Re: Death By Theory [Re: Gomp]
    #3329863 -

I know, Gomp. I'm just trying to clarify where the confusion arises from for you. The word "broke" is past tense. You're still speaking of events that have already happened. You cannot alter the past.

The comparative difference would be to say that, DURING the event that caused your leg to break, you COULD do something differently so that your leg does not break. That would be present tense.

The difference between "broke" and "break" is the same difference between your two cited examples.

You could. But, as I just said in PM, we could stay here all day semantically bickering about the meanings of each word.. but if we do that, we would never have the intended conversation on the subject at hand.

exactly?

ahaha you kill me
:grin: :thumbup: :heart:

you said: "Gomp, in the example he quoted you failed to use past tense terminology. Therefore, you were expressing that the present cannot be different if one desires it to be. (which is false)"

what I could be saying is, yes, but that is only one of the possibilities? why shut outh the other's (if you do)?
if i had used past tense terminology, it would be something completly different now would it not? and it is not :P so no one failed to do anything, it was done :P was maybe the point i could be making?

Unfortunately, while I see where you are going with this, at the same time the language barrier between us is preventing me from firmly grasping your point... so I'm just gonna have to duck out of this conversation at this point.

Peace man.. don't take it personally, I just can't understand what you're saying.

""preventing me from firmly grasping your point""

what is preventing you from firmly grasping 'my point'
could be that i do not present it as a point, i make point's (atlest i see them myself offcource)
this language barrier between us, could be just the language?
what could be going on is you are trying to isolate one point of it, when there could be so many? :P
but this is off topic yes?
