First, alas, there is no logical 100% scientific proof that your mom isn't lying, when she says she loves you. Sorry to disappoint you.
Same unfortunately goes for your wife and children...
Second, about the vaginal orgasmic convulsions, I was trusting Betty much more, as she has a vagina, and you do not. (I assume this, but there is no logical way for me to know that for sure)
I am glad you are joining the discussion.
Umm.....that is EXCACTLY what I said. I can't prove my mom loves me. But given the evidence, I would whole heartedly say she does (can you say the same thing; ie when a freind says ' man your mom sure loves you' would you retort 'I think she does, but I can't prove that shes not just saying it, so I don't know. This was not meant as some grade school challenge although it could be taken that way (dont take that way)).
I'm gonna paste what I said here but it won't be bolded (not savvy enough to do that yet):
"You are right in saying that I conceeded that there is no way to be 100% certain as to what someone else perceives. But, I also stated that if the preponerance of evidence suggests a conclusion, then following Occam's razor principle, we should 'go with the simplest solution (the example I gave before was if you saw a baseball on the ground near a broken window, what would you conclude?). Snip...
If you aren't willing to say 'yep, the majority of the evidence supports this conclusion about some phemenon', then how can can you, for example be 100% sure your mom loves you? For me, as I stated on the other thread, I'd rather not try to figure out the percentages. I'd rather just state with conviction that my mom loves me."
BELIEVE me, you aren't shattering any of my world views.
As for the Betty stuff; I told you before, the equipment is different but in general the reactions are the same (same innervation, same response).
FWIW-no wife, no girlfriend, no kids. Just........unattractive.
