What if you Fail to Fail?

~cornys~ · Sep 20, 2009 12:27 AM

Just a question for you all to ponder...

Do you Succeed? do you Epicly fail? or do you do nothing? Eh?

Interesting question.... I really don't know what to say about it myself...

A Guy · Sep 20, 2009 12:42 AM

I fail so epically I disgrace the word by using it in the same sentence as the words "I fail".

if you fail at failing, that means you're really bad at failing, right?

so if you're bad, at being bad, that must mean you're NOT bad, at being good.

which means you win. not fail.

Does this thread even have a point.

Not a double negative means Windows Bluescreen fails.

Ah yes the question that can keep you thinking for hours......... and gives you a migrain within 2 hours of the thought. Id say all of the above.

~cornys~ · Sep 20, 2009 2:43 AM

Well.... yeah.... It's supposed to be a debate on the answer of the question..... which really... may not have an answer..... lol

A Guy · Sep 20, 2009 3:04 AM

Well, in computing, if a variable goes so low, it may wrap around and become a very large number. So failure may eventually lead to great success. Not my case, though. If you fail to fail, then you fail at the easiest thing to do, so you fail.

~cornys~ · Sep 20, 2009 3:08 AM

lol... so after you fail to a certian degree you succeed to the highest degree? Like when you get all of the cards in a round in hearts? lol... I acutally found an example for us..... wow....

If you Succeed to Succeed in this theory then you might accidentaly fail?.... um.... mabey this is off base smile lol

It would still be a fail. If you fail to try and screw something up then you have failed the thing that you were trying to acheive.

Try to type out something a little more then just "I agree." Posts like that ar considered spam and thus non valuable to the forum.

In a literal sense, 'failing to fail' means to win, or succeed.
- One minus negative one is two.
- The opposite of the opposite is, in a way, the original.

Unless you are some crummy teenager with his/her logic stuck in a circular
helix, a fail at a fail is a win.

bmah · Sep 22, 2009 2:52 AM

lol corny, you posted the exact same thing on darkspyro forums.

what I said from that thread:

If you failed to fail, it means that you did not fail, but it doesn't imply that you've succeeded either.

This is just like the thing i came up with today.

If every thing you is a choice, like even decideing to think or not to think or move your right are or not which is all a choice, how do how not make a choice? Wouldnt thatmake a choice for not choosing a choice? X3

a better way of phrasing this (and this, by the way, has been said again and again and AGAIN) is that "not making a choice is a decision to be indecicive." in other words, not making a choice is still a choice.

True, but how do you get around that? Is it possible, might, might not. Thats just like the worm hole thoery. Could be possible its not a black hole, chances are that it is.

RedDragonX · Sep 24, 2009 2:57 AM

You obviously fail if someone punches in you in the head.

midget_roxx · Sep 26, 2009 3:51 AM

"In a literal sense, 'failing to fail' means to win, or succeed.
- One minus negative one is two.

This is logic not maths so that doesn't apply here.

"You obviously fail if someone punches in you in the head."

1) How is this relevant
2) Are you by any chance drunk?

MrXLink · Sep 26, 2009 1:04 PM

If you fail in failing, you:

- Are that dumb that you fail in even failing so you epicly fail.
- Fail to fail, so fail to do something very wrong, so you don't fail, you succeed. WTF...

~cornys~ · Sep 26, 2009 8:16 PM

This would be a paradox..... just to let you know..... lol... but they are fun to debate... lol

my mom watches old movies all the time, and sometimes I watch them with her, and we recently found a really good example of "Failing to Fail."

In the movie "The Mouse That Roared," a small country in Europe (Which takes up about 5 miles) is in financial trouble. seeing the way americans always sent all this relief to the countries they defeat, they decide to declare war on america, with the intent of losing, and then profiting from the relief America sends. However, their strike force (whose men are using the country's weapon, the longbow) somehow manages to steal a new nuclear bomb with the power to obliterate all of North America! Thus, they end up winning, and they had gone in with the intent of losing! you can imagine the hilarity that ensues.

perfect example of "Failing to Fail."

cynderfan · Sep 27, 2009 12:08 AM

Failing yo Fail is succeding.
If you Want to Fail THEN you epic fail
