We grew up learning what certain wise men who lived in the past had said. We call them wise sayings or proverbs...... This is a forum for us to be remembered as wise men.

Let's make this thread an archive for sensible short proverbial phrases.

At any point in time we may be asked to disambiguate some of our sayings, you know we won't like our great grandchildren misinterpreting our words.

Am sure you are wondering why I associated wisdom only to men. Well, it's simple, I don't see wise women as women. If a woman is equipped with wisdom, I see her as a man.

Common guys let's make history together

Dogs don't like bones. They like meat. They eat bones because that's what they get.

That's a good one.

do you know that for a fact? Coz I used to think dogs like things to fumble their canines with... And meat won't serve that purpose because it's too soft..... Not only do they like bones for food they love bones because they can play with it..... And you know dogs are very playful animals.... With bones they can eat and play at the same time but meat can only serve as food.

Your perspective does not really contradict mine. They may like bones for play but a hungry dog will eat the meat first.

syllogistically then, a hungry dog will prefer rice to meat, because it serves the function of quenching hunger than meat. But afterwards, whether the dog had eaten rice, noodles or even meat, it will still go back to the Bone. That makes the bone more important

From your last post about rice and meat, I think you don't seem to understand what the "argument" was about. No, I wasn't interested in a long - or syllogistic - argument. I was just trying to point out something I thought you may have missed. Have a good evening.

" between meat and bone, which is dogs favourite?" That was my initial statement, so since that's where you were trying to "point something out" from, I believe that's the basis of the 'argument' so am only trying to point out why bone is dog's favourite and not meat... I believe I didn't deviate.. do have a wonderful evening too, sir.
