Temporary Autonomous Zoners, yes you!

[SA_Scavenger]

Thyr'zul,

"To be" means to exist, but used like "to be something" it doesn't necessarily mean that.

I'll give you a few examples, so you understand.

To be fictional.

To be non existant.

To be a werewolf.

To be a vampire.

A person can be a vampire, if that the person who is a vampire does not exist in reality.

Someone can be a vampire, as long as he is a fictional person.

Someone can't be a vampire in reality, but he can be a vampire if he is fictional and not really existant.

Dracula is a vampire. Dracula can be a vampire because he does not really exist.

I hope this helps you to understand better.

About your thoughts on "temporary", they are correct. I hope Scanvenger listens to you, he seems to have a problem accepting things that I say for some reason.

Benjamin, I am sorry but I was not able to understand what you were saying.

Hm, I am quite capable of understanding the concept of being in existence and not existing and the concept of constant change and thus the temporary nature of life. I think you misunderstand the entire idea of posting this topic in flood. Which was to have a bit of a laugh. The contradictory nature of my posts was me just having fun.

I think you're perhaps taking things a little too seriously. Not that I don't enjoy a good argument.

With that, off to sleep, night.
