Do you believe in Mythical Creatures such as:

[foreigngirl]

Really? I'm not the one who is arguing with the definition of "literature" and "myth" and then telling other people to just shut up unless they have a degree in literature.

everything is flying over your head. I feel like talking to the wall. I am starting to think that I am talking in a different language and thats why you do not understand me.


I didnt tell you to shut up JUST because you dont have a degree in literature. I just said that you should just admit that its not your field, even though you have general knowledge in it and stop trying to prove your false ideas. I would NOT argue law with you. I have the common sense of knowing when someone has deeper knowledge than me about something. You dont.

You aren't arguing with me. YOu are arguing with random house dictionary.

no. With your perception of what that deffinition means.

Sorry that you take offense that I have opinions on topics. I'll try to giggle and look cute when I see you coming so as to not offend your sensibilities on how a woman should behave.

you're in every thread, voicing your opinion about whatever the topic is like you're an expert. nobody cares about your superior debating skills. seriously, have some control and just flip the laptop shut. i can't wait for you to have the baby so it takes up most of your time. i know you're a sweet lady and all but it's hard to ignore how arrogant you come off at times

 

[heatherrae]

what about the myth that black men have larger penises?

I'm going to go gather some empirical proof and I'll get back with you on that one -- anything in the name of science!

 

[heatherrae]

no. With your perception of what that deffinition means.

OK.

Clearly we disagree on the english language. Those definitions are very clear and this isnt' a matter of perception.

OK.

The deffinitions are clear. What is not clear to you is that mythology (and folklore) is still related to literature and thats why its studied when you are majoring in that subject.

Sorry that I have opinions and debate them. What a miscreant I am!




I don't own a laptop, but if you want to mail me one, I could use it at the hospital to post more opinions on topics.


No one seems to have any problem with anyone else having an opinion. lol.

Plus, my posting a definition clearly has nothing to do with my opinion. Some people's pride just makes them never admit that they are wrong. She is clearly completely incorrect, by definition.

and you are always correct. By deffinition. You felt that you were incometent and you went to look for stuff on the internet thinking they would support your theory. Your arrogance, ego and pride is what is big. I see you arguing on almost every subject there is trying to prove your point of view as a valid one. You dont see me doing it. I stop. But I told you - I am not backing up with this, cuz this is my field of expertise and you do NOT know more and you still havent found a way to discredit me.

These animals were also considered "mythological" Natives described a mix between a giraffe and a zebra. They were ridiculed as stupid and superstitious uneducated natives.

Guess who turned out to be right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi

Now you are trying to say that actually the half giraffe half zebra "myth" is still a myth and that this creature can't be compared - thus apples and oranges. However, you have to take into consideration that this is the animal that they were describing seeing. They hadn't caught one to examine it, do tests on it, etc. They were just describing what they were seeing.

I bet is sure as hell sounded outrageous! If I had never seen one and I had to bet which was more likely to be true, the okapi or a bigfoot, I would probably think that the bigfoot sounded less outrageous. Wouldn't you?

heather, i think what foreigngirl and samoth are saying (and perhaps it's not clear) is that these kind of animal species/creatures would never fall into a category of MYTHICAL/MYTH/MYTHOLOGY but rather CRYPTOZOOLOGICAL because it is an animal and not something like a fairy.
so it seems you have two categories of creatures (mythical & cryptozoological) all confused into one (Mythical). I think what they are saying is theses are two different types of creatures. Types of animals that are known to exist and then other creatures that are not animals, like fairies and such.

at least that's what I got from reading this thread.
