Finally, a Republican Sees the Light!

[FreezerBurn]

My mistake- I was just using your site.

i never posted that list. and if you'd paid attention, you'd have seen it was 11 years old.

:lol: You really are physically incapable of admitting you're wrong, huh?

I asked a question. You responded with:

"Of course it is."

Later, you realize that the statement was only clear in your own head. Sorry Freezer- I'm not a mind reader. What little powers I have are much weaker over the internet. Realizing that your "logic" only worked in your own head, you had to add "[about everyone]." If I ask you a question, and you answer, I can only assume you answered the question instead of going off on some tangent with vague responses.

Seriously. Take a remedial English course. My reply was only confusing once you deleted the second half of your statement. You don't need to read minds. You need to learn how to read.

You: But this isn't just about our government, is it? It's about everyone.

Me: Of course it is. No one should torture anyone.

Then who should they be held responsible by? The people who are getting killed when they speak one word against the government? If YOU claim they should be held responsible, then YOU need to back it up. If you agree that they will not be held responsible, then your point doesn't mean anything.

I need to invade half the world? I'd love to help, but my aircraft carrier is in the shop. The citizens of any given nation are responsible for their government. If they don't like the way their government is run, it's up to them to change it by force or otherwise. It's not our place to unilaterally hold a sovereign nation responsible for their domestic policies through military force.

:uhhuh: So you ignore the fact that some people actually do dress in a manner, that, in your book, would make them targets.

you posted a link to a tripod image hosting logo. am i supposed to be impressed?

Fact is, you can't even prove there are "some." How many civilians have died in this war? How many bombs have killed innocent Iraqi's purposely? I have YET to hear ONE report or see ONE picture of a combatant obeying the rules of war. Those international agreements, as shown above, have not been ratified by the US Senate. I'm not going to go through the many pages of your link- be a little more specific.

Ok, the rainman routine is amusing. But not particularly compelling. You can keep claiming the united states definitely never ratified the agreements. definitely, definitely no agreements. but the facts speak otherwise. In 1994, the United States ratified the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT)

You shouldn't open your mouth at all- the only things that come out are flames.

So I take it your answer is yes when saro asked "So if a black hood makes them "clearly distinguishable from the civilian population." we should automatically shoot anyone in a black ski mask, yes?"

The only response I have to that is: :rolleyes:

why not read my answer to him rather than invent one to suit your purposes?

There's this neat thing you can do with words, Freezer, kind of 'playing' with them. In fact, I would venture that most here have even heard of a "play on words". But then again, it is kind of a complex idea, so it may be a bit beyond you. Ask your teacher. :lol:

Hey, since you love logic so much, would this be correlation or causation? ROFLMAO

EDIT - ever fired one? An RPG, that is? BWAHHAHHHAHHHHHAAHHHHAAAWWRR!

Does you lack of intelligence correlate to your poor understanding of the written word? Or does it cause you to constantly make an *** out of yourself? Good question. And I'll give you a lesson in the English language today, free of charge. The two are not mutually exclusive.

cor·re·la·tion P Pronunciation Key (kôr-lshn, kr-)
n.
A causal, complementary, parallel, or reciprocal relationship, especially a structural, functional, or qualitative correspondence between two comparable entities:

Key word in this case, "causal." Not only does your substandard intelligence correlate to your constant mistakes. It is in fact the root cause of this mistake. I realize 99% of this went right over your head. But you're special anyway. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Actually, yes, you've managed to actually grasp a truth here. Since I don't lack intelligence by any measurement used (current or historic), my understanding of both the written and spoken word is admirable. Of course, having a Mom whose got her Doctorate in English before she got a real job probably helped. And though I was going to assume that you were planning to clean up the potty mouth after Freet's warning, I'm wondering what constructive gems you'll come up with regarding my (76+ yr old) Mom...

As to "Does you lack of", Freezer, the day you can give me English lessons, or any other sort for that matter, will be a very cold day in a very hot place. No doubt this was somehow indicated by your choice of monikers. And as for making an arse of one's self, well, I think others can judge pretty well.

Ok, since I'm not planning on another urination contest, particularly given your place in the zoo, I'll spoil the joke you managed to miss by explaining it.

Module's comment was, "Oh yes, an RPG is much less dangerous than an AK!", referencing your picture. His choice of words was a perfect double entendre regarding your, shall we say, handicap? in picking relevant links and citations.

RPG = Role Playing Game and RPG = Rocket Propelled Grenade, but
Role Playing Game <> Rocket Propelled Grenade. Except, perhaps, to you...

Have fun in your alternate universe!

Good to know. Ask her the difference between whose and who's

Hope you're wearing a jacket.

Ask him if it was a double entendre. Looks to me like it's only in your head.

[jmervyn]

Hardly any need. Anyone reasonable ought to be able to tell the difference. Though she would be appalled that I used "got" twice, and once needlessly.

And then again, one can check out the use of possessives on the Internet. Neat, huh? :lol:

Hope you're wearing a jacket.

What, to keep your scat from sticking? As you proved above, there's hardly a need.

Well, at least this is a step up from your standard potty mouth and the "I know you are but what am I?". So since I'm not the one who's had his words put in his own orifices for the umpteenth time, I hardly need to ruin this particular joke any further.

That was poor English all around. But you would not use who as a possessive pronoun in that sentence. The proper use of a possessive pronoun would be, "I have a mom whose doctorate is in English." The way your sentence is structured, correct grammar would have been, "I have a mom who's received her doctorate in English." Don't believe me, ask your mom. Or ask dondrei, he usually has proper grammar.

I can already see this is going to give me hours of amusement.

"I have a mom who is received her Doctorate in English" is far, far worse, sorry. Nice try though.

Amuse yourself then, and remember to clean your keyboard afterward. You bored me to tears last week, and still didn't realize your faulty premises.

who has. feel free to look it up.

that's two lessons. let me know if you need any more. or a thicker coat.

Ding ding, into the ring!

Well, since it's obviously a typo it's not the sort of thing I'd usually bother to point out. I only annoy people when I think they really don't know that what they're doing is incorrect. I'm sure we can all see that it should read:

Of course, having a Mom who got her Doctorate in English before she got a real job probably helped.

I don't know why you thought JM had gotten whose and who's confused, Freezer. It looks like either he started writing the sentence one way, changed his mind and forgot to change that word or it was a simple typo.

*EDIT*

Oh I see, you were thinking it was meant to be 'who has'. That's still not right though, since the original text had 'got' rather than 'received'. "...having a Mom who has got her Doctorate..." doesn't work, JM would also have had to change 'got' to 'gotten'.

I'm of the opinion that when the debate has reached the point that the last 4 or 5 posts have been snipes about spelling, the debaters have run out of **** to say and should shut up and let the thread die.
