JP DENIES INTERACIAL COUPLE MARRAIGE LISCENSE

The right to keep and bare feet shall not be infringed.

You're all mouth, HS, nothing more.

So sorry, JTT, you will never hope to reach mastery of symbolic logic or of any western language, having started (from a shaky basis) far too late to deploy pattern-recognition eidetic structures; ask somebody WHY you invariably use double negatives (as in your only other post on this thread) or use Chomsky-defined nonsensical constructs ("all mouth" instead of "all talk") as in your second post on this thread. Even our brothers and sisters the chimpanzees (recently classified into our own genus, "homo") do better than you, in case you're not in touch with Kyoto U:

No, please don't bother replying, this thread is already overrun by posters even less conversant with logic than you are - good bye, JTT

Hows it go again?..

"This is by far the second best aboriginal-primate-intelligence-inter-racial-marriage thread I've ever participated in."

LOL TKO, if Chimpy, whose photograph graces the article I just linked on her mathematical abilities >

> does better than the best and the brightest of the rest of us, why would you begrudge her that credit?! Remember, please, that chimpanzee DNA is only 500,000 generations apart from ours (maybe excluding JTT) which makes Chimpy much closer to us (again excluding JTT) than she is compared to our common cousins the gorillas. Our brothers and sisters chimpanzees are entitled by rights to life, liberty, and freedom from torture - read up on it sometime. One day I hope to see all intelligent relatives of ours including dolphins, whales, dogs, wolves, and of course all great apes covered by the same bill of rights.

As I said, HS, you're all mouth with nothing but babble oozing out. That's not overly surprising considering the thought processes you exhibit here.

You seem to suggest that you're one of these idiots who thinks that in language, double negation always leads to a positive.

While the majority of your lies are normally better disguised, I'm not at all reluctant to point out your bald-faced lie, above.

Or, your grasp of reality is so tenuous that you're not at all certain exactly what is in these threads that you "participate" in.

JTT are you having your monthly? Your mouth is bleeding.

No, Sglass. I'm just tired of HS's lies.

Thanks, Seaglass, but expecting any kind of rational speech from JTT represents a triumph of optimism over experience

I think that you might find it refreshing if you were to exhibit a scintilla of honesty, High Seas, and address the issues that you raised?

Surely there's more to your knowledge of language than the glib parade of buzzwords you so frequently use.

A Louisiana justice of the peace who refused to marry a couple because the bride was white and groom was black resigned Tuesday.

Keith Bardwell, who is white, quit the post with a one-sentence statement to Louisiana Secretary of State Jay Dardenne and no explanation of his decision: "I do hereby resign the office of Justice of the Peace for the Eighth Ward of Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, effective November 3, 2009."

About time! -edgarblythe

By resigning, I assume all of his benefits and pensions remain in full effect. I wonder if that'd be true if be were fired.

"I'm not a racist," he said.

They always seem to say that don't they? Even High Seas said it.

That's because in their own minds they're not, Eorl. What's in a word? It means different things to different people.

Yeah, I know. (sigh).

(... and when I say "they always seem to say that", you know I mean "it seems they always say that". It's a pet hate syntax error that I seem to have been infected with. Thanks for nothing Laurie Anderson!)

JTT would say it's no error.
I disagree but I forgive you.

I'll reserve judgment for now but I'd just be awfully interested to see you explain why it's an error, Merry or Eorl.

"they always seem to say that":
On every occaision they look like they are saying that, though they may not actually be, as "seem" allows for error, illusion, etc

"it seems they always say that":
I get the impression, though it may not be reliable, that they say that every time.

So it's about what the "seem" applies to, the saying or the always.

He's an elected official. He can't be fired.
