more in-depth definition somewhere that excludes altruistic people and such.

but if;
Waffles > pancakes,
pancakes > crumpets,
crumpets > waffels,

Does that mean the world is part of the matrix????????????????????

so waffles can be made into
#
waffle = (green falling text) + (bullet dodging)
--------------------------------------
over being shot in the crotch

All this can be summed up as
waffle = owning

So everyone's a hedonist since our decisions are fueled by the desire to be happy, even vicariously. To tell the truth, I had just learned the meaning of the word when I posted that first time, and have been playing devil's advocate until just now when I had the time to read the wikipedia article.

You've won this time, Grandma. Truly you are a master-debater.
