Notice he said "she".

 

This is the classic response to the paradox. But the problem with this response is that you reformulate the syllogism by introducing a different varible, i.e, an alleged lack of understanding. It is a closed syllogism.

 

This is getting way to deep for me!

 

Again..... this is way to deep for me!

I'm a simple person.... Give me a S2000 and a curvy road and I am happy!

 

And a beer and a bear!

 

I don't think you can call this the "classic" respond. There have been many responses to the paradox from biblical apologist to proof of the impossibility of omnipotence.

At any rate, you misunderstand my response. Any lack of understanding on our part is immaterial. Saying that logic would be an impediment to an omnipotent being is just one more "unliftable rock." To be omnipotent is to be unlimited by anything, including logic so a syllogism cannot apply.

 

 

Dear Ron:

At a movie theater which arm rest is mine?

I don't mean who owns it... but which one am I allowed to use?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Ron:

Another question that keeps me up at night....

How far east can you go before you're heading west?

These is no one answer to this question and often, it is like the drivers ed teacher tells you about a four-way stop sign intersection, a matter of common courtesy. However, here are some guidelines.

If you have an empty chair on one side, and your seatmate on the other side does not, use your uncontested armrest to a allow them an uncontested arm. If you both have open chairs on the other side, tend to alternate unless it becomes clear your seatmate prefers her uncontested side.

When on a full aisle, remember that 90+ percent of people are right handed and will tend to use their right-hand armrest. You should do the same. Left-handers should remember that "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one."

If you wind up beside an ambidextrous seatmate who is trying to have it both ways, take advantage of the unguarded section of the armrest. Even if your seatmate has their entire forearm resting on the armrest, there will sometimes be a couple of square inches open or they will shift at some point to provide that small opening. Plant your elbow in that beachhead and then just concentrate on gaining ground with each small move of your opponent's arm. In a surprisingly short time, you'll have at least half of the armrest to yourself and, often, the entire rest as your clever tactics cause complete capitulation and withdrawal from the field of battle.

Thus are heroes made in these lesser days.
