No... help yourself! Here is your dilemma - what is "a definition?"
- A definition is a formal passage describing the meaning of a term (a word or phrase). The term to be defined is the definiendum (plural definienda). A term may have many different senses or meanings.
Do you see the problem yet...?
Definitions (like everything else) CHANGE OVER TIME... and let me qualify that in the case of a "human being."
- Do you believe that the definition for "a human being" in 1510 was different to today???
- Don't you think the definition for "a human being" in 2510 will be different from the definition we have today???
Two important issues here -
One - What we perceive to be human changes over time. We are constantly finding out more about the human being (and the human experience) which makes older knowledge, concepts and definitions redundant.
Two - Human beings as a species are constantly changing, so what a human being is at present will significantly change over time (and is changing as we speak) - Nothing stays the same. Scientists today are stating that humanity is now going through a significant biological change.

You are assuming I'm assuming I "know all there is to know about this "human" state."

You're spouting complete idiotic nonsense that he has formed an opinion about being human before he was human!
"Preconceived notion - an opinion formed beforehand without adequate evidence."

The trap you fall into (be it intentional or otherwise) is that you have a preconceived notion of what it is to be human.

I can tell you pidders something as a father. If someone had killed my son and replaced him 2 months before, even two decades before, I would not be sitting there yucking it up with one of those responsible. And, no, I wouldn't give a sh** if they threatend my life. I would not have cared if they took me out.

Since "preconceived notion" means an opinion formed BEFOREHAND, you are CLEARLY claiming his "notion" has been formed BEFORE he was human - otherwise it wouldn't be a "preconceived notion", would it?!
Edmond cannot have had this "notion" - BEFOREHAND - of what it is to be human", since the notion was formed AFTER he was already human!

Don't worry, dakudo. To be called an idiot by such a person is a great comfort. It means you are sane.
And it is not hard to understand that he gets the meaning of "preconceived notion" wrong. Uncle Benny can't tell his left from his right, and could not grasp the concept of a double negative.
This is typical ranting from the pidder crowd. Much of their time is spent ranting and raving, full of hatred. They have issues.
PID is dead.

Take a deep breath there dakudo - It's alright... just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not all out to get you!
I can only go by what you say and what you post
if you want to play games that's fine, but you'll be shown up TIME AND TIME AGAIN FOR THE LIER [sic] YOU ARE AND SUBTLE DISINFO TACTICS YOU USE!

You've just stated above "he's been human for decades." So you have concepts of what it is to be human.
I'm not assuming what these are, but you've just affirmed you believe in this label "humanity."
What I'm saying is throw out these concepts of what it is to be human
because they're not real, they're just concepts, thoughts - They have nothing to do with who or what you are. They are concepts ABOUT WHO YOU ARE!
Is this clear with you?
Now to iron out the next supposed conundrum in your mind -

I've simply stated his notion of what it is to be human was formed BEFORE HE MADE HIS COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD YOU DONUT!

WHERE did I make the claim he had a preconceived notion of what it is to be human BEFORE HE BECAME HUMAN?

You haven't done that at all. As I previously stated - and you haven't been able to rebut - "you can only be assuming what my thoughts on it are".
Why? Because I have never posted any personal thoughts about the human state in this thread.
Irrefutable fact!

More like you're an irrefutable idiot!
You have the gall to call me a liar
when ALL YOU DO is lie and twist around what people say day after day. :bash: OH THE IRONY!
Firstly lets look at a comp used by dakudo from the front of the "Yesterday and Today" album (otherwise referred to as the "Butcher" cover).
From these two pictures above dakudo put together a comparison showing three close ups of Paul, here it is -
What poor auld dakudo was attempting to show was the difference between different quality footage, and how in some pieces of film, Pauls face appears to be longer and thinner than in others.
NOW - Take out a ruler and measure the length of all three pictures.
The three are clearly the same measurements from bottom to top, BUT....... MEASURE EACH PICTURE ACROSS.
NOTICE HOW THE PICTURE OF PAUL ON THE LEFT IS NARROWER THAN THE OTHER TWO. THE MIDDLE PICTURE AND ONE ON THE RIGHT ARE THE SAME LENGTH, BUT THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS MUCH NARROWER!!!
By narrowing in the picture dakudo has attempted to fool people into reaching the conclusion he wants them to reach.

This is a video put together by dakudo, make that DELU-DO, several months back, it always gives me a chuckle -[/quotes]
I'd be more concerned with learning to tell my left from my right, if I were you.
W'hat I want people to focus on here are the voice comps in the second part of the vid!
The comparisons are taken from these two interviews below, have a listen to both -
I have ONE QUESTION - WHERE IS ALL THE BACKGROUND NOISE COMING FROM IN YOUR VIDEO? HOW COME IT'S NOT IN THE ORIGINALS??? (Are you going to run for cover and deny making it in the first place, it wouldn't surprise me!).
Deludo also focuses on stock phrases used by Paul and mimmicked by Bill/Faul. Words like "you know" are used many times throughout the comp. This is a subtle way of getting people to identify subconsciously that it's the same man, just because they are THE SAME WORDS used by BOTH MEN.
"The second step involves the pattern comparison of the same phrases/sentences from the unknown sample and the suspect’s sample."

Hi
Okay... this is kinda difficult so please bear with me and sorry if I ramble a bit while I get my point across.
My very first post on ATS was over on the PID thread because, after reading the conspiracy and becoming very intruigued by it, I felt compelled to join so I could reply - I thought there really was something in all the clues and photo comparisons. And, as I knew very little about the Beatles and wasn't a huge fan of Paul, I had no prior knowledge to the contrary.
I posted these feelings on the PID thread.
BUT... during my intruigue of this conspiracy I began to watch videos of the Beatles on YouTube, listen to some of their songs... and suddenly found I was enjoying the music - after all these years, I was finally becoming a Beatles fan. And I began to wonder if what I was reading was true. Because in 'early' and 'late' videos I could see mannerisms in Paul that seemed to be the same.
So I looked back at the PID evidence and this time, rather than just taking everything I read at face value, I investigated it for myself. And I realized that some of it was just completely wrong.
Here's just some of the things that have changed my mind:-
Yes Paul looks different in videos like Strawberry Fields. But then again, so does John - he's changed perhaps more than Paul.
On the Hey Jude video, Paul's eyebrows move about a lot, very similar to in the 'Yesterday' video. It's the same movement, same guy. It just is.
One piece of evidence on the PID threads/websites was a screenshot from a cartoon, showing what alleged to be Paul looking grey and deathly, with a comment along the lines of "why does only Paul look grey while the other Beatles are in full colour". Well, I watched the cartoon this came from, it was a cartoon of the Beatles singing Strawberry Fields. In the course of the song, several children's lives are seen to change from dull and grey to colourful and happy. The 'Paul' on the screenshot was actually one of these children.
This one really clinched it for me, because clearly this was a piece of evidence that simply wasn't what it was made out to be.
I recently saw an interview with Paul on a show called 'Zane meets' or something like that. What struck me was that even though this was now a 60-whatever year old guy, there were moments when I actually saw the early-mid-sixties Paul shining through, just in his mannerisms or his eyes. It's hard to explain, but I know I saw it.
So, I no longer believe the PID theory. I've seen with my own eyes through the videos I am watching over and over (as I said, I'm a new fan!) and I've seen proof that evidence purported to be in favour of PID is simply not true. And all that is enough for me.
I feel really embarrassed that I believed the theory for a while - it was compelling and I was naive to think that everything that was posted was the truth without first investigating it for myself. I like to think of myself as open minded, but I think my eagerness to finally post on ATS made me too hasty. :bnghd:
But if nothing else it made me discover the wonderful music and videos that the Beatles did (and in turn, enjoying watching them made me see the truth - it's a roundabout way but I got there in the end!)
Sorry for the terribly long post, but I just had to speak my mind. I've sat back and reviewed my thoughts so that this time, I wouldn't be jumping in feet first.
I'm worried that people will think that I'm either just here to cause trouble or someone who really can't make up their mind. I'd rather you thought the latter because honestly, I'm not trying to cause any trouble. Now I know the truth I can't sit back and not say it. I feel like I need to say something in support of Paul.
Thank you for reading.

That is unbelievable. UB wants us to measure the size of the photograph? Oh my God, that is lame.
So if the photograph is 1 inch wide, it means Paul is replaced, but if we cut off a little from each side of the photo, then Paul is alive?
That is the worst yet.
