Unemployment was down to Some remark about stones and glass houses appears to be in order. You wrote 42 twice, so you cannot claim it to be a keystroke error. No, the first 1942 was in regard to the fact that Dec 1941 is all but 1942 and in round numbers it is 1942; that was intentional. When I'm referencing the economy, I speak in round numbers. For instance, I'm not going to pick out march 17th, any given year, I'm going to reference the first quarter or the entire year, etc. So referencing 1942 with unemployment numbers is what I meant. Dec 8, 1942 is, in round terms, 1943. But the war did officially start on Dec 8, 1941, that was a typo, as the 2 key was next to the 1 key. Go watch the SNL skit I posted, we all love neo-cons that back-slap each other - wouldn't be the same if they quit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #53 November 21, 2009 Quote Quote Quote My God...you are blonde! Says the guy that called the PH attack a 1945 venture. Says the guy that posted a link from the Onion and called it legit and an Republican rag. (Remember that you referred to that Onion video with this: "I think it is real and legit".) Ah yes, more dishonesty from the source of lies; you. See how you have my supposed quote? Of course it's incorrect how you have the period outside the quotation mark, but I think even the most uneducated know what you mean. When you take a partial sentence as a quotation, you need to place, "..." on the front and/or back end if it to show it's a partial quote or it's a blatant lie and misrepresentation. This is the entire quote: I think it is real and legit, but hidden behind the guise of satire. By that I meant that the feelings were real, but used satire to hide them. I wrote: Being the Onion I can't tell for sure. Is it satire meant to be total sarcatism, but with a flair of real intent? I'm sure the Onion would say it's pure sarcasm, but they really mean it. By 'real' I mean is this a real site espousing their typical racist, homophic BS; you know, good Republican Christian values. The whole thread was started as I was under the impression that the Onion was a RW rag, as I had rarely seen it before and then just glanced at it. I see vile hatred and I think RW rag, my bad.

Anyone who read the Onion before the Obama inauguration knows that your latest excuse for being fooled is no better than the ones before. I've never read the Onion before and never thought it was a crime for not. Guess I learned that. Arguing with neo-cons is a dichotomy: They know things like the Onion, Beavis and Butthead, etc, bot can't comprehend things like the GDP, historical trends and results from tax cuts, etc. Like I've said, neo-cons are somewhere between a sociopath and a teenage boy. As in, w/o a conscience and w/o fear of consequence. History proves it out, at least going back to the early 1920's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here, little kid, is your free grammar lesson for the week: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_quoting_out_of_context Fallacy of quoting out of context The practice of quoting out of context, sometimes referred to as "contextomy" or "quote mining", is a logical fallacy and type of false attribution in which a passage is removed from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its intended meaning.[1] Arguments based on this fallacy typically take two forms. As a straw man argument, which is frequently found in politics, it involves quoting an opponent out of context in order to misrepresent their position (typically to make it seem more simplistic or extreme) in order to make it easier to refute. As an appeal to authority, it involves quoting an authority on the subject out of context, in order to misrepresent that authority as supporting some position. That's just taking a complete passsage out of context, let alone not, "..." for teh missing part. I've written several legal docs and if you change anything, whether a peson's assertion or a passage of statute from a book, you must indicate that you emboldened or shortened to focus on whatever you're tyring to exemplify. I don't practice or expect that level of professionalism in a posting board, but basic honesty requires the, "..." I wrote: I think it is real and legit, but hidden behind the guise of satire. If you're honest, you can't take a part of that, you must represent the entire meaning. Funny how your types usually want English-only, yet you don't practice it yourself.
