How many R&P'ers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

[c4ts]

Well?

[AmateurScientist]

You forgot "There is no lightbulb."

Also, "Change supervenes on the incandescence of the physical structure and processes occuring within the 'bulb' as the materialist defines it, which is something which needs explaining, but fails to grasp that the 'bulb' could conceivably lack whalliciousness, which of course would make it a t-bulb."

[AmateurScientist]

D'oh! I see you did include "The Matrix" answer. Sorry.

[AmateurScientist]

How about, "The bulb burned out long ago. We've all been sitting in the dark. We just can't see the truth."

The bulb doesn't need changing, heretic! It is exactly as God intended it to be. I don't care that you dislike sitting in the dark, this is God's plan for us and who are we to question Him. As a show of faith, I call on the devout and righteous to go out and buy all of thelightbulbs you can get your hands on and then smash them so that the evil lightbulb changing sinners can not destroy the world with their heresy.

SO GET ON UR NEEZ AND ASDMIT U R A SINNER, BCAUSE IF U DO NOT CHANGE THE BULB U WILL GO TO HELL JUST LIKE IT SAYS!

[neutrino_cannon]

Can't you see, you can't change a lightbulb, it would require a decrease in the level of disorder in the universe. All lightbulbs were made in place by God when he made the universe two weeks ago.

[schplurg]

How many people who frequent this board does it take to change a lightbulb?


1 to make the claim the lightbulb needs to be replaced
1 to ask for proof that the bulb needs to be changed (with links)
1 to call the previous person a leftist commie for protesting that the bulb should be changed
1 to defend the accused leftist commie, asking "Why do you want to replace bulbs? Don't you have any feelings?"
1 to ask for proof that a new bulb would actually be better than the one currently in place
1 to tell everyone else that heat from lightbulbs can cause global warming
1 to respond that all the shadows (or "cool spots") that light creates will negate any global warming possibilities
1 to claim he/she can produce light without heat
1 to call the previous person a troll
3 to make smart-ass comments like I'm doing now

11 people. Am I missing any? ;)

1 to hijack the thread with an absurd claim
36 to explain that the claim is illogical or unreasonable
3-4 to defend the hijacker
0 to bring back the subject that the lightbulb needs to be changed

Oh, I see you've included them already.

[scribble]

I don't think serious R&Pers ever screw. They're too busy debating.

At least I know *I* never get any...

[evildave]

Have we already covered the fact that the bulb needs to WANT to change?

[Skeptoid]

You're going to need 3 - 4 people to start threads about some of those who are discussing the light bulb issue.

[Loki]

Premise 1 : Light Bulbs are made of atoms.
Premise 2 : The Double slit experiment disproves Dungeons and Dragons.
Premise 3 : No mental predicate ascribing a light bulb can be derived from purely physical statements.
Minor Conclusion : Catholic priests avoid light when dealing with young boys.
Premise 4 : TLOP controls light bulbs.
Premise 5 : Compatibilism asserts that lightbulbs are not invalidated by determinism.
Major Conclusion : Scribble really needs to get laid soon, or else...

[scribble]

Hahahah

:P

[arcticpenguin]

I am abstaining as there is no response for tacos.

[evildave]

Well, several have to post recipes when the "discussion" gets silly.

My recipe for toast: put bread in toaster, push lever down.

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

What has a light bulb done for me lately?

~~ Paul

Is how a bulb dies as important as the way it lives its life, or more so?

[UnrepentantSinner]

How do we know it's not a p-bulb?

[Loki]

How do we know it's not a p-bulb?
Because a p_bulb would lack any sense of the experience of being changed.

[UnrepentantSinner]

:D

Because I said so. Are you really that ignorant, or are you just being difficult?

I am always laid when on this forum unless I am sitting:D

OMG it's true I haven't been laid for oh erm 4 days omg I have turned celebrate, sorry I'm off to join the nuns:(

[BillyTK]

(1) If TLOP controls me, why carnt it change the lightbulb while I watch telly (and drink beer and eat tacos, if applicable).

(2) If consciousness creates matter, and we carnt see the lightbulb ('cos it's dark) how do we know it even exists?

(3) I can only prove the lightbulb is not shedding light. Anything else is a matter of dualist superstitious conjecture!

(4) I'm determined not to change the lightbulb. Find someone with libertarian free will to do it!

[Upchurch]

What lightbulb is everyone talking about? I've been in the room for hours now and I've seen no evidence for this "lightbulb".

(Of course, I haven't seen anything else, either...)

[justsaygnosis]

One should interact with lightbulbs only when it's in one's MPB.
