Surveying opinions on philosophy -- on omegle

Spoiler

You're now watching two strangers discuss your question!
Question to discuss:
If something is true, is it always true? Can it be possible for a statement to have once been true, but is now false? Or would that be an instance of an improperly defined and generalized statement?

Stranger 2: You sound so dull

Stranger 1: you're boring

Stranger 1: like one of those people that try to sound smart and say they don't own a tv

Stranger 1: but in reality no one cares

Stranger 2: Yes

Stranger 2: Well it depends

Stranger 1: A statement that was once true can become false.

Stranger 1: And vise versa.

Stranger 2: Ppl considerd dumb in one society can be considerd genius in another.

Stranger 2: Mysteries..

Stranger 1: "All doors in the world are blue."

Stranger 2: As time goes by evolution goes in

Lesson learned: Omegle is not a good place to probe for (even barely) intellectual discussions.

Obviously things generalized could switch between true and false. But even non-general things can change. Obama is president of the US. While that is true now, in a few years it would be false. Saying Obama is the 44th president of the US would always be true.

But yes, I don;t know why anyone would think omegle would be a good place to survey people.

again, that would be a problem of not properly defining the assumptions for the statement. "Today is 29 January 2014; Obama is currently the President of the United States."

Yes, no, and yes.

You were on omegle for the potential strippres awaiting, you just wanted to play it cool with the guys who were flashing you instead :f3:

You didn't ask for their sex, location, and age. If you did, they would have gladly talked more. or ended the call faster
