Oh...I AM SO SORRY.I should have known better. How stupid of me. What was I thinking?! I thought Noitall was some crazy freak person who leeches onto other peoples lives to manipulate things with any means possible. I had NO IDEA that was Noire/Blacky (yes...I was told THE Blacky...well-known Ex-member of Voivod's girlfreind) How could I have been so stupid?! Yeah...Cthon...Good buddies with Mez told me this...that for some unknown reason...The One and only Blacky and his girlfreind Nia post on this bb...Although I can't for the life of me figure out why he would do that. Go Figure.

It is only by registering how a language is used that we can make it our own. How do we do it? Before we have an idea of truth or error, before the advent of concepts of propositional thought, there is a rudiment of communication in the simple discovery that sounds produce results. Crying is the first step toward language when crying is found to procure one or another form of relief of satisfaction. More specific sounds, imitated or not, are rapidly associated with more specific pleasures. Here use would be meaning, if anything like intention and meaning were in the picture. A large further step has been taken when the child notices that others also make distinctive sounds at the same time the child is having the experiences that provoke its own volunteered sounds. For the adult, these sounds have a meaning, perhaps as one word sentences . The adult sees herself as doing a little ostensive teaching: "Eat," "Red," "Ball," "Mamma," "Milk," "No." There is now room for what the adult views as error: the child says "Block" when it is a slab. This move fails to be rewarded, and the conditioning becomes more complex. This is still pretty simple stuff, for nothing more is necessarily involved than verbal responses increasingly conditioned to what the teacher thinks of as appropriate circumstances, and the child finds satisfying, often enough. There is little point in trying to spot, in this process, the moment at which the child is talking and thinking. The interaction between adult and child in the ostensive learning situation described provides the necessary conditions for the emergence of language and propositional thought, by creating a space in which there can be success and failure. What is clear is that we can only say the child thinks something is red, or a ball, if it appreciates the distinction for itself; the child thinks something is red or a ball only if it is in some sense aware that a mistake is possible. It is classifying things, and it may have put something in the wrong slot. -

While attempting to take a sentence or two of Miss NoItAll's post for reference for my own, I deleted the sentence I wanted referenced. Not only that, I've informed the forum friends that "I like to read myself". That conjures visions of a man sitting around reading himself, whether he has text on himself or not. Believe me folks, after changing two heating elements and a thermostat on a hot water heater last Saturday and still taking cold showers...I feel as stupid as advertised. All that shrinkage talk is true. It's bad enough actually taking the cold shower, but then when I look down, well damn, I just hope I win the battle with the water heater soon.
LOL! That's hilarious (as if you didn't know what LOL meant). Good luck with the water heater! BTW, y'all might think you's SOUTHERN, but Houston is geographically more South than every city except Miami.
