Re: What's the best superpower?

Your statement doesn't prove anything. It is not 100% true but it is not 100% false. I am not 100% sure of my self. But I am quite sure of it. So if it is true, it doesn't prove itself wrong because there is still and always be a small possibility of itself being wrong. But you will still argue with me about this trying to prove me wrong. My friends do the same. I got used to it. But I will never give up. NEVER!

You aren't even arguing against what I'm saying, you're arguing against what you prepared for someone to say and are imagining I'm saying. I'm not even talking about the chances of it being true. Let me sort this:

It either is true or isn't true, if it is
True,
     Then there is a 0% chance of anything being 0%, so
           There is a contradiction, so,
                 It cannot be true
False,
     Then cool.

How sure you are of it is not the thing at hand there. The thing at hand is the assertion itself.
The uncertainty you are talking about is about whether it is true or false, but that is irrelevant. It either is or isn't, and it can't be so it must not be.

You are not even listening to me. You say it is either true or it is either false... this is wrong. Say I prove it is true, there can always be a person in the future that can prove it to be false. But say if you prove it false, then I can always prove it to be true. It can't be true or false, that is my whole point. You can't be 100% sure about anything even my theory. I don't care how hard you try to prove me wrong, you will never succeed but I am not going to be successful in convincing you either so lets just drop this topic. My original idea was to have a superpower to prove this, not to start a huge argument.

I don't think you get it. What you prove doesn't matter; it must be either true or false, it cannot be both true and false. It doesn't matter what you prove. When a person shows it to be true and a person proves it false in the future, that doesn't mean that it used to be true and became false. Whichever it was, it was the whole time.

It's not both true and false, it's neither. True and False are very strong words meaning 100% and 0%. I can't put out good arguments when you make everything 100% and 0%. I am trying to prove that everything is neither. But some things are too close to be true and false. 99.99% is basically 100% and we can say that it is 100% when it really isn't.

I repeat my beginning statement. If you just think of an alternative, it puts that 0.0000000...001% into the statement, it still means that the statement is true or false either way. This also answers Shift's argument. I can say and I can think that his points are false, it still means they are true either way, it's just not 100% but it is too close to 100%, it is basically 100%, but I thought of an alternative meaning that it is not exactly, perfectly 100%.

Edit: Everyone disagrees with me on this forum, I am used to it. I believe in my point, and that is what matters to me.

Re: What's the best superpower?

Alright, nubbies, let's not go and derail the topic. Feel free to make your own topic about this, if you still want to continue the discussion.

Re: What's the best superpower?

If the benifits would outweigh the drawbacks, I'd choose to mix two superpowers, ideally, time travel and teleportation. Then the problem of the solar system & earth moving would be all but diminished, as I'd think about when and where I'd like to go, and my superhero subconscious would calculate where (and when) in the universe to travel to. And, to solve teleporting into a wall (or air which would fill the body), my powers would create a temporary void in my exact shape so that I can fit in without dying. Find a problem with that.

Problem: It's lame.

If you can have a power it needs to be something AWESOME.

How is time travel lame?

You're not any stronger or actually able to do anything ridiculously intense, you're just hopping around!

Even if it's really useful, it just can't be cool like being able to destroy anything with your punches while not harming yourself: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw[/youtube]

Punching hole in galaxy > teleporting anywhen and anywhere.

Re: What's the best superpower?

To all the people trying to get superpowers that enable you to have whatever superpower you want, that's no fun. Just think of one superpower that you would like to have.
Or do whatever you want. I'm a forumer, not a cop.

That probably includes my superpower to borrow other people's superpower so I'll go with super intelligence so I can manipulate much of the technology to do what I want it to do or create new technology! With super intelligence I could probably accurately predict the actions of most people. Perhaps with super intelligence I may figure out a way to grant myself telekinesis probably with an implant to the brain. I could even build a jet-pack to allow me to fly. The endless things I can do if I was super intelligent.

^Yes, that's a good one. There was a random like 6-year-old with like a 260 IQ, and that would be useful, to say the least

Re: What's the best superpower?

Changing mine from something useful to something that I would just find fun.

The ability to see and hear the world through somebody else for however long I want. Like I'm home alone, and I want to know what a random kid at my school is up to. I just tune out of my world and see what they are doing. I might get scarred for life by some of the stuff I see but who cares I know about everybody now.

It's the newest in stalking technology! Nice job.

I'll have you know that you're legally required to give a notice of when you're watching somebody's actions remotely. You'll have to add to your power a little eye icon in the lower right corner of the person's mind.
