You're not thinking about the meaning behind the words. As I said, it's false. There was a time when you cared less than you do today and therefore to say that you couldn't care less is false. You could and did care less at one time in your life.

To say the phrase in a logically correct way you would have to qualify it by saying something like -- "I couldn't care less, unless I didn't care at all"

Again, just because you know something to exist, does not mean you care in the slightest about it.

Could the caring/not caring topic be moved to its own new thread. It is really annoying and I don't want to put the posters on my ignore list because when they are on topic I value their thoughts...but, this is as bad as the Tammy message board right now.

Meanwhile, the nonsense you babbled is lost on me.

You may have missed the posts about it in this thread, but at one time, there was a long standing A&M tradition of Corps of Cadets members collecting their ejaculate in jars. These jars were burned at Bonfire, you know, that Aggie tradition that resulted in a bunch of people dying? Women were not allowed to stand a certain distance from that bonfire unless they had slept with a Corps member. Women who had not slept with Corps members who tried to approach the fire were shoved to the ground and physically forced away.

The point of that story is to illustrate the utter insanity of Aggies. Once you understand that these people have severely misplaced priorities and have a track record of anti-social, irrational behavior, their seemingly illogical moves in regards to conference affiliation are easier to understand.

Oregon State adds Nicholls State to 2012 Football Schedule

2012 contest between BYU and Oregon State...

"Oregon State was scheduled to play at BYU on Sept. 1, but it appears that the game will be moved down the schedule, delayed to another season or canceled altogether."

Why, that's odd.

Interesting. I thought id heard BYU wasnt exactly having great times getting great home games, i think thats a great sign for them coming to the big 12.

Meanwhile, "at one time" infers this is something that's in the past - as in no longer takes place.

So again, it's reference/link to the current conference realignment decision by A&M is lost.

You're implying all things that can be cared about would have a unique level of caring, where no 2 things can be equally cared (or not cared) about.

No knowledge = no possible way to care, other than a general caring about all things unknown -- like fear of the unknown.

Now that I know about it, I would claim that I care an amount equal to the amount that I cared (didn't care) when I didn't know about it.

I'm implying that by knowing about something you therefore care more about it than you did before you knew it. I don't believe you can care as little about something as if you had never heard about it ever again unless you actually lose the memory of it. At the time you make the statement "I couldn't care less" you have to remember and know what you are talking about, otherwise you couldn't make that statement.

For example- let's say I put a leaf on your lawn this afternoon. Today, you go home from work and don't notice it. Your care about that leaf is at the absolute zero of care. You don't know about it and you've not devoted a single moment of your time to it. Tomorrow morning I post on CF that I left a leaf on your yard. You find out about it, but you really don't care very much at all. A leaf being on your yard doesn't have any meaning or impact on your life. You move on with your day and never give it a second thought. You still care (or did care at the moment I told you) more than you did before you knew it was there. You devoted at least a split second of thought to the leaf and therefore a least a split second of care to it. You are now (or were briefly) at 1 degree Kelvin of care. As soon as you forget about it, you're back to zero. Simply by taking the time and energy to acknowledge the issue, you now care more than you once did.

Sorry.


aTm was bound to leave. It would be intriguing if they didn't get invited to the SEC.

Can those of you that can't let this go find another place to play "hide the sausage" with one another?
