All creampuffs are the same flavor.

1. If you have one creampuff, then obviously there is only one flavor.

2. If you all groups of n creampuffs are the same flavor, let's suppose you have n+1 creampuffs.  We'll prove that they're the same flavor.

3. Remove a creampuff A from your group.  Now you have n creampuffs which are all the same flavor.  Put A back, and take away B.  Now you have another group of n creampuffs, which are again all the same flavor.  Thus all of your n+1 creampuffs are of the same flavor.

4. All creampuffs are the same flavor.
It is possible to change the flavour of a creampuff!  As such, initial premise 1 is denied from the start!

You are never the same person.  You are changing all the time... as such, the person who responds to this message will be a different person than the person who read it.

My definition of "person" takes that into account and thus remains constant.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

That, sir, is the most unintelligent post I have ever seen and thus it clearly can't exist.

This is a hallucination, the only movement I am undergoing is the "being dragged by Princess Sara".

You're over thinking this thread's premise.

Not really.  I'm providing arguments with subtle flaws, which is more fun than either a. providing an argument with blatant flaws or b. providing an argument with no flaws.

Ah, well.  Laters~

Vec, the fallacy in that is that all the fun is in making up flaws. Would you normally point out the flaws in needing to urinate?

Since my past argument wasn't answered,

The ratio of Bing to Bang is not on the correct scale, your statement is mathematically.
