Aww how cute, he thinks he made a point and it was validated by you.

Considering that he said what I said in different word. Yes. He repeated me.

Of course. I cant be right, so you're going to argue differently.

But thats you're choice. :)

I prefer the phrase "Expect me when you least expect me!"

Expect what you assume is unexpected?

Expect the initially unexpected?

Expect everything?

More dismal reading comprehension.
I didn't repeat your point, because your point was shit.

And even if you're going to ignore that, and persist in saying that I repeated your post, you'll have to admit that at least I did it better.

Considering that he said not what you said in different word, no, he did not repeated you.

Of course, you're retarded, so you think I'm attempting to argue when I'm just observing.

But you're an idiot :)

In no rational thought process can you argue that

What "Expect the unexpected" means, is look out for the shit that the person next to you isn't, and he will do the same.


Is anywhere close in meaning to

You can expect the unexpected generally, but not specifically. It's not a paradox.

SWEENEY WROTE IT IN A MUCH AESTHETICALLY APPEALING WAY iargue!!!

They're both concluding the same point, it's just that sweeney's post was much more coherent without the shitty example (sorry) that iargue used.
if everyone expects and different unexpected then that implies that we expect the unexpected in general, he was only arguing that you can expect the unexpected in general so that implies that we can't expect the unexpected specifically .

I love how this debate went from how to best word "expect the unexpected" to "who is right?"

Nope, I would take my pee and walk right back out. (I would pull him out however, nothing else though.)

Not unless I was in a bar... poor guy, must be desperate for a drink...

(Even then it'd have to be a unisex bathroom for me to see that in the restroom, I'd be in the ladies)

you can't expect the unexpected since if you expect it it's not unexpected anymore (=

Wrong.

You can expect the unexpected generally, but not specifically.

To use an analogy; if you knew I was going to give you something, and you knew that I usually gave people fruit, you would expect me to give you fruit. I then give you a banana.
Whilst you were expecting fruit, you weren't expecting a banana.

General vs specific.

since I never said anything about general vs specific my point still stands I may not be able to expect you will give me a banana but I know you will give me "fruit"

No, your point doesn't stand precisely because you didn't say anything about general vs specific.
Without that distinction, what you've said is meaningless.

since the ts never said anything general vs specific my point still stands and since it applies to real life where I would still expect a "fruit" but I wouldn't expect a banana am I not still expecting the unexpected/expecting the expected

I don't know how you can make that post, and not realise that you've undermined your own point.

If you are expecting a fruit, not expecting a banana, and you get a banana, you were expecting the unexpected in a way that does not cause a paradox.

You can expect the unexpected.

err whatever I still believe I'm right but I realize you may have a valid point.

"err whatever"
It's not as graceful a concession as I might have hoped for, but I'll take it.
