More disingenuousness from Kallend. Even amorous activity is "a matter of degree." I can fondle a lover's earlobe with a feather touch, or I can rip it off her head with only what, 6 pounds of pressure or something like that. So let's talk about the intent of using something like CS or OC, as opposed to sarin or mustard gas... Don't worry, reply as disingenuously as you like. It's not like I'm awaiting an argument made in good faith. -Jeffrey --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Chemical weapons are used in the US routinely. I dunno... I am not sure I think of crowd-dispersal chemicals like pepper spray or teargas as "weapons." And I'm pretty sure that the thread was directed toward the KILLING use of INTENTIONALLY LETHAL chemicals on civilians -- not the rare and unintentional death that occurs from a severe reaction to teargas used on a riot. But you looooove to obfuscate, so... carry on. -Jeffrey --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

billvon 3,120 #13 September 15, 2004 >Those are analogies, not similes. Similes are literary devices where you make a comparison between two unrelated things, like comparing chemical weapons to ripping someone's ear off. An analogy is an inference that if things agree in one respect they probably agree in another i.e. a computer processes information and outputs results; you could make an analogy to a human brain and claim that it processes information in a similar manner.

Yes, thank you, and that underscores my point that I was using analogies. In fact, nowhere in your text above do you attempt to even say that I was not using what I said I was using. I was comparing the relationship of "degrees" between your example and my example. I can't figure out what you were trying to accomplish if not to point out that I was right. How did you look up the word "simile" and NOT find a definition that stipulates that a simile employs the word "LIKE"? Simile - a figure of speech in which one thing is likened to another, dissimilar thing by the use of like, as, etc. (ex.: a heart as big as a whale, her tears flowed like wine) (source, Webster's New World Dictionary, Third College Edition) A metaphor, by the way, is a lot like a simile but does not employ the word "like," or "as" the way a simile does. "He is a workhorse on the jobsite." "She is a regular dynamo in bed!" These are not analogies, because they do not liken the relationship between one pair of things with the relationship between another pair. They are not similes because they don't use comparative words like "like." So once again, thanks for proving me right. Blue skies, -Jeffrey --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...
