My friend known as Bindy [not his real name] had his MSN ID subtag/personal message thing set to "Bananas care because they are yellow". I was foolish enough to call him up on this.
- me
- Why would caring make something yellow?
- bindy
- Why not?
- me
- Thats not an counter argument. Explain the causal link between caring and yellowness.
- bindy
- Yellowness? Today is purpleness. [Subtag changes to "Aubergines care because they are purple"]
- bindy
- It is merely a statement in my belief that fruit is coloured according to the fact that they care.
- me
- But all fruit is coloured.
- bindy
- eg. tomatoes are red because they care.
- bindy
- But if they are green. i.e. unripe they do not care.
- me
- But all fruit is colourer. And fruit is not sentient.
- bindy
- That's sentientist
- bindy
- Wrist bands saying you care are not sentinent.
- bindy
- What if you put one around a tomato?
- bindy
- Would that not mean the tomato cared?
- me
- Tomatoes can't care
- bindy
- That's your belief.
- bindy
- My belief is that Aubergines are purple because the care.

I don’t know Bindy but from comments I have seen signed ‘Bindy’ I always though he was a she.
I have been corrected.
Is he a gay camp kinda bloke?

I’m more concerned with the passive aggressive language you use: “Thats not an counter argument. Explain the causal link between caring and yellowness.”
Gees man, chill out!

Matthew, Bindy is very not camp. Although this wouldn’t convince you.
Gordon, Some days passive agressive is all you got. For me that’s most days.

If a fruit can’t even be bothered to be a decent colour, chances are it won’t care much about anything else, either. I’m with your friend.
