vic,
I'm still waiting for you to use your knowledge and explain how and why women use birth control for reasons other than sex.
I mean, I had already cited medical concerns, both specific and in general, so you couldn't possibly mean that.

So please tell us why they would use contraception other than the two reasons I offered.

Because you described in great detail how much YOU know about women, and since I was a virtual virgin prior to my marriage I truly want to live vicariously through YOU. You're like a tall and slightly more masculine Dr. Ruth.

Without the accent, I imagine.

"look at the study I cited"

As if reading you isn't tedious on it's own, now you're giving homework to drive the point home?

Remember Victor, information is not knowledge.

Jesus Brew... if you were any more willing to throw our nice sounding but completely incorrect platitudes I'd think you were a republican.

There are, of course, many levels of understanding . . . .

My statement was a point of clarity in philosophy – a “truism”. It is as a hand pointing the way to the moon. If you get caught up in the hand you will never find the moon. Looks like you didn’t get past the finger. It is meant to remind us that bits of information, facts, about a things or happenings do not provide full understating (knowledge) of them. I like this reminder because there is a lot of inductive reasoning in the world – and the conclusions are often taken as fact.

Here is another one; If a tree falls in the forest and no man is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
What do you think? And please don’t quote the definition of sound.

Your initial platitude was "information" and "knowledge". No mention was made of understanding.

As for a "truism" all truisms are meaningless unless supported by actual, truth. This is how your pithy statement, which meant nothing, could sound so good and yet be so wrong. In your explanation, you tried to equate knowledge with understanding, but they are much further apart than information and knowledge.
