"We can have situation in which many members of a group did not know of any group intention" (72)
"In order for a number of people to constitute a plural subject, it is necessary for them to be jointly committed to doing something as a body" (67)
"A Joint commitment is... the commitment of us. Our "individual commitments" are interdependant" (67)
"A group's intention need not require the involvement of all group members" (71-72)I managed to create a convincing arguement wherein all those statements can be true!

How, do you ask? Simple! The Author's concept of group is ripped directly from a sci-fi book from forty years before it was written. She didn't even change the names in the examples. Having read Sturgeon's More than Human, I actually have an idea what she is trying to get at. Whereas, dumb (female dog) doesn't have a (action often performed in her species by mounting) clue!
Why did I do this? Good question! One philosophy course is required to graduate, and (as this is the first paper for my course), I am not allowed to comment on the work, only to explain it. The other (Mount)ing (mentally handicapped individual) who wrote a fetid pile of (biologically processed fertilizer) wrote a far shorter essay, wherein she attempts to explain that the existence of makeup enslaves women by forcing them to believe other's standards of beauty, since ugly (garden implements) get no respect. However, true freedom is still possible, because they can choose to naturally be pretty. This is explained by a (creative re-interpretation) of Godel's Uncertainty Principle.

If you're muttering "What the (greater City of Dis metropolitan area)" by this point, well, that's why I need to write this. It gets quite a bit off one's chest to see the vulgarity-to-incoherence ratio. I have a half-page left to write in the next twelve hours, and, I didn't think I could bull(fertilizier) my way through any more of that (vagina)'s poorly-plagarised nonsense without giving an honest interpretation. And, it has inspired me to find a way to use "(greater City of Dis metropolitan area)" in my essay, which should keep me inspired until the end.

I *love* that book.

But your post is a bit hard to read due to your inventive (and funny) use of censorship.

"greater City of Dis metropolitan area" :D

To those who might have been following my exploits for the past month or so, do I apologize that this might not have sounded as interesting as "convincing a dozen (inebriated college sporters) to go beat the (religion) out of a Frat House while the dangerous ones were at home, because the dangerous ones insulted my boy and I want him to have a fair fight against them."

It doesn't stand out as much as "sold a kid (fully-legal concentrated happiness) to get change for laundry," or even "streaked the library because they were throwing snowballs at my cousin, who needed a distraction to retreat."

It just barely beats out "nightmares that I'll have to live with Mom," which would probably out-do it come this weekend, when she meets that boy of mine. I'll give you his first reaction when he sees The Socialist Mecca Room as a bonus story, if you like, in this patched language I'm using right now, too.

But I can't have a situation wherein it's acceptable to threaten to "(forcibly engage in a sexual act) you sideways with a claw hammer" every weekend, keep up on work such as this, and expect to keep a reminder of my sanity. This one involved pulling multiple miracles out of my (recepticle for (latex rooster) of special friends). I snickered mightily at certain parts of it, too. Go (mount) yourselves if you (quickbabies)'d like to complain that I forcibly compelled you to (unprofitably use) the time necessary to read this thread.

Also, Orz is *Dancing*. If you understand that reference, then you may complain.

lol, some people have way too much time on their hands (and luckily I am one of those ;) )
