But that begs the question...what is an orange? and what do you mean by is?

Damn I haven't been on in a long time....ok so a Mac or PC?PC. Mac is for people that buy into trends.Random Question: What is your hypothesis as to why Blizzard "appears" to be underperforming? (failing to deliver, etc)Popular opinions. These opinons aren't 'new' either. All I know is my own reasoning. I dislike WoW because of the player base, and the game mechanics.What do you think of the new expansion?I don't play WoW anymore.But, there are no people, so they can't own the oranges. Yet, the ownership left the basket ... so the oranges are now ownerless? The oranges have to be contained somewhere ... is it the ground? Space? Nothingness?Think a bit further... not where they are, but apply a numerical value to the oranges under ownership by each of the people that don't exist.

but you said there weren't any people, so how do they own the oranges?
That's almost the question we are trying to answer. The question is how many does each person own?

What it seems like you guys are disputing is the what to call an entity that doesn't exist but somehow can claim ownership over something. I would call this entity a "floobergaster". But this would raise questions as to whether or not such an entity can exist.
We aren't talking about made up entities. We are talking about people... just 0 of them. Your mind is trying to fill the void of 0 with something imaginary. Don't let it.

hmm...I think i'm not understanding something. If you have 0 people, then what it is doesn't matter. 0 penguins, 0 marbles, and 0 tires all have the same amount of the same quantity. Whatever noun you may call it is irrelevant to the fact that if there is none of "it", than it can't be given anything.If your oxygen supply falls to 0, or your penguin supply falls to 0... does it matter?

Depends on if I exist to receive it.
Either way, changing the unit is a distraction from the problem. 5 oranges, divided between 0 (people, buckets, monsters, senators, etc etc).
How many oranges does each unit have?

Each is a adjectival pronoun and thus must have an antecedent to make sense. Since there is no antecedent, you can't predicate anything of it, and thus there really is no question there to be answered.

...Is anyone severely surprised neither ArgentSun nor Skyfire have dropped a lock on this thread yet?
I specifically requested permission from feedback@wowhead.com BEFORE I made this thread. I also agreed to meet certain conditions within the thread.
