If you are talking about ordinary lines and ordinary geometry, then parallel lines do not meet. For example, the line x=1 and the line x=2 do not meet at any point, since the x coordinate of a point cannot be both 1 and 2 at the same time.
However, you can construct other forms of geometry, so-called non-Euclidean geometries. For example, you can take the usual points of the plane and attach to them an additional point called "infinity" and consider all lines to also include this additional point. In this context, there is a single "infinity" location where all lines meet.

Seems Legit. Did my best to thumb your comments back up after reading that. Although I do believe that you just copied it from something, As long as you know what the fuck your talking about, you're right. Always. It is also a wonderful skill to be able to fap to mathematics. poof

well, i'd say this post was about ordinary geometry.
i wont pretend to have any idea what you just copy/pasta'd beyond the first paragraph, however, from what i gathered, you propose attaching lines to a singular point, if they start or end at a singular point they cannot be parallel?
