Vindication
The guy I rent a room from sometimes finds one or two cockroaches (palmetto bugs) in his kitchen drawers. In the past he has blamed my large collection of books for attracting them into his house, as they can eat paper. (The main kitchen and the room I rent share the same wall.) Tonight he found eight of the nasty suckers all at once in one of his kitchen drawers. About 6 weeks ago, when I boxed up and moved the majority of my books out, I found none of them hiding in there. Obviously then, my library wasn't the problem, which I told him every time. I'm not going to post a picture of the suckers because they are gross and freak me out. If you want to see what they look like, you can Google it yourself.

Relativism cannot be true.
When a person makes a statement that all truth is relative, he or she either includes that statement or excludes it. If that statement is included - that all truth is relative - that means that that statement is only relative and not always true. If that statement is excluded, then he or she is positing an absolute while denying that absolutes actually exist.
