I am curious. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 01:10:52 AM
Why do you insist on typing out et alia? If you're going to be a wanker* about it, why do I never see you using et alii or et aliae?

Well, I'm hoping I simply disagree with your diction rather than your motives. Joel - 14/11/2010 03:36:57 PM 738 Views
Re: No, you disagree with my motives. Gaps - 15/11/2010 01:06:54 AM 731 Views
Jesus, who was executed for treason, is another relatively famous subversive. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/11/2010 01:43:22 AM 402 Views
Re: I believe I've heard of him. Played centerfield for the Braves? *NM* Gaps - 15/11/2010 03:38:17 AM 410 Views
I've always heard about him as a linebacker for the Saints. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/11/2010 04:25:00 AM 353 Views

When you give me an example of Jefferson murdering women and children that analogy will work. Joel - 15/11/2010 01:49:04 PM 685 Views
yes because Jefferson was a PARAGON of virtue himself LadyLorraine - 15/11/2010 02:17:58 PM 783 Views
I wasn't aware I'd made that statement. Joel - 15/11/2010 02:25:27 PM 627 Views
nvm, I was going to argue but I have decided not to *NM* LadyLorraine - 15/11/2010 07:46:42 PM 439 Views
So you are being completely subjective here? It is wrong, unless it is for a cause you support? *NM* snoopcester - 15/11/2010 02:30:37 PM 361 Views
No, it's a question of precedence. Joel - 15/11/2010 04:13:04 PM 645 Views
government as a social contract is an opinion. LadyLorraine - 15/11/2010 07:47:57 PM 702 Views
Government as social contract is accepted everywhere political power doesn't come out of a gun. Joel - 15/11/2010 09:26:19 PM 826 Views
His analogy works very well, and you are still being subjective. (beat.) - 15/11/2010 08:23:25 PM 878 Views
The precedence is inherent in the statement; that was Jeffersons point. Joel - 15/11/2010 09:17:01 PM 834 Views
Re: The precedence is inherent in the statement; that was Jeffersons point. Gaps - 15/11/2010 10:52:40 PM 657 Views
I don't believe that at all. Joel - 16/11/2010 12:08:26 AM 556 Views
I'm sorry, at what point did he say he wished to overturn social contract philosophy? LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 01:47:49 AM 648 Views
Heaven forbid anyone put words in peoples mouths. Joel - 16/11/2010 04:38:20 PM 857 Views
uhm, he did not say every rebel is a traitor. LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 04:49:23 PM 605 Views
Re: uhm, which "he" are we speaking of here? Joel - 16/11/2010 04:58:12 PM 841 Views
dude, so your issue is that you're afraid the CIA is going to show up on your door? LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 05:01:38 PM 787 Views
My issue is not inviting trouble just to impotently shake my fist at omnipotent but faceless evil. Joel - 16/11/2010 10:31:54 PM 5953 Views
They also don't get paid to waste their superiors time with silly conversations on silly websites *NM* Helene - 18/11/2010 10:56:36 AM 478 Views

Re: As I mentioned numerous times. Joel - 17/11/2010 01:34:29 AM 731 Views
No, its relevancy is difficult to grasp. (beat.) - 16/11/2010 07:19:11 AM 829 Views
Maybe I just have an unusual perspective. Joel - 16/11/2010 04:15:39 PM 800 Views
I didn't know they bombed a SCHOOL!!! LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 04:31:24 PM 673 Views
Please. If there were any soldiers in the WTC on 911 it was coincidental. Joel - 16/11/2010 04:40:51 PM 700 Views
perhaps, but not all important targets are military targets. LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 04:57:20 PM 849 Views
Not all important targets are LEGITIMATE targets either. Joel - 16/11/2010 05:06:11 PM 672 Views
I don't wish one, but I hate sidebars LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 05:09:33 PM 717 Views

This your first time on the CMB? Joel - 16/11/2010 11:18:03 PM 673 Views
No, NOW I know what's going on! (beat.) - 16/11/2010 04:36:04 PM 811 Views
Still doesn't work. Joel - 16/11/2010 04:50:58 PM 810 Views
Those last sentences are going way overboard. Legolas - 16/11/2010 05:08:40 PM 680 Views
Terrorism is inexcusable and indefensible, but at least there's a LOGIC to it. Joel - 16/11/2010 05:21:15 PM 770 Views
First of all, your generalizations were misguided. Legolas - 16/11/2010 05:40:55 PM 778 Views
Of course I disagree, but that's a different and older debate. Joel - 16/11/2010 11:10:23 PM 933 Views
I will try to be brief. Try. Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:28:28 PM 732 Views
Heh. Joel - 16/11/2010 11:55:40 PM 687 Views
mostly agree snoopcester - 16/11/2010 11:18:14 PM 627 Views
"Treason never prospers, what's the reason? If it prospers, none dare call it treason". Joel - 16/11/2010 11:30:55 PM 717 Views
I agree with the title - that seems to be a good quote to define when treason stops becoming treason snoopcester - 16/11/2010 11:39:37 PM 718 Views
Treason is always treason, Pope just had a wry wit. Joel - 17/11/2010 12:27:29 AM 704 Views
. . . and now I'm thinking you're the one willfully misunderstanding. (beat.) - 16/11/2010 05:36:15 PM 708 Views
Not willful, at least. Joel - 17/11/2010 12:29:42 AM 676 Views
sorry snoopcester - 16/11/2010 11:24:44 PM 728 Views
Equally sorry if I've somehow done SOME Islamic TERRORISTS a disservice. Joel - 17/11/2010 12:44:34 AM 763 Views
Well, you know what I was going on about, if that helps? *NM* snoopcester - 16/11/2010 11:25:18 PM 420 Views
"Subversion" has the connotation of treason, however wrongly. Joel - 15/11/2010 01:32:06 PM 752 Views

Either my mind moves much faster than ya'lls, or ya'll are deliberately missing the point. Joel - 16/11/2010 12:05:28 AM 768 Views

Argggh, ya got me! Joel - 16/11/2010 05:11:41 PM 616 Views
the dictionary has -nia and -iums. LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 05:16:32 PM 711 Views
I prefer "millennia" but recall someone telling me that's not technically right. Joel - 16/11/2010 05:32:34 PM 648 Views
well, in American English, they're apparantly both "correct" *NM* LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 06:13:40 PM 459 Views
In American English, almost anything is. Joel - 17/11/2010 01:02:15 AM 758 Views
It is right. It's the one thing that's easy in Latin and Greek declensions. Legolas - 16/11/2010 06:33:12 PM 683 Views
You call then "neutral" over there? Interesting. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/11/2010 06:42:00 PM 456 Views
Neutral, neutrum, neuter, whatever. Details. *NM* Legolas - 16/11/2010 06:45:29 PM 408 Views
Do only neuter words end in -um? Sareitha Sedai - 16/11/2010 06:57:39 PM 738 Views
Yes. I think so, anyway - been a good while since I had Latin. Legolas - 16/11/2010 07:12:09 PM 719 Views
Thanks. Maybe that's what I'm remembering. Sareitha Sedai - 16/11/2010 07:17:05 PM 695 Views
IIRC, the number of "n"s was the issue. Joel - 17/11/2010 01:06:24 AM 721 Views
Should definitely be two. *NM* Legolas - 17/11/2010 01:48:51 AM 373 Views
Ah, thanks. Joel - 17/11/2010 02:08:08 AM 717 Views

I'm horrible about using "conjugate" as a blanket term. Joel - 17/11/2010 01:09:34 AM 762 Views
Oh yes, because you're very much in danger!!! LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 01:51:58 AM 583 Views
The Secret Service once tracked down a teenager who wrote a death threat on a bill he passed. Joel - 16/11/2010 05:30:18 PM 715 Views
I'm definitely missing the point. (beat.) - 16/11/2010 06:58:17 AM 734 Views
Well, hopefully we've cleared things up now. *MN* Joel - 16/11/2010 05:30:46 PM 743 Views
