Topic: In honor of Alternate points of view and Lateral Thinking - Where More is Expected
+Syntax !AT4qCO/n0Y started this discussion 1 month ago #131,280
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thinking
Lateral thinking is a manner of solving problems using an indirect and creative approach via reasoning that is not immediately obvious.
Synonymous to thinking outside the box, it involves ideas that may not be obtainable using only traditional step-by-step logic. The cutting of the Gordian Knot is a classical example.
The term was first used in 1967 by Maltese psychologist Edward de Bono who used the Judgement of Solomon, the Nine Dots Puzzle, and the sewing machine (automating the work rather than adding more workers) as examples, among many others, of lateral thinking.
Lateral thinking deliberately distances itself from Vertical Thinking, the traditional method for problem solving.
Disproving
Based on the idea that the majority is always wrong (as suggested by Henrik Ibsen and by John Kenneth Galbraith, take anything that is obvious and generally accepted as "goes without saying", question it, take an opposite view, and try to convincingly disprove it. This technique is similar to de Bono's "Black Hat" of Six Thinking Hats, which looks at identifying reasons to be cautious and conservative
Lateral problem "solving"
Lateral thinking often produces solutions that appear "obvious" in hindsight. It can often highlight problems people never knew they had, or solve simple problems that have huge impacts.

{Editorial note}: Clearly a lateral thinking problem posed on sum random website may be interesting yet with true Lateral Thinking there can be multiple valid solutions.

One solution of many.
By the way I have proved 2+2=5 and it cums with two proofs and One of the Proofs has a huge scientific base to back up.
And for a Priest to lie as often as you do, is NOT a good representation of Jesus the Jew.
PS: I frankly enjoy this view of what a Priest is really good for and I am sure Satan is pleased with you.

> Is that a promise?
The Bible tells us:
"Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms; for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house" - Micah 7:5-6
With that said, I am a priest and as such my word may be trusted.
Bless you for the question, friend.

Not accusing YOU of any of what is below but clearly trusting a Priest Bishop Cardinal Pope has ruined the lives of 10''s of Thousand peoples
You're banned at tc for being an untrustworthy Troll who's lies are near impossible to count.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases
For example:In a 2001 apology, John Paul II called sexual abuse within the Church "a profound contradiction of the teaching and witness of Jesus Christ". Benedict XVI apologized, met with victims, and spoke of his "shame" at the evil of abuse, calling for perpetrators to be brought to justice, and denouncing mishandling by church authorities.
According to a 2004 research study by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 4,392 Catholic priests and deacons in active ministry between 1950 and 2002 have been plausibly (neither withdrawn nor disproven) accused of underage sexual abuse by 10,667 individuals. Estimating the number of priests and deacons active in the same period at 110,000
In September 2007, the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego reached a $198.1 million "agreement with 144 childhood sexual abuse victims
In July 2018, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. resigned from the College of Cardinals (the first Cardinal to do so since 1927) following abuse and attempted homosexual rape at a seaside villa
Priest sexual-abuse scandals in the US have cost the U.S. Catholic church a total of about $3 billion in legal fees, settlements, and other direct costs since the 1980s
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/whats-the-state-of-the-churchs-child-abuse-crisis/
It’s difficult to estimate the full scope of the abuse crisis. While allegations first surfaced in the U.S., the problem has become a global one, with widespread reports of abuse emerging in Ireland, Spain, Germany, Italy, Latin America and elsewhere.
In the U.S. alone, 16,787 people have come forward to say that they were abused by priests as children between 1950 and 2012, according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the organization for the Catholic hierarchy in the country. Those figures are incomplete.
A year into his papacy, Pope Francis has suggested some willingness to confront the problem. Last year, he amended Vatican law to specify sexual violence against children as a crime and set up a committee in the Vatican to make recommendations for addressing the crisis.
But the Vatican also declined to cooperate with an investigation by the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, which found that, when it came to child abuse, “the Holy See has consistently placed the preservation of the reputation of the church and the protection of the perpetrators above children’s best interests.”
Mega Billions $$$$ Word wide to use $$$ to cover the HORRID PAIN Children have suffered at the hands of the Catholic Church - And yes the Mormons and Baptists have problems as well but they are not trying to cover up or run from the problem. Also the other churches do not hide the offenders once they have been pointed out.
The Catholic Church will transfer an offender to another parish and because of Confessions the offender is totally given a free pass TO DO...And they sure do.

I can now say I have 4 UID's on mc. So sure do as the Austic Teen keeps doing and ban evades so you can delete her and therefore you're giving her an ORGASM.

Well of course you lie and that earned you a ban on TC which you will say you can evade (and hide while you evade) And as with Priests that molest kids, you can just clear lies with a confession.
I expect Catholic Clergy to be dishonest. After all when people fell for Jesus the Jews Urine to be Wine - People in Cults will follow the leader without any doubt.

Your Solution is only one of many solutions. Somehow you have been promoted to a God of some sort unable to understand Lateral Thinking.
