I say, if, in the process of trading in the car, the dealer informs me that I have a parking ticket which must be paid before the tags and title and so forth are granted, then I will pay it the ticket, otherwise...

Ha! My parents found the ticket sitting on my dresser and now they're demanding I pay it. "You can't just not pay the ticket!" "Really? It seems to be working pretty well."

If I have an unpaid parking ticket (parking meter violation) and I go to trade in my car, will I have to pay that before the dealer will buy back the car? The ticket was originally only for $10, but I think it's up to $35, since it's more than 30 days past the required payment date. If I just...

Well, that's only in your opinion. I'd rather read all day than do anything else. And I think sports are a huge waste of time.

Try telling that to my girlfriend. Essentially, unimportant when it comes to understanding (or constructing a theory of) consciousness. Isn't that what we've been arguing about for seven pages worth of posts now?

I give up.

The real issue that divides us is this: Is subjective experience important? Some of us say yes, some of us say no. We should just agree to disagree. :cool:
