Winchester Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It turns out that all people use the same word in the same way. Further, if you explain your usage and it disagrees with this one way, you are either insane or a liar. Another exciting philosophical development brought to you from Budge!

Winchester Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Where's my only? And it's not my philosophy that words only apply as you choose to apply them. You've rejected people's usage of words and applied your own. And you haven't provided me my only. Because it doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know that is your goal...some of his best deceivers love to deny the implicit meaning of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Wow, you know my heart. I'm impressed. Dear child, if my goal were confusion, I wouldn't speak to you. You're already confused. Translated: I'm not the one who believes words have one definition. I am not the one who rejected a definition and put my own to make a person's sentence mean what I wanted it to mean. I'm sorry my sentence was complex. It was in English. And it should have been: "English, please." If you're going tro stall for time with grammar attacks, then please be MaryPoppinsish enough to use your commas. Where's my only?

Budge Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 So you're the English teacher? I havent seen us have any debates about synonyms yet or definitions of words. This is your typical diversionary tactics. I already recognize you as the board class clown whose main aim is to divert, deflect and deny. [img]http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pictures/weasel.jpg[/img] What word are you debating anyway? or are you just blowing more hot diversionary air?

Fidei Defensor Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Simple solution: we define our terms if they seem confusing to the opposing party. Budge, please stop telling us that we are stalling or trying to change the topic when you do the exact same thing. What are you doing right now? You are not addressing the topic at hand which is that you define words on your own terms, instead of the intended meaning, so you can pick apart the argument which you created. That's called a strawman. If you don't stick to the definition intended by the person, then you are creating a false argument under your terms and attacking it. If you are going to debate, please be intellectually honest. If you are unsure of a term and what it is being defined as, please ask the person instead of accusing them of being a pawn of satan and purposely trying to be confusing. You do realize that the level of grammar and language that people use isn't necesarily at the same level as you apparently claim to have? Please don't jump to conclusions all the time, people aren't necesarily trying to be confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I wish words did have only one meaning, and that I was the person who determined what that meaning was. Law school would be a heckuva lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure how it related to the discussion. Different words have different meanings among different groups of people. Example: At one point in time, "bad" not only mean "bad/wrong/naughty," but also meant "good/awesome" among certain groups of people(mostly teenagers and young adults). BTW-I'm not a teenager. Why don't you bother to learn a little about a person before you start making snide comments about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
