You were expecting any sort of intellectual competence from a guy who gets into a grammar debate and then trusts spellcheck to catch his mistakes?!?

Hi Aziz, Sorry to see that Grammarman and Spellcheck Boy (Col and Rich) have hijacked your thread as they have so many others to promote their own drivel, and apologies in advance for this, sorry it's in Word:

"pigeon English?!?!?!?" :eek: This is hilarious! What's pigeon English? The word is pidgin. Yet another smarmy hypocritical jab at the Americans...what else is new...

Exactly where did I "mention" a third party? The 2 posts of yours I quoted were in response the posts I'd made in reply to that "third party." By answering for him you were the one to involve that poor misunderstood innocent into our discourse. And still,

Even for you, that was incredibly weak. Both those quoted posts were replies to posts I'd made to that "third party," and as fabulously as you two seem to get along, I'm certainly not going to take credit for introducing you. :p

"Are you from...?" can mean, "do you live there?", "were you raised there?", "were you born there?", "is that the organization to which you belong?","is that the influence that shapes your current line of reasoning?" etc...in short, it can mean a lot of things. If you require specific data, be...

It's so cute how you answer for each other, just like an old married couple. ;)

Oh, you are asking if I was born in Georgia? Why didn't you say so? "Where you are from" usually means "where do you live?" And no, I was not born in Georgia.

Er, as it says in my profile, I'm from Seattle WA. My bad for assuming you couldn't read that for yourself as it is included in all my posts. WA is the state abbreviation code for Washington State. Couldn't have said it better myself :rolleyes: ;)

We'd already established that, do try to keep up. Changing the intent of the words after the fact doesn't change their meaning. There were no hypothetical qualifications for your preferred outfit in the original post, and a knife was part of the ensemble. However, one has to wonder at your...

Basic? Non-existant rather. I don't recall you ever answering the charge of being a hypocrite for shrilly demonizing gun owners in the US when you yourself carry an illegal weapon for the purpose of self defense: Obviously in the UK there is a real need to be prepared to defend yourself...

Hear, hear! I must applaud the assessment of Rich/Col's ability to debate as well, whenever a shred of testimony is offered that contradicts the incredibly ignorant, misinformed and ad hominem statements they make, it always devolves into even more of the same...

*disclaimer* I lived for 10 years in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, I have an acquired antipathy for trolls. *end disclaimer* Er, the first item on televised news where I live is almost always the latest casualty figures from Iraq, followed by interviews with the family and friends, local...

GaryPanic, I'm sorry if you felt I was including you in this group, and I certainly hope you aren't including yourself in with them, I figured as a group they were self identifying. I know I've met quite a few people here and elsewhere from the UK who I would not consider "RAA." I just find it...

What facts am I denying? That you refuse to recognize your own hypocrisy? :confused: I already admitted that was a pointless exercise. I do apologize for not aknowledging the fact that a thread dedicated to showing thanks for the sacrifices made by veterans has been hijacked like so many...

...and thank you for the patented, ignorant and absurd anti-American generalization...;)

Your hypocrisy goes a lot farther back than that. I didn't vote for Bush, yet I'm lumped in with all Americans and held accountable for his actions...apparently when a British head of state decides on a course of action that you personally don't agree with, it's because the decision makers were...

*crickets chirp* I know it's pointless to try to get the rabid anti american set to admit to their own hypocrisy, but I admire your continuing efforts to point it out. ;)
