I think intent is a factor 4th law of robotics Jul 2012 #27

I never implied that Mitt's "death camp" was the equivalent of any other. Scuba Jul 2012 #29

Death camp has a pretty well understood meaning 4th law of robotics Jul 2012 #32

This is from Websters nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #34

This is also from Websters... Scuba Jul 2012 #36

Yes, you engaged in it, and I called you on it nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #40

Please respond to the questions. :-) patrice Jul 2012 #47

It is quite simple nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #51

Nadine, I respect your sensibilities and don't want to offend. Sincere question though... Scuba Jul 2012 #81

Actually inquisition is used in that way nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #82

So it's OK for "inquisition" to be used as hyperbole, but not "death camp"? Scuba Jul 2012 #83

read the theseaurus definition AGAIN nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #84

Reasonable people can disagree. Scuba Jul 2012 #85

Your absolutist dependence upon a BOOK suggests autocratic intent. Correct me if I am wrong. nt patrice Jul 2012 #46

(WARNING GRAPHIC) You mean we should all abandon a dictionary for accepted definitions? nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #53

Abandon? No, you're the one proposing FALSE-dichotomies here. I'm just saying don't mistake patrice Jul 2012 #57

The one engaging in a false dichotomy, and you are following nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #61

And I'll save you the trouble before you go there: You are going to need to point to where I said patrice Jul 2012 #62

Again, engage in more hyperbole nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #64

This is the tip of the iceberg....these 'youth camps' are a major industry! LongTomH Jul 2012 #37

Yeah, but they are NOT death camps nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #63

Say that to their DEAD. Sheesh. :-| patrice Jul 2012 #66

I care about the recs only in the sense that they draw further attention to Mitt's ... Scuba Jul 2012 #97

And some of us also care about the correct use of language nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #98

Language is a living organism. Trying to constrain it to serve one's own priorities is futile. Scuba Jul 2012 #99
