I bought a blueberry pie from a local orchard last Sunday.  It made it to Tuesday.  My daughter and wife joined me in contributing to its' demise, and we were happy.  May have to go and get another pie today.

I'm kinda partial to the Very Berry pie, myself. :hyper: O-)

Checked the website. Nothing like that out here. I'm jealous!

The Very Berry pie sounds really good, warmed up with vanilla ice cream melting on top. Just add a big, steaming cup of black coffee.

I believe it.  The shame is that nobody has had the guts to articulate and then post in this thread an actual objection to the first post in this thread.  However, I remain hopeful, and will return to this thread at some time in the future.

You can run back to DU and tell them how stupid we all are here, isn't that what you are going for after all?
We just made it easier for you to do so, because we don't care what a bunch of social misfits think of us.

If you want to have a serious discussion, use the forum properly and post your discussion in an appropriate forum.

You're taking yourself far too seriously, little fella.

It's OK, though. We more than make up for it by not taking you seriously at all.

Reread the thread. The answer lies before you.

The DUmpster is a forum to showcase the idiocy of the left primarily from DU but other leftist sites are included.
There is also latitude given as far as a poster making challenge to lurking DUmmies calling them out on their endless hypocrisy.
It is not a forum to discuss philosophy so please don`t do that.
There are other forums here where subjects like this can be taken up.

When I went to Riverview, all they had were a strawberry rhubarb, a raspberry, and a blackberry (all pies, people).  The strawberry rhubarb came home with me.  It's almost half gone now.  My wife really likes it, and our daughter doesn't mind it either.

I have some questions for you to post on a board that welcomes questions about Objectivism.  Feel free to post your own revised version of these questions.  If you wish to, then of course I cannot prevent you from linking back here to explain what motivated you to post the questions.  However, I don't provide my moral sanction.  I am hoping that it's possible to get answers to the questions themselves, regardless of how people might feel about things that I have written in the past.

Questions:

1.  Is Goldbach's conjecture "arbitrary" in the same sense that the assertion "God exists" is said to be "arbitrary"?

2.  Is it possible for there to be evidence supporting the claim that Goldbach's conjecture is true?  Alternatively, do the following four cases exhaust all possibilities?  
A. Goldbach's conjecture is known to be true,
B.  Goldbach's conjecture is known to be false,
C. There is no evidence supporting the claim that Goldbach's conjecture is true, and no evidence supporting the conjecture that Goldbach's conjecture is false
D. There is evidence supporting the conjecture that Goldbach's conjecture is false

If you aren’t interested in how (other) Objectivists or students of Objectivism might answer the above questions, then please nevertheless check back later.  I intend to post additional questions (on other topics, but for Objectivists) in this thread.

Hmmmmm,  I wonder what it is that separates us from the animals?    Ayn Rand never developed past that point in her thought process.   

I'll pass thanks.

Its the development of...PIE that allowed mankind to leave the caves and open little cafes all over the world.

The first translation from one language to another was, "Do you like Pie?"

Fact: Only man can make pie. Other species may enjoy eating a pie, but no other species can make a pie.

We are free because we have pie. You will never find all the varieties of pie in communist countries because they are enslaved...Pie is only for the ruling elite, not the people. Further, no one ever put pie in the face of a commie official.
