Please try and remember that I've got about 40 years' more education

you do.

I'm 33. Are you 73?

Of course, you could be talking "formal education". If you count

pre-k
and
kindergarten as "formal education", I have 22 years of "formal

education".
Assuming you started pre-k at age 4, you'd need to be 66 years old to

have
40 more years of education.


You know exactly what I mean.



No. I really don't.


Then I'll play your game and lead you around in circles by your nose: You

There are/were a lot of other CIA sources telling Tenet (and
Bush/Cheney) that they weren't there. Tenet's 'slam dunk' quote was his
loyalist response to Bush/Cheney's cherrypicking of intel on WMDs.

In discussing his resignation, news sources have said that he was very well

Look at the definition of "oriental" in ANY on-line

definition meaning "Asian person" is ALWAYS indicated
as offensive. Always.

Educated and enlightened people don't use it, ever, to

Relax, Doug. It was a comedy.

Did you go to the link I provided? Sure, the term "oriental" is not used as
much as "asian" in this PC-out-of-control World of ours, but falls about as
low on the "offensive meter" as a word can fall.

I never said that. The originator of the whole argument (****tard) tried to
say that the word "grecian" is only an adjective and never a noun...even
though every dictionary lists it as both. Initially, Doug was arguing the
same thing. When shown that they were wrong, Doug had twisted the topic of
debate to imply that I was arguing that people in modern times call Greek
people "Grecians".

That's simply not the argument that I was making.

Ahh. Hasidic Camera Supply is an inside joke, I guess. Virtually all the
NYC discount photo stores, along with virtually all the diamond
merchants, are owned and operated by Hasids. Most are very, very
trustworthy people. I bought my wife's diamond on a "telephone"
handshake up there, and when I had it appraised here, it turned out to
be even better than represented.

I got the kit. The lens interests me, because 70 x 1.5 is 105 mm, and

Read it again, John. This exercise is NOT based on opinions. It is based on
simple numbers. NOYB will not find 10 examples of modern usage of the word
"Grecian". If somehow he does, we only need to count them, not judge them.

Geez, I couldn't imagine how awful it would be to live in

bumfoch-Georgia
and have to drive nearly 70 miles just to use your boat in a *lake*.

Ich.
Who the hell would even think about living in such a place...besides
in-breeders?


Again, proving yourself a dolt. Atlanta is a great place to live. Ever
wonder why it is such a metropolis? World class theater, world class
restaurants, great music scene, I can be in the mountains in one hour,
at the beach in 3.5. Can you?
[snip remaining civic boosterism]


A place NEVER is "world class" just because the local
yokels are saying it is. A place doesn't become world
class until people OUTSIDE the area are saying it.

NO ONE outside Atlanta is calling it a "world class"
anything, except maybe a world class ********.


Geez, basskisser, your buddy "****tard" doesn't seem to agree with your
assessment of Atlanta.


snicker No doubt asslicker thinks going to 'cheetah's' is the equivalent
of seeing "cats" and fine dining is eating at "The Varsity"

Let's try this one last time. If you don't answer the question in a

fashion
judged to be sensible by me and perhaps DSK, we'll all interpret it to

mean
that you are finally admitting that you're wrong. Ready?

Please point out 10 examples of "Grecian" being used in the last 100

years
to describe Greeks. Poetry is not an option, nor are examples where
"Grecian" was used as an affectation. And, your president's example is

not
allowed in the list of 10. The correct examples would be news sources,
especially if one or more of them involved actual persons of Greek origin
discussing themselves or their culture.


Is that the new 'pass-fail' criteria now? If you and/or DSK don't approve,

then
no one in the group approves? I don't remember subscribing to that

philosophy!

Where do b'asskisser, ****turd, and Harry fit into this scheme? Don't one

of
them have to judge the sensibility also?


News sources? Since when do 'news sources" make something credible?????

Please don't drag me into this any further. I can't believe that NOBBY
and some of his whacko pals (or are they all sock puppets?) are actually
stupid enough to think the word "Grecian" can be used to denote people
in/from Greece; and furthermore they're stupid enough to spend alot of
time trying to prove it.

The question is, why are you bothering to argue with them? You need to
get out more, Doug!

Doug King


1) They don't believe it, Doug. It's a game NOYB plays. JohnH used to, but
he seems to have lost his touch lately.

and...

B) I'm stuck in the office, dealing with business, mortgage people, home
inspectors, the lawyer, the insurance agent, and to top it all off, the
$)!#$ company that shipped my new SeaSense trailer lights to the wrong $)!#$
address. On the spectrum of annoyances, dealing with NOYB is meaningless. It
certainly requires very little intellectual effort!

I'm surprised you picked up on that over the internet. For most people, it
takes several face-to-face meeting with me before they ever come to that

I never said that. The originator of the whole argument (****tard) tried

to
say that the word "grecian" is only an adjective and never a noun...even
though every dictionary lists it as both. Initially, Doug was arguing the
same thing. When shown that they were wrong, Doug had twisted the topic

of
debate to imply that I was arguing that people in modern times call Greek
people "Grecians".

That's simply not the argument that I was making.

Hehehe. At least we agree on this one.

I imagine these same ****wits who are insisting
"Grecian" is correct also still want to call Asians
"Orientals".

Here's a neat link, Doug. The term "Oriental" rates a big, fat ZERO on


the

"disparagement scale" of the "Offensiveness Quotient".


Look at the definition of "oriental" in ANY on-line
dictionary (we know you don't own a printed one). The
definition meaning "Asian person" is ALWAYS indicated
as offensive. Always.



And "Grecian" is always indicated as an adjective *OR* a *NOUN*.


No, it isn't.
