If you blindfolded me and put me in a room with a cat I could totally find it.

[–]PancakeFashion 0 points1 point ago

Are you saying....

You can get pussy wherever you are?

[–]RhettS 9 points10 points ago

If he's blind why does it matter what color the room is? And please stop reposting the cat analogy.

[–]nickyvincenth[S] 2 points3 points ago

Because the analogy is pointing out the ridiculousness of religion. You're exactly right, it doesnt matter. That's the point.

[–]joemoffett1 1 point2 points ago

The thing is this analogy is kinda shitty.

[–]owlsrule143 0 points1 point ago

Came here to say both of those things

[–]digestif 1 point2 points ago

Sometimes I get the feeling Oscar Wilde said everything, and also the opposite of everything. Really, name anything and I'm sure Oscar Wilde said something about that too.

[–]Evi1M4chine 2 points3 points ago

Or rather, that he’s the one that’s wrongly attributed the most. 2nd place: Albert Einstein.

  • Oscar Wilde

[–]Lasagna13 0 points1 point ago

Oh ho! How witty that Oscar Wilde.

[–]Evi1M4chine 0 points1 point ago

The “finding” should be in quotes. At least.

[–]my_nan_is_boss 1 point2 points ago

I don't like the use of the exclamation mark at the end of this sentence. It makes it seem like it's trying to be a joke when it's a metaphorical point.

[–]smalldick_bigdreams 0 points1 point ago

....what

[–]4starkid 0 points1 point ago

TIL that's an Oscar wilde quote and not from Edward James Olmos from "Stand and Deliver."

[–]PancakeFashion 0 points1 point ago

I don't think Blind people constantly see black...

I mean they're blind, they don't see anything.

They don't see a color, they just don't see.

It's not there.

[–]Veothrosh 0 points1 point ago

So this is just getting reposted weekly now?

[–]Lan777 0 points1 point ago

It's more like looking in a small, empty, well lit room that has no cat in it but still saying "it is defnitely in here, if i say it's in here enough times then surely it will be."

[–]Caligrown710 0 points1 point ago

it would actually be harder for someone who can see to find it because theyre more accustomed to vision as a main sense

[–]nickyvincenth[S] 0 points1 point ago

Now things are just getting a bit too literal.
