Indeed, hypocrisy does not disprove the principle. Hypocrisy is just an instance that shows the principle is a principle and not a description of the world.

Ffs, I made a good post again, but forgot to copy it, so it's gone. Aelius, I must say you are very well informed, I don't expect anyone from Ontario to know anything about Geert Wilders Anyway, I don't feel like re-writing everything now, but I would like to ask why on earth you (=ultros) post such silly material. I'm glad you know it's propaganda, but why even take it serious then? Those numbers couldn't be any...

And it's not stupid, I have no need for them. Quote: I even take food supplements myself. All I am saying that it is better to avoid added stuff, and get it in a natural way instead. I don't do it all the times, but I try to eat an orange instead of taking a...
