    Love his dialogue.... it's not unlike Nicholsin's Jessep... he speaks the truth in very blunt terms that most of us don't want to accept because it feels dirty even though we understand the truth of the matter.

    sorry but when xian says that Gordon Gekko or Nicholson "speaks the truth" that is a bunch of horseshit

    there is no truth in anything either one of those characters said

    but you didn't say that the Gecko and Jessup characters spoke no truth. You said:

    okay, i'll bite...

    tell me some truth. there might be some out there so i may retract my statement if you can show it to me. but generally, and especially in the context in which you were using it, there is no truth and therefore he did not speak it.

    You didn't specify context you made a global statement that truth did not exist but it does.

    True: When I drop a bowling ball on my foot it hurts and I shout obscenities.


    Edit: As Chancelor Barusa once said to Doctor Who, "There is only truth in mathematics."

    okay, but a reasonable person could assume that the truth i was referring to was the truth in which you were referring to in your post which isn't the same truth you are showing an example of now.

    my statement still stands.

    this was fun tho, thanks
