I have often heard from followers of Wittgenstein and other
fashionable postmodernists that when we say something to be true, all
we are really saying that something is true for one particular
community.

Us Westerners, generally tend to use the word 'true' to say that a
statement about the world accurately and correctly describes the
world: So:

S1. 'Knucmo posted on Usenet on 14th of March 2008' is true if and
only if Knucmo posted on Usenet on 14th of March 2008.

The people I speak of in the first paragraph might modify this to:

S2. 'Knucmo posted on Usenet on 14th of March 2008' is true for the
Eurocentric Westerners community if and only if (IFF) Knucmo posted on
Usenet on 14th of March 2008.

This implies:

S3. Members of the Eurocentric Westerners community believe that
'Knucmo posted on Usenet on 14th of March 2008'.

Suppose though, that:

S4. No members of the Eurocentric Westerners community believe that
'Knucmo posted on Usenet on 14th of March 2008'.

So, you must be a LIAR LIAR ..... [ sorry, just wanted to sound like

It's amazing what a difference a Date line can make. Which again goes to
show that like everything else, truth depends primarily on your point of
view.

THEREFORE change your point of view, and the world changes before your eyes.

THAT's the Truth! :)
