What somebody thinks deep in their heart is not a fact. What somebody does and says is.

intent is not a fact?

Shia LeBeouf will always unite us in agreeing he is a shitty actor who always portrayed douchebag characters.

He was very sympathetic in The Greatest Game Ever Played. Upstaged by his 10 year old caddie though.

Dakota, I agree that your guy may not be a Nazi qua Nazi, but anyone who buys into that meme crap is still a pathetic sociopath.

[LaCroix]

sure, why not. I'm not defending the meme stuff, and I never was

No.

I wouldn't say it's not a fact.  If you honestly intend something, that's a fact.  But it's not verifiable--no one else can know for sure.

Well sometimes you can know for sure.  That's what the entire distinction between murder and manslaughter is based on, for example.

Yes but that intent itself is not a fact. It is something that can be proven through facts though. That and testimony.

But not in this context, though.  If a random person you don't know says something offensive, there's no objective way to know if he said if because he actually thinks it, if he doesn't actually believe it but was deliberately trying to provoke you, or if he doesn't really believe it but thought it would get a laugh.

[LaCroix]

it's not a different context. intent is either a fact or it's not.

that something is difficult to prove doesn't make it a non-fact. valmy intends to support his child and wife. that is a fact because he actually does intend to do so. a fact can be intangible
