What status are you talking about?


The humor effect would be minimal



That is gonna comeback to bite you soon enough... assumptions are starting. I have not made assumptions but mere suggestions.
For example...
1. Have you been smoking crack? - I am not assuming, but merely suggesting
2. ... perhaps the computer provided a affirmative action base result (regarding the 100% you claim you scored on the IQ test). Again a mere suggestion which provides an explanation.
3. Perhaps an inability to read an article for what it is worth seems to be an acute symptom some suffer from

And I suppose there are others like these scattered throughout this thread. Again I am not assuming anything.

Perhaps you need to read and comprehend what exactly is being said.

assumption: : a fact or statement (as a PROPOSITION, axiom, postulate, or notion) taken for granted


suggestion synonyms: offer, proffer, PROPOSITION, suggestion


semantics aside,

perhaps I read and comprehend quite well

Your inaccurate opinion is always welcome here...lol

I have been reading DeusImperator's comments the entire thread and I think everyone needs to cut the man some slack. This is after all the World Wide Web and it makes no difference where you hail from, you're entitled to your opinion.

equal treatment, I personally dont discern by where people live,, I react to posts ,their information, and their tone,,,

I would have the same responses if he were from America or England (with the exception of the canadian politics comment)


I have actually had similar back and forth from other american posters over some of the same issues and the same debate approaches

Go Wikiogle and find out what I am talking about first. At least then you can disagree about it in good faith.

Are you looking that up in your own made up Ebonics dictionary? Perhaps that is why you do not seem to be able to read or comprehend well or for that matter even use a dictionary all that well?

A preposition which is taken for granted is an assumption. An axiom is a self-evident truth which is assumed especially branches of philosophy such as metaphysics and logic. For example scholastic philosophies especially those of the moderate-realist type such as Aristotelianism and Thomism where the universal exists apart from the perceiver but in the particulars - as opposed to extreme realism and its Platonic forms and the nominalism which denies it altogether.

If anyone is interested in _real_ metaphysics (not the new age mumbo-jumbo that is fed to the moronic masses as metaphysics by the likes of the charlatan Deepak Chopra), I would suggest Aquinas' lectures at the University of Paris on Aristotle's Metaphysics which have been compiled as the Commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics (Aristotelian Commentary Series) which provides the history and context to Aristotle's Metaphysics. Several of his Paris and Cologne lectures are available on Amazon. Better than anything I learnt from my philosophy profs.

LOL<, yeah,, Miriam webster is an ebonics dictionary,,,

must be,,considering my definition doesnt fit your own and must therefore not be proper,,,,,

not that miriam is anymore 'proper' than ebonics


but predictable that thats where you take it ,, again,,

I disagree in good faith now.

Again, you are passionate about what you believe which is admirable but you are not correct.

It has been proven already that you are incorrect. Just look at the history of your beliefs.

Might be...

let the dictionary wars begin... or who's dictionary is best Begin the copy past hack...

From the Oxford Dictionary -

1 a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof:
they made certain assumptions about the market
[with clause] :
we’re working on the assumption that the time of death was after midnight
2 [mass noun] the action of taking on power or responsibility:
the assumption of an active role in regional settlements
3 (Assumption)the reception of the Virgin Mary bodily into heaven. This was formally declared a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church in 1950.
the feast in honour of the Assumption, celebrated on 15 August.
4 [mass noun] archaic arrogance or presumption.

really? oxford only had those four definitions?....strange

but the british have many words they use differently than we do

I took for granted that the majority of those in this thread were from north america though, where webster is a more accurate reflection of the language

This is a reminder to leave the personal attacks off of the forums. Debate the topic and not the poster

Kim

What is the topic again?

oh yeah,, what solutions have congress suggested to increase employment?

The English language is an exacting language and words have a specific mean. I know I am going to have the postmodernists declare this a blasphemy and get their knickers bunched up but this is reality. While two words may have definitions which appear close, they can have very specific meanings. Assault & Battery for example.

the 'english' language is amazing and ever growing,,
