gwnn Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 They do not exist. So your question is not hypothetical, it just reflects reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well they might exist but if they were known to exist they probably wouldn't be referred to as hypothetical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguahombre Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Obviously this string is the result of boredom....Let's focus on real issues. Like, "why is there air?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtK78 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 What if hypothetical situations didn't exist? Then trees would not grow in a forest that no one visited. That is not the issue. The issue is whether those non-existent trees would make a sound when they fall (hypothetically). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is whether those non-existent trees would make a sound when they fall (hypothetically). Don't forget to consider whether or not the little brown bear would do what little brown bears do in the (non-existent) woods. That is, if the bear actually exists.

G_R__E_G Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 One thing I know for certain is that any hypothetical situation involving something embarassing, like a bad rash for example, are never actually hypothetical. Not that I'm speaking from first hand experience of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
