For a businessman with no political experience , he should not be judged so harshly prematurely .
He should be judged as the president of the US, nothing less. If he can't live up to that, he's not the right person for the job.

Quote by patokl
I completely agree with that, nothing will. However, the fact that the title refers to an impossible scenario, does not make it impossible to understand, what Boyle wants to convey about Donald Trump with his piece. All that takes, is a little imagination and reading beyond the title. Think of what might happen if Karma and reincarnation did exist. Look at it, as hypothetical, in stead of factual. Just like we treat the phenomenon magic, when we read Harry Potter or any other fantasy story.
Quote by Return2SndR
I never said anything made it impossible to understand. In fact, it now seems you "completely agree" that what I said understanding what was written is true, meaning my understanding of it likely was also.
However, I have no problem with using "a little imagination" reading beyond the title of Harry Potter, John Grisham, or many others. But this is Boyle (a person I assume truly exists) writing something about Trump (who we know truly exists) as President Trump (which also truly exists now, & I believe when he wrote the piece).
Therefore, if his title is quite easy to comprehend so we both agree that what is described in it cannot take place in either of our respective lifetimes (or perhaps Boyle's or Trump's), there is no point in/reason to read beyond its title.
Quote by patokl
You did claim, something made it impossible to understand, what Boyle's piece meant. You literally said about the link (i.e. the piece): "nobody from anywhere gets the message, as the claim is impossible.".
I agreed from the start, that reincarnation isn't possible, let alone as oneself. I only challenged your argument, that nobody gets the message because of that.
As it turns out, you've made your claim, without even reading the piece, in other words, you really don't know what you are talking about.
Quote by Return2SndRYou can only judge the intention of a title, if you read the piece it belongs to. Anything you say about a text, you admittedly haven't read, or its readers, is just ignorant, uninformed rambling.
Something makes it hard to understand what you're saying every time you post... Or maybe some-things. I know one is the excess/misplaced punctuation.
Nonetheless, I have read your posts (partially or in full) repeatedly if needed to aid my comprehension.
If you agreed that reincarnation isn't possible, let alone being reincarnated as the exact same person, then the "argument" you "challenged" goes without saying, as even if you "get"/comprehend the message, the second you do so, you realize it's blatantly false.

Gee, what do you think the give away was? His arrogant manor? His inability to write the word 'and', or how he spoke from experience about knowing what it takes to get banned?

Where has anyone spoken? This is largely not an audio site.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Quote by Return2SndR
Anything you post is ignorant rambling, with sad attempts to be hidden by extra punctuation which is often used to suggest a pause by the reader.
I know this because your posts don't have titles, so one must actually bother to waste the time reading them.

Likewise, there was no giveaway. This place (as the world) is full of conspiracy theorists.
Quote by SydneySider
Well, I scrolled up to the top of this page and in a quote of yours, you mention the word, said, which means you had to voice it. So based on your believe that this is a non audio site and that people cant hear your text, you would have been better off writing "I wrote", and not said. Kinda hypocritical of you. What's new. Seems you are going to spend a lot of time correcting every post that contains the word 'said' who used it in the same context I did. And, you yourself did. I'll stop playing with the animals now. We know who you are. No conspiracy. Enjoy your stay while it lasts. Peace out! Back to trump.
Quote by Return2SndR
I may have, but every time that person posts, they state contradictory things (agreeing & arguing with me) with extra/needless commas. Which is worse? Mistakes are equal, as your siblings will tell you.
I will not be correcting everyone as unlike (it seems) many of you (including people who often ban members without reason & let rule-violators remain & continue to violate rules), I have many far better things to do with my time.

Quote by noll
It's funny that you complain about one's use of commas when, in the same comment, you use an abundance of parentheses. Ever noticed that different languages use punctuation slightly different? They do. So, you could interpret a non-native speaker's use of punctuation as a written version of a foreign accent.
Quote by Return2SndR
I don't spend all that much time studying languages, but I suppose you are right.
Regardless, I see no problem using a lot of parentheses as long as I use them properly. The same is true for my use of ampersands. Both seem to be regular points of attack for members here, rather than any topic being discussed. Ironically, my problem is/was not with the quantity of commas in any one post, but what appeared (likely not only to me, though I can see the claims of such coming) to be misuses of them, which potentially make comprehension of posts more difficult & affect discussion.

I see nuder has been kicked off the premises once more. But this time all his posts are gone as well. Not sure why that is though, as it makes this thread look weird with all these responses to comments that aren't there
