No - implications usually correspond to things that people say. For example, my creative writing lecturer said of my work today right after I'd presented it: "you know that not everything you write goes into the final product". Please Fibby - you're smart enough not to take words at their face value. If words could only be literally interpreted, then we'd never get anything done. What did my teacher really mean to say - that is, imply? "I think that your particular presentation is not good enough to go into the final draft" --> which is perfectly understandable, and guess what! She didn't have to say it out loud, because there's something called IMPLICATION! Implication usually works against people who think they're being 'smart' by thinking: ha! I really think this, but I'll say it this way, then that other person can't say that I said what I was really thinking because I never said it out loud. You do come into contact with humans don't you? It's one form of human interaction. But hey, it's not like I'm the one who came up with the phrase "read between the lines". People don't have to be on guard - they usually know what their words imply. The people who think like the fool above think they can get away with implications just because it wasn't forthright said. It's pathetic behaviour, and I point it out and watch the... indignation that follows from having been sprung, then am quite amused how they use THE most PATHETIC excuses to cover up for it. Those people are gutless cowards - afraid to say it, but still want to say it nonetheless. Those[/i] types of people are more miserable than I am, because they're afraid of communication. So yeah, I would suggest that they take a gun and bite the barrel. >:(was that supposed to be an 'attack' on my lifestyle? Are you saying that I should die early for such 'miserable' way of thinking. You...have sick thoughts Fibby. I can't believe you'd wish me to die early just because I criticized the nature of your religion and caught you out on your words. That's just despicable and disgusting and you're an utterly vile and horrid person for thinking that. Fool's paradise? Make sure the gun is kept well away when that paradise shatters - because someday, it will, otherwise you'll just descend further into wilful ignorance. Poor you. Poor, poor you. You're so far gone that even reason doesn't mean anything to you anymore. Poor you. Yomi

I wasn't saying that! i'm really shocked that you'd think I'd wish that! Any one who'd wish that other ppl would die is just sick! I was only saying that if I live that way, I will die early. I'm applying that to my own life. That's just despicable and disgusting and you're an utterly vile and horrid person for thinking that.Yes. i would be. if i actually thought that.

I am not Catholic, though I do believe in God. But not the same way that Catholics do.
Wow, we're really jumping down each other's throats. The one problem with msgbaords is that you never really get to hear a person's tone when they talk. *sighs*
And Fibby-chan, it might not ALWAYS be a negative implication. What if somebody said "I love you"? Wouldn't that imply that they cared deeply for you, and would take care of you, on top of loving you?
And Yomi, what the HELL is up with that last statement? You cannot, I repeat, CANNOT, assault somebody like that. I simply won't tolerate it. If somebody gives an opinion that you don't agree with - at all - then just tell them so, instead of running out to sting them like that.

;D hey, i found where the root of the problems began. so this is what fibby said that grossed out my friend. praise be for my thick skin, but if someone made these sorts of nasty implications, i'd feel terribly uncomfortable too. to callistron: a person's tone can be perceived by the words and the context which it was said in. for example, take sarcasm - said in the right place and time, you don't need to tack on "i'm geing sarcastic" here sort of thing. you can hear it already. another example: take your last misguided message to my friend. do i realy need to be able to hear you to hear your outrage and indignity? by your subconcious choice of words, you've made your tone perfectly clear. as to your actual message to yomi, i'll convey it to her. but i think you're misreading it... from all angles, it looks like a statement of opinion to me, just as fibby gave her a state of opinion about my friend's lifestyle choices. *shrug* and besides, fibby has already admitted that her arguments weren't based on reasoning, so i can't see why "you're so far gone that reason doesn't mean anything to you anymore" is nothing but a restatement of fact? knowing my friend, she was probably returning fibby's tactics towards her to make her understand something fibby later admits as having falsely denied that she didn't understand (did that make sense?) ah well, i'm just a friend with a biased opinion - how can expressing pity for someone be considered an attack anyway? well, you're entitled to you own, misinformed as i believe it is, but yomi's not coming back anyway, so i'm just flogging the dead horse again azzy edit: curse the typos

Any discussion about religion (Or anything really) is bound to get touchy at some point.

*laughs * I guess you're right Silva.
But I've thought about something before. I think that no matter what religion you are, muslim, buddhist, christian, satatanic, maybe all we would ever need to practice is kindness.

Kindness is very good.. Sorry, I was procrastinating and just bombarding the boards. I read the first page and now I'm here, I'll go back and read it later. I have no religion, I believe what I feel is right. My mom is a buddhist, and I suppose it rubs off on me. Religion helps people through their days and I respect that. I just don't believe that you need to follow a certain set of beliefs your whole life just to get into heaven/be reborn.. whatever. I believe that if you are kind to others, live your life with morals and values and are generally considered a good person, you'll have lived a good life and should not be punished. On another note, I do call one of my friend's god. I believe she is the epitome of goodness. She doesn't judge, she's smart, she's helpful, she doesn't complain, she's kind to EVERYBODY, she's willing to give you a chance, she listens to her parents, and she's patient. Notice I didn't call her beautiful and graceful and perfect? She isn't drop dead goregous but she isn't ugly too, very pretty in my opinion. The thing is, anybody who can say all those things about themselves and know, KNOW that it's true is my opinion of someone up there

I don't believe in organized religion, it just seems to overwhelming. There's so many useless rules to follow( in my opinion).. I feel that reading and obiding by the rules that are written in the bible is enough for me to be satisfied with where i am in my relationship with God. i mean, i'm not anarchist or anything, i do attend a Christian school so i'm not straying or anything. it just seems like too much segragation, too many rules, wheneverything you need to know to be happy is in a book right in front of you.. X.x I still enjoy chapel and Bible in school though. Ehh..if reading that didn't make much sense, then you'd probably be able to see my mixed feelings on organized religion
