Thanks,

Yes, it has been determined to be a last-second barel roll.

Pretty simple. Its full of demonstrable blatant contradictions, so

say that if they get solutions that are contradictory, they first
check the input for errors and then rerun the program.

I didn't claim that *only* when a *solution* is *apparently*
contradictory that the thing is false. I said when we get
contradictions. This implicitly implies that there exists a *verifiable*
contradiction at the deepest level.

Of course, it is trivially obvious that the contradiction must be real.
i.e. the equipment and all that stuff is verified, so why should this be
stated?

Contradictions are NOT proof of falsehood, they only speak to the
need for further research.

If a contradiction is real, it is indeed proof of a falsehood. Your
arguing about whether or not the contraction is real or not. This is
assumed to be the case from the outset. If the contradiction is not
real, then we don't have a contradiction. Dah...

IF all scientists had the view that you
have we would NOT be able to communicate this way and bumble bees
would not fly.

Unfortunately you don't understand the views of scientists, or science.
Your certainly way out of date on the theory of bumble bee flight.

The secularists have been chipping away at the word Christmas for a number
of years now and are substituting irrelevant (religious ??) concoctions to
diminish the value of the celebration of the birth of Christ. Isn't it
time
we begin boycotting those merchants who in their TV advertising are
exploiting the Christmas tradition yet not acknowledging that this is
truly
the Christmas season. The code word "holiday" season is coming into
increasing use in an effort to minimize the influence the Truths that were
taught by the Prince of Peace.

but holiday just means holy day so that is no better for us evangelical
atheists.

So, how come the salvation army bell ringers are not ringing the bell

.
How will we give to the poor if nobody is ringing the bell?

There are hundreds of ways to give to the poor without handing pocket
change to bell ringers.

Personally, the bell ringers didn't bother me, but the stores can't say
no to the krishnas and yes to the bell ringers.

Keep your sticky fingers off our Yule. We (humans) were celebrating the
Winter Solstice thousands of years before you traduced the teachings of
Bar Yussuf.

Traduce? Is that like promulgate?

Indeed. Mostly we would be happy if the Christians would agree to "you
celibrate the holiday your way, and let us celibrate it our way" phylosophy.

An object creates the meaning of a word. Changing the word does
not change the object.

You can't include everybody. You shouldn't even try.

Yes, you can. That is the whole point.
 
Lucky those who can choose between holiday and Xmas.
Possibly employees, nothing-doers and slaves.
There are others to that these couple days at the
year's end mean a lot of work can be done.
Eg me : selfemployed, the days are never long enough,
the weeks are not not long enough and the year is not
long enough to do all the work that has to be done.
The 25th is family day, the others are work days.
