Thread Name: BS: Is TRUTH subjective?
Subject: RE: BS: Is TRUTH subjective?
What is truth?
How many of the available answers would you like to hear?
Salesman's truth:- Whatever I can persuade you to believe, based on your lack of knowledge of my product.
Strong man's truth:- Whatever I say it is, and if you call me a liar I'll flatten you.
Politician's truth:- Whatever I allow you to see and hear through the media (and I control media output).
Voter's truth:- Whichever part of the argument best fits my personal needs and prejudices.
Child's truth:- 1. (Incoming) Whatever Mum and Dad tell me.
2. (Outgoing) Whatever lie will protect me from being punished.
Now, what was that about truth being absolute?
Dream on.
