I assume, from the smiley face, that you know this. But I had to write an entire essay on it.



In other words (to save you the time and space of your entire essay), there is truth -- (if, at the very least, simply that which is not "false").

That definition ("that which is simply not false") would easily apply to all of Captain's statements as I understand them...

"That which is not false" will always be the truth.

"That which is not false" will never be liquid.

"That which is not false" will never be a lie no matter how many people believe it.

"That which is not false" will set you free.

"That which is not false" will never hold you down.

"That which is not false" will be "that which is not false" no matter how many times it is told.

"That which is not false" can not be argued with.

"That which is not false" is you can not believe "that which is not false" if you believe a lie.

Saying that God authored confusion by creating Lucifer is like saying my sniper rifle goes out all by itself and shoots people 2 miles away so I dont get into trouble.

As a High School teacher, I, like Mal from time to time have to remind my students that only my version of the truth is the correct one. Anything else will get you marked off.

Depending on what you teach I may very well hate teachers like you.

To move on a tangent ... Math.

The thing about math is that that there is a true and a false because anything that can not be assigned a value of true or false is kicked out.

The thing about almost all else is that it doesn't work that way. If I get a job as a history teacher at a place which requires I publish academic papers, so that would be a college not a high school, I could publish a paper a year about a single battle and say a different (contradictory) thing about it every time. That would be ok, because so long as I got the facts right the truth is whatever I damn well please. (This assumes that they are well written papers.)

Yes, sir.

(looks about nervously)

Crew may be thinking mutiny, sir. Permission to gas them all, sir?

(suddenly wondering what makes me think that I even belong to this crew, much less have access to any gas)

I teach World History, and I'm not as much a hard-ass as I like to think. We get into some good discussions and in-class stuff. Tomorrow we are building trebuchets and lauching grapes around the classroom, should be chaos
