Do you know the alphabet?

Shawnee123 · 08-30-2007, 12:40 PM

Recite it. Now.
What should we do with it? Explain your answers.

The interesting thing about the alphabet (any alphabet, really) is that we can use just a small set of characters to represent a huge range of sounds, and by combining them, almost any idea one can think of.

Compare this to Kanji, for example, and you can see that the alphabet is a great invention.

I'm voting 'yes.'

I disagree! I think we should use it to fashion blunt objects.
When people speak out in favor of the wrong things, we can bludgeon them with it.

YOU GUYS ARE OBVOUSLILY WRONG.

Think of the children, why can't you think of the children?

What are children, if not lumps of mashed-up letters?
Your precious alphabet is sucking the life out of our children.

So, babies are stuffed with alphabets, struggling to escape.

That explains the noise.

If you would follow the teachings in Da Book, you would know you are headed down the path to hell.
